Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations Increased 46% to $0.90

New York, NY, July 25, 2013 McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. (NYSE: MHFI) today reported second quarter 2013 results with revenue of $1.25 billion , an increase of 17% compared to the same period last year. Net income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $250 million and $0.90 , respectively.

 

Excluding the impact of one-time costs related to the Growth and Value Plan, adjusted net income from continuing operations increased 28% to $257 million , and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 31% to $0.92 .

 

“Our second quarter results topped strong first quarter performance, contributing to a great first half for this new Company,” said Harold McGraw III, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of McGraw Hill Financial. “The exceptional growth that the Company reported is a testament to the strength of our benchmark brands, our focus on cost control, and the benefit of returning cash to shareholders through meaningful share repurchases.” He continued, “Over the years I have worked to upgrade our portfolio of assets and drive meaningful shareholder return to our investors. With the Board of Directors’ selection of Doug Peterson as my successor to be the Company’s next President and CEO, I am confident that Doug will continue to build this great Company while rewarding our shareholders. Doug is a talented leader with deep industry knowledge, regulatory experience, and most importantly, unquestionable integrity."

 

The Outlook: 2013 adjusted earnings per share guidance is increased to a range of $3.15 to $3.25 from $3.10 to $3.20. While the Company expects global issuance to remain generally robust, markets may demonstrate volatility due in part to evolving expectations for interest rates. In addition, investors should note that comparisons to prior year results become more difficult in the second half of the year.

 

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services: Quarterly revenue increased 24% to $599 million compared to 2Q 2012, driven by strength in corporate issuance and bank loan ratings as well as continued recovery in U.S. structured finance issuance. Operating profit increased 34% to $277 million , driving a 300-plus basis point improvement in operating profit margin to 46% .

Transaction revenue grew 41% to $287 million compared to the same period last year. This was driven by a 31% increase in worldwide corporate issuance, an 85% increase in high-yield issuance, and strong bank loan ratings. In addition, U.S. structured finance continued to show improvement with a 12% increase in issuance driven by substantial growth in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and collateralized debt obligations (primarily collateralized loan obligations). Weakness in European structured finance continued due to lower-cost alternative solutions, such as the Bank of England’s Funding for Lending Scheme.

 

During the quarter, non-transaction revenue increased 12% and represented 52% of Standard & Poor’s Ratings’ total revenue compared to 58% for the same period last year. Excluding the acquisition of Coalition, non-transaction revenue grew 9.9%. Non-transaction growth was driven primarily by entity credit ratings and ratings evaluation services, a telling sign that corporations that have either not issued debt or are contemplating capital structure changes could enter the bond market. In addition, a change in the structure of the billing of surveillance fees had a positive contribution to year-over-year growth.

 

Domestic revenue increased 23% , consistent with a 25% increase in international revenue. Foreign exchange rates had a negligible impact on revenue. International revenue represented 46% of Standard & Poor’s Ratings’ total second quarter revenue.

 

Tender for CRISIL Shares: On July 24, the Company initiated a voluntary tender offer for up to 15.7 million shares of CRISIL Limited, a publicly traded company in India. The tender will close on August 6. If the tender is fully subscribed, the Company’s ownership in CRISIL will increase from approximately 53% to 75%.

 

S&P Capital IQ: Revenue increased 3% to $287 million in the second quarter of 2013. The revenue benefit from recent acquisitions was offset by the wind down of several small products. Adjusted operating profit decreased 7% to $55 million due to continued investment in the expansion of products, content, and technology.

 

Among the benefits resulting from this investment was the creation of a new Portfolio Risk Solution, which was launched in June. This product delivers the only real-time, multi-asset portfolio risk system that enables internal and external collaboration, click-through transparency, and seamless access to the broad range of reference data and functionality offered within the Capital IQ Desktop.

