BR Q1 fiscal 2027 results
In one sentence
Broadridge reported revenue of $1.7 billion for Q1 fiscal 2027, up 5% from a year earlier (Broadridge, Nov 3, 2026).
| Measure | Q1 fiscal 2027 | Q1 fiscal 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $1,669 million | $1,589 million | up 5% |
| Diluted EPS (GAAP) | $0.83 | $1.40 | down 41% |
| Diluted EPS (Adjusted) | $1.56 | $1.51 | up 3% |
| Net income | $94.8 million | $165 million | down 43% |
The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Broadridge published the results on November 3, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q1 fiscal 2026, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Broadridge reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and Adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.
- Broadridge's fiscal year ends June 30, so Q1 fiscal 2027 is the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
- GAAP results include non-cash losses on digital assets of $40 million, against a gain of $46 million a year earlier. Broadridge excludes these from its adjusted measures and from its guidance.

BR revenue by segment
How Broadridge splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q1 fiscal 2027 against Q1 fiscal 2026. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

- Broadridge's Investor Communication Solutions revenue was $1.2 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027, up 2% from $1.1 billion in Q1 fiscal 2026, 69% of total revenue.
- Broadridge's Global Technology and Operations revenue was $516 million in Q1 fiscal 2027, up 12% from $460 million in Q1 fiscal 2026, 31% of total revenue.
Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.
Broadridge's outlook for Fiscal 2027

What Broadridge's revenue is made of
Broadridge splits revenue by type. Of the $1,668.7 million total in Q1 fiscal 2027, Recurring revenues were $1,083.1 million, Event-driven revenues $67.4 million and Distribution revenues $518.2 million. Recurring revenues grew 11%, with 9 points of that from Organic growth. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
Investor Communication Solutions (ICS) revenue was $1,153.2 million, up 2%. Its Regulatory recurring revenue rose 17% to $230.3 million, on equity revenue position growth of 11% and mutual fund/ETF position growth of 16%, and Data-driven fund solutions rose 10% to $121.6 million, helped by the Acolin and iJoin acquisitions. Event-driven revenues fell 41% because mutual fund proxy revenue dropped to $33.6 million from $89.8 million, and Distribution revenues rose 4%, mostly from postage rate increases of approximately $18 million. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
Global Technology and Operations (GTO) is all recurring revenue: $515.5 million, up 12% (13% in constant currency, 10 points organic and 3 points from the CQG acquisition). Capital markets rose 17% to $327.2 million, including a 4 point benefit from higher software term license revenues, and Wealth and investment management rose 5% to $188.3 million. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
ICS is the larger segment, approximately 74% of Broadridge's total revenues in fiscal 2026. The majority of Broadridge's clients operate in financial services, and its largest single client accounted for approximately 7% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2026. Distribution cost of revenues consists primarily of postage-related expenses in ICS, so Distribution revenue moves with mailing volumes and postal rates. (Broadridge Form 10-K, fiscal 2026, Aug 4, 2026)
What Broadridge's EPS includes
Broadridge's GAAP diluted EPS fell to $0.83 from $1.40, while Adjusted EPS rose 3% to $1.56. The largest adjustments per share were Gains or Losses on Digital Assets ($0.35, a $40.2 million loss against a $45.8 million gain a year earlier), amortization of acquired intangibles and purchased intellectual property ($0.34), Restructuring and Other Related Costs ($0.13) and acquisition and integration costs ($0.02), less a tax impact of $0.12. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
The digital asset line comes from the Canton Network, where Broadridge earns Canton Coins as a Super Validator and Validator. It held 1.5 billion coins with a fair value of $185.0 million at September 30, 2026, against $216.1 million at June 30, 2026. The $15.2 million of restructuring costs was severance for workforce actions that Broadridge says result in part from its AI and productivity initiatives. (Broadridge Form 10-Q, Q1 FY27, Nov 3, 2026; Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
The effective tax rate fell to 13.6% from 22.4% on larger discrete tax benefits. Diluted shares were 114.3 million against 118.0 million a year earlier. Broadridge repurchased 1,137,696 shares at an average price of $175.81 in the quarter, about $200 million, paid $111 million in dividends and had $1.3 billion left under its 2026 Share Repurchase Program. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026; Broadridge Form 10-Q, Q1 FY27, Nov 3, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Broadridge
Broadridge publishes full-year guidance in its release and left every line unchanged in Q1 fiscal 2027: Recurring revenue growth in constant currency of 6 - 8%, Adjusted Operating income margin of ~21%, Adjusted EPS growth of 8 - 12%, Free cash flow conversion of 100%+ and Closed sales of $290 - $330 million. On a GAAP basis it expects an operating income margin of ~19% and diluted EPS down 4% to 8%. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
Broadridge excludes digital asset gains and losses from its guidance because they cannot be forecast. It will host an Investor Day on December 8, 2026 in New York City, where it plans to give new three-year financial objectives. (Broadridge Q1 FY27 release, Nov 3, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Broadridge, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check BR's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Broadridge published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.

+
Broadridge's next report is expected around February 2, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not confirmed. This page carries Q1 fiscal 2027 until those results are out and checked against the release.
Where does Broadridge's revenue come from?
+
Broadridge's Investor Communication Solutions revenue was $1.2 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027, up 2% from $1.1 billion in Q1 fiscal 2026, 69% of total revenue. Broadridge's Global Technology and Operations revenue was $516 million in Q1 fiscal 2027, up 12% from $460 million in Q1 fiscal 2026, 31% of total revenue. These are the lines of Broadridge's own "revenues by segment" table for Q1 fiscal 2027.
How much did Broadridge's revenue grow last quarter?
+
Up 5% on the year: $1,669 million in Q1 fiscal 2027 against $1,589 million in Q1 fiscal 2026. That is the year-over-year comparison, the same quarter a year apart, so seasonal patterns in Broadridge's business do not distort it.
What is the difference between Broadridge's GAAP and Adjusted EPS?
+
GAAP EPS follows US accounting rules and is the figure in the audited statements. Broadridge's Adjusted EPS starts from it and removes items the company considers outside its operating results; the release lists each adjustment in a reconciliation table. For Q1 fiscal 2027 the two were $0.83 and $1.56. Analysts' EPS estimates are usually built on the adjusted figure, so check which one a headline compares before you repeat it.
Why is Broadridge's quarter called Q1 fiscal 2027?
+
Broadridge's fiscal year does not follow the calendar year, so Q1 fiscal 2027 is the quarter that ended September 30, 2026. When you compare BR with a company that reports on the calendar year, line quarters up by the date they ended, not by their names.
Where do the BR numbers on this page come from?
+
From Broadridge's own results release and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, copied as printed, in millions of US dollars. Percent changes are worked out from those figures and rounded to a whole percent, which matches how the release states them. Nothing on this page is an estimate except the consensus, which is labelled with its source and date.
