RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of May 31, 2022, we implemented all applicable new accounting standards and updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that were in effect. There were no new standards or updates adopted during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 that had a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">New Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Income Tax Simplification</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740); Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in accounting for income taxes related to intraperiod tax allocation, simplifying when companies recognize deferred taxes in an interim period, and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application. We have adopted this standard effective September 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify">Business Combinations</div><div style="text-align:justify">In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) rather than adjust them to fair value at the acquisition date. We elected to early adopt this accounting standard in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, with retrospective application to business combinations that occurred in the current fiscal year. Results of operations for quarterly periods prior to September 1, 2021 remain unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08. The acquisitions of CGS and Cobalt Software, Inc (“Cobalt”), and all future acquisitions, will be accounted for in accordance with ASU 2021-08. Refer to Note 7, Acquisitions for further information.

As a result of the reference rate reform initiative, certain widely used reference rates such as LIBOR are expected to be discontinued. The guidance is designed to simplify how entities account for contracts, such as receivables, debt, leases, derivative instruments and hedging, that are modified to replace LIBOR or other benchmark interest rates with new rates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We derive most of our revenues by providing client access to our hosted proprietary data and analytics platform which can include various combinations of products, content and services available over the contractual term (referred to as the "hosted platform"). The hosted platform is a subscription-based service that consists primarily of providing client access to products, content and services including workstations, portfolio analytics and market data. We also provide subscription access to a database of universally recognized 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">We determined that the majority of each of our hosted platform and identifier platform services represents a single performance obligation covering a series of distinct products and services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">transfer to the client. We also determined the primary nature of the promise to the client is to provide daily access to each of these data and analytics platforms. These platforms provide integrated financial information, analytical applications and industry-leading service for the investment community. Based on the nature of the services and products offered by us, we apply an output time-based measure of progress as the client is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of the platform. We record revenues for these contracts using the over-time revenue recognition model as a client is invoiced or performance is satisfied. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We do not consider payment terms as a performance obligation for clients with contractual terms that are one year or less and we have elected the practical expedient. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Contracts with clients can include certain fulfillment costs, comprised of up-front costs to allow for the delivery of services and products, which are recoverable. Fulfillment costs are recognized as an asset, with the current portion recorded in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the non-current portion recorded in Other assets, based on the term of the license period. The fulfillment costs are amortized consistent with the associated revenues for providing the services. There are no significant judgments that would impact the timing of revenue recognition. The majority of client contracts have a duration of one year or the amount we are entitled to receive corresponds directly with the value of performance obligations completed to date, and therefore, we do not disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Disaggregated Revenues </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We disaggregate revenues from contracts with clients by our segments which consist of the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. We believe these segments are reflective of how we manage our business and the markets in which we serve and best depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows related to contracts with clients. Refer to Note 17, Segment Information, for further information. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt">The following table presents this disaggregation by segment:<table

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 is permissible. We consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. </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 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. 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 levels. We have categorized our cash equivalents, investments and derivatives 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. These Level 1 assets and liabilities include our corporate money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents. </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 </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">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. Our mutual funds and derivative instruments are classified as Level 2. </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">(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 May 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021. We did not have any transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2022 or August 31, 2021.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><table