 

Two key products, Capital IQ Desktop and RatingsXpress ® led the organic revenue growth. With the successful integration of TheMarkets.com, the new combined number of Capital IQ Desktop users increased 16% over the past year to more than 54,000. When large enterprise accounts with broad-tiered pricing are excluded, the user growth was mid-single digit.

 

S&P Capital IQ’s international revenue increased by 2% to $97 million in the second quarter and represented 34% of the segment’s total revenue.

 

S&P Dow Jones Indices: Revenue increased 39% to $123 million in the second quarter of 2013. Excluding the revenue associated with the Dow Jones Indexes, revenue increased 6% to $94 million . Quarterly operating profit increased 43% to $80 million . McGraw Hill Financial’s share of the operating profit increased 6% to $60 million .

Assets under management in exchange-traded funds based on the S&P Dow Jones Indices reached $546 billion at the end of the quarter. Excluding the Dow Jones Indexes, quarter-ending assets under management increased 34% to $469 billion. Trading volume of exchange-traded derivatives, excluding the Dow Jones Indexes, increased 11%.

 

Revenue growth was partially mitigated by declines in revenue from mutual funds and modest growth in the data subscription business.

 

Commodities & Commercial Markets : Revenue increased 8% to $259 million . Operating profit increased by 16% to $83 million in the second quarter, compared to the same period last year.

 

Platts continued to deliver steady revenue growth, delivering a 14% increase to $137 million for the period. Petroleum, petrochemicals, metals, and agriculture all delivered double-digit growth. Within petroleum, licensing revenue from global trading services grew more than 50%.

 

Commercial Markets’ revenue increased 2% . J.D. Power delivered mid single-digit growth primarily from its strong Asian auto business. Aviation Week delivered high single-digit growth, primarily from the MRO Americas Show and the biennial Paris Air Show that took place in 2Q 2013.

 

Sale of Aviation Week: Yesterday, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell Aviation Week to Penton. The sale continues the execution of the Company’s strategy of exiting non-core assets while investing in high-growth, high-margin benchmark businesses. We expect the transaction to close shortly.

 

DOJ Lawsuit:   On July 16, the Federal District Court in California issued a decision denying our motion to dismiss the Complaint. The Court’s decision was not on the merits of the case as the Court was required at this preliminary stage to accept as true all the factual allegations from the Complaint.  As the case proceeds, the Company will have the opportunity to demonstrate the independence of our ratings and the lack of merit to the Department of Justice’s Complaint.

 

State Attorneys General Actions: In June, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) transferred most of the pending State AG actions to a single Federal Judge in Manhattan. The Court will decide whether the State AG actions were properly removed to Federal Court. Oral argument on this issue is scheduled to be held on October 4.

 

Unallocated Expense : Unallocated expense includes corporate functions and centrally managed costs. Adjusted unallocated expense increased by 4% to $49 million in the second quarter.

 

Non-GAAP Adjustments to Continuing Operations: During the second quarter, approximately $10 million of pre-tax items were excluded from the adjusted results. These were Growth and Value Plan costs related to professional fees and outsourcing. These costs decreased from $24 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Share Repurchase: The Company initiated a $500 million accelerated share repurchase transaction on March 25. This plan will be completed this week and we will receive 0.7 million shares, bringing the total shares repurchased under the Accelerated Share Repurchase program to 9.3 million shares. The Company now has approximately 7.6 million shares remaining under the existing authorization from the Board of Directors and expects to continue share repurchases under this authorization.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow : Cash and equivalents at the end of the second quarter were $1.9 billion , up from $760 million at the end of 2012. In the first half of the year, free cash flow from continuing operations was $145 million , a decrease of $32 million from the same period in 2012. The decline was impacted by legal settlements and the timing of tax payments.

 

Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information: Adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit, adjusted unallocated expense and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures contained in this earnings release that are derived from the Company’s continuing operations. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as Company management. These non-GAAP measures may be different than similar measures used by other companies. Reconciliations for the differences between non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP are attached as Exhibits 5 and 8.
