Company to Hold Investor Day on December 1, 2022 in New York City

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today reported second quarter 2022 results with reported revenue of $2.99 billion, an increase of 42% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit businesses, partially offset by declines in Ratings revenue. Continued execution drove growth across five of the Company's six divisions, while Ratings transaction revenue continues to be negatively impacted by a sharp year-over-year reduction in debt issuance.  GAAP net income increased 22% to $972 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 13% to $2.86 primarily due to the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the merger with IHS Markit. The Company also announced it will be holding an Investor Day on December 1, 2022 in New York City. The event will be in-person by invitation, and webcast publicly.

"As we pass the first 100 days as a combined company, we are very pleased with the progress we've made on integration," said Douglas L. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of S&P Global. "We continue to focus on disciplined execution, evidenced by the fact that we delivered growth in five of our six divisions, and are ahead of schedule on cost and revenue synergies despite a challenging macro environment."

Adjusted revenue decreased 5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue from the second quarter of 2021, or 3% on a constant currency basis. Adjusted net income declined 11% to $955 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 7.0% to $2.81 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share primarily due to a 5% decrease in pro forma fully diluted shares outstanding. Currency did not have a material impact on adjusted EPS. The largest non-core adjustments to earnings in the second quarter of 2022 were for gains on the sale of divested businesses and costs related to the merger with IHS Markit.

Important note on the presentation of financial results and guidance: GAAP financials and guidance are presented to reflect the close of the merger with IHS Markit, and the inclusion of its financial results, as of March 1, 2022. Adjusted financial information, including adjustments to pro forma GAAP financial information and guidance are presented on a pro forma basis as if the merger had closed on January 1, 2021, to facilitate year-over-year comparisons.  Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted financials also exclude the contribution of divested businesses from all presented periods.

Profit Margin: The Company's reported operating profit margin decreased 530 basis points to 49.5% due to the inclusion of IHS Markit and costs associated with the merger.  Adjusted operating profit margin decreased 280 basis points to 47.2% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin primarily due to a decline in Ratings transaction revenue, as well as increases in technology and compensation expense. Margin impact was partially offset by lower incentive expenses and cost synergies. The Company continues to expect expense growth (ex-synergies) to moderate through the rest of the year.

Return of Capital:  During the second quarter, the combined Company returned $1.8 billion to shareholders through a combination of $1.5 billion in the form of an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement and $286 million in cash dividends. Both the $1.5 billion ASR and the $ 7 billion ASR, launched in the first quarter, are part of the previously announced $12 billion ASR program, which the Company still expects to be completed by the end of the year. The two launched ASRs are anticipated to complete in early August and the Company expects to initiate a new $2.5 billion ASR program this month.

Market Intelligence:  Reported revenue increased 91% to $1.03 billion in the second quarter of 2022 driven primarily by the inclusion of IHS Markit revenue and increased 4% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 7% to $1.02 billion compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue with growth across all categories, led by double-digit growth in Credit & Risk Solutions.  Reported operating profit increased to $702 million from the prior year and by $505 million on a pro forma basis with operating profit margin improving 3,580 basis points to 68.1% due to gain on sale of LCD.  Adjusted operating profit increased 8% to $336 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin increased 40 basis points to 33.0% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin driven by strong revenue growth and the realization of merger-related cost synergies, partially offset by increases in compensation expense, cloud spend, and outside services.

Ratings:  Reported revenue decreased 26% to $796 million in the second quarter of 2022. Transaction revenue decreased 44% to $344 million. Transaction revenue was negatively impacted by a year-over-year decrease in debt issuance across all categories.  Non-transaction revenue decreased 1% to $452 million due primarily to lower Issuer Credit Rating revenue and unfavorable FX. Excluding FX, non-transaction revenue would have increased 2% year-over-year driven by growth at CRISIL.

Reported operating profit decreased 36% to $464 million from prior year and decreased 36% compared to pro forma operating profit. Operating profit margin decreased 950 basis points to 58.4% compared to the second quarter of 2021 and pro forma operating profit margin decreased 950 basis points to 58.3% on the combined impact of the decrease in transaction revenue partially offset by year-over-year declines in incentive compensation expense. Adjusted operating profit decreased 35% to $473 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit, and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 850 basis points to 59.5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin.

Commodity Insights:  Reported revenue increased 74% to $438 million compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the inclusion of IHS Markit, and increased 4% compared to pro forma revenue driven by Price Assessments, and strong growth in Advisory & Transactional Services, and Energy & Resources Data & Insights, offset by flat revenue growth in Upstream Data & Insight.  Adjusted revenue increased 4% to $427 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, driven by the same factors. Reported operating profit increased 1% to $141 million compared to the prior year and decreased 10% to $141 million compared to pro forma operating profit while operating profit margin decreased 2,360 basis points to 32.2% compared to prior primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit. Adjusted operating profit increased 3% to $188 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 40 basis points to 44.0% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict was the most significant headwind to revenue and profit margins in the quarter. Excluding that impact, adjusted revenue growth would have been 7% year-over-year, and the non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin would have improved more than 100 bps year-over-year.

