Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events, trends, contingencies, 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," 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.
