Broadridge Announces Integrated Infrastructure for Tokenized SecuritiesMay 12, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Building on its market-leading Digital Ledger Repo platform, Broadridge delivers the infrastructure that institutional firms need to scale digital and traditional assets on a single platformNEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), a global fintech leader, today announced a comprehensive expansion of its tokenization capabilities, providing institutional firms the infrastructure to operate across tokenized and traditional securities on a single, integrated platform.Broadridge supports institutional trading at scale by reducing operational complexity from execution to settlement for more than $15 trillion in assets per day. Today's announcement marks the extension of Broadridge's market-leading multi-asset capabilities to support the trading of tokenized assets across its order, execution, and post-trade infrastructure."Broadridge is already a leader in tokenization with our Distributed Ledger Repo solution platform, which tokenizes more than $365 billion every day," said Frank Troise, President of Broadridge's Global Capital Markets business. "Now, we're delivering a suite of capabilities that support the trading of tokenized securities across our infrastructure with the established systems, controls, and workflows institutional investors rely on every day. Bringing together digital innovation with proven trading, connectivity, and post-trade infrastructure will enable our clients to unlock liquidity and reduce friction across their operations while maintaining the scale, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance required in global capital markets."As demand for tokenized securities grows, the core requirements of institutional trading remain the same - standardized protocols for issuance, transfer, settlement, and asset servicing as well as interoperability across firms and venues. Broadridge is powering that evolution by enhancing its key capabilities to support a tokenized market structure that delivers the reliability, consistency, and operational integrity expected in today's capital markets.A Single Tokenization Engine Across Asset Classes
To make this happen, Broadridge has extended the core tokenization engine behind its Distributed Ledger Repo solution, built for regulated institutional settlement and proven in Fixed Income, to also support equities, funds, alts, and money market instruments within a single, consistent framework. Institutions can now operate with one set of tokenization rails, one governance standard, and one operational model across their entire tokenized asset portfolio.Post-Trade Precision for a Tokenized Multi-Asset World
Broadridge's post-trade infrastructure now supports tokenized and traditional assets within the same processing ecosystem and control framework. Institutions can process tokenized securities, fractionalized assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside conventional instruments using consistent workflows, controls, reconciliation, and reporting standards. By building on existing post-trade infrastructure, Broadridge is enabling clients to integrate tokenized assets with greater speed, lower cost, and less operational complexity.Direct Connectivity to Major Blockchain Networks
Broadridge connects directly to major public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks (e.g. Canton, ETH, EVM compatible), giving institutions a single integration point across the distributed infrastructure landscape. This allows operations teams to manage business workflow, oversight, and risk through familiar controls, while Broadridge manages the underlying connectivity complexity required to support a multi-network market environment. Institutional-Grade Order Routing and Connectivity
Broadridge's CQG and NYFIX capabilities help firms incorporate crypto and tokenized asset trading into existing workflows by combining front-end trading access, intelligent order routing, and connectivity across a broad execution ecosystem. Through our existing capabilities, Broadridge provides connectivity to leading crypto exchanges and prediction markets that support multi-asset trading, while NYFIX extends institutional-grade order routing and connectivity through standardized messaging. With millions of trades routed each day, Broadridge brings the scale, resilience, and market reach institutions need to incorporate tokenized assets into existing trading operations with confidence.End-to-End Corporate Actions and Governance — Across Every Model
Broadridge delivers the full corporate actions and governance lifecycle across tokenized and traditional securities on a single platform, under a single governance standard. Dividend processing, mandatory and voluntary corporate actions, proxy voting, and on-chain governance for tokenized equities all flow through Broadridge's existing infrastructure. Whether assets sit in traditional custodial accounts, digital wallets, or on-chain, investors receive consistent entitlements, consistent disclosure, and consistent voting access.About Broadridge's Tokenization Solutions
Broadridge enables on-chain proxy voting and governance, digital asset infrastructure including post trade, wallets and custody, and the scaling of digital asset capabilities across multiple asset classes. Through these innovations, Broadridge is helping financial institutions unlock the next era of digital asset investing.Broadridge's Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) solution is the world's largest institutional platform for settling tokenized real assets, tokenizing approximately over $365 billion a day. As tokenization gains momentum across financial services, Broadridge is meeting the complexity of operating across traditional and digital ecosystems with established scale, critical market knowledge, and technological expertise.About Broadridge

