“In the fourth quarter, MSCI delivered strong results while achieving a number of key milestones, including our 11th straight year of double-digit adjusted EPS growth, a record asset-based-fee run rate driven by record inflows into ETF products linked to our indexes, and our best-ever quarter for recurring sales in Index,” said Henry A. Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of MSCI.

“MSCI’s deep-rooted competitive advantages have helped us build momentum across product lines and client segments. With emerging client segments, in particular, we are doubling down on key opportunities while reinforcing our role as the essential intelligence layer of global investing. As a result, MSCI is well positioned to benefit from AI and use it to increase the value of our solutions,” Fernandez added.

Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results

Operating Revenues: Operating revenues were $822.5 million, up 10.6%. Organic operating revenue growth was 10.2%. The $79.0 million increase was driven by $40.9 million in higher recurring subscription revenues, $36.3 million in higher asset-based fees and a $1.8 million increase in non-recurring revenues.

Run Rate and Retention Rate: Total Run Rate at December 31, 2025 was $3,301.6 million, up 13.0%. Recurring subscription Run Rate increased by $206.0 million and asset-based fees Run Rate increased by $173.9 million. Organic recurring subscription Run Rate growth was 7.7%. Retention Rate in fourth quarter 2025 was 93.4%, compared to 93.1% in fourth quarter 2024.

Expenses: Total operating expenses were $358.9 million, up 6.1%. Adjusted EBITDA expenses were $310.5 million, up 6.6%, primarily reflecting higher compensation and benefits costs as a result of increased headcount costs as well as higher severance costs. The increase was also driven by higher non-compensation costs, primarily reflecting higher information technology and occupancy costs.

Total operating expenses excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (“ex-FX”) and adjusted EBITDA expenses ex-FX increased 4.7% and 5.1%, respectively.

Operating Income: Operating income was $463.6 million, up 14.4%. Operating income margin in fourth quarter 2025 was 56.4%, compared to 54.5% in fourth quarter 2024.

Headcount: As of December 31, 2025, we had 6,268 employees, reflecting a 2.2% increase, with 29% and 71% of employees located in developed market and emerging market locations, respectively.

Other Expense (Income), Net: Other expense (income), net was $74.8 million in fourth quarter 2025, as compared to $41.8 million for the fourth quarter 2024, primarily driven by higher interest expenses reflecting higher debt levels and an $11.8 million loss resulting from the full write-off of the investment in a minority investee.

Income Taxes: In the fourth quarter 2025, the effective tax rate was 26.8% compared to 15.9% in the fourth quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a 9.6% impact from the recognition of a deferred intercompany gain related to an internal legal entity restructuring completed on January 4, 2026. The Company expects to recognize a discrete tax benefit of approximately $88 million in 2026 related to the subsequent phases of the internal legal entity restructuring subject to adjustment pending finalization of tax calculations.

Net Income: As a result of the factors described above, net income was $284.7 million, down 6.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $512.0 million, up 13.2%. Adjusted EBITDA margin in fourth quarter 2025 was 62.2%, compared to 60.8% in fourth quarter 2024.

Index operating revenues were $479.1 million, up 14.0%. The $58.9 million increase was driven by $36.3 million in higher asset-based fees, $17.9 million in higher recurring subscription revenues and a $4.6 million increase in non-recurring revenues. Organic operating revenue growth for Index was 14.0%.

The growth in recurring subscription revenues was primarily driven by growth from market-cap weighted Index products.

The growth in revenues attributed to asset-based fees were primarily driven by ETFs linked to MSCI equity indexes and non-ETF indexed funds linked to MSCI indexes, primarily due to an increase in average AUM, partially offset by a decrease in average basis point fees.

Index Run Rate as of December 31, 2025 was $1.9 billion, up 16.2%. The $261.3 million increase was comprised of a $173.9 million increase in asset-based fees and a $87.4 million increase in recurring subscription Run Rate. The increase in asset-based fees Run Rate was primarily driven by higher AUM in ETFs linked to MSCI equity indexes and non-ETF indexed funds linked to MSCI indexes. The increase in recurring subscription Run Rate was primarily driven by growth from market cap-weighted and custom Index products. The increase reflected growth across all regions and client segments. Organic recurring subscription Run Rate growth for Index was 9.3%.

