ITEM 1. | Business

Overview

Broadridge is a leading global provider of investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks/broker-dealers, mutual funds and corporate issuers. Our systems and services include investor

##### Table of Contents

communication solutions, and securities processing and operations outsourcing solutions. In short, we provide the infrastructure that helps the financial services industry operate. With 50 years of experience, we provide financial services firms with advanced, dependable, scalable and cost-effective integrated systems. Our systems help reduce the need for clients to make significant capital investments in operations infrastructure, thereby allowing them to increase their focus on core business activities.

We deliver a broad range of solutions that help our clients better serve their retail and institutional customers across the entire investment lifecycle, including pre-trade, trade, and post-trade processing. We serve a large and diverse client base across our four businesses: Bank/Broker-Dealer Communications, Mutual Fund and Retirement Solutions, Corporate Issuer Solutions, and Bank/Broker-Dealer Technology and Operations. Our businesses operate in our two business segments: Investor Communication Solutions and Securities Processing Solutions.

Investor Communication Solutions

Our Bank/Broker-Dealer Communications, Mutual Funds and Retirement Solutions and Corporate Issuer Solutions businesses operate within this segment. A large portion of our Investor Communication Solutions business involves the processing and distribution of proxy materials to investors in equity securities and mutual funds, as well as the facilitation of related vote processing. ProxyEdge®, our innovative electronic proxy delivery and voting solution for institutional investors and financial advisors, helps ensure the participation of the largest stockholders of many companies. We also provide the distribution of regulatory reports and corporate action/reorganization event information, as well as tax reporting solutions that help our clients meet their regulatory compliance needs. In addition, we provide financial information distribution and transaction reporting services to both financial institutions and securities issuers. These services include the processing and distribution of account statements and trade confirmations, traditional and personalized document fulfillment and content management services, marketing communications, and imaging, archival and workflow solutions that enable and enhance our clients’ communications with investors. All of these communications are delivered in paper or electronic form. In addition, Broadridge provides corporate issuers with registrar, stock transfer and record-keeping services.

| • |  | Bank/Broker-Dealer Communications: Broadridge is the leader in corporate governance activities, processing approximately 85 percent of the outstanding shares in the U.S. in the performance of our proxy services, and over 60 percent of the votes returned on shares distributed globally. We distribute more than one billion investor communications annually through a combination of physical and electronic channels.

| • |  | Mutual Fund and Retirement Solutions: Through our governance activities, Broadridge has a service relationship with every major mutual fund complex in the U.S. Broadridge is the leading independent provider of retirement fund processing and provides unique data-driven market intelligence, specialized marketing communications and fund governance.

| • |  | Corporate Issuer Solutions: Broadridge serves corporate issuers with a variety of their needs including proxy and transfer agency services, both domestically and globally.

Securities Processing Solutions

Our Bank/Broker-Dealer Technology and Operations business operates within this segment. We offer a suite of advanced computerized real-time transaction processing services that automate the securities transaction lifecycle, from desktop productivity tools, data aggregation, performance reporting, and portfolio management to order capture and execution, trade confirmation, settlement, and accounting. Our services help financial institutions efficiently and cost-effectively consolidate their books and records, gather and service assets under management, focus on their core businesses, and manage risk. With multi-currency capabilities, our Global Processing Solution supports real-time global trading of equity, option, mutual fund, and fixed income securities in established and emerging markets. In addition, our operations outsourcing solutions allow broker-dealers to

##### Table of Contents

outsource certain administrative functions relating to clearing and settlement, from order entry to trade matching and settlement, while maintaining their ability to finance and capitalize their business.

| • |  | Bank/Broker-Dealer Technology and Operations: Broadridge is the leading back- and middle-office securities processing platform for North American and global broker-dealers. Provided on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis, Broadridge’s platform is a global market solution, clearing and settling in over 50 countries. Broadridge processes on average over $4.5 trillion in equity and fixed income trades per day, including approximately 60 percent of U.S. fixed income trades.

In September 2011, the Company acquired Paladyne Systems, Inc. (“Paladyne”), a provider of buy-side technology solutions for the global investment management industry. The purchase price was $72.4 million, net of cash acquired.

History and Development of Our Company

We are the former Brokerage Services division of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”). Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADP on March 29, 2007 in anticipation of our spin-off from ADP. Five years ago, we spun off from ADP and began operating as an independent public company on March 30, 2007. Our company has 50 years of history of providing innovative solutions to financial services firms and publicly-held companies. In 1962, the Brokerage Services division of ADP opened for business with one client, processing an average of 300 trades per night. In 1979, we expanded our U.S.-based securities processing solutions to process Canadian securities.

We made significant additions to our Securities Processing Solutions business through two key acquisitions in the mid-1990s. In 1995, we acquired a London-based provider of multi-currency clearance and settlement services, to become a global supplier of transaction processing services. In 1996, we acquired a provider of institutional fixed income transaction processing systems.

We began offering our proxy services in 1989. The proxy services business, which started what has become our Investor Communication Solutions business, leveraged the information processing systems and infrastructure of our Securities Processing Solutions business. Our proxy services offering attracted 31 major clients in its first year of operations. In 1992, we acquired The Independent Election Corporation of America which further increased our proxy services capabilities. By 1999, we were handling over 90% of the investor communication distributions for all securities held of record by banks and broker-dealers in the U.S.—from proxy statements to annual reports. During the 1990s, we expanded our proxy services business to serve security owners of Canadian and United Kingdom issuers and we began offering a complete outsourced solution for international proxies.