In certain circumstances, results have been presented that are not generally accepted accounting principles measures ("Non-GAAP"). These Non-GAAP measures are Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted Operating income margin, Adjusted Net earnings, Adjusted earnings per share, Free cash flow, and Recurring revenue growth constant currency. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results.The Company believes our Non-GAAP financial measures help investors understand how management plans, measures and evaluates the Company's business performance. Management believes that Non-GAAP measures provide consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of the Company's operating results and trends by providing an additional basis for comparison. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate our ongoing operations, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these Non-GAAP financial measures in managing our business, the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors incorporates Non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process for determining management compensation.Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per ShareThese Non-GAAP measures are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provides insight regarding our ongoing operating performance. Depending on the period presented, these adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain of the following items: (i) Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, which represent non-cash amortization expenses associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (ii) Acquisition and Integration Costs, which represent certain transaction and integration costs associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (iii) Restructuring and Other Related Costs, which represent costs associated with the Company's Corporate Restructuring Initiative to exit and/or realign some of our businesses, streamline the Company's management structure, reallocate work to lower cost locations, and reduce headcount in deprioritized areas, in addition to other restructuring activities. (iv) Gains or Losses on Digital Assets, which represents the mark to market gain or loss recorded to remeasure the Company's digital asset holdings in the form of Canton Coins to fair market value, in addition to the realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with the Company's contribution of Canton Coins to Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc. and the associated mark to market gain or loss recorded to remeasure the previously held Digital Asset Loan Receivable and Warrants to fair market value.We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Restructuring and Other Related Costs, and Gains or Losses on Digital Assets from our Adjusted Operating income (as applicable) and other adjusted earnings measures because excluding such information provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business and enhances comparability across fiscal reporting periods, as these items are not reflective of our underlying operations or performance.We also exclude the impact of Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, as these non-cash amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of individual acquisitions and do not factor into the Company's capital allocation decisions, management compensation metrics or multi-year objectives. Furthermore, management believes that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Although we exclude Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property from our adjusted earnings measures, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that these intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.Free cash flowIn addition to the Non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, we provide Free cash flow information because we consider Free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated that could be used for dividends, share repurchases, strategic acquisitions, other investments, as well as debt servicing. Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less Capital expenditures as well as Software purchases and capitalized internal use software.Recurring revenue growth constant currencyAs a multi-national company, we are subject to variability of our reported U.S. dollar results due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The exclusion of the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth, or what we refer to as amounts expressed "on a constant currency basis," is a Non-GAAP measure. We believe that excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth provides additional information that enables enhanced comparison to prior periods. Changes in Recurring revenue growth expressed on a constant currency basis are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the comparative year, rather than at the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year.Forward-Looking Statements This press release and other written or oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Broadridge may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

? (a) Refer to the "Results of Operations" section of Broadridge's Form 10-Q for a description of Closed sales and its calculation.
(b) Position Growth is comprised of "equity position growth" and "mutual fund/ETF position growth." Equity position growth measures the estimated annual change in positions eligible for equity proxy materials. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company began presenting information on "equity revenue position growth". Equity revenue position growth excludes small or fractional equity positions for which the Company does not recognize revenue ("non-revenue positions"). Prior-year period comparative information for this metric is not available. Mutual fund/ETF position growth measures the estimated change in mutual fund and exchange traded fund positions eligible for interim communications. These metrics are calculated from equity proxy and mutual fund/ETF position data reported to Broadridge for the same issuers or funds in both the current and prior year periods.
