The information security team also oversees the detection, prevention, mitigation and remediation of all cybersecurity incidents. Our information security team proactively monitors emerging cyber threat activity to proactively tune and upgrade our cyber capabilities to maintain a robust security posture.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our information security program is managed by a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") who reports to our Chief Technology Officer, a member of our Executive Leadership Team ("ELT"). Our CISO has a graduate degree in computer engineering and has worked in cybersecurity for over two decades, including at a major financial institution. The information security team is comprised of approximately 60 employees, with dedicated teams assigned to governance, risk and compliance, identity and access management, strategy and architecture, and analytics and automation.

All FactSet's employees receive mandatory annual cybersecurity training; software engineers receive training on secure software development best practices; and other ad hoc training is provided to employees on the latest cyber threat landscape. In addition, we also perform quarterly "phishing simulations" to test the effectiveness of our security training program.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">FactSet's information security team performs annual penetration testing with leading service providers, to mimic motivated threat actors, to assess the internal and external security posture of the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Basis of Presentation</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We conduct business globally and manage our business on a geographic basis. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for annual financial information and the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries; all intercompany activity and balances have been eliminated.</div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><div style="text-align:justify">Reclassifications</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For the year ended August 31, 2025, asset impairments were included within Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We conformed the comparative prior year figures to the current year presentation.</div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><div style="text-align:justify">For the year ended August 31, 2025, Prepaid expenses and other assets, previously included within Other, net, were presented as a separate component of Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We conformed the comparative prior year figures to the current year presentation.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Use of Estimates</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimation may be involved in the accounting for income taxes, stock-based compensation, goodwill, business combinations, property, equipment and leasehold improvements ("PPE"), intangible assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Critical Accounting Estimates, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on our use of estimates.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Revenue Recognition </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The majority of our revenues are derived from client access to our multi-asset solutions powered by our platform of connected data and technology that is available over the contractual term (referred to as the "Hosted Platform"). The Hosted Platform is a subscription-based service that provides client access to various combinations of products and services including workstations, portfolio analytics and enterprise solutions. In addition, through the CGS platform, we provide subscription access to a database of universally recognized security identifiers reflecting differentiating characteristics for issuers and their financial instruments (referred to as the "Identifier Platform").</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Revenues from our products and services are recognized as we transfer control to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for satisfying our performance obligations. We record revenues net of sales taxes which are subsequently remitted to taxing authorities and are excluded from the transaction price. We determined the majority of our contracts with clients, whether for our Hosted Platform or Identifier Platform service, each represent a single performance obligation covering a series of distinct products and services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the client. The primary nature of our promise to the client is to provide daily access to each of these data and analytics platforms, with revenue recognized over-time as performance is satisfied on an output time-based measure of progress, as the client is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of the platform. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We record deferred revenues when payments are received in advance of performance under the client contract. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Stock-Based Compensation</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our stock-based compensation expense consists of:</div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance share units ("PSUs") issued to eligible employees under the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Stock Option and Award Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "LTIP"). </div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Stock options and RSUs issued to non-employee members of the Board of Directors ("non-employee directors") under the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option and Award Plan as Amended and Restated (the "Director Plan").</div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Common stock purchased by eligible employees under the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan as Amended and Restated (the "ESPP"). </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards and purchases of common stock under the ESPP based on their estimated grant date fair value. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt">We utilize a lattice-binomial option-pricing model ("binomial model") to estimate the grant date fair value for our employee stock options and the Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value for non-employee director stock options and common stock purchased by eligible employees under our ESPP.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Both the binomial model and Black-Scholes model involve certain estimates and assumptions such as:</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Risk-free interest rate - based on the United States ("U.S.") Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with maturities equal to the expected terms of the stock-based awards granted. </div><div style="margin-top:5pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Expected life - the weighted average period the stock-based awards are expected to remain outstanding.</div><div style="margin-top:5pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Expected volatility - based on a blend of historical volatility of the stock-based award's useful life and the weighted average implied volatility for call option contracts traded in the 90 days preceding the stock-based award's valuation date. </div><div style="margin-top:5pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Dividend yield - the expectation of dividend payouts based on our history. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The binomial model also incorporates market conditions, vesting restrictions and exercise patterns.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For RSUs and PSUs (collectively, "Restricted Stock Awards"), the grant date fair value is measured by reducing the grant date price of our common stock by the present value of expected future dividend payments on the underlying stock during the requisite service period, discounted at the appropriate risk-free interest rate. The number of PSUs granted assumes target-level achievement of the specified performance levels within the payout range. The ultimate number of common shares that may be earned pursuant to our PSU awards depends on the level of our achievement of stated financial performance objectives. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Stock-based compensation expense for stock option and RSU awards is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. For these awards, the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized on any date is at least equal to the vested portion of the award on that date. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our PSUs require us to make assumptions regarding the probability of achieving specified performance levels established at the time of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for PSUs using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. The probability of achieving the specified performance levels is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure the amount of stock-based compensation expense appropriately reflects the expected achievement. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For our ESPP, stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our stock-based awards are generally subject to the continued employment for employees, or continued service for non-employee directors, through the applicable vesting date. Compensation expense for stock-based awards is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, which are based on historical forfeiture rates and are revised if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Research and Product Development Costs</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We do not have a separate research and product development department, but rather we rely on collaboration across departments, with costs primarily consisting of employee compensation costs, such as salaries and related benefits for our product development, software engineering and technical support departments, as well as certain third party costs. These teams collaborate with our strategists, product and content managers, technologists, sales and other team members to develop new products and process innovations and enhance existing products. Our research and product development costs are expensed as </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">incurred and are primarily recorded in employee compensation costs, which are included in our Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, dependent on the nature of the team. We incurred research and product development costs of $300.7 million, $265.2 million and $267.4 million during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Income Taxes</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which they are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount that is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) to be realized.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Applicable accounting guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for financial statement recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure of uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. We follow a two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The second step, for those positions that meet the recognition criteria, is to measure and recognize the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority. We classify the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as Taxes Payable (non-current) and to the extent we anticipate payment of cash within one year, the benefit is classified as Current taxes payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The determination of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and associated interest and penalties requires significant estimates and assumptions; as such, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcome. For this reason and due to ongoing audits by multiple tax authorities, we regularly engage in discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We accrue interest on all income tax exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws, and recognize this interest in the Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in Current taxes payable or Taxes payable (non-current), based on the expected timing of the payment, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Cash and Cash Equivalents</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments including demand deposits and money market funds available for withdrawal without restriction or with original maturities of 90 days or less. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts Receivable</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts receivable includes both invoiced and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. Unbilled receivables reflect revenues earned for which we have the unconditional right to payment, even though we have not yet issued an invoice. Amounts included in accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year. Our allowance for expected credit losses is based on a variety of factors, including collectability trends, our historical write-off activity, current economic environment, client-specific information and expectations of future economic conditions. Our allowance is recorded to SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Income and we assess the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. Recoveries of accounts previously reserved are recognized as a reversal to SG&A when payment is received. We write-off accounts receivable balances when we have exhausted our collection efforts.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">PPE are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years for computers and related equipment and seven years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">shorter of their respective useful lives or the related lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered leasehold improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We review our PPE to determine if any indicators of impairment are present on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset group is tested for impairment by comparing its carrying value to its undiscounted cash flows and if impaired, written down to fair value based on its discounted cash flows. In addition, we periodically evaluate the estimated remaining useful lives of our PPE to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation or amortization. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Goodwill</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We recognize the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized as it is estimated to have an indefinite life and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators occur. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired and written-down in the period in which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have three reporting units, Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific, which are consistent with our operating segments.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">When assessing goodwill for impairment, we may first elect to perform a qualitative analysis for the reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or if we elect not to perform a qualitative analysis, a quantitative analysis is performed to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The quantitative goodwill impairment analysis is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit with its fair value. To perform this analysis, we apply the income approach which utilizes discounted cash flows, along with other relevant market information. The annual review of the carrying value of goodwill requires us to develop estimates of expected cash flows by reporting unit, based on future business performance, discounted by their respective weighted average cost of capital. Changes in our estimates can impact the present value of expected cash flows used in determining fair value of a reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then the goodwill is considered impaired and written down to the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment loss for the reporting unit cannot exceed the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Intangible Assets</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, assuming no residual value. We evaluate the useful lives annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Intangible assets are tested for impairment qualitatively on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset group is tested for impairment by comparing its carrying value to undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Internal-use Software and Implementation Costs of Hosting Arrangements</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our developed technology intangible assets (“Developed technology”) consist of capitalized internal-use software costs, such as employee compensation and external expenses incurred during the application development phase, as well as costs related to upgrades and enhancements that add functionality, and software acquired for internal use. These costs are recorded in Intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also capitalize qualifying implementation costs for hosting arrangements that meet the capitalization criteria per the internal-use software guidance within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our Developed technology and implementation assets are typically amortized over three to five years using the straight-line method. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Leases</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our operating lease arrangements relate to our office space and data centers. We determine if an arrangement qualifies as a lease at inception by evaluating if there is an identified asset and whether we obtain substantially all the economic benefits of and have the right to control the use of an asset. For operating leases with a term greater than one year, we recognize lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities as the present value of future minimum lease payments over the reasonably </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">certain lease term beginning at the commencement or modification date. The future minimum lease payments include fixed lease payments and certain qualifying index-based variable payments. Our lease ROU assets may further be impacted by prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Our operating leases are classified within Lease right-of-use assets, net, Current lease liabilities and Long-term lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our leases generally do not have a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") at the lease commencement, or on the date of lease modification, if applicable, in determining the present value of future payments. Our IBR is derived by selecting U.S. corporate yield curves observed for public companies that are reflective of our credit rating, adjusted to approximate a secured rate of borrowing. We also consider revisions to the rate to reflect the geographic location where the leased asset is located. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Certain of our lease agreements include options to extend and/or terminate the lease, which we do not include in our minimum lease terms unless we are reasonably certain to exercise these options. We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which we recognize over the expected term on a straight-line expense basis in occupancy costs (a component of SG&A expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income). Variable lease payments that are not included in the calculation of lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are expensed as incurred within occupancy costs. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We review our lease ROU assets for impairment when there are indicators that an asset may no longer be recoverable. The impairment assessment requires significant judgments and estimates, including estimating subtenant rental income, calculating an appropriate discount rate and assessing other applicable future cash flows associated with the leased location. These estimates are based on our experience and knowledge of the market in which the property is located, previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and the assessment of existing market conditions. Impairments are recognized as a reduction to the carrying value of the Lease right-of-use assets, net with a corresponding increase to SG&A on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income, respectively.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Treasury Stock</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We account for treasury stock under the cost method and present it within Treasury stock as a component of Stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We may repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program in the open market or via privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares of our common stock are recorded at the market price on the trade date and are held as treasury shares until they are reissued or retired. When treasury shares are reissued, if the issuance price is higher than the average price paid to acquire the shares ("the cost"), the excess of the issuance price over the cost is credited to additional paid-in capital ("APIC"). If the issuance is lower than the cost, the difference is first charged against any credit balance in APIC from Treasury stock, with the remaining balance charged to Retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We account for the formal retirement of treasury shares by deducting its par value from Common stock, reflecting any excess over par value as a reduction to APIC (to the extent created by previous issuances of the shares) and then Retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA"), which was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. We record the applicable excise tax in Treasury stock, as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased, and a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Fair Value Measurements</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income and cost approaches is permissible. The inputs to these methodologies consider market comparable information, taking into account the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value based on the reliability of inputs. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries operate under a functional currency different from the U.S. dollar. Our primary currency exposures include the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Indian Rupee and Philippine Peso. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries that are local currency functional are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average monthly rates for revenues and expenses. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from translating these assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries that are U.S. dollar functional but maintain their books of record in their respective local currency, we remeasure our revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange for the period, monetary assets and liabilities using period-end rates and non-monetary assets and liabilities at their historical rates. The resulting remeasurement gains and losses are recorded to SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Income.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Concentrations of Credit Risk</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Credit risk arises from the potential nonperformance by counterparties to fulfill their financial obligations. Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments in mutual funds, accounts receivable and derivative instruments. The maximum credit exposure of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments in mutual funds and accounts receivable is their carrying values as of the balance sheet date. The maximum credit exposure related to our derivative instruments is based upon their respective gross fair values as of the balance sheet date.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Investments</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We are exposed to credit risk on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in mutual funds in the event of default by the financial and governmental institutions with which we transact. We invest in a manner that aligns with our restrictive cash investment practices, preserves capital and provides liquidity, while minimizing our exposure to credit risk. We limit our exposure to credit loss by investing with multiple financial and governmental institutions that we believe are high-quality and credit-worthy. We have not experienced any credit losses relating to our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in mutual funds.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts Receivable</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our accounts receivable credit risk is dependent upon the financial stability of our individual clients. As of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, our accounts receivable reserve was $13.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively. We do not require collateral from our clients; however, no single client represented more than 3.5% of our total annual revenues for fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2025. Due to our large and geographically dispersed client base, our concentration of credit risk related to our accounts receivable is generally limited.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Derivative Instruments</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our use of derivative instruments exposes us to credit risk to the extent counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their agreements. To mitigate credit risk, we limit counterparties to financial institutions we believe are credit-worthy and use several institutions to reduce concentration risk. We do not expect any losses as a result of default by our counterparties.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Concentrations of Data Providers</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We integrate data from various third-party sources into our hosted proprietary data and analytics platform. As certain data sources have a limited number of suppliers, we make every effort to assure that, where reasonable, alternative sources are available. We are not dependent on any individual third-party data supplier to meet the needs of our clients, with two data suppliers each representing more than 10% of our total data costs for the year ended August 31, 2025.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Concentrations of Cloud Providers</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our clients rely on us for the delivery of time-sensitive, up-to-date data and applications. Our business is dependent on our ability to process substantial volumes of data and transactions rapidly and efficiently. We currently use multiple providers of cloud services; however, one supplier provided the majority of our cloud computing support for fiscal 2025. We maintain back-up facilities and other redundancies at our data centers, take security measures and have emergency planning procedures to minimize the risk that an event will disrupt our operations. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.