In 1998, having previously provided print and distribution services as an accommodation to our securities processing and proxy clients, we decided to focus on account statement and reporting services. In 2001, we developed and released PostEdge® to meet the need for electronic distribution and archiving of all investor communications.

In 2004, we purchased Bank of America Corporation’s U.S. Clearing and Broker-Dealer Services businesses, which enabled us to provide securities clearing and operations outsourcing services through our subsidiary, Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (“Ridge”). In 2010, Ridge sold the contracts of substantially all of its securities clearing clients and no longer performs securities clearing services for correspondent broker-dealers. Our operations outsourcing services are now part of our Securities Processing Solutions business.

The Broadridge Business

Investor Communication Solutions

A majority of publicly-traded shares are not registered in companies’ records in the names of their ultimate beneficial owners. Instead, a substantial majority of all public companies’ shares are held in “street name,”

meaning that they are held of record by broker-dealers or banks through their depositories. Most street name shares are registered in the name “Cede & Co.,” the name used by The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”), which holds shares on behalf of its participant broker-dealers and banks. These participant broker-dealers and banks (which are known as nominees because they hold securities in name only) in turn hold the shares on behalf of their clients, the individual beneficial owners. Nominees, upon request, are required to provide companies with lists of beneficial owners who do not object to having their names, addresses, and share holdings supplied to companies, so called “non-objecting beneficial owners” (or “NOBOs”). Objecting beneficial owners (or “OBOs”) may be contacted directly only by the broker-dealer or bank.

Because DTCC’s role is only that of custodian, a number of mechanisms have been developed in order to pass the legal rights it holds as the record owner (such as the right to vote) to the beneficial owners. The first step in passing voting rights down the chain is the “omnibus proxy,” which DTCC executes to transfer its voting rights to its participant nominees.

Under applicable rules, nominees must deliver proxy materials to beneficial owners and request voting instructions. Nominees are often prohibited by applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or other self-regulatory organization (“SRO”) rules, or by express agreements with their customers from voting the securities held in their customers’ accounts in the absence of receiving such customers’ voting instructions.

A large number of nominees have contracted out the administrative processes of distributing proxy materials and tabulating voting instructions to us. Nominees accomplish this by transferring to us via powers of attorney the authority to execute a proxy, which authority they receive from DTCC (via omnibus proxy). We then distribute the proxy materials and voting instruction forms (known as “VIFs”) to beneficial owners.

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules require public companies to reimburse nominees for the expense of distributing stockholder communications to beneficial owners of securities held in street name. The reimbursement rates are set forth in the rules of SROs, including the NYSE. We act as a billing and collection agent for many nominees with respect to this reimbursement. We bill public companies on behalf of the nominees, collect the fee and remit to the nominee any difference between the fee that the nominee is entitled to collect and the amount that the nominee has agreed to pay us for our services. In addition, the NYSE rules establish fees specifically for the services provided by intermediaries in the proxy process such as Broadridge.

We also compile NOBO lists on behalf of nominees in response to requests from issuers. The preparation of NOBO lists is subject to reimbursement by the securities issuers requesting such lists to the broker-dealers. The reimbursement rates are based on the number of NOBOs on the list produced pursuant to NYSE or other SRO rules. Such rules also provide for certain fees to be paid to third party intermediaries who compile such NOBO lists. We function as such an intermediary in the NOBO process.

We also provide proxy distribution, vote tabulation, and various additional investor communication tools and services to institutional investors, corporate issuers, and investment companies.

The services we provide in this segment represented approximately 71%, 72%, and 76% of our total Revenues in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. These services include the following:

Bank and Brokerage Offerings. We handle the entire proxy materials distribution and voting process for our bank and broker-dealer clients on-line and in real-time, from coordination with third-party entities to ordering, inventory maintenance, mailing, tracking and vote tabulation. We offer electronic proxy delivery services for the electronic delivery of proxy materials to investors and collection of consents; maintenance of a database that contains the delivery method preferences of our clients’ customers; posting of documents on the Internet; e-mail notification to investors notifying them that proxy materials are available; and proxy voting over the Internet, mobile devices and tablets. We also have the ability to combine stockholder communications for

##### Table of Contents

multiple stockholders residing at the same address which we accomplish by having ascertained the delivery preferences of investors. In addition, we provide a complete outsourced solution for the processing of international proxies. We also provide a complete reorganization communications solution to notify investors of reorganizations or corporate action events such as tender offers, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcies, and class action lawsuits.

We also offer our bank and brokerage clients financial information distribution and transaction reporting services to help them meet their regulatory compliance requirements and business needs including: prospectus fulfillment services; electronic prospectus services; PostEdge, our electronic document archival and electronic delivery solution for documents including trade confirmations, tax documents and account statements; marketing communications; imaging, archival and workflow solutions; and on-demand digital print services. In addition, we offer our Mailbox products—Advisor Mailbox and Investor Mailbox— which provide a holistic network environment that supports and complements any investor communication strategy. Advisor Mailbox is the latest complement to our Investor Mailbox solution, our service providing the electronic delivery of investor communications to our clients’ websites, creating investor access to regulatory delivery notices, day-to-day account and investment information and convenient response tools. Our Advisor Mailbox is an electronic communications platform for financial advisors that delivers immediate electronic access to the communications and documents sent to such advisors’ customers. Advisor Mailbox streamlines multiple communication paths for all investor-related documents into a single-visit portal that is integrated onto an advisor’s platform.

