BROADRIDGE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS         
Announces Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth of 19% and Recurring Fee Revenue Growth of 8% Reaffirms Full Year Guidance

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 4, 2016 – Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR) today reported financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2016. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared with the same period last year were as follows:
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Results:
- Recurring fee revenues increased 8% to $399 million
- Total revenues increased 11% to $639 million
- Adjusted Operating income increased 19% to $80 million
- Operating income increased 19% to $70 million
- Adjusted Net earnings increased 16% to $46 million
- Net earnings increased 16% to $40 million
- Adjusted Diluted earnings per share increased 19% to $0.38
- Diluted earnings per share increased 18% to $0.33
- Closed sales decreased 0.2% to $48.5 million

Commenting on the results, Richard J. Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am pleased with the second quarter results which demonstrate the strength of our well-balanced business. During the second quarter, total revenue grew 11%, driven by continued solid recurring revenue from new sales, the acquisitions we made during fiscal 2015, and healthy event-driven activity. The second quarter results keep us firmly on track to achieve our full year guidance and our three-year objectives.”

Mr. Daly added, “We also delivered strong sales in the second quarter which included the signing of Barclays for Europe and Asia to the Accenture Post Trade Processing platform. Our sales pipeline remains robust and keeps us well positioned to achieve our closed sales guidance for the full year. Given our solid results, our 98% revenue retention, and our continuing sales momentum, I remain highly confident in Broadridge’s ability to achieve our long term objectives.”

Financial Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased 11% to $639 million, compared to $575 million for the prior year period. The $64 million increase was driven by (i) higher recurring fee revenues of $29 million, or 8%, (ii) higher distribution revenues of $26 million, or 15%, and (iii) higher event-driven fee revenues of $19 million, or 52%. The positive contribution from recurring fee revenues reflected gains from acquisitions (5pts) and Net New Business (4pts), partially offset by negative internal growth (-1pt). The higher distribution revenues of $26 million includes $12 million from acquisitions. The Company defines Net New Business as recurring revenue from closed sales less recurring revenue from client losses.
Operating income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $70 million, an increase of $11 million, or 19%, compared to $59 million for the prior year period. The increase is due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating

1



expenses including $2 million of increased amortization from acquired intangibles. Operating income margins increased to 11.0% compared to 10.3% for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted operating income margins increased to 12.5% compared to 11.6% for the comparable prior year period.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, Net earnings increased 16% to $40 million, compared to $35 million for the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenues. Adjusted Net earnings increased 16% to $46 million compared to $40 million for the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.33 per share compared to $0.28 per share for the same period last year. Adjusted Diluted earnings per share were $0.38 compared to $0.32 per share for the same period last year. Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs, net of taxes, decreased Diluted earnings per share by $0.05 and $0.04 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In addition, during the second quarter, the Company repurchased 0.1 million shares of Broadridge common stock at an average price of $56.65 per share.

Analysis of Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016
Investor Communication Solutions
Investor Communication Solutions segment Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $68 million, or 17%, to $472 million compared to $404 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. The increase was attributable to higher recurring fee revenues which contributed $23 million, higher event-driven fee revenues which contributed $19 million and higher distribution revenues which contributed $26 million. Higher recurring fee revenues of 12% were driven by: (i) contributions from our recent acquisitions (8pts); and (ii) Net New Business primarily driven by increases in revenues from closed sales (5pts); which were partially offset by (iii) negative internal growth as a result of lower fund fulfillment revenues (-1pt). Higher event-driven fee revenues were the result of increased mutual fund proxy and corporate actions communications activity.
Global Technology and Operations
Global Technology and Operations segment Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $6 million, or 3%, to $180 million compared to $174 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to: (i) higher Net New Business primarily driven by increases in revenues from closed sales (3pts) and (ii) contributions from a recent acquisition (1pt), partially offset by (iii) negative internal growth (-1pt) due to contract renewals and lower trade activity levels partially offset by increased non-trade activity levels.
Other
Pre-tax loss decreased by $4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The decreased loss was mainly due to lower compensation expenses and lower acquisition related expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Financial Results for the Six Months ended December 31, 2015
Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2015 increased 9% to $1,234 million compared to $1,130 million for the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily driven by: (i) higher recurring fee revenues of $63 million, or 9%, (ii) higher distribution revenues of $38 million, or 11%, and (iii) higher event-driven fee revenues of $23 million, or 31%. The higher recurring fee revenues of $63 million reflected contributions from acquisitions (4pts) and gains from Net New Business (4pts). The higher distribution revenues of $38 million include $19 million from acquisitions.
Operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $129 million, an increase of $13 million, or 11%, compared to $116 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase is due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses including $5 million of increased amortization from acquired intangibles. Operating income margins increased to 10.5% compared to 10.3% for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted operating income margins increased to 12.0% compared to 11.5% for the comparable prior year period.
For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Net earnings increased 10% to $74 million compared to $67 million for the comparable period last year, primarily due to higher revenues. Adjusted Net earnings were $86 million compared to $77 million for the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.61 per share compared to $0.54 per share for the comparable period last year. Adjusted Diluted earnings per share were $0.71 compared to $0.62 per share for the comparable period last year. Acquisition

