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 unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements; as such, the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries; all intercompany activity and balances have been eliminated.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments, transactions or events discretely impacting the interim periods considered necessary to present fairly our results of operations, financial position, cash flows and equity. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Reclassifications</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">In the Consolidated Statements of Income, we reclassified comparative figures for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 from both Selling, general and administrative and Cost of services to Asset impairments, primarily related to the impairment of our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and property, equipment and leasehold improvements, to conform to the current year's 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 </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates may have been made in areas that include income taxes, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets, business combinations, long-lived assets, contingencies and impairment assessments. 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 assets and liabilities.

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 credit risk is dependent upon the financial stability of our individual clients; however, this risk is generally limited due to our large and geographically dispersed client base.

To mitigate credit risk, we limit counterparties to credit-worthy financial institutions and use several institutions to reduce concentration risk.

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 six months ended February 28, 2023.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We did not adopt any new standards or updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") during the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 that had a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of February 28, 2023 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div>

REVENUE RECOGNITION<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We derive most of our revenues by providing client access to our multi-asset class solutions, powered by our content refinery, over the associated 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 our CGS platform, we provide subscription access to a database of universally recognized identifiers, enabling 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 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 these platforms, we apply an output time-based measure of progress as the client is simultaneously receiving and consuming the </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">benefits of the platform. We recognize revenue for the majority of these platforms in accordance with the 'as invoiced' practical expedient as the amount of consideration that we have the right to invoice corresponds directly with the value of our performance to date.</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 products and services, which are recoverable. Fulfillment costs are recognized as an asset, with the current portion recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the non-current portion recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, 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. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">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. Segment revenues reflect sales to our clients based on their respective geographic locations.

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. </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">(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 February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022. We did not have any transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented below. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022.</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. 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 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. Refer to Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for more information on our derivative instruments 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 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 their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Asset impairments incurred during the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 were $10.3 million and $14.0 million, respectively, with no similar level of impairment recorded during the three and six ended February 28, 2023. The asset impairments recognized during the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 included a respective $9.7 million and $13.4 million charge related to our lease ROU assets and property, equipment and leasehold improvements associated with vacating certain leased office space. For those locations we anticipated 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.

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. 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 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS<div style="margin-top:10pt">Cash Flow Hedges </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">In designing our hedging approach, we consider several factors, including offsetting exposures, the significance of exposures, the forecasting of risk and the potential effectiveness of the hedge to reduce the volatility of our earnings and cash flows. 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 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Concentrations of Credit Risk, for further discussion on counterparty credit risk. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We leverage foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to mitigate certain operational exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to manage our interest rate exposure. We have designated and accounted for these derivatives as cash flow hedges with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL"), net of tax, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains or losses resulting from settlement of our forward contracts and swap agreements are subsequently reclassified into Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") and Interest expense, net, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income when the hedges are settled.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt">Foreign Currency Forward Contracts</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As we conduct business outside the U.S. in several currencies, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts offset the variability in operating expenses associated with currency movements. As of February 28, 2023, we maintained a series of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our exposures related to our primary currencies of the British Pound Sterling, Indian Rupee, Euro and Philippine Peso. We entered into these contracts to mitigate our currency exposure ranging from 25% to 75%, over their respective hedged periods, which are set to mature at various points between the third quarter of fiscal 2023 through the second quarter of fiscal 2024.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">The following table summarizes the gross notional value of foreign currency forward

ACQUISITIONS<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">During fiscal 2022, we completed acquisitions of CUSIP Global Services ("CGS") and Cobalt Software, Inc.

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, operating on behalf of the American Bankers Association ("ABA"), is the 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 believe 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 finalized the purchase accounting for the CGS acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and did not record any material changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation. </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 2022 utilizing a qualitative analysis, consistent with the timing and methodology of previous years. We concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our segments was not less than its respective carrying value and no impairment charge was required.

The weighted average useful life of our intangible assets at February 28, 2023, excluding those acquired from CGS, was 9.3 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.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pretax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets, then adjusted for any discrete items.

For all periods presented, our effective tax rate was lower than the applicable U.S. corporate income tax rate, mainly due to research and development ("R&D") tax credits, a foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") deduction, and a tax benefit from the exercise of stock options. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Our effective tax rate during the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 was higher than the rate during the respective prior year periods, due mainly to a decrease in the impact of tax attributes on the effective tax rate as a result of an increase in income, a lower tax benefit from the exercise of stock options and an increase in the U.K.'s enacted tax rates. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Inflation Reduction Act of 2022</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was signed into law.

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. We may seek additional commitments under the 2022 Revolving Facility from lenders or other financial institutions up to an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million.</div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We pay a commitment fee on the daily unused amount of the 2022 Revolving Facility using a pricing grid based on our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt rating and our total leverage ratio.

Debt issuance costs are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Debt issuance costs are amortized to Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We may voluntarily prepay loans under the 2022 Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty.

The outcome of all the matters against us are subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information available at February 28, 2023, 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">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 nor 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">Sales Tax Matters</div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><div style="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 (the “Sales Taxes”) 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") additional Sales Taxes from the Commonwealth relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018. On December 29, 2022, we received a Notice of Intent to Assess (the “Third Notice"; cumulatively with the First and Second Notices, the “Notices”) additional Sales Taxes from the Commonwealth relating to the tax periods from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021. We have filed an appeal with respect to the Notices to contest all Sales Taxes that may be assessed. We continue to cooperate with the Commonwealth's inquiry with respect to the Notices. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We have concluded that a payment to the Commonwealth is probable. We have recorded an accrual which is not material to our consolidated financial statements. While we believe that the assumptions and estimates used to determine the accrual are reasonable, future developments could result in adjustments being made to this accrual. If we are presented with a formal assessment for any of these matters, we believe that we will ultimately prevail; 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"> </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 each of 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 </div>with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount for claims made under the indemnification obligations due to the unique set of facts and circumstances likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision; however, we have purchased a director and officer insurance policy that mitigates our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under such indemnification obligations.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION<div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We measure compensation expense based on the grant date fair value for all stock-based awards made to our employees and to our non-employee directors ("non-employees") using the Black-Scholes model or the lattice-binomial option-pricing model ("binomial model"). </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">We utilize the Black-Scholes model for grants of non-employee stock options and non-employee restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and common stock acquired under the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended and Restated ("ESPP"). We use the binomial model for grants of employee stock options and employee RSUs and PSUs. We refer to RSUs and PSUs, collectively, as "Restricted Stock Awards."</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">Both models 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 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">Additionally, the binomial model incorporates market conditions, vesting restrictions and exercise patterns.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For 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 the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying stock during the requisite service period, discounted at the appropriate risk-free interest rate.</div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">For stock-based awards, we use the straight-line method to recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The amount of compensation expense that is recognized on any date is at least equal to the vested portion of the award on that date. Compensation expense for PSUs is recognized if the achievement of the performance condition is determined to be probable. We review the PSU performance conditions quarterly to ensure the compensation expense appropriately reflects the Company's expected achievement, as these awards are subject to upward or downward adjustment depending on whether the actual financial performance is above or below target levels, with the PSU payout ranging from 0% to 150% of the number of target shares. 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">We recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $15.3 million and $15.5 million during the three months ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $27.5 million and $25.9 million, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify">As of February 28, 2023, $139.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.