Full-Year 2026 Guidance

MSCI's guidance for the year ending December 31, 2026 (“Full-Year 2026”) is based on assumptions about a number of factors, in particular related to macroeconomic factors and the capital markets.

Notes Regarding the Use of Operating Metrics

MSCI has presented supplemental key operating metrics as part of this earnings release, including Run Rate, Retention Rate, subscription sales, subscription cancellations and non-recurring sales.

A substantial portion of MSCI’s operating revenues is derived from recurring subscriptions or licenses for products and services that are ongoing in nature and provided over contractually agreed periods, which are subject to renewal or cancellation upon the expiration of the then-current term. In addition, we generate non-recurring revenues from one-time sales and other transactions or services that are discrete in nature or that have a defined life. The operating metrics defined below help management assess the stability and growth of this recurring-revenue base and track non-recurring revenues. There have been no changes to the methodologies used to compute these metrics compared with prior periods.

Run Rate estimates, at a specific point in time, the annualized value of the recurring portion of executed client contracts (“Client Contracts”) expected to generate revenues over the next 12 months, assuming that all such Client Contracts are renewed and using fixed foreign exchange rates. Run Rate includes new Client Contracts upon execution, even if the license start date and related revenue recognition occur later.

For Client Contracts where fees are linked to an investment product’s assets or trading volume or fees (referred to as “Asset-based Fees”), the Run Rate calculation is based on:

Run Rate excludes fees associated with one-time or other non-recurring transactions.

We remove from Run Rate the annualized fee value associated with products or services under any Client Contracts when (i) we have received a notice of termination, reduction in fees, non-renewal or other clear indication that the client does not intend to continue its subscription at then current fees; and (ii) management has determined that such notice or indication reflects the client’s final decision to terminate, not renew or renew at a lower fee the applicable products or services, even if such termination or non-renewal is not yet effective (each such event, a “Subscription Cancellation”).

In general, when a client reduces the fees paid to MSCI associated with a reduction in the number of products or services to which it subscribes within a segment, or a switch between products or services within a segment, unless the client switches to a product or service that management considers a replacement, such reduction or switch is treated as a Subscription Cancellation, including for purposes of calculating MSCI’s Retention Rate (as detailed below). In the cases where the client switches products or services to a replacement service, only the net decrease, if any, is reported as a cancellation.

Organic recurring subscription Run Rate growth is defined as the period-over-period growth in Run Rate, excluding:

Retention Rate is a key performance metric that provides insight into the stability and durability of MSCI’s recurring revenue base. Subscription cancellations reduce Run Rate and, over time, lower future operating revenues.

For full-year periods, Retention Rate is calculated as the retained subscription Run Rate, which is defined as the subscription Run Rate at the beginning of the fiscal year minus actual subscription cancellations during the fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of the subscription Run Rate at the beginning of the fiscal year.

For interim (non-annual) periods, Retention Rate is presented on an annualized basis. The annualized Retention Rate is calculated by:

Retention Rate is calculated by operating segment and is based on an individual product or service level within each segment. We do not calculate Retention Rate for the portion of Run Rate attributable to Asset-based Fees.

Sales represents the annualized value of products and services that clients have committed to purchase from MSCI and that are expected to result in additional operating revenues.

Non-recurring sales represent the aggregate value of client agreements entered into during the period that generate non-recurring fees and are not included in Run Rate (as defined elsewhere herein), even if such agreements span multiple periods or years.

New recurring subscription sales represent the annualized value of additional client commitments entered into during the period - such as new Client Contracts, expansions of existing Client Contracts or price increases - that contribute to Run Rate.

Net new recurring subscription sales represent new recurring subscription sales minus the impact of Subscription Cancellations, capturing the net impact to Run Rate for the period.

Total gross sales is the sum of new recurring subscription sales and non-recurring sales.

Total net sales is total gross sales minus the impact of Subscription Cancellations.