Amortization and Other Costs, net of taxes, decreased Diluted earnings per share by $0.10 and $0.08 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Effective tax rate of ~34.8%

Free cash flows in the range of $350 million to $400 million
Closed sales in the range of $120 million to $160 million
Our guidance does not take into consideration the effect of any future acquisitions, additional debt or share repurchases.
Explanation of the Company’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's results in this press release are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") except where otherwise noted. In certain circumstances, results have been presented on an adjusted basis and are not generally accepted accounting principles measures (“Non-GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results.
With regard to statements in this press release that include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, the adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings measures are 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 performance. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs which represent the amortization charges associated with intangible asset values as well as other deal costs associated with the Company’s acquisition activities.

The Adjusted Operating income margin and Adjusted Diluted earnings per share fiscal year 2016 guidance provided above is adjusted to exclude the projected impact of Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs.

We provide information on our Free cash flows because we believe this helps investors understand the amount of cash available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investments. Free cash flows is a Non-GAAP measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, software purchases and capitalized internal use software.

The Company believes Non-GAAP financial information helps investors understand the effect of these items on our reported results and provides a better representation of our operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures are indicators that management uses to provide additional meaningful comparisons between our current results and prior reported results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods.

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.

2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation 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. Statements that are not historical in nature, and which may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “we believe,” could be” and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. In particular, information referred to as “Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Guidance” or our three-year performance objectives and outlook are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. These risks and uncertainties include those risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Report”), as they may be updated in any future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed in the 2015 Annual Report. These risks include: the success of Broadridge in retaining and selling additional services to its existing clients and in obtaining new clients; Broadridge’s reliance on a relatively small number of clients, the continued financial health of those clients, and the continued use by such clients of Broadridge’s services with favorable pricing terms; changes in laws and regulations affecting Broadridge’s clients or the services provided by Broadridge; declines in participation and activity in the securities markets; any material breach of Broadridge security affecting its clients’ customer information; the failure of Broadridge’s outsourced data center services provider to provide the anticipated levels of service; a disaster or other significant slowdown or failure of Broadridge’s systems or error in the performance of Broadridge’s services; overall market and economic conditions and their impact on the securities markets; Broadridge’s failure to keep pace with changes in technology and demands of its clients; Broadridge’s ability to attract and retain key personnel; the impact of new acquisitions and divestitures; and competitive conditions. Broadridge disclaims any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.


 
3 Explanation and Reconciliation of the Company’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company's results in this presentation are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) except where otherwise noted. In certain circumstances, results have been presented on an adjusted basis and are not generally accepted accounting principles measures (“Non-GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results. With regard to statements in this presentation that include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, the adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings measures are 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 performance. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs which represent the amortization charges associated with intangible asset values as well as other deal costs associated with the Company’s acquisition activities. The Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted Operating income margin and Adjusted Diluted earnings per share fiscal year 2016 guidance provided in this presentation is adjusted to exclude the projected impact of Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs. We also provide information on our Free cash flows because we believe this helps investors understand the amount of cash available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investments. Free cash flows is a Non-GAAP measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, software purchases and capitalized internal use software. The Company believes Non-GAAP financial information helps investors understand the effect of these items on our reported results and provides a better representation of our operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures are indicators that management uses to provide additional meaningful comparisons between our current results and prior reported results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods. Reconciliations of such Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in the attached Appendix.
