Broadridge Financial Solutions Shows Remarkable Growth in Q2 of Fiscal 2025

Broadridge Financial Solutions Reports Strong Q2 Results for Fiscal 2025

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, which ended on December 31, 2024. The results reveal a 9% increase in recurring revenues, marking a continuing trend of growth compared to the same period last year. The total revenues surged by 13% to reach approximately $1.589 billion, bolstered by both organic and acquisition-driven growth.

In terms of earnings, the diluted earnings per share (EPS) showed a remarkable increase of 103%, rising to $1.20. Adjusted EPS also experienced substantial growth, climbing by 70% to $1.56. This performance not only emphasizes Broadridge's ability to generate significant profits but also reflects robust execution of its strategic growth initiatives.

Tim Gokey, CEO of Broadridge, highlighted that the recurring revenue growth is a blend of 7% organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions, particularly noting the positive impact of their acquisition of Securities Industry Services (SIS). This acquisition has enriched Broadridge's offerings in wealth management, capital markets, and information technology solutions.

The impressive financial outcomes were primarily driven by heightened investor participation and an expanding sales backlog. Moreover, event-driven revenues skyrocketed by 126%, propelled by increased mutual fund communications, which doubled the revenue generated from those activities compared to the prior year.

In the distribution segment, revenues grew 7%, thanks to a postage rate increase, further supporting the overall revenue growth. Operating income saw a stunning rise of 69% to $211 million, with an operating margin improvement to 13.3%. Adjusted operating income also experienced similar growth, with margins increasing to 16.6%.

For the fiscal year 2025, Broadridge reaffirms its guidance, predicting that recurring revenue growth will range from 6% to 8%, with adjusted EPS expected to rise between 8% to 12%. Furthermore, the company anticipates closed sales in the range of $290 to $330 million.

Gokey pointed out that the company's trajectory positions them well to achieve their three-year growth objectives laid out during the Investor Day in December 2023.