We utilize 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, and are classified as Level 2 assets. To estimate fair value for our interest rate swap agreements, we utilize a present value of future cash flows, leveraging a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments, for more information on our derivative instruments designed as cash flow hedges and their classification within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">(b) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis relate primarily to our tangible fixed assets, lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, goodwill and intangible assets. The fair values of these non-financial assets and liabilities are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparable information, and discounted cash flow projections. These non-financial assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, we incurred an impairment charge of $48.8 million and $62.2 million, respectively, related to our lease ROU assets and Property, equipment and leasehold improvements associated with vacating certain leased office space. For those locations we anticipate subleasing, we estimated the fair value of the lease ROU assets as of the cease use date, using a market approach, based on expected future cash flows from sublease income. To complete this assessment we relied on certain assumptions, which included estimates of the rental rate, period of vacancy, incentives and annual rent increases. We fully impaired the lease ROU assets for locations we will not sublease and substantially all the Property, equipment and leasehold improvements associated with the related vacated leased office space as there are no expected cash flows related to these items. Due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used, the fair value measurement for the asset impairments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">(c) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We elected not to carry our Long-term debt at fair value.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS<div style="margin-top:10pt">Cash Flow Hedges </div><div style="margin-top:10pt">Foreign Currency Forward Contracts</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We conduct business outside the U.S. in several currencies including the British Pound Sterling, Indian Rupee, Euro, and Philippine Peso. As such, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize derivative instruments (foreign currency forward contracts) to manage the exposures related to the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure is committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are only utilized for risk management purposes and are not used for speculative or trading purposes. We limit counterparties to credit-worthy financial institutions. Refer to Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies – Concentrations of Credit Risk, for further discussion on counterparty credit risk. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">In designing a specific hedging approach, we considered several factors, including offsetting exposures, the significance of exposures, the forecasting of risk and the potential effectiveness of the hedge. The gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts offset the variability in operating expenses associated with currency movements. The changes in fair value for these foreign currency forward contracts are initially reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") and subsequently reclassified into Operating expenses when the hedge is settled. There was no discontinuance of cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 or May 31, 2021, and as such, no corresponding gains or losses related to changes in the value of our contracts were reclassified into earnings prior to settlement. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of May 31, 2022, we maintained foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our exposures primarily related to the British Pound Sterling, Indian Rupee, Euro and Philippine Peso. We entered into a series of forward contracts to mitigate our currency exposure ranging from 25% to 75%, as of May 31, 2022, over their respective hedged periods. The current foreign currency forward contracts are set to mature at various points between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 through the third quarter of fiscal 2023.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of May 31, 2022, the gross notional value of foreign currency forward contracts to purchase Philippine Pesos and Indian Rupees with U.S. dollars was ₱1.4 billion and Rs2.6 billion, respectively. The gross notional value of foreign currency forward contracts to purchase Euros and British Pound Sterling with U.S. dollars was €37.4 million and £41.2 million, respectively.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Swap Agreement</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">2020 Swap Agreement</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">On March 5, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement ("2020 Swap Agreement") with a notional amount of $287.5 million. The 2020 Swap Agreement hedged a portion of our then outstanding floating LIBOR rate debt with a fixed interest rate of 0.7995% to mitigate our interest rate exposure. On March 1, 2022, we terminated the 2020 Swap Agreement, which resulted in a one-time benefit of $3.5 million recognized in Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, based on its fair market value. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">2022 Swap Agreement</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">On March 1, 2022, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement ("2022 Swap Agreement") with a notional amount of $800.0 million. The 2022 Swap Agreement hedges a portion of our outstanding floating Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rate debt with a fixed interest rate of 1.162% to maintain an intended fixed to floating interest rate ratio. The notional amount of the 2022 Swap Agreement will decline by $100.0 million on a quarterly basis, to align with our expected debt balances, beginning May 31, 2022 and maturing on February 28, 2024. As of May 31, 2022, the notional amount of the 2022 Swap Agreement was $700.0 million. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We have designated and accounted for this instrument as a cash flow hedge with the unrealized gains or losses on the 2022 Swap Agreement recorded in AOCL in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains or losses are subsequently reclassified into Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income when settled. Since its inception on March 1, 2022 and through May 31, 2022, the interest rate swap was considered highly effective.

ACQUISITIONS<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">During fiscal 2022 and 2021, we completed acquisitions of several businesses, with the most significant cash flows related to the acquisitions of CUSIP Global Services ("CGS"), Cobalt Software, Inc. ("Cobalt") and Truvalue Labs, Inc. ("TVL"). </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">CUSIP Global Services</div><div style="text-align:justify">On March 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of CGS, previously operated by S&P Global Inc. on behalf of the American Bankers Association ("ABA"), for a cash purchase price of $1.932 billion, inclusive of preliminary working capital adjustments. CGS manages a database of 60 different data elements uniquely identifying more than 50 million global financial instruments. It is the foundation for security master files relied on by critical front, middle and back-office functions. CGS is the exclusive provider of Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures ("CUSIP") and CUSIP International Number System ("CINS") identifiers globally and also acts as the official numbering agency for International Securities Identification Number ("ISIN") identifiers in the United States and as a substitute number agency for more than 35 other countries. We anticipate that the CGS acquisition will significantly expand our critical role in the global capital markets. The CGS purchase price was in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase price for CGS as soon as possible, but in any event, no later than one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired and the finalization of working capital adjustments.</div><div

indefinite life. At least annually, we are required to test goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is consistent with our segments, for potential impairment, and, if impaired, we write down our goodwill to fair value based on the present value of discounted cash flows. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 utilizing a qualitative analysis, consistent with the timing of previous years. We concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our segments was greater than its respective carrying value and no impairment charge was required.

The weighted average useful life of our intangible assets excluding those acquired from CGS at May 31, 2022 was 9.9 years. We assess intangible assets for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis, including an evaluation of our useful lives to determine if events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If indicators of impairment are present, amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value to undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows.

LEASESOn September 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). As part of this adoption, we elected not to record operating lease ROU assets or operating lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. We elected the practical expedient not to separate lease components from non-lease components but, rather, to combine them into one 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). 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. <div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our lease portfolio is primarily related to our office space, under various operating lease agreements. Our lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments at lease commencement (which includes fixed lease payments and certain qualifying index-based variable payments) over the reasonably certain lease term, leveraging an estimated incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"). Certain adjustments to our lease ROU assets may be required for items such as the payment of initial direct costs or incentives received. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of May 31, 2022, we recognized $176.9 million of Lease right-of-use assets, net and $257.8 million of combined Current lease liabilities and Long-term lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such leases have a remaining lease term ranging from less than one year to just under 14 years and did not include any renewal or termination options that were not yet reasonably certain to be exercised.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt">The following table reconciles our future undiscounted cash flows related to our operating leases and the reconciliation to the combined Current lease

In addition, the 2019 Credit Agreement required that we maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio, as measured by total net funded debt/EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) below a specified level as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

The 2022 Term Facility matures on March 1, 2025, and the 2022 Revolving Facility matures on March 1, 2027. The 2022 Revolving Facility allows for the availability of up to $100.0 million in the form of letters of credit and up to $50.0 million in the form of swingline loans.

