S&P Global Reports First Quarter Results, Announces Intended Separation of Mobility Division

New York, NY, April 29, 2025 – S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today reported first quarter results. This earnings release and supplemental materials are available at http://investor.spglobal.com/Quarterly-Earnings.
The Company reported first-quarter 2025 revenue of $3.777 billion, an increase of 8% compared to the first quarter of 2024. First quarter GAAP net income increased 10% to $1.090 billion and GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 12% to $3.54. Adjusted net income for the first quarter increased 7% to $1.344 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 9% to $4.37. Higher net income was driven primarily by strong growth in Ratings and Indices on both a GAAP and adjusted basis.
In a separate release today, the Company also announced its intent to separate its Mobility division into a standalone public company. The separation is expected to maximize shareholder value by simplifying S&P Global’s operations and allowing S&P Global to dedicate strategic and investment focus on its remaining four divisions. The Company considers all remaining divisions to be core to its long-term strategic vision. The separation also aims to create an independent, agile, and focused Mobility business that is well positioned to execute a profitable growth strategy serving the Automotive space. The separation is expected to be tax-free to shareholders, and to be completed within 12-18 months. Please see separate press release for additional details on the proposed separation.
In a previous release, and as part of the Company’s active portfolio optimization, S&P Global announced the planned divestiture of its OSTTRA Joint Venture for total consideration of $3.1 billion, to be divided equally pursuant to the 50/50 ownership with CME Group. The divestiture is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
Quarterly revenue achieved a new record of $3.777 billion, increasing 8% year over year.

GAAP operating margin increased 210 basis points and adjusted operating margin increased 100 basis points, driving 12% growth in GAAP EPS and 9% growth in adjusted EPS, respectively, year over year.

The Company expects to execute additional accelerated share repurchases (ASR) totaling $650 million in the coming weeks.

The Company's full-year 2025 guidance now calls for revenue growth of 4% - 6%, GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $14.60 - $15.10, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $16.75 - $17.25.

"Our first-quarter results highlight the resilience of our business model, our commitment to disciplined execution, and the importance of our products and services to our customers around the world.
In periods of volatility and uncertainty, our customers rely on us for much-needed data and insights. Our shareholders also rely on us to be good stewards of capital.
In conjunction with such solid financial results, we’re also pleased to announce the intent to spin the Mobility division into an independent public company. This allows S&P Global to increase its focus on core strategic areas, while creating a very attractive, separate company that can pursue its own profitable growth strategy independently."

President and CEO

The Company’s first-quarter reported operating profit margin increased by 210 basis points to 41.8%, and adjusted operating profit margin increased 100 basis points to 50.8%, primarily due to growth in our Ratings and Indices divisions.

GAAP Diluted EPS$3.54$3.1612%
Adjusted Diluted EPS$4.37$4.019%

First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 12% to $3.54 primarily due to a 10% increase in net income, and a 2% reduction in diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 9% to $4.37 due to a 7% increase in adjusted net income and a 2% decrease in diluted shares outstanding. Currency positively impacted adjusted diluted EPS by $0.02. The largest non-core adjustment to earnings in the first quarter of 2025 was for deal-related amortization.

In addition to the above, the Company expects 2025 cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, of $5.4 - $5.6 billion, compared to prior expectation of ~$5.9 billion. The Company expects adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items, of $5.6 - $5.8 billion, compared to prior guidance of ~$6.0 billion. Lower cash flow expectations compared to previous guidance are a result of changes in the assumptions for the timing of cash taxes, net income, and working capital.

The Company's updated guidance for revenue growth is 1pp lower than the previous guidance range, on slightly lower revenue expectations in Ratings and Indices. The Company is raising GAAP corporate unallocated expense guidance from prior guidance in the range of $230 - $240 million primarily as a result of increased lease impairment charges. The Company is raising GAAP operating margin guidance from prior guidance in the range of 41.5% - 42.5%, primarily due to the expected gain from the divestiture of OSTTRA. The Company is lowering adjusted operating margin from the prior range of 49% - 50%, as a result of the lower expected revenue contributions from Ratings and Indices divisions, and lower expected profit contributions from OSTTRA. GAAP and adjusted interest expense, net are each expected to be approximately $10 million higher than prior guidance. The Company is raising the expected GAAP EPS, due to the expected gain from the divestiture of OSTTRA, and lowering the low end of the expected Adjusted EPS range, while the high end of Adjusted EPS guidance range is unchanged. These broader ranges reflect the broader range of outcomes contemplated in Ratings revenue, and the variability in the timing of expenses and strategic investments in 2025. The Company is lowering GAAP and adjusted deal-related amortization guidance from prior guidance of ~$1.13 billion. The Company now expects GAAP and adjusted capital expenditures of $180 - $190 million, compared to prior guidance of approximately $190 - $200 million. Other guidance metrics are unchanged from prior guidance.

GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted guidance include the impact of acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2024. Guidance also assumes the completion of the OSTTRA divestiture in the second half of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted guidance excludes amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.

Capital Return: For the full year 2025, the Company expects to return approximately 85% of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.96. The Company expects to execute additional accelerated share repurchases (ASR) totaling $650 million in the coming weeks.

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"). 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 net income; adjusted diluted EPS; adjusted operating profit and margin; adjusted expenses; adjusted corporate unallocated expense; adjusted deal-related amortization; adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rate; organic constant currency revenue; and cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, free cash flow, and 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, 7, and 8. The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted 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 cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders; free cash flow; and 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 cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders; free cash flow; and 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.