(c) Represents the estimated change in daily average trade volumes for clients whose contracts are linked to trade volumes and who were on Broadridge's trading platforms in both the current and prior year periods.

The Best-Performing Fund Brands in Europe and Globally According to the 2026 Broadridge Fund Brand 50 ReportMarch 31, 2026 3:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
BlackRock retains top position in Broadridge's Fund Brand 50 global asset manager rankings, significantly increasing its total brand scoreLONDON, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest edition of Broadridge's Fund Brand 50 (FB50), an annual research study by global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), was released today, highlighting the world's best-performing third-party asset management brands. The study reveals a shifting brand landscape as asset managers jockey for position amid geopolitical tensions, market volatility, and intense fund selector scrutiny. Managers are enhancing their brand by offering clients access to high-growth markets such as private equity and private debt via strategic partnerships or through targeted acquisitions. Another critical trend that continues to shape the competitor environment, and the brand ranking, is investor appetite for passive and active ETFs. Innovative funds are highly prized in these dynamic growth areas."JPMorgan AM no longer poses a significant threat to BlackRock as its total brand score has dropped 48 points after surging 755 points in 2024," notes Barbara Wall, Broadridge's EMEA Director of Data & Analytics. "BlackRock emerges top in four brand attributes including 'Expert in what they do' and 'Solidity.' The US leader is also the foremost recognised brand in eight out of the ten European markets covered. However, JPMorgan narrowly leads BlackRock in Germany, while Amundi moves into top position in France."The independent study, now in its 15th year, is powered by insights from Broadridge's Global Fund Buyer Focus Intelligence— a comprehensive, continuously updated intelligence and analytics dataset capturing fund selector preferences, behaviours, and market trends across global markets. FB50 measures and ranks asset managers' relative brand attractiveness based on fund selector perceptions: considering 10 brand attributes to reveal the top fund brands in Europe, APAC and the US. This is the latest study from Broadridge's Data and Analytics business and highlights the depth and breadth of the firm's global market insights.Top-10 European Asset Management BrandsRankFund GroupChange1BlackRock02JPMorgan AM03Fidelity04Amundi+15Pictet-16iShares07Vanguard08Schroders+19Robeco-110UBS+1Key insightsAmundi upsets the established order by replacing Pictet in fourth position (a post held by Pictet since 2021). It was also a productive year for Schroders and UBS – both move up a rung into eighth and tenth place, respectively. While Schroders' top attribute is 'Stability of investment management team', the group is also valued for its extensive product range and expanding private markets offerings, including liquid alternatives. Home bias might have been a factor in the rise of UBS, with Swiss selectors remarking that their domestic clients are more at home with a provider which, like UBS, is a well-known local brand. UBS's top attribute is 'Local Knowledge.'Fidelity remains in third place scoring highly for 'Keeping best informed.' Selectors also like this provider for its consistency, sheer professionalism and the great capacity that it has for fundamental analysis. Passive powerhouses iShares and Vanguard retain their top-10 slots in sixth and seventh place, respectively. Both groups are valued for their solidity and core passive fund ranges.Social responsibility may not be top of mind for many providers in the current market climate, but it is noteworthy that some of the biggest asset management brands in Europe have lost institutional mandates due to a perceived reduction in their focus on ESG issues. At the retail level, fund selectors view promoters' sustainability credentials as relevant, though increasingly less so amid mixed performance, closures and mergers, and regulatory uncertainty. Active ETFs were a hot topic in 2025, and, while AUM remains low, flow momentum is building. Establishing a distinctive and authoritative message will be critical for building brand recognition in what is a highly concentrated space. As the sector matures, selectors are increasingly looking for high conviction active ETFs (many of which are thematic) distinguishable from the more widespread index enhanced strategies.Valued