We also offer tax services to financial services firms that support their various information year-end reporting (e.g., Forms 1099) and withholding requirements, with a focus on securities and fund processing/clearance operations. Our tax data services provide tax content and data management, including securities tax classifications and reclassifications, calculations of original issue discount and other accrual and cost basis adjusting events. Our tax managed services provide technology and personnel outsourcing, withholding services and client reporting, including print/electronic distribution and archival.

In fiscal year 2011, the Company acquired NewRiver, Inc. (“NewRiver”), a leader in mutual fund electronic investor disclosure solutions. NewRiver has provided the Company with important capabilities for the broker-dealer and retirement and annuity markets. Specifically, the proprietary EDGAR extraction, normalization and presentment capabilities of this business have enabled us to enhance our prospectus post-sale fulfillment operations by moving to an on demand solution. This process provides efficiency for our clients as it reduces their reliance on offset print and fund delivered inventory. Broadridge has also been able to leverage the intellectual property in this business to provide portfolio-specific solutions for the retirement and annuity markets. Through our integration of this functionality into our existing output solutions capabilities, we offer a new and efficient fulfillment model for regulatory and compliance mailings.

The Company also acquired Forefield, Inc. (“Forefield”) in fiscal year 2011, a leading provider of real-time sales, education and client communication solutions for financial institutions and their advisors. Forefield has expanded its services portfolio to leverage its industry leading financial content for use by financial services firms in their social media content libraries. Forefield has also launched an advisor website product that can be populated with Forefield’s content or content created by the advisor. Forefield continues to develop new applications that further the goal of creating timely, accurate and meaningful communications for both advisors and their clients. For example, Forefield’s newly released Women’s Resource Center, which contains a broad selection of content for both the advisor and their client, focuses specifically on the requirements and challenges faced by women investors.

Institutional Investor Offerings. We provide a suite of services to manage the entire proxy voting process of institutional investors, including fulfilling their fiduciary obligations and meeting their reporting needs such as ProxyEdge, our workflow solution that integrates ballots for positions held across multiple custodians and presents them under a single proxy. Voting can be instructed for the entire position, by account vote group or on an individual account basis either manually or automatically based on the recommendations of participating

##### Table of Contents

governance research providers. ProxyEdge also provides for client reporting and regulatory reporting. ProxyEdge can be utilized for meetings of U.S. and Canadian companies and for meetings in many non-North American countries based on the holdings of our global custodian clients. ProxyEdge is offered in several languages and there are currently over 5,500 ProxyEdge users worldwide.

Corporate Issuer Offerings. We are the largest processor and provider of investor communication solutions to public companies. We offer our corporate issuer clients many tools to facilitate their communications with investors such as Internet and telephone proxy voting, electronic delivery of corporate filings, and householding of communications to stockholders at the same address. One of our opportunities for growth in the Investor Communication Solutions segment involves serving corporate issuer clients in providing communications services to registered stockholders—that is, stockholders who do not hold their shares through a broker-dealer in street name. We also offer proxy services to non-North American corporate issuers in connection with their general and special meetings of stockholders. Our corporate issuer services include ShareLink®, which provides complete project management for the beneficial and registered proxy process.

Two years ago, we entered the transfer agency business through our acquisition of a provider of registrar, stock transfer and record-keeping services. Our strategy in the transfer agency business is to address the needs public companies have expressed for lower cost, more reliable stockholder record maintenance and communication services. We intend to accomplish this by leveraging our existing investor communications and securities processing capabilities to enable us to deliver enhanced transfer agency services to corporate issuers. In addition, we can offer issuers and their shareholders the ability to migrate their shareholders’ holdings from registered to beneficial ownership, thereby creating efficiencies for issuers and greater convenience for their shareholders.

Our Shareholder Forum solution is an online venue that offers public companies the ability to host structured, controlled communication with their shareholders on a timely and regular basis. Validated shareholders can submit questions, answer surveys in preparation of the annual meeting and year-round, and communicate in various ways with a corporation. Our Virtual Shareholder Meeting service provides corporate issuers in a number of states with the ability to host their annual meeting electronically on the Internet, either on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with their physical annual meeting. As the entity that provides beneficial shareholder proxy processing on behalf of many banks and brokerage firms, we can provide shareholder validation and voting to companies that want to hold virtual meetings.

Mutual Fund Offerings. We provide a full range of tools that enable mutual funds to communicate with large audiences of investors efficiently, reliably, and often with substantial cost savings. Our solutions allow mutual funds to centralize all investor communications through one resource. We also provide printing and mailing of regulatory reports, prospectuses and proxy materials, as well as proxy solicitation services. In addition, we distribute marketing communications and informational materials and create on-demand enrollment materials for mutual fund investors. Our position in the industry enables us to manage the entire communication process with both registered and beneficial stockholders. Our SalesVision® platform provides comprehensive data aggregation and data management solutions. SalesVision is software delivered as a service (“SaaS”) and assists mutual funds in processing commission and distribution payments, monitoring their compliance with regulatory requirements, and assembling shareholder and intermediary data in a form to better drive their sales strategy and marketing programs.

