NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FactSet ("FactSet" or the "Company") (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2025 ended August 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights

GAAP revenues increased 6.2%, or $34.7 million, to $596.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $562.2 million in the prior year period. Organic⁽¹⁾ revenues grew 4.5% year over year to $587.3 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Growth in GAAP and organic revenues this quarter was driven by institutional buy-side clients and wealth clients.
Annual Subscription Value ("ASV") was $2,405.6 million at August 31, 2025, compared with $2,255.4 million at August 31, 2024. Organic ASV was $2,370.9 million at August 31, 2025, up 5.7% or $127.3 million year over year⁽²⁾.
Organic ASV increased $81.8 million over the last three months. Please see the "ASV" section of this press release for details.
GAAP operating margin increased to 29.7% compared with 22.7% for the prior year period, primarily due to growth in revenues and lapping of the prior year's charges related to a Massachusetts sales tax dispute, partially offset by higher employee compensation costs and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted operating margin decreased to 33.8% compared with 35.8% in the prior year period, mainly due to lapping of the prior year's lower bonus accrual and higher technology expenses.
GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 73.7% to $4.03 compared with $2.32 for the same period in fiscal 2024, mainly driven by growth in revenues, a gain on the divestiture of a business and lower operating expenses. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 8.3% to $4.05 compared with $3.74 in the prior year period, driven by growth in revenues and a lower tax rate, offset by margin compression.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $212.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 30.0% compared with the prior year period. Free cash flow increased to $178.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $137.2 million for the prior year period, an increase of 29.8%, primarily due to higher operating cash flows.
GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to 18.7% compared with 23.6% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a lower U.S. tax impact of foreign earnings.

^{(1) References to "organic" figures in this press release exclude the current year impact of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the past 12 months and the current year impact from changes in foreign currency.

(2) Beginning in fiscal 2025, FactSet is reporting Organic ASV, rather than Organic ASV plus Professional Services, to focus on the recurring nature of its revenues. This underscores the shift of FactSet's offerings toward providing more managed services and less project-based services.}

"FactSet's strong fourth quarter performance reflects the power of our differentiated data, open platform, and client-centric culture," said Sanoke Viswanathan, CEO of FactSet. "We are at a strategic inflection point, where AI and data-driven innovation are reshaping workflows across financial markets. FactSet has the talent, technology, and data capabilities to lead this transformation. We will continue to build on our foundation of deep and trusted client relationships and disciplined execution while investing to drive sustainable, long-term value for clients and stockholders."

"FactSet finished fiscal 2025 from a position of strength, with continued growth and operating discipline," said Helen Shan, FactSet's CFO. "Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we remain focused on balancing investments with disciplined execution to drive durable, long-term stockholder value."

Fiscal 2025 Highlights

GAAP revenues increased 5.4% to $2.32 billion, up 4.4% on an organic basis, based primarily on growth in organic revenues driven by institutional buy-side and wealth clients. This result continues FactSet's track record of more than 45 consecutive years of increased revenues for the Company.
GAAP operating margin increased to 32.2% compared with 31.8% for the prior year, primarily due to growth in revenues and lapping of the prior year's charges related to a Massachusetts sales tax dispute, partially offset by higher amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted operating margin decreased to 36.3% compared with 37.8% in the prior year driven by lapping of the prior year's lower bonus accrual and higher technology expenses.
GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 11.8% to $15.55, mainly driven by growth in revenues and a gain on the divestiture of a business, partially offset by higher operating expense. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 3.2% to $16.98, primarily driven by growth in revenues and a lower tax rate, offset by margin compression. Fiscal 2025 marks the 29th consecutive year that FactSet has increased its adjusted diluted EPS.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $726.3 million for fiscal 2025, driven by net income and timing of vendor payments and customer collections. Free cash flow increased to $617.5 million for fiscal 2025 compared with $614.7 million for fiscal 2024, an increase of 0.5%, primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
GAAP effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 decreased to 17.2% compared with 17.6% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a lower U.S. tax impact of foreign earnings.
Client count increased by 9.5% or 779 during the fiscal year, while users grew by 9.7% or 20,943 from the prior year.
In May 2025, FactSet increased its quarterly cash dividend by 6% to $1.10 per share. The $0.06 per share increase marks the 26th consecutive year the Company has increased dividends on a stock split-adjusted basis, highlighting FactSet's continued commitment to return value to its stockholders.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events and circumstances, industries in which FactSet operates and the beliefs and assumptions of management. All statements that address expectations, guidance, outlook or projections about the future, including statements about the Company's strategy, product development, revenues, future financial results, anticipated growth, market position, subscriptions, expected expenditures or investments, trends in FactSet's business and financial results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words like "may," "might," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "indicates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, outcomes, events, or actions and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, including those discussed more fully elsewhere in this release and in FactSet's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly its latest annual report on Form 10-K, including Item 1A, Risk Factors, and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. FactSet assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law. Future results could differ materially from historical performance.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company also refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include: organic revenues, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, and free cash flow. The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP at the back of this release.

FactSet uses these non-GAAP financial measures both in presenting its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of the business. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors because they permit investors to view the Company's performance using the same tools that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Investors may benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, and such measures may also facilitate comparisons to historical performance. The Company believes that organic revenues, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS help to fully reflect the underlying economic performance of FactSet. The Company believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We are not able to provide reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The table below provides a reconciliation of operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted EPS to adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS.

Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and non-recurring items. EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense, while adjusted EBITDA further excludes non-recurring non-cash expenses.