attributesWhile the top-five most important attributes in Europe are ostensibly unchanged from the previous year, with 'Appealing investment strategy' retaining top position, the precise ranking is rather more nuanced, with multiple attributes tying for second and fourth place. This serves to underscore the importance for asset managers of being seen to offer both fund selectors and investors alike the whole package.Increasingly, asset managers are being asked to provide continuous, high-quality, and transparent market updates to navigate an investment landscape defined by geopolitical uncertainty, elevated valuations, and choppy markets. While size can enable a provider to leverage higher communication budgets to great effect, selectors want targeted communication that is easy to understand and in more engaging formats.Additional findings from this year's study include:Traditional active equity managers continue to face an uphill struggle as ETF providers expand their market share. However, there are notable successes among independent managers with selectors valuing certain groups for their smaller size, longevity, low staff turnover and niche product sets.It was a banner year for fixed income, and this was reflected in flows and brand perception. This is one area of traditional active management where bond providers were able to shine. Active flexible strategies and short-term fixed income exposure were popular with fund selectors.One of the year's most significant thematic trends in equity markets has been European defence. Two providers that have made significant gains in the top FB50 brand ranking – WisdomTree and VanEck – have made a notable impression here and in other popular thematic ETF strategies. Selectors want to see further product innovation in areas such as cryptocurrency and AI.A webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, 14 April 2026 at 2:00pm BST | 9:00am EST | 9:00pm CST to reveal the top asset management brands in each region. Registration is available to all https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5270343/9C55A720DB344CF0E2D572C76AB46728About the reportBroadridge Fund Brand 50 is an annual study derived from Broadridge's Global Fund Buyer Focus Intelligence, which equips asset managers with critical analytics on their fund selector preferences, brand tracking, and quality scores. The analytics are driven by intensive interviews with more than 1,300 of the most significant fund selectors in Europe, APAC, and the US.

GenAI Delivering Now, Tokenization Is Next: Financial Services Enters Period of Accelerating Transformation, Landmark Broadridge Study FindsFebruary 25, 2026 2:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With GenAI deployment delivering measurable business results, financial services firms are doubling down on technology transformation and taking aim at the tokenization of market infrastructure.
According to the sixth annual 2026 Digital Transformation & Next-Gen Technology Study from global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), leading financial services firms are moving beyond GenAI experimentation toward scaled execution, using agentic AI to drive immediate productivity gains while investing in distributed ledger and blockchain infrastructure that could fundamentally reshape financial markets.The global study, based on a survey of more than 900 financial services technology and operations leaders across wealth management, capital markets, and asset management, finds the industry at a pivotal moment: AI is becoming foundational to day-to-day operations, while tokenization represents the next wave of market evolution."AI proved the industry can modernize at speed," said Germán Soto Sanchez, Chief Product and Strategy Officer. "Tokenization is the next leap forward that will re-architect markets. Its clear financial services firms see tokenization is a long-term structural evolution to financial market infrastructure that delivers efficiency, transparency, and liquidity."AI Moves from Pilots to ProductionAI adoption has accelerated dramatically over the past year. Eighty percent of firms report using generative or predictive AI in operations, up from 31% last year, reflecting a rapid move from pilot programs to enterprise deployment. AI is also viewed as delivering the greatest business impact among next-generation technologies, surpassing cloud. As confidence in returns grows, 72% of firms report making moderate to large GenAI investments, while concern about GenAI ROI has fallen to 33%, down from 42% a year ago.That shift is translating into results: 27% of firms report measurable