Fourth Quarter 2025 Revenue | ||
 | Fourth quarter revenue increased 9%, driven by strong growth in all divisions. Revenue from subscription products increased 8%. (1) Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2024 and the fourth quarter 2025 includes the impact of inter-segment eliminations of $48M and $53M, respectively. | |||||||
Market Intelligence revenue increased 7%, driven by strong organic subscription revenue growth and the acquisition of With Intelligence in November 2025, partly offset by slower growth in volume-driven products and year-over-year declines in non-subscription revenue. Ratings revenue increased 12%, driven by double-digit transaction and non-transaction revenue growth. Transaction revenue growth was driven by a 28% increase in Billed Issuance. Energy revenue increased 6% primarily due to strong subscription and usage-based revenue growth, partly offset by declines in consulting and conference revenue, as well as a negative impact related to government sanctions on select customers. Mobility revenue increased by 8% driven by double-digit growth in Dealer revenue and Financial & Other revenue, partially offset by slower growth in Manufacturing. Indices revenue increased 14%, largely driven by growth in asset-linked fees, which benefited from higher AUM and inflows, as well as strength in Exchange-Traded Derivatives and Data & Custom Subscriptions revenue growth.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Profit, Expense, and Operating Margin | ||
Note: All presentations of revenue above refer to reported revenue. Adjusted financials refer to non-GAAP adjusted metrics in all periods.The Company’s fourth quarter reported operating profit margin increased approximately 6 percentage points to 42.7%, primarily due to the increase in GAAP revenue. Adjusted operating profit margin increased 60 basis points to 47.3%, primarily due to profit growth in our Ratings and Indices divisions. GAAP operating margin also benefitted from a gain on divestiture, while adjusted operating margin improvement was slightly offset by the timing of investment expense and the acquisition of With Intelligence.

In addition to the above, the Company expects adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items, to grow mid-single digits year over year.
Non-GAAP adjusted guidance excludes merger expenses and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.
The Company is not providing 2026 GAAP guidance at this time, other than reported revenue growth and capital expenditures. Given the inherent uncertainty around the timing of the spin of the Company’s Mobility division, and other related factors, management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Guidance assumes contributions from Mobility for the full year and excludes any impact from anticipated stranded costs. The Company expects to update adjusted guidance to exclude Mobility and institute GAAP guidance upon completion of the spin.
Beginning with January 2026 data, the Company expects to release its monthly billed issuance data and exchange-traded derivatives data on the 15th of each month (or the next business day thereafter), one month in arrears.
Capital Return: For the full-year 2026, the Company maintains its target of returning 85% or more of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.97, marking the 53rd consecutive year of dividend increases for the Company.

Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company also refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: organic constant currency revenue; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted EPS; adjusted operating profit and margin; adjusted expenses; adjusted corporate unallocated expense; adjusted deal-related amortization; adjusted other (income) expense, net; adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rate; adjusted equity in income on unconsolidated subsidiaries; and free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items.
The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP on Exhibits 5 and 7. The Company is 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 the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.
The Company's non-GAAP measures include adjustments that reflect how management views our businesses. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that, in the case of non-GAAP financial measures other than free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items, enables investors to better compare the Company's performance across periods, and management also uses these measures internally to assess the operating performance of its business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes and to decide how to allocate resources. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management and that such measures are useful in evaluating the cash available to us to prepay debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and repurchase stock. However, investors should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports.
Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future events, trends, contingencies or results, appear at various places in this press release and use words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “strategy,” “target” and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and “would.” For example, management may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the outcome of contingencies; future actions by regulators; changes in the Company’s business strategies and methods of generating revenue; the development and performance of the Company’s services and products; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; the Company’s effective tax rates; the Company’s cost structure, dividend policy, cash flows or liquidity; and the anticipated separation of S&P Global Mobility (“Mobility”) into a standalone public company.

The factors noted above are not exhaustive. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made.