In addition, we provide mutual fund processing services for third party administrators, financial advisors, banks and wealth management professionals through our subsidiary Matrix Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Matrix”) which was acquired in fiscal year 2011. Our back-office, trust, custody, trading and mutual fund settlement services are integrated into our product suite, thereby strengthening our role as a provider of data processing and distribution channel solutions to the mutual fund industry.

Securities Processing Solutions

Transactions involving securities and other financial market instruments originate with an investor, who places an order with a broker who in turn routes that order to an appropriate market for execution. At that point, the parties to the transaction coordinate payment and settlement of the transaction through a clearinghouse. The records of the parties involved must then be updated to reflect completion of the transaction. Tax, custody, accounting and record-keeping requirements must be complied with in connection with the transaction and the customer’s account information must correctly reflect the transaction. The accurate processing of trading activity and custody activity requires effective automation and information flow across multiple systems and functions within the brokerage firm and across the systems of the various parties that participate in the execution of a transaction.

Our securities processing solutions automate the transaction lifecycle of equity, mutual fund, fixed income, and option securities trading operations, from order capture and execution through trade confirmation, settlement, custody and accounting. Our services facilitate the automation of straight-through-processing operations and enable financial institutions to efficiently and cost-effectively consolidate their books and records, gather and service assets under management, focus on their core businesses, and manage risk. With our multi-currency capabilities, we support trading activities on a global basis.

In September 2011, we acquired Paladyne, a provider of buy-side technology solutions for the global investment management industry. Paladyne provides front-, middle-, and back-office solutions such as Order Management, Data Warehousing, Reporting and Portfolio Accounting to hedge funds, investment managers and the providers that service this space (prime brokers, hedge fund administrators and custodians). The scope of Paladyne’s client base includes start-up or emerging managers through some of the largest global hedge fund complexes and global administrators. We are integrating our operational expertise with the Paladyne technology solutions to offer a set of managed services to the buy-side of the industry. Paladyne has enhanced the asset classes we service and expanded our global footprint and market coverage.

In March 2010, we entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement (the “IT Services Agreement”) with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), under which IBM provides certain aspects of our information technology infrastructure. The migration of our data center processing from ADP to IBM was substantially completed in June 2012. ADP will continue to perform data processing services until August 2012, when the migration to IBM is expected to be complete.

Our securities processing services represented approximately 29%, 28%, and 24% of our total Revenues in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. These services include the following:

North American Processing Services. We provide a set of sophisticated, multi-currency systems that support real-time processing of securities transactions in North American equities, options, fixed income securities, and mutual funds. Brokerage Processing Services (“BPS”) is our core multi-currency back-office processing system that supports real-time processing of transactions in the U.S. markets. BPS handles everything from order management to clearance/settlement and custody, and assists our clients in meeting their regulatory reporting and other back-office requirements. BPS is provided on a hosted ASP basis. We also offer a version of BPS for processing Canadian securities. In addition to our BPS offering, we provide specialized transaction processing tools and services for small to mid-market financial firms in the U.S. and Canada that are operated on separate Broadridge technology platforms. We also provide state-of-the-art fixed income transaction processing capabilities and support for front-, middle-, and back-office functions. Our securities processing services can be integrated with our web-based desktop applications, wealth management tools, enterprise workflow, automated inquiry reporting and record-keeping services.

International Processing Services. We provide advanced multi-currency transaction processing solutions for institutional and retail securities operations, corporate actions, and business process outsourcing services such as data cleansing. Our Global Processing Solution is our integrated delivery of multiple securities processing

##### Table of Contents

products and services to create a comprehensive system that is capable of processing transactions in equity, option, mutual fund, and fixed income securities in established and emerging markets, at any time. Its advanced real-time processes automate the securities transaction lifecycle from order capture and execution through confirmation, settlement, and accounting.

Operations Outsourcing Services. We also provide operations outsourcing services relating to a variety of securities clearing, record-keeping, and custody-related functions. Our clients execute and clear their securities transactions and engage us to perform a number of related administrative back-office functions, such as record-keeping and reconciliations. In this capacity, we are not the broker-dealer of record.

Broadridge’s Integrated Solutions

Our core systems for processing equity, option, and mutual fund transactions in the U.S. markets can also be combined with our specialized systems for processing fixed income and international securities transactions. These specialized securities processing services can be fully integrated with operations outsourcing services. In addition, our clients can integrate our securities processing and operations outsourcing services with our other services including: (i) the processing of trade confirmations and account statements, delivered in paper or electronically; (ii) equity and mutual fund prospectus processing; (iii) automated workflow tools that help our clients streamline their securities processing and operations activities; and (iv) a full suite of wealth management products including data aggregation tools, end-customer websites, broker desktop, financial planning and modeling tools, performance reporting and portfolio accounting.

Clients

We serve a large and diverse client base in the financial services industry including retail and institutional brokerage firms, global banks, mutual funds, annuity companies, institutional investors, specialty trading firms, independent broker-dealers, and clearing firms. We also provide services to corporate issuers.

In fiscal year 2012, we:

| • |  | processed approximately 85% of the outstanding shares in the U.S. in the performance of our proxy services;

| • |  | distributed over 1.0 billion investor communications in either paper or electronic form;

| • |  | processed on average over $4.5 trillion in equity and fixed income trades per day of U.S. and Canadian securities; and

| • |  | provided fixed income trade processing services to 15 of the 21 primary dealers of fixed income securities in the U.S.