Starting from third quarter 2025, MSCI updated the presentation of certain client segments to align with our client-servicing and go-to-market approaches. The commentary regarding Run Rate in this earnings release reflects these updated client segments. These changes are presentation updates only and do not impact MSCI’s GAAP operating segments, reported revenues, or consolidated Subscription Run Rate for any period presented.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MSCI has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. Reconciliations are provided in Tables 9 through 14 below that reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release should not be considered as alternative measures for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release are used by management to monitor the financial performance of the business, inform business decision-making and forecast future results.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income before (1) provision for income taxes, (2) other expense (income), net, (3) depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, (4) amortization of intangible assets and, at times, (5) certain other transactions or adjustments, including, when applicable, certain acquisition-related integration and transaction costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA expenses” is defined as operating expenses less depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and leasehold improvements and amortization of intangible assets and, at times, certain other transactions or adjustments, including, when applicable, certain acquisition-related integration and transaction costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by operating revenues.

“Adjusted net income” and “adjusted EPS” are defined as net income and diluted EPS, respectively, before the after-tax impact of: the amortization of acquired intangible assets and, at times, certain other transactions or adjustments, including, when applicable, the impact related to certain acquisition-related integration and transaction costs, the impact related to the write-off of deferred fees on debt extinguishment, the impact related to certain gains or losses on investees, and the impact of certain discrete tax items.

“Capex” is defined as capital expenditures plus capitalized software development costs.

“Free cash flow” is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less Capex.

“Organic operating revenue growth” is defined as operating revenue growth compared to the prior year period excluding the impact of acquired businesses, divested businesses and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Asset-based fees ex-FX does not adjust for the impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the underlying assets under management (“AUM”).

We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA expenses are meaningful measures of the operating performance of MSCI because they adjust for significant one-time, unusual or non-recurring items as well as eliminate the accounting effects of certain capital spending and acquisitions that do not directly affect what management considers to be our ongoing operating performance in the period.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are meaningful measures of the performance of MSCI because they adjust for the after-tax impact of significant one-time, unusual or non-recurring items as well as eliminate the impact of any transactions that do not directly affect what management considers to be our ongoing operating performance in the period. We also exclude the after-tax impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and amortization of the basis difference between the cost of the equity method investment and MSCI’s share of the net assets of the investee at historical carrying value, as these non-cash amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of each acquisition and therefore not meaningful to the ongoing operating performance in the period.

We believe that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow of MSCI to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations, such as investment in MSCI’s existing products. Further, free cash flow indicates our ability to strengthen MSCI’s balance sheet, repay our debt obligations, pay cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock.

We believe organic operating revenue growth is a meaningful measure of the operating performance of MSCI because it adjusts for the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and excludes the impact of operating revenues attributable to acquired and divested businesses for the comparable prior year period, providing insight into our ongoing operating performance for the period(s) presented.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release facilitate meaningful period-to-period comparisons and provide a baseline for the evaluation of future results.

Adjusted EBITDA expenses, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, Capex, free cash flow and organic operating revenue growth are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. These measures can differ significantly from company to company depending on, among other things, long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Accordingly, the Company’s computation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures computed by other companies.

Notes Regarding Adjusting for the Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations reflect the difference between the current period results as reported compared to the current period results recalculated using the foreign currency exchange rates in effect for the comparable prior period. While operating revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations includes asset-based fees that have been adjusted for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, the underlying AUM, which is the primary component of asset-based fees, is not adjusted for foreign currency fluctuations. Approximately three-fifths of the AUM is invested in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and any such impact is excluded from the disclosed foreign currency-adjusted variances.

(2) This adjustment reflects discrete income tax expense recognized in connection with a multi-phase internal legal entity restructuring that commenced in Q4 2025 and was completed on January 4, 2026. In Q4 2025, the Company recognized discrete tax expense of $38 million related to the first phase, and expects to recognize a discrete tax benefit of approximately $88 million in 2026 related to the subsequent phases of this internal legal entity restructuring. Management excludes these discrete tax effects from non-GAAP results because they are not indicative of ongoing operating performance or the Company’s underlying tax profile. Amounts relating to 2026 tax impacts are preliminary and subject to adjustment pending finalization of tax calculations related to the restructuring.

(3) Adjustments relate to the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, other than the tax impact of internal legal entity restructuring which is reflected above, which were determined based on the nature of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments and their relevant jurisdictional tax rates.

(1) We have not provided a line-item reconciliation for free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities for this future period because we believe such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and we are unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above.
