Key Points

Positve
  • Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc (BR) reported solid first-quarter results with a 4% growth in recurring revenue in constant currency, despite the impact of the E-Trade deconversion.
  • The company is executing its strategy effectively, driving product innovation, growing its sales pipeline, and achieving strong sales.
  • Broadridge is strengthening its business through targeted investments, including the acquisition of SIS, which is expected to enhance its Canadian business and wealth innovation capabilities.
  • The company raised its fiscal 2025 recurring revenue guidance to 6% to 8%, reflecting strong organic growth and the SIS acquisition.
  • Broadridge recorded a first-quarter record of $57 million in closed sales, indicating strong demand for its solutions and a robust sales pipeline.
Negative
  • Recurring revenue growth was partially offset by a 4% decline in wealth and investment management revenues due to the E-Trade deconversion.
  • Adjusted operating income decreased by 7%, impacted by lower event-driven revenues and the E-Trade deconversion.
  • The company's adjusted EPS remained at $1, with no increase in EPS guidance despite the top-line revenue raise, suggesting lower incremental margins.
  • Free cash flow was negative $158 million in Q1, a decline from the previous year, driven by increased cash taxes and severance payments.
  • The acquisition of SIS is expected to be slightly dilutive to Broadridge's margins and neutral to EPS in the first year.
