Company Overview

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. provides investor communications and technology-driven solutions for the financial services industry globally. The company was spun off from Automatic Data Processing in 2007 and has established itself as a global Fintech leader with over $6 billion in revenues.

Business Overview

Broadridge operates through two primary segments: Investor Communication Solutions (ICS) and Global Technology and Operations. The company delivers technology-driven solutions to banks, broker-dealers, asset and wealth managers, and public companies, serving as a global communications hub enabling corporate governance by linking thousands of public companies and mutual funds to tens of millions of individual and institutional investors worldwide.

#### Key Business Segments

- Investor Communication Solutions (ICS)

This segment handles proxy materials distribution and voting processes for bank, broker-dealer, corporate issuer, and fund clients, and provides fund manager and regulatory communication solutions. It offers ProxyEdge electronic proxy delivery and voting solution, data-driven solutions, content management platforms, SEC filing services, registrar and stock transfer services, and omni-channel customer communications solutions through the Broadridge Communications Cloud platform.

- Global Technology and Operations

This segment provides solutions that automate the front-to-back transaction lifecycle of equity, mutual fund, fixed income, foreign exchange, and exchange-traded derivatives, including order capture and execution, trade confirmation, margin, cash management, clearing, and settlement. Broadridge's technology and operations platforms underpin the daily trading of on average more than $15 trillion of equities, fixed income, and other securities.

Market Position and Competitive Advantages

Broadridge has been the dominant proxy and interim services provider for broker/dealers for more than 20 years, with its regulated proxy and interim business serving as its crown jewel. The company maintains a dominant market share position on delivering proxies and interims to beneficial shareholders, with fees set by the NYSE proxy working group overseen by the SEC.

The company generates over 30% of its fee revenue and EBITDA from its global technology and operations segment, while benefiting from higher engagement of retail investors through position growth and elevated trading volume. Direct indexing and the rise of retail investing support position growth beyond expectations.
