Richard J. Daly, president and chief executive officer, commented, "I am pleased with our performance in fiscal year 2015. The strong fourth quarter performance enabled Broadridge to achieve another record year driven by 10% growth in Adjusted Diluted EPS primarily from Net New Business and record recurring revenue closed sales, which grew 15%. The very strong recurring revenue closed sales results coupled with our exceptional client revenue retention levels highlight the value that Broadridge is creating for our clients."

Mr. Daly added, "Given our financial strength and confidence in the business, the Board has raised our annual dividend amount by 11% to $1.20 per share, representing the eighth consecutive annual increase in our dividend. Additionally, our strong free cash flows have enabled us to continue to return capital to our stockholders through increased levels of share repurchases, while also investing in our business by completing four tuck-in acquisitions during fiscal 2015."

Mr. Daly concluded, "Given the strong fiscal year 2015 performance, I remain confident in Broadridge's ability to continue to successfully execute our long term strategy and achieve our three-year performance objectives which, on a compounded annual growth rate basis, include recurring fee revenue growth of 7% to 10% and adjusted net earnings growth of 9% to 11%. Our fiscal year 2016 guidance is highlighted by planned strong recurring fee revenue growth of 10% to 12% and Adjusted Diluted earnings per share growth of 8% to 12%. This guidance is consistent with our three-year performance objectives. We believe we are well positioned to continue to generate sustainable top quartile total shareholder return going forward."

Revenues for the Investor Communication Solutions segment increased $48 million, or 7%, to $766 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to $718 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. The increase was attributable to higher recurring fee revenues which contributed $33 million, higher event-driven fee revenues which contributed $4 million, and an $11 million increase in distribution revenues.

Position growth, a component of internal growth, was 7% for mutual fund interim communications and 6% for annual equity proxy communications, compared to the same period in the prior year. Higher event-driven fee revenues were primarily from increased proxy contest activity.