business benefits from GenAI, a 13-point increase year over year, underscoring AI's growing impact on productivity and operational efficiency.As generative AI matures, firms are beginning to deploy agentic AI—more autonomous systems capable of executing tasks and orchestrating workflows with limited human intervention. While still early, 26% of firms report current use of agentic AI, with more than half of those deployments already beyond pilot phases. Adoption is most advanced among large institutions, where nearly one-third of firms managing more than $250 billion in assets report active use.Tokenization Approaches an Inflection PointAs AI becomes embedded in operating models, firms are turning their attention to longer-term structural change, reimagining how assets are issued, traded, and settled through tokenization.A majority of firms increasingly view tokenization as a structural evolution of market infrastructure rather than a near-term replacement for existing systems. While near-term adoption remains measured, confidence in blockchain and distributed ledger technology continues to rise with 53% of firms believing DLT will have a dramatic effect on the way assets are settled—underscoring growing conviction that next-generation infrastructure will reshape post-trade operations and core market infrastructure.That conviction is increasingly translating into capital commitments. More than half (54%) of firms report making moderate to large investments in tokenization and digital asset infrastructure, signaling that the industry is moving beyond exploration toward scaled buildout.Market participants expect a significant portion of major asset classes, including equities, mutual funds, and alternatives, to be tokenized within the next four to five years—with its perceived strategic importance projected to rise sharply over the next five years. Seventy percent of firms say external partnerships will be critical to capturing value as tokenized market infrastructure develops, signaling the need for ecosystem collaboration as standards and interoperability frameworks mature.While firms cite benefits including enhanced liquidity, improved operational efficiency and faster settlement, they also acknowledge risks related to regulatory uncertainty, interoperability challenges, cybersecurity, and market structure fragmentation. The study found that 64% of firms cite cybersecurity risks associated with tokenization and 55% point to increased valuation risk. Notably, many firms believe that forthcoming digital asset regulations will ultimately have a positive impact on adoption by providing greater clarity and market stability.Execution, Not Strategy, Is the BottleneckAcross both AI and tokenization initiatives, the primary barriers to progress lie in firms' ability to execute.Eighty-four percent of firms emphasize the importance of integrated platforms, and 43% expect to rebuild core systems to support AI-driven operating models.At the same time, talent gaps are becoming more acute: 37% of firms cite lack of skilled talent as a barrier to agentic AI adoption, reflecting rising demand for advanced technical and data capabilities. Regarding GenAI, 38% of firms said lack of skilled talent is their biggest barrier to adoption of GenAI, up from 28% in 2025. When asked about AI overall, 65% of firms say they have no formal mandate or incentives in place to use AI, and 61% say AI training is encouraged, but there are no formal targets in placeAn Industry Embarking on Structural Change Taken together, the findings point to an industry transitioning from digital experimentation to operational transformation. AI is delivering measurable impact today. Tokenization represents the next structural shift in how financial markets function.The firms that succeed will be those that pair ambition with disciplined execution—modernizing core infrastructure while building the capabilities required to operate in increasingly digitized, interoperable markets.MethodologyBroadridge commissioned Phronesis Partners to conduct this survey.

AI-Driven Filings, Opt-In Momentum, And More Than $4B in Recoveries Reshape Global Securities Class Actions, Broadridge Report FindsFebruary 19, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global securities class action litigation delivered more than $4 billion in investor recoveries in 2025, according to the seventh Global Class Action Annual Report, from global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR). While modestly lower than 2024's $5.2 billion total, settlement remained elevated amid volatile markets and increasingly complex cross-border frameworks.
