NORWALK, Conn., March 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a leading provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications, today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
For the quarter ended February 29, 2016, revenues grew to $281.8 million. Operating income was $85.3 million compared to $80.6 million in the prior year period. Net income was $67.8 million versus $61.6 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share were $1.63 compared to $1.46 in the same period of fiscal 2015.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company changed its non-GAAP reporting by adjusting for deal-related amortization. Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share exclude both deal-related amortization and non-recurring items. The Company believes that this change to its reported adjusted financial measures better reflects the underlying economic performance of FactSet. A supplementary schedule reconciling GAAP results to these adjusted financial measures is presented beginning on page 9 of this earnings release.
Excluding revenues acquired from acquisitions completed within the last 12 months and the effects of foreign currency, organic revenues grew 9.5%. Adjusted operating income for the quarter was $93.3 million, up 8.6% over the prior year. Adjusted operating income during the just completed second quarter excludes $4.1 million of deal-related amortization and $3.8 million of incremental expense from restructuring actions and stock-based compensation related to a change in the vesting of performance-based stock options. Adjusted net income advanced 9.9% over the prior year and excludes the after-tax charge of $2.9 million from deal-related amortization, the after-tax charge of $2.7 million from restructuring actions and incremental stock-based compensation expense and $7.3 million in income tax benefits from the permanent reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D tax credit, retroactive to January 1, 2015. Adjusted diluted EPS was up 12.0% to $1.59 and excludes the net effect of the $0.17 benefit from the permanent reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D tax credit, a $0.07 detriment from deal-related amortization and a $0.06 detriment from restructuring actions and incremental stock-based compensation expense.

“FactSet continues to perform well and with our unique content, superior workflow and analytical solutions, and unmatched client support, we will continue to partner with our clients to grow their businesses,” said Phil Snow, FactSet’s CEO.
Annual Subscription Value (“ASV”)
ASV was $1.139 billion at February 29, 2016, up 9.5% organically from the prior year. Over the last three months organic ASV increased $29.8 million, which excludes the effects of foreign currency. ASV at any given point in time represents the forward-looking revenues for the next 12 months from all services currently being supplied to clients.
Buy-side and sell-side ASV growth rates were both 9.5% for the second fiscal quarter of 2016. Buy-side clients account for 83.4% of ASV and the remainder is derived from sell-side firms that perform mergers and acquisitions advisory work, capital markets services and equity research. Supplementary tables covering buy-side and sell-side ASV growth rates are presented on page 11 of this earnings release.
Financial Highlights – Second Quarter of Fiscal 2016
- ASV from U.S. operations was $766 million and $373 million was related to non-U.S. operations.
- U.S. revenues were $189.7 million. Excluding revenues from acquisitions completed within the past 12 months, the U.S. growth rate was 9.4%.
- Non-U.S. revenues rose to $92.1 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions completed within the past 12 months, the international growth rate was 9.6%.
- Adjusted operating margin was 33.1%, compared to 34.6% in the year ago second quarter. Portware’s operations reduced FactSet’s just completed second quarter operating margin by 130 basis points and diluted earnings per share by $0.02. Excluding deal-related amortization, the Portware acquisition was $0.02 accretive in the just completed second quarter.
- The U.S. Federal R&D tax credit, which had previously expired on December 31, 2014, was reinstated during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The R&D tax credit was retroactive to January 1, 2015, and by providing for a permanent R&D tax credit, the yearly uncertainty surrounding the extension of the credit has been removed. The reenactment resulted in income tax benefits of $7.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, reducing the Company’s annual effective tax rate to 28.8%.
- Quarterly free cash flow of $81.1 million represents the highest reported second quarter free cash flow in Company history.

About Adjusted Financial Measures

Adjusted net income excludes an after-tax charge of $2.9 million from deal-related amortization, the after-tax charge of $2.7 million from restructuring actions and incremental stock-based compensation expense and $7.3 million in income tax benefits from the permanent reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D tax credit. Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.59 excludes the net effect of a $0.17 benefit from the reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D tax credit, a $0.07 detriment from deal-related amortization and a $0.06 detriment from restructuring actions and incremental stock-based compensation expense.

Included in the recently completed second quarter was $93.2 million of net cash provided by operations and $12.1 million of capital expenditures. The presentation of free cash flow is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

| (a) | GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was adjusted to exclude $4.1 million of pre-tax deal-related amortization, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.07. GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was adjusted to exclude $2.0 million of deal-related amortization, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.03. |
| (b) | GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was adjusted to exclude a pre-tax charge of $2.4 million from restructuring actions initiated by the Company. The restructuring actions reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.04 in the just completed second quarter. GAAP operating income for fiscal 2015 was adjusted to exclude a pre-tax charge of $3.2 million primarily from changes in the senior leadership responsible for the Company’s salesforce. This incremental expense reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.05 in the year ago second quarter. |
| (c) | GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was adjusted to exclude $1.4 million of pre-tax expense related to a change in the vesting of performance-based stock options. The incremental expense reduced diluted EPS by $0.02. |
| (d) | For the purposes of calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, deal-related amortization and non-recurring items were taxed at the effective tax rates of 28.8% for fiscal 2016 and 30.4% for fiscal 2015. |
| (e) | The U.S. Federal R&D tax credit, which had previously expired on December 31, 2014, was permanently reenacted and retroactive to January 1, 2015. The reenactment resulted in discrete income tax benefits of $7.3 million or $0.17 per diluted share during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. |
| (f) | In the year ago second quarter, the U.S. Federal R&D tax credit was reinstated, retroactive to January 1, 2014 and extended through the end of the 2014 calendar year.