Mobility: Reported revenue was $337 million in the second quarter of 2022 and increased 9% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 7% to $337 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue with growth driven by strength in Planning Solutions and Used Car offerings. Reported operating profit in the second quarter was $58 million and operating profit margin was 17.2%, and increased 41% compared to pro forma operating profit. Adjusted operating profit increased 9% to $141 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin increased 90 basis points to 41.9% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin. Planned increases in headcount and advertising expense were somewhat offset by a reduction in purchased data and office costs, and incentive compensation.

S&P Dow Jones Indices: S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC is a majority-owned subsidiary. The consolidated results are included in S&P Global's income statement and the portion related to the 27% non-controlling interest is removed in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

Reported revenue increased 22% to $339 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit and increased 12% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 12% to $338 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, driven by strong growth in exchange-traded derivatives, and Data & Custom Subscriptions, with growth partially tempered by slower growth in asset-linked fees due to market valuations.

Reported operating profit increased 37% to $270 million and increased 36% compared to pro forma operating profit. Operating profit margin decreased 880 basis points to 79.5%. Adjusted operating profit increased 16% to $243 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit. Adjusted operating profit margin improved 290 basis points to 71.9% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin, driven by strong revenue growth, partially offset by increased technology and T&E expense.  Operating profit attributable to the Company increased 37% to $198 million. Adjusted pro forma operating profit attributable to the Company increased 9% to $171 million.

Engineering Solutions: Reported revenue was $96 million in the second quarter of 2022 and increased 8% compared to pro forma revenue.  Adjusted revenue increased 3% to $96 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, with growth driven by strength in core subscription offerings and non-subscription products. Reported operating profit in the second quarter was $1 million and operating profit margin was 0.6%. Adjusted operating profit decreased 7% to $17 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 190 basis points to 17.5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin, with expense growth driven by investment in product development and increased royalties.

Corporate Unallocated Expense:  Reported Corporate Unallocated Expense of $165 million compares to $86 million of reported Corporate Unallocated Expense in the prior period, and $117 million pro forma Corporate Unallocated Expense. Adjusted Corporate Unallocated Expense was $22 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted unallocated expense of $36 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted pro forma Corporate Unallocated Expense declined from a year ago, caused by a combination of reduced incentive and fringe costs as well as the release of certain benefits accruals. 

Provision for Income Taxes:  The Company's effective tax rate (excluding taxes in relation to earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries) decreased to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 25.1% in the same period last year due to a post-merger change in the mix of income by jurisdiction. The adjusted effective tax rate (excluding taxes in relation to earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries) decreased to 21.7% compared to 24.1% in the same period last year due to a post-merger change in the mix of income by jurisdiction. The Company's effective tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the timing of discrete tax adjustments.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:  Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at the end of the second quarter were $3.6 billion. In the first six months of 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $676 million, cash provided by investing activities was $3,745 million, and cash used for financing activities was $7,268 million.  Free cash flow in the first six months of 2022 was $510 million, a decrease of $1,038 million compared to the same period in 2021 and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items was $1,625 million.

Outlook:  The Company is reintroducing both GAAP and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted guidance for 2022 (suspended on June 1, 2022) to reflect the results of the second quarter, as well as our most recent views on the macro-economic and geopolitical environment. 2022 reported revenue is expected to increase more than 30%.  GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in a range of $10.20 to $10.40.

The Company is providing non-GAAP adjusted guidance on a pro forma basis that excludes merger expenses, and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.  Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted guidance is provided to reflect expected financial results for the full year, as if the merger with IHS Markit (and associated divestitures) had been completed on January 1, 2021. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue is now expected to decline low to mid-single digits. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted EPS is expected in the range of $11.35 to $11.55. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items is expected in the range of $4.1 billion to $4.2 billion.

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"). Company financial results are also presented on an as-reported basis, and on a pro forma basis as if the merger had closed on January 1, 2021, for periods including fiscal year 2021, the three months ended June 30, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021; the pro forma basis agrees to the Company's previously filed unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information presented in accordance Article 11 of Regulation S-X. 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: adjusted revenue and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue; adjusted diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted net income and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted net income; adjusted operating profit and margin and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and margin; organic revenue; adjusted Corporate Unallocated expense and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted Corporate Unallocated expense; other income, net and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted other income, net; adjusted interest expense, net and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rates; adjusted income before taxes on income and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted income before taxes on income; adjusted non-GAAP pro forma diluted EPS guidance; free cash flow and non-GAAP pro forma 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, 6, 7 and 8. Reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items. The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available 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 non-GAAP pro forma 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 non-GAAP pro forma 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.