<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Use of Estimates</div>The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimation may be involved in the accounting for income taxes, stock-based compensation, goodwill, business combinations, property, equipment and leasehold improvements ("PPE"), intangible assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.

FAIR VALUE MEASURES<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income and cost approaches are permissible. When pricing an asset or liability, the inputs to these valuation methodologies consider market comparable information, taking into account the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Fair Value Hierarchy </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy ranks the reliability of the inputs, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement, used to determine fair value. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have categorized our assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy as follows: </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The assumptions used in determining fair value represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. As a result, if factors change, our fair value estimates could be materially different in the future and may adversely affect our business and financial results. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">(a) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

We utilized the income approach to measure fair value for our foreign exchange forward contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as spot, forward and interest rates, as well as credit default swap spreads. To estimate fair value for our interest rate swap agreements, we utilized a present value of future cash flows, leveraging a model-derived valuation that uses observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. Our derivative instruments in an asset position are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and those in a liability position are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-13.5pt">(4) Our contingent liabilities resulted from the acquisitions of various businesses. These liabilities reflect the present value of potential future payments that are contingent upon the achievement of certain specified milestones and are valued using a scenario-based method. This method incorporates unobservable inputs and assumptions made by management, including the probability of achieving specified milestones, expected time until payment and the discount rate.

We utilized the income approach to measure fair value for our foreign exchange forward contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as spot, forward and interest rates, as well as credit default swap spreads. To estimate fair value for our interest rate swap agreements, we utilized a present value of future cash flows, leveraging a model-derived valuation that uses observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. Our derivative instruments in an asset position are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and those in a liability position are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-13.5pt">(4) Our contingent liabilities resulted from the acquisitions of various businesses. These liabilities reflect the present value of potential future payments that are contingent upon the achievement of certain specified milestones and are valued using a scenario-based method. This method incorporates unobservable inputs and assumptions made by management, including the probability of achieving specified milestones, expected time until payment and the discount rate. Refer to Note 5, Acquisitions, for more information on the contingent liabilities associated with the Liquid Holdings LLC ("LiquidityBook") and Platform Group Limited ("Irwin") acquisitions.</div>

LEASES<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our operating lease arrangements relate to our office space and data centers. We review new arrangements at inception to evaluate whether we obtain substantially all the economic benefits of and have the right to control the use of an asset.