The report finds that 2025 marked a turning point, with surging AI-related litigation, growing momentum in opt-in and collective actions, expanding ESG focused claims, and a moderation in financial antitrust activity — all signaling a rapidly evolving recovery landscape for institutional investors."Class action participation is no longer passive — it's operational," said Christi Cannon, Vice President and General Manager of Global Class Actions at Broadridge. "Cases move faster, span more jurisdictions, and demand greater precision. Differences in legal systems, filing requirements, and settlement mechanics leave little room for error. Without the right infrastructure, investors risk missing recoveries altogether. That's why institutions are increasingly relying on Broadridge to manage complexity and protect outcomes. Broadridge's Global Class Action Services seamlessly equips its clients with tools to streamline participation and maximize global recoveries."Report Highlights: Mega Settlements Remain High: Nine mega settlements exceeded $100 million, just one short from the record set in 2024.Antitrust Cases Stalled: Financial antitrust activity moderated, with only four settlements totaling $179 million following last year's record high of nine.U.S. Securities Filings Remain Near Recent Levels: Federal filings edged down to?205 cases in?2025, just?3% below the four–year rolling average, reflecting relative stability in enforcement activity.SPAC–Related Matters Drive Recoveries: Settlements tied to SPAC and merger transactions represented a disproportionate share of total recoveries, even as new case filings remained broader in scope.Key Class Action Trends in 2025Rising AI Litigation Reflects Disclosure Pressure: A growing wave of securities class actions centered on AI disclosures underscores investor expectations for greater specificity and consistency, keeping AI risk a focal point for regulators and the plaintiffs' bar.Growing Engagement in Opt-in Litigation. Interest in opt-in litigation rose, including among custodians seeking asset recovery support. In?2025, more than?100 collective redress claims were filed in?Europe and many more globally.Emphasis on ESG Investing and Shareholder Activism. ESG related litigation continued growing in 2025, reflecting accelerating ESG investment—projected to reach $30 trillion by 2030—and increasing use of class actions for governance and sustainability goals.Broker-Dealers Expand Institutional Support. 2025 continued a notable shift in broker-dealers offering end-to-end claim-filing and asset recovery services. This engagement helps overcome historically low participation rates among retail shareholders to maximize recoveries and enhance the overall investor experience.Top 10 Most Complex Cases of 2025
The annual report highlights the most complex class action settlements of 2025. These cases provide valuable insights on navigating the evolving class–action landscape, how to prepare for emerging opportunities, and practices to maximize asset recovery. According to the report, these 10 cases are:EQT Corporation Securities Litigation - $167,500,000Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. Securities Litigation - $138,750,000BHP Group Ltd.

In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these Non-GAAP financial measures in managing our business, the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors incorporates Non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process for determining management compensation.Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per ShareThese Non-GAAP measures are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provides insight regarding our ongoing operating performance. Depending on the period presented, these adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain of the following items: (i) Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, which represent non-cash amortization expenses associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (ii) Acquisition and Integration Costs, which represent certain transaction and integration costs associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (iii) Restructuring and Other Related Costs, which represent costs associated with the Company's Corporate Restructuring Initiative to exit and/or realign some of our businesses, streamline the Company's management structure, reallocate work to lower cost locations, and reduce headcount in deprioritized areas, in addition to other restructuring activities. (iv) Gains or Losses on Digital Assets, which represents the quarterly mark to market gain or loss recorded to remeasure the Company's digital asset holdings in the form of Canton Coins to fair market value, in addition to the realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with the Company's contribution of Canton Coins to the Canton Digital Asset Treasury.We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Restructuring and Other Related Costs, and Gains or Losses on Digital Assets from our Adjusted Operating income (as applicable) and other adjusted earnings measures because excluding such information provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business and enhances comparability across fiscal reporting periods, as these items are not reflective of our underlying operations or performance.We also exclude the impact of Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, as these non-cash amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of individual acquisitions and do not factor into the Company's capital allocation decisions, management compensation metrics or multi-year objectives. Furthermore, management believes that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Although we exclude Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property from our adjusted earnings measures, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that these intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.Free cash flowIn addition to the Non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, we provide Free cash flow information because we consider Free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated that could be used for dividends, share repurchases, strategic acquisitions, other investments, as well as debt servicing. Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less Capital expenditures as well as Software purchases and capitalized internal use software.Recurring revenue growth constant currencyAs a multi-national company, we are subject to variability of our reported U.S. dollar results due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The exclusion of the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth, or what we refer to as amounts expressed "on a constant currency basis," is a Non-GAAP measure. We believe that excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth provides additional information that enables enhanced comparison to prior periods. Changes in Recurring revenue growth expressed on a constant currency basis are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the comparative year, rather than at the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year.Forward-Looking Statements This press release and other written or oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Broadridge may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

(a) Refer to the "Results of Operations" section of Broadridge's Form 10-Q for a description of Closed sales and its calculation.(b) Position Growth is comprised of "equity position growth" and "mutual fund/ETF position growth." Equity position growth measures the estimated annual change in positions eligible for equity proxy materials. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company began presenting information on "equity revenue position growth". Equity revenue position growth excludes small or fractional equity positions for which the Company does not recognize revenue ("non-revenue positions"). Prior-year period comparative information for this metric is not available. Mutual fund/ETF position growth measures the estimated change in mutual fund and exchange traded fund positions eligible for interim communications. These metrics are calculated from equity proxy and mutual fund/ETF position data reported to Broadridge for the same issuers or funds in both the current and prior year periods.(c) Represents the estimated change in daily average trade volumes for clients whose contracts are linked to trade volumes and who were on Broadridge's trading platforms in both the current and prior year periods.