In fiscal year 2012, we derived approximately 23% of our consolidated revenues from five clients. Our largest single client accounted for approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive industry. Our Investor Communication Solutions business competes with companies that provide investor communication and corporate governance solutions including transfer agents who handle communication services to registered (non-beneficial) securities holders, proxy advisory firms, proxy solicitation firms and other proxy services providers. We also face competition from numerous firms in the compiling and printing of transaction confirmations and account statements. Our Securities Processing Solutions business principally competes with brokerage firms that perform their trade processing in-house, and with numerous other outsourcing vendors. Our back-office support services offered through this segment also compete with very large financial institutions that manage their own back-office record-keeping operations. In many cases, clients engage us only to perform certain functions, such as back-office processing, and do not outsource their other functions such as clearing operations support that we would also perform for them.

Technology

We have several information processing systems which serve as the core foundation of our technology platform. We leverage these systems in order to provide our services. We are committed to maintaining extremely high levels of quality service through our skilled technical employees and the use of our technology within an environment that seeks continual improvement.

Our mission-critical applications are designed to provide high levels of availability, scalability, reliability, and flexibility. They operate on industry standard enterprise architecture platforms that provide high degrees of horizontal and vertical scaling. This scalability and redundancy allows us to provide high degrees of system availability. In March 2010, we entered into the IT Services Agreement with IBM, under which IBM performs a broad range of technology services including supporting our mainframe, midrange, open systems, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. We have the option of incorporating additional services into the agreement over time. The IT Services Agreement expires on June 30, 2022. We have the right to renew it for up to an additional 12-month term. Our principal data center systems and applications had previously been operated and managed by ADP. The migration of our data center processing from ADP to IBM was substantially completed in June 2012. ADP will continue to perform data processing services until August 2012, when the migration to IBM is expected to be complete.

We have the right to terminate the IT Services Agreement for several reasons including for cause, for convenience, or in the event of a change of ownership control of IBM. However, several of the grounds for termination of the IT Services Agreement by Broadridge require us to pay a termination fee to IBM. IBM also has certain termination rights in the event of a material breach of the Company’s obligations under the IT Services Agreement and its failure to cure.

Most of our systems and applications process in Tier III+ and Tier IV data centers. Tier III+ and Tier IV data centers employ multiple active power and cooling distribution paths, redundant components, and are capable of providing 99.995% availability. Tier III+ and Tier IV data centers provide infrastructure capacity and capability to permit any planned activity without disruption to the critical load, and can sustain at least one worst-case, unplanned failure or event with no critical load impact. Our geographically dispersed processing centers also provide disaster recovery and business continuity processing.

To further demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of quality service and client satisfaction within an environment that fosters continual improvement, our data centers are International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) 9001:2000 certified. In addition, Broadridge’s core applications and facilities for the provision of our proxy, U.S. equity and fixed income securities processing services, and IBM’s data centers are ISO 27001 certified. This security standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System within the context of the organization’s overall business risks. It specifies the requirements for the implementation of security controls customized to the needs of individual organizations. This standard addresses confidentiality, access control, vulnerability, business continuity, and risk assessment.

Product Development. Our products and services are designed with reliability, availability, scalability, and flexibility so that we can fully meet our clients’ processing needs. These applications are built in a manner which allows us to meet the breadth and depth of requirements of our financial services industry clients in a highly efficient manner. We continually upgrade, enhance, and expand our existing products and services taking into account input from clients, industry-wide initiatives and regulatory changes affecting our clients.

Intellectual Property. We own registered marks for our trade name and own or have applied for trademark registrations for many of our services and products. We regard our products and services as proprietary and utilize internal security practices and confidentiality restrictions in contracts with employees, clients, and others for protection. We believe that we hold all proprietary rights necessary to conduct our business.

Employees

At June 30, 2012, we had approximately 6,200 employees. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements governing their employment with our company. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Regulation

The securities and financial services industries are subject to extensive regulation in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions. As a matter of public policy, regulatory bodies in the U.S. and the rest of the world are charged with safeguarding the integrity of the securities and other financial markets and with protecting the interests of investors participating in those markets.

In the U.S., the securities and financial services industries are subject to regulation under both federal and state laws. At the federal level, the SEC regulates the securities industry, along with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the various stock exchanges, and other SROs. Our Investor Communication Solutions and Securities Processing Solutions businesses are generally not directly subject to federal, state, or foreign laws and regulations that are specifically applicable to financial institutions. However, as a provider of services to financial institutions and issuers of securities, our services are provided in a manner to assist our clients in complying with the laws and regulations to which they are subject, such as our proxy distribution, processing, and voting services. As a result, the services we provide may change as applicable SEC, FINRA and SRO regulations are revised. For example, the SEC has in recent years amended the proxy rules to allow public companies to follow a “notice and access” model of proxy material delivery. The SEC’s notice and access rules have caused us to develop and offer a number of new and additional services.