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">Purchase Commitments with Suppliers and Vendors</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Purchase obligations represent our legally-binding agreements to purchase fixed or minimum quantities at determinable prices. Our purchase obligations consist of two primary arrangements, data content and hosting services. As of August 31, 2021, we had total purchase commitments with suppliers of $191.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into a software subscription agreement with total purchase commitments of approximately $10 million with a contract term of three years. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into a cloud hosting contract with total purchase commitments of approximately $275.0 million with a contract term of six years. This cloud hosting contract replaced a previous contract which was included in the total purchase commitments as of August 31, 2021, with a minimum purchase commitment of $125.0 million. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We also have contractual obligations related to our lease liabilities and outstanding debt. Refer to Note 11, Leases and Note 12, Debt for further information.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Letters of Credit</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-align:justify">From time to time, we are required to obtain letters of credit in the ordinary course of business. As of May 31, 2022, we had approximately $0.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. Refer to Note 12, Debt for more information on these covenants. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt">Contingencies</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Income Taxes</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify">Uncertain income tax positions are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, for further details. We are currently under audit by tax 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 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-bottom:1pt;text-align:justify">Legal Matters</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify">We accrue non-income tax liabilities for contingencies when management believes that a loss is probable, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Contingent gains are recognized only when realized. We are engaged in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including employment matters, commercial and intellectual property litigation. The outcome of all the matters against us are subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information available as of May 31, 2022, 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">Sales Tax Matters</div><div style="margin-top:1pt;text-align:justify">On August 8, 2019, we received a Notice of Intent to Assess (the "First Notice") additional sales taxes, interest and underpayment penalties from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue (the "Commonwealth") relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013. On July 20, 2021, we received a Notice of Intent to Assess (the "Second Notice," cumulatively with the First Notice, the "Notices") additional sales taxes, interest and underpayment penalties from the Commonwealth relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018. Based upon the Notices, it is the Commonwealth's intention to assess sales tax, interest and underpayment penalties on previously recorded sales transactions. We have filed an appeal to the Notices and intend to contest any such assessment, if assessed. We continue to cooperate with the Commonwealth's inquiry with respect to the Notices. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">On August 10, 2021, we received a letter (the "Letter") from the Commonwealth relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, requesting additional sales information to determine if a notice of intent to assess should be issued to FactSet with respect to these tax periods. Based upon a preliminary review of the Letter, we believe the Commonwealth might seek to assess sales tax, interest and underpayment penalties on previously recorded sales transactions. We are cooperating with the Commonwealth's inquiry with respect to the Letter.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Due to the uncertainty surrounding the assessment process for both the Notices and Letter, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of these matters and, as such, have not recorded a liability for any of these matters as of May 31, 2022. We believe that we will ultimately prevail if we are presented with a formal assessment for any of these matters; however, if we do not prevail, the amount of any assessment could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Indemnifications</div><div style="text-align:justify">As permitted or required under Delaware law and to the maximum extent allowable under that law, we have certain obligations to indemnify our current and former officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. These indemnification obligations are valid as long as the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of FactSet, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that we believe mitigates our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations is immaterial.</div><div style="text-align:justify">Concentrations of Credit Risk</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Cash equivalents</div><div style="text-align:justify">Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. We are exposed to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions in the event of a default, to the extent that such amounts are in excess of applicable insurance limits. We have not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of such limits. We do not believe our concentration of cash and cash equivalents presents a significant credit risk as the counterparties to the instruments consist of multiple high-quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounts Receivable</div><div style="margin-top:1pt;text-align:justify">Our accounts receivable are subject to collection risk as they are unsecured and derived from revenues earned from clients located around the globe. We do not require collateral from our clients. We maintain reserves for potential write-offs and evaluate the adequacy of the reserves on a quarterly basis. These losses have historically been within expectations. No single client represented more than 3% of our total revenues in any period presented. As of May 31, 2022, the receivable reserve was $3.4 million compared with $6.4 million as of August 31, 2021.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Derivative Instruments</div><div style="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 credit-worthy financial institutions and distribute contracts among these institutions to reduce the concentration of credit 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 Other Risk</div><div style="margin-top:10pt">Data Content Providers</div><div style="text-align:justify">We integrate data from various third-party sources into our hosted proprietary data and analytics platform, which our clients access to perform their analyses. 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 in order to meet the needs of our clients, with only two data suppliers each representing more than 10% of our total data costs for the nine months ended May 31, 2022.</div>
