Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FactSet Research Systems Inc. reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 outlook, including organic ASV growth of 5.0% to 6.5%, revenue of $2.600 billion to $2.625 billion, GAAP operating margin of 31.0% to 32.0% and adjusted operating margin of 34.75% to 35.25%. It also reaffirmed GAAP diluted EPS of $17.00 to $17.50 and adjusted diluted EPS of $19.25 to $19.65.

FactSet outlined medium-term targets through fiscal 2029: organic revenue CAGR of approximately 6%, adjusted operating margin of at least 36%, adjusted diluted EPS CAGR of approximately 10%, and average free cash flow conversion of more than 90% of adjusted net income. Fiscal 2027 adjusted margin and EPS guidance excludes $85 million to $97 million, or $2.15 to $2.25 per diluted share, for amortization of intangible assets and other discrete items, and does not include certain effects of non-recurring benefits or charges that may arise in fiscal 2027. FactSet said it cannot reconcile certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including the medium-term outlook, to comparable GAAP measures because required items are outside its control or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

Organic ASV growth financial
"Organic ASV growth of 5.0% to 6.5%"
Adjusted operating margin financial
"Adjusted operating margin of 34.75% to 35.25%"
Adjusted operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities, after removing unusual or one-time costs and income. It helps investors see the company's true profitability by providing a clearer picture, similar to removing unexpected expenses to understand the regular performance. This metric is useful for comparing companies or tracking performance over time, as it highlights consistent earning power.
Free cash flow conversion financial
"Free cash flow conversion of more than 90% of adjusted net income"
Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.
Adjusted diluted EPS financial
"Adjusted diluted EPS of $19.25 to $19.65"
Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.

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," the negative of those terms, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, outcomes, events, or actions and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors. 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. Any of these factors could cause results, performance, achievements, or activities 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 non-GAAP financial measures, including organic revenues, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and free cash flow conversion, defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. 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 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. Fiscal 2027 adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance exclude $85 million to $97 million, or $2.15 to $2.25 per diluted share, of amortization of intangible assets and other discrete items, and do not include certain effects of any non-recurring benefits or charges that may arise in fiscal 2027. We are not able to provide reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including the medium-term outlook included in this press release, 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.