On July 14, 2010, the SEC voted unanimously to issue for public comment a concept release (the “Concept Release”) focusing on a wide range of topics related to the U.S. proxy system. The Concept Release is organized by the three general topics on which the SEC sought public input: (1) ensuring the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of the voting process, (2) enhancing shareholder communication and participation, and (3) addressing the relationship between voting power and economic interest. The comment period on the Concept Release ended in 2010. The SEC may, but is not necessarily required to, engage in rulemaking with respect to the topics addressed by the Concept Release. There are no indicators that would enable the Company to make a determination as to whether there will be any modifications made to the current proxy system, and if so, what impact, if any, any such modifications to the current proxy system will have on our business. However, as with any regulatory change, we may have to incur additional costs to adapt our business to possible modifications in the proxy system that could result from the rulemaking process initiated by the Concept Release. In September 2010, the NYSE formed the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee made up of issuers, broker-dealers and investors to review the NYSE proxy distribution fees. In May 2012, the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee issued its recommendations on the fees paid by issuers for the distribution of proxy materials to beneficial shareholders. The report makes recommendations for changes in fees; however, at this time it is not a formal proposal for changing the NYSE rules pertaining to fees. Any such changes would be subject to public comment and SEC approval. We will monitor any future actions taken by the SEC, the SROs or other participants in the proxy process with respect to the Concept Release and the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee recommendations. If changes are made to the U.S. proxy system, we expect to continue to adapt our business practices and service offerings to assist our clients in fulfilling their obligations under any new or modified legal requirements and industry practices.

Certain of the securities processing services we provide may be deemed to be mission-critical functions of financial institutions that are regulated by one or more member agencies of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”). We are therefore subject to examination by the member agencies of the FFIEC which are the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the National Credit Union Association. The FFIEC conducts periodic reviews of certain of our operations in order to identify existing or

12

##### Table of Contents

potential risks associated with our operations that could adversely affect the financial institutions to which we provide services, evaluates our risk management systems and controls, and determines our compliance with applicable laws that affect the services we provide to financial institutions. In addition to examining areas such as our management of technology, data integrity, information confidentiality and service availability, the reviews also assess our financial stability. A sufficiently unfavorable review from the FFIEC could result in our clients not being allowed to use our services. In addition, we engage independent auditors to review many of our operations to provide internal control evaluations for our clients and their regulators.

Our operations outsourcing and mutual fund processing services are performed by registered broker-dealers. As registered broker-dealers and members of FINRA, they are subject to regulations concerning many aspects of their business, including trade practices, capital requirements, record retention, money laundering prevention, the protection of customer funds and customer securities, and the supervision of the conduct of directors, officers and employees. A failure to comply with any of these laws, rules or regulations could result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders, or the suspension or revocation of SEC or FINRA authorization granted to allow the operation of their businesses or disqualification of their directors, officers or employees. In addition, as registered broker-dealers, they are required to participate in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) for the benefit of customers. In addition, MG Trust Company, LLC (“MG Trust”), a subsidiary of Matrix, is a Colorado State non-depository trust company whose primary business is to provide cash agent, custodial and directed or non-discretionary trust services to institutional customers. MG Trust operates pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Colorado Division of Banking.

In addition, our operations outsourcing services are subject to regulatory oversight by the SEC and FINRA. The recent economic turmoil has resulted in increased regulatory scrutiny of the securities industry including the outsourcing of regulatory functions. This oversight could result in the future enactment of more restrictive laws or rules with respect to operations outsourcing. We will monitor any future actions taken by the SEC and FINRA, and if new requirements are enacted, we expect to adapt our business practices and service offerings to assist our clients in fulfilling their obligations under any new or modified legal requirements and industry practices. In addition, if we expand our outsourcing solutions services into other countries in the future, we will be required to comply with the regulatory controls of each country in which we conduct business.

Our transfer agency business, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., is subject to certain rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, including without limitation, with respect to registration with the SEC, annual reporting, examination, internal controls, proper disposal of shareholder information and obligations relating to its operations. Our transfer agency business has been formally approved by the NYSE to act as a transfer agent or registrar for issuers of NYSE listed securities and is subject to certain NYSE requirements concerning operational standards. Furthermore, it is also subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and postal regulations, as well as certain provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Federal Trade Commission’s regulations with respect to maintenance of information security safeguards.

Privacy and Information Security Regulations

The processing of personal information is required to provide our services. Data privacy laws and regulations in the U.S. and foreign countries apply to the collection, transfer, use, storage, and destruction of personal information. In the U.S., the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which applies to financial institutions, applies to certain aspects of our operations outsourcing, mutual fund processing and transfer agency businesses and to the services that involve data processing for financial institutions, and applies indirectly to our other businesses through contractual commitments with our clients and through industry standards. In addition, state privacy and information security laws, and consumer protection laws, which apply to businesses that collect or process personal information, also apply directly to our businesses. These laws may require notification to affected individuals, state officers, and consumer reporting agencies in the event of a security breach that results in unauthorized access to or disclosure of certain non-public personal information. These regulations and laws also impose requirements for safeguarding personal information through internal policies and procedures.

13

##### Table of Contents

Similar data privacy laws related to the collection, transfer, use, and storage of personal information exist outside of the U.S., such as the European Union’s 95/46 EC Directive of the European Parliament, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, individual European national laws, and data privacy laws of other countries. In some cases, these laws may be more restrictive and may require different compliance requirements than the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the U.S. state privacy laws or consumer protection laws, and may impose additional duties on companies.