Certain adjustments to calculate our lease ROU assets may be required due to prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which we recognize over the expected lease term on a straight-line expense basis in occupancy costs (a component of SG&A expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Income. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of August 31, 2025, we recognized $121.8 million of Lease ROU assets, net and $190.2 million of combined Current lease liabilities and Long-term lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The 2025 Credit Agreement also provides for a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2025 Revolving Facility").

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Commitments represent obligations, such as those for future purchases of goods or services that are not yet recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities. We record liabilities for commitments when incurred (i.e., when the goods or services are received). </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Except for income tax contingencies, we accrue for contingencies when we believe that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, we record an accrual for the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. We review these accruals on a quarterly basis and adjust, as necessary, to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other current information. Contingent gains are recognized only when realized. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Income tax contingencies related to uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Income Taxes for further details. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Purchase Commitments with Suppliers and Vendors</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Purchase obligations represent our legally-binding agreements to purchase fixed or minimum quantities at determinable prices. As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total purchase obligations with suppliers and vendors of approximately $352 million and $383 million, respectively. Our total purchase obligations as of August 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily related to hosting services, acquisition of data and, to a lesser extent, third-party software providers. </div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We also have contractual obligations related to our lease liabilities and outstanding debt. Refer to Note 10, Leases and Note 11, Debt, for information regarding our lease commitments and outstanding debt obligations, respectively. </div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Letters of Credit</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">From time to time, we are required to obtain letters of credit in the ordinary course of business. Our 2025 Revolving Facility allows for the availability of up to $100.0 million in the form of letters of credit. We have not obtained any letters of credit under the 2025 Revolving Facility since its inception. As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $0.7 million and $0.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding, respectively.

In view of the uncertainty inherent in litigation and regulatory matters, we cannot predict the eventual outcome of such matters or the timing of their resolution, or in most cases reasonably estimate what the eventual judgments, damages, fines, penalties or impact of activity (if any) restrictions may be. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, based on information available at August 31, 2025, our management believes that the ultimate outcome of these unresolved matters against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, our results of operations or our cash flows.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Income Taxes</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As a multinational company operating in many states and countries, we are routinely audited by various taxing authorities and have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated settlements with, these tax authorities. We believe that the final outcome of these examinations or settlements will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or our cash flows. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of tax benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of the federal, state and foreign income tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, additional expense would result.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Sales Tax Matters</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">During August 2019 through February 2024, we received various assessment and audit notices from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue (the "Commonwealth") with respect to sales taxes, interest and underpayment penalties relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2023 ("Sales Tax Dispute"). We entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth on November 26, 2024 which fully resolved all matters relating to the Sales Tax Dispute.</div>During the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we took charges of approximately $2.4 million and $54.0 million, respectively, related to this dispute and made corresponding payments of $56.4 million to the Commonwealth during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition to reserves taken in prior fiscal years, this brought our total charge and cash payments with respect to this matter to approximately $66.2 million.

SEGMENT INFORMATION<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that have the following characteristics: (i) they engage in business activities from which they may earn revenue and incur expense, (ii) their operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for resource allocation decisions and performance assessment, and (iii) their discrete financial information is available. Our Chief Executive Officer functions as our CODM. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We have three operating segments: Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. This is how our CODM manages our business and the geographic markets in which we operate. These operating segments are consistent with our reportable segments. Our CODM uses segment operating income to assess performance and allocate resources to each segment. The CODM compares the actual results of each segment with one another, as well as, to prior periods.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The Americas segment primarily sells to clients throughout North, Central, and South America. The EMEA segment primarily sells to clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The Asia Pacific segment primarily sells to clients in Asia and Australasia. Segment revenues reflect sales to our clients based on the geographic region where the sale originated. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Each segment records expenses related to its individual operations with the exception of expenditures associated with our data centers, third-party data costs and corporate headquarters charges, which are recorded by the Americas segment and are not allocated to the other segments. The expenses incurred at our global centers of excellence ("COEs"), primarily located in India and the Philippines, are allocated to each segment based on their respective percentage of revenues as this reflects the benefits provided by each segment.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The following tables reflect the results of operations of