At the same time, over three-quarters (76%) of advisors agree that better technology tools would greatly improve new client acquisition, signaling that there is meaningful upside for firms to continue investing in modern, advisor-friendly capabilities and the enablement needed to help advisors fully leverage them as their practices grow and scale."As client expectations rise, advisors are looking for more connected technology and stronger education to support growth," said Chris Perry, President of Broadridge. "Broadridge works closely with advisors and firms to help modernize technology environments, improve efficiency, and support more seamless client experiences, all of which help advisors streamline their practices, attract and retain next-gen clients, and expand their product offerings to include asset classes like digital assets."The findings highlight a clear opportunity to further modernize and connect advisor technology, strengthen education around emerging asset classes, and deliver intuitive tools that help advisors grow their businesses while building deeper relationships with next-generation investors.Platform priorities shape advisor views on growth support and enablementWhen asked where broker-dealers should prioritize investments to improve technology capabilities, advisors point to a short list of practical, day-to-day functions that directly affect efficiency and client experience: account opening and client onboarding (22%), paperwork automation (15%), client-facing tools (15%), and financial planning tools (10%).Beyond technology, advisors say more training and better awareness of available tools would help. More than eight in ten advisors (82%) say that better training and greater awareness of available technology would help them more effectively drive business growth, underscoring the importance of not only modern tools, but also education and enablement.AI as a core tool for client engagementAdoption of generative AI is already widespread among advisors, with 51% reporting current use across at least one area of their business. Usage is highest among younger advisors, with 67% under age 45 leveraging AI tools, compared to 43% of advisors 65 and over. Adoption is also higher among larger practices, with 55% of advisors at firms managing $50 million or more in assets reporting AI use, compared with 43% of smaller practices (managing less than $50 million in assets).On average, advisors using AI report applying it in two areas: client engagement (29%) and marketing (21%). These findings underscore AI's growing role in improving efficiency, scaling engagement, and supporting advisor growth."Client expectations are rising as investors adopt a digital-first mindset and have access to more information about financial products and investment options than ever before," said Dale Brown, President & CEO of FSI. "Across the independent financial services industry, momentum is building around the adoption of AI and other emerging technologies to increase efficiency and elevate the client experience. Innovative digital tools create a powerful opportunity to enhance client services, strengthen advisor-client relationships and support sustainable growth, while helping independent advisors and firms build lasting relationships with the next generation of investors."Growing investor demand for specialty asset classes outpaces advisor confidenceThe study shows a clear increase in investor interest across non-traditional investment categories, yet very few advisors feel very confident advising on specialty investment products. More than half of advisors (53%) report growing client interest in cryptocurrency, despite ranking cryptocurrency as their lowest priority and nearly half (48%) reporting that they need to build their knowledge on the asset class.Similarly, 31% of advisors report increased client demand for alternatives; however, confidence is higher as 77% of advisors feel confident in their ability to advise clients on these investments.In addition to education, advisors also report that technology is a key enabler of their ability to manage alternative investments on behalf of clients. Thirty-eight percent of advisors note that technology has improved tracking, performance, and analytics monitoring, and 37% cite that technology overall has increased their access to alternative investment opportunities.MethodologyThis survey was a joint initiative between Broadridge and FSI, and conducted by 8 Acre Perspective Corp.