There has been increased public attention regarding the corporate use of personal information, accompanied by legislation and regulations intended to strengthen data protection, information security and consumer privacy. The law in these areas is not consistent or settled. While we believe that Broadridge is compliant with its regulatory responsibilities, the legal, political, and business environments in these areas are rapidly changing, and subsequent legislation, regulation, litigation, court rulings, or other events could expose Broadridge to increased program costs, liability, and possible damage to our reputation.

Other

Our businesses, both directly and indirectly, rely on the Internet and other electronic communications gateways. We intend to expand our use of these gateways. To date, the use of the Internet has been relatively free from regulatory restraints. However, governmental agencies within the U.S. and other jurisdictions are beginning to address regulatory issues that may arise in connection with the use of the Internet. Accordingly, new regulations or interpretations may be adopted that constrain our own and our clients’ abilities to transact business through the Internet or other electronic communications gateways.

Seasonality

Processing and distributing proxy materials and annual reports to investors in equity securities and mutual funds comprises a large portion of our Investor Communication Solutions business. We process and distribute the greatest number of proxy materials and annual reports during our fourth fiscal quarter (the second quarter of the calendar year). The recurring periodic activity of this business is linked to significant filing deadlines imposed by law on public reporting companies and mutual funds. Historically, this has caused our revenues, operating income, net earnings, and cash flows from operating activities to be higher in our fourth fiscal quarter than in any other quarter. The seasonality of our revenues makes it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the results of any specific fiscal quarter and could affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows on a fiscal quarter-by-quarter basis.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or incorporated by reference herein. Based on the information currently known to us, we believe that the following information identifies the material risk factors affecting our company. However, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Consolidation in the financial services industry could adversely affect our revenues by eliminating some of our existing and potential clients and could make us increasingly dependent on a more limited number of clients.

There has been and continues to be merger, acquisition, and consolidation activity in the financial services industry. In recent years, the economic slowdown and in particular, its impact on the financial services industry, resulted in increased mergers or consolidations of our clients. Mergers or consolidations of financial institutions could reduce the number of our clients and potential clients. If our clients merge with or are acquired by other firms that are not our clients, or firms that use fewer of our services, they may discontinue or reduce the use of our services. In addition, it is possible that the larger financial institutions resulting from mergers or consolidations could decide to perform in-house some or all of the services that we currently provide or could provide. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

A large percentage of our revenues are derived from a small number of clients in the financial services industry.

In fiscal year 2012, we derived approximately 23% of our consolidated revenues from our five largest clients and approximately 63% of the revenues of our Securities Processing Solutions segment from the 15 largest clients in that segment. Our largest single client accounted for approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues. While these clients generally work with multiple business segments, the loss of business from any of these clients due to merger or consolidation, financial difficulties or bankruptcy, or the termination or non-renewal of contracts would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. Also, in the event a client experiences financial difficulties or bankruptcy resulting in a reduction in their demand for our services or loss of the client’s business, in addition to losing the revenue from that client, the Company would be required to write-off any investments made by the Company in connection with that client. Under a number of our contracts, our clients have the opportunity to renegotiate their contracts with us and to consider whether to renew their contracts or engage one of our competitors to provide services. If we are not successful in achieving high renewal rates with favorable terms, particularly with these clients, our revenues from such renewals and the associated earnings could be negatively impacted. In addition, the current economic slowdown and its specific impact on the financial services industry, has resulted in increased pricing pressure, particularly with respect to our Securities Processing Solutions business.

The financial services industry has experienced increasing scrutiny by regulatory authorities in recent years and further changes in legislation or regulations may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business or may reduce our profitability.

The legislative and regulatory environment of the financial services industry has recently undergone significant change and may undergo further change in the future. The SEC, FINRA, various stock exchanges, and other U.S. and foreign governmental or regulatory authorities continuously review legislative and regulatory initiatives and may adopt new or revised laws and regulations. These legislative and regulatory initiatives may adversely affect the way in which we conduct our business and may make our business less profitable. Also,

15

changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations by those entities may adversely affect our business.

Our Investor Communication Solutions and Securities Processing Solutions businesses are generally not directly subject to federal, state, or foreign laws and regulations that are specifically applicable to financial institutions. However, as a provider of services to financial institutions and issuers of securities, our services are particularly sensitive to changes in laws and regulations governing our clients and the securities markets. On July 14, 2010, the SEC voted unanimously to issue the Concept Release for public comment. The Concept Release focuses on a wide range of topics related to the U.S. proxy system. The Concept Release is organized by the three general topics on which the SEC sought public input: (1) ensuring the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of the voting process, (2) enhancing shareholder communication and participation, and (3) addressing the relationship between voting power and economic interest. The comment period on the Concept Release ended in 2010. The SEC may, but is not necessarily required to, engage in rulemaking with respect to the topics addressed by the Concept Release. There are no indicators that would enable the Company to make a determination as to whether there will be any modifications made to the current proxy system, and if so, what impact, if any, any such modifications to the current proxy system will have on our business. However, as with any regulatory change, we may have to incur additional costs to adapt our business to possible modifications in the proxy system that could result from the rulemaking process initiated by the Concept Release. In September 2010, the NYSE formed the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee made up of issuers, broker-dealers and investors to review the NYSE proxy distribution fees. In May 2012, the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee issued its recommendations on the fees paid by issuers for the distribution of proxy materials to beneficial shareholders. The report makes recommendations for changes in fees; however, at this time it is not a formal proposal for changing the NYSE rules pertaining to fees. Any such changes would be subject to public comment and SEC approval. We will monitor any future actions taken by the SEC, the SROs or other participants in the proxy process with respect to the Concept Release and the Proxy Fee Advisory Committee recommendations.

