S&P Global Reports Third Quarter Results

New York, NY, October 30, 2025 – S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today reported third quarter results. This earnings release and supplemental materials are available at http://investor.spglobal.com/Quarterly-Earnings.

The Company reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $3.888 billion, an increase of 9% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter GAAP net income increased 21% to $1.176 billion and GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 24% to $3.86. Adjusted net income for the third quarter increased 19% to $1.442 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 22% to $4.73. Higher net income was driven primarily by strong growth in Ratings and Market Intelligence, on both a GAAP and adjusted basis.

In a release dated October 15, the Company announced an agreement to acquire With Intelligence for $1.8 billion. This acquisition is expected to accelerate the strong growth in Market Intelligence, and supplement the organic innovation behind the Company's private markets solutions across all divisions.

The Company remains committed to optimizing the business portfolio to enhance strategic alignment, pursue high-growth profitable initiatives, and create long-term customer and shareholder value. In a separate release dated October 10 the Company announced the completion of the sale of OSTTRA. The Company is also announcing the divestiture of its Enterprise Data Management (EDM) and thinkFolio businesses, both within the Market Intelligence division, and both expected to close in the coming months. The previously announced spin of the Mobility division into a separate public company remains on track.

The Company is also announcing the retirement of Commodity Insights Co-President, Mark Eramo. Dave Ernsberger, currently Co-President of Commodity Insights, will assume the role of sole President. Mr. Eramo will serve as a special advisor through a transition period.

•The Company reported quarterly revenue of $3.888 billion, increasing 9% year over year.

•GAAP operating margin increased 300 basis points and adjusted operating margin increased 330 basis points, driving 24% growth in GAAP diluted EPS and 22% growth in adjusted diluted EPS, respectively, year over year.

•Since July, the Company has returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The Company expects to execute additional repurchases totaling $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, following our Investor Day.

•The Company's full-year 2025 guidance now calls for revenue growth of 7% - 8%, GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $14.80 - $15.05, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $17.60 - $17.85.

"S&P Global delivered exceptional financial results in the third quarter, with accelerating revenue growth and significant margin expansion.

As we focus on deep customer engagement and truly innovative approaches to creating customer value, we're consistently hearing that S&P is the partner of choice for the world's leading institutions.

Our teams continued the rapid pace of organic innovation in the quarter, and the acquisition of With Intelligence will help us accelerate our growth in private markets. We're excited to share more at our Investor Day about how our benchmarks, differentiated data, and brands, and our multi-year strategy are expected to drive profitable revenue growth in the coming years."

President and CEO

Third Quarter 2025 Revenue

Third-quarter revenue increased 9% year over year, representing an increase of over $300 million. This increase was driven primarily by Ratings and Market Intelligence. Revenue from subscription products increased 6%.

(1) Total revenue includes the impact of inter-segment eliminations of $47M and $51M in 3Q '24 and 3Q '25, respectively.

Third Quarter 2025 Operating Profit, Expense, and Operating Margin

Note: All presentations of revenue above refer to GAAP revenue. Adjusted financials refer to non-GAAP adjusted metrics in all periods.

The Company’s third-quarter reported operating profit margin increased by 300 basis points to 43.1%, and adjusted operating profit margin increased 330 basis points to 52.1%. Margin improvement on both a GAAP and adjusted basis was driven primarily by growth and margin expansion in the Company's Ratings and Market Intelligence divisions.

22%

Third quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 24% to $3.86 primarily due to a 21% increase in net income, and a 2% reduction in diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 22% to $4.73 due to a 19% increase in adjusted net income and a 2% decrease in diluted shares outstanding. Currency positively impacted both GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS by $0.03. The largest non-core adjustment to earnings in the third quarter of 2025 was for deal-related amortization.

Since reporting 2Q25 results in July, the Company has returned approximately $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, which contributed to the 2% reduction in average diluted shares noted above.

In addition to the above, the Company expects 2025 G10cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, of $5.4 - $5.6 billion. The Company expects G11adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items, of $5.6 - $5.8 billion. Both of these ranges are unchanged from prior guidance.

As a result of the stronger-than-expected results in the third quarter, and higher full-year expectations for revenue growth and profitability in multiple divisions, the Company is increasing the guidance ranges for Revenue growth, and GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS. Corporate unallocated expense is expected to be $65 million higher on a GAAP basis, compared to prior guidance in the range of $285 - $295 million. Corporate unallocated expense is expected to be $5 million lower on an adjusted basis, compared to prior guidance in the range of $205 - $215 million. As a result, the company is tightening the range for GAAP operating margin guidance from the prior range of 42.5% - 43.5%, and raising the guidance range for adjusted operating margin from the prior range of 48.5% - 49.5%.

The Company is raising guidance for GAAP diluted EPS from the previous range of $14.35 - $14.60 and raising guidance for adjusted diluted EPS from the previous range of $17.00 - $17.25. Other guidance metrics are unchanged from prior guidance.

GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted guidance include the impact of acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2024, and reflects the completion of the OSTTRA divestiture, as of October 10, 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted guidance excludes amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.

As previously announced, the Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.96.

Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company also refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted EPS; adjusted operating profit and margin; adjusted expenses; adjusted corporate unallocated expense; adjusted deal-related amortization; adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rate; organic revenue; organic constant currency revenue; cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items.

The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP on Exhibits 5, 7, and 8. The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

The Company's non-GAAP measures include adjustments that reflect how management views our businesses. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that, in the case of non-GAAP financial measures other than cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items, enables investors to better compare the Company's performance across periods, and management also uses these measures internally to assess the operating performance of its business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes and to decide how to allocate resources. The Company believes that the presentation of cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management and that such measures are useful in evaluating the cash available to us to prepay debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and repurchase stock. However, investors should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports.

Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made.

(a) Subscription revenue is primarily derived from distribution of data, valuation services, analytics, third party research, and credit ratings-related information through both feed and web-based channels, market data and market insights along with other information products and software term licenses, and Mobility's core information products.

Exhibit 6

(b) Non-subscription / transaction revenue is primarily related to ratings of publicly-issued debt and bank loan ratings.

(c) Non-transaction revenue is primarily related to surveillance of a credit rating, annual fees for customer relationship-based pricing programs, fees for entity credit ratings and global research and analytics at Crisil. Non-transaction revenue also includes an intersegment revenue elimination charged to Market Intelligence for the rights to use and distribute content and data developed by Ratings.

(d) Asset-linked fees is primarily related to fees based on assets underlying exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and insurance products.

(e) Sales usage-based royalty revenue is primarily related to trading based fees from exchange-traded derivatives and licensing proprietary market price data and price assessments to commodity exchanges.

(f) Recurring variable revenue represents revenue from contracts for services that specify a fee based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management, or the number of positions valued.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
