News Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FactSet Research Systems Surpasses $100 million in Revenues for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2006
Norwalk, Connecticut – September 19, 2006—FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE: FDS), a leading provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications to the global investment community, today announced its results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
For the quarter ended August 31, 2006, GAAP revenues increased to $105.2 million, up 27% compared to the prior year period. GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter rose to $33.3 million from $28.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2005. GAAP net income advanced to $23.4 million as compared to GAAP net income of $18.6 million a year ago. GAAP diluted earnings per share increased to $0.46, up from $0.37 in the same period of fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 32.5%. Included in the just completed fourth quarter were income tax benefits of $1.4 million or $0.03 per share. The income tax benefits resulted from the conclusion of an audit of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2003 and 2004.
GAAP financial measures including operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share have been adjusted to report non-GAAP financial measures that exclude charges related to stock-based compensation and incremental expenses incurred from consolidating office locations in London. Net income and diluted earnings per share have also been adjusted to reflect income tax benefits from the closure of previously filed tax returns. Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $36.7 million, up 27%. Non-GAAP net income advanced 31% to $24.5 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 30% to $0.48. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is presented on page 8 of this press release.
To aid an investor’s ability to make more precise interpretations of FactSet’s financial results, a supplementary schedule is presented on page 11 of this press release to summarize revenues related to services that are not included in the calculation of FactSet’s subscription value.

Forward looking statements
This news release contains
forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations, estimates and
projections. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future,
including statements about the Company’s strategy for growth, product development,
market position, subscriptions, expected expenditures and financial results are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words like
“expected,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,”
“projects,” “should,” “indicates,” “continues,”
“subscriptions” and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many
factors, including those discussed more fully elsewhere in this release and in
FactSet’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly its
latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as others,
could cause results to differ materially from those stated. These factors include, but are
not limited to, the ability to integrate newly acquired companies; the ability to hire
qualified personnel; the maintenance of the Company’s leading technological position;
the impact of global market trends on the Company’s revenue growth rate and future
results of operations; the negotiation of contract terms with corporate vendors, data
suppliers and potential landlords; the retention of key clients; the successful resolution
of ongoing audits by tax authorities; the continued employment of key personnel; the
absence of U.S. or foreign governmental regulation restricting international business; and
the sustainability of historical levels of profitability and growth rates in cash flow
generation.
About non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP financial measures including
income from operations, net income, diluted earnings per common share and cash flows
provided by operating activities have been adjusted to exclude charges related to
stock-based compensation, incremental expenses incurred in the London real estate
consolidation, a gain from the sale of Company-owned real estate and tax benefits from the
closure of previously filed tax returns. FactSet’s management believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its
financial results and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial
measures in assessing FactSet’s performance and when planning, forecasting and
analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to
FactSet’s historical performance.
Page 3 of 11
FactSet uses measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP cash flows from operations. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s financial statements for prior periods have not been restated for the effect of FAS 123(R). The
Company consolidated four office locations in London into one headquarters facility in
June 2006. Net income and earnings per share have also been adjusted to reflect tax
benefits primarily from the closure of previously filed tax returns. FactSet’s
management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding its financial results and that investors may benefit from referring
to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing FactSet’s performance and when
planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may
also facilitate comparisons to FactSet’s historical performance.