Certain of the securities processing services we provide may be deemed to be mission-critical functions of financial institutions that are regulated by one or more member agencies of the FFIEC. We are therefore subject to examination by the member agencies of the FFIEC. The FFIEC has been conducting periodic reviews of certain of our operations since August 2006 in order to identify existing or potential risks associated with our operations that could adversely affect the financial institutions to which we provide services, evaluates our risk management systems and controls, and determines our compliance with applicable laws that affect the services we provide to financial institutions. In addition to examining areas such as our management of technology, data integrity, information confidentiality and service availability, the reviews also assess our financial stability. A sufficiently unfavorable review from the FFIEC could result in our clients not being allowed to use our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our operations outsourcing, mutual fund processing and transfer agency solutions as well as the entities providing those services are subject to regulatory oversight. Our provision of these services must comply with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, FINRA, and various stock exchanges, state securities commissions, and other regulatory bodies charged with safeguarding the integrity of the securities markets and other financial markets and protecting the interests of investors participating in these markets. If we fail to comply with any applicable regulations in performing those services, we could lose our clients, be subject to suits for breach of contract or to governmental proceedings, censures and fines, our reputation could be harmed and we could be limited in our ability to obtain new clients. Our ability to comply with these regulations depends largely upon the maintenance of an effective compliance system which can be time consuming and costly, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified compliance personnel. In addition, the future enactment of more restrictive laws or rules with respect to our regulated subsidiaries could have an adverse impact on the financial performance of those businesses. Furthermore, regulatory approval may be required before expansion of these business activities. We may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for any desired expansion. Even if approvals are obtained, they may impose restrictions on our business and could require us to incur significant compliance costs or adversely affect the development of business activities in affected markets.

Our clients in the financial services industry are subject to increasing regulation and oversight by regulators, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business or may reduce our profitability.

We provide technology solutions to a large and diverse client base in the financial services industry including retail and institutional brokerage firms, global banks, mutual funds, annuity companies, institutional investors, specialty trading firms, independent broker-dealers, and clearing firms. These clients are generally subject to extensive regulation in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions. The current legislative and regulatory environment may impact the way that our clients do business in a way that could adversely impact us. For example, new regulations governing our clients could result in significant expenditures that could cause them to reduce their use of our services, seek to renegotiate existing agreements, or cease or curtail their operations, all of which could adversely impact our business. In addition, the financial services industry has experienced increased scrutiny in recent years and penalties and fines sought by regulatory authorities, including the SEC, FINRA, securities exchanges, state attorneys general and international regulators, have increased accordingly. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies, could result in fines, limitations on business activity or suspension or expulsion from the industry, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon our clients. Adverse regulatory actions that change our clients’ businesses or adversely affect their operating results or financial condition could decrease their ability to purchase, or demand for, our products and services, thus causing loss of business from these clients. The loss of business from our largest clients could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

Our revenues may decrease due to declines in the number of unique securities positions, levels of event-driven communications activity, trading volume, market prices, or the liquidity of the securities markets.

We generate significant revenues from the transaction processing fees we earn from our services. These revenue sources are substantially dependent on the levels of participation and activity in the securities markets. The number of unique securities positions held by investors through our clients and our clients’ customer trading volumes reflect the levels of participation and activity in the markets, which are impacted by market prices, and the liquidity of the securities markets, among other factors. Over the past several years, the U.S. and foreign securities markets have experienced significant volatility. Sudden sharp or gradual but sustained declines in market participation and activity can result in reduced investor communications activity, including reduced proxy and event-driven communications processing such as mutual fund proxy, and mergers and acquisitions and other special corporate event communications processing, and reduced trading volumes. The occurrence of any of these events would likely result in reduced revenues and decreased profitability from our business operations.

General economic and political conditions and broad trends in business and finance that are beyond our control may contribute to reduced levels of activity in the securities markets, which could result in lower revenues from our business operations.

The number of unique securities positions held by investors through our clients, the level of event-driven communications activity we process on behalf of our clients, trading volume, market prices, and liquidity of the securities markets are affected by general national and international economic and political conditions, and broad trends in business and finance that result in changes in participation and activity in the securities markets. These factors include:

| • |  | economic, political and market conditions;

| • |  | legislative and regulatory changes;

17

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | the availability of short-term and long-term funding and capital;

| • |  | the level and volatility of interest rates;

| • |  | currency values and inflation; and

| • |  | national, state, and local taxation levels affecting securities transactions.

These factors are beyond our control and may contribute to reduced levels of participation and activity in the securities markets. Our revenues have historically been largely driven by transaction processing based on levels of participation and activity in the securities markets. Accordingly, any significant reduction in participation and activity in the securities markets would likely result in lower revenues from our business operations.

Breaches of our information security policies or safeguards could adversely affect our ability to operate, could result in the personal or account information of our clients’ customers being misappropriated, and may cause us to be held liable or suffer harm to our reputation.

We process and transfer the personal and account information of customers of financial institutions and investors in public companies and mutual funds. Our clients that are financial institutions or clients that collect or handle personal information outside the U.S. are subject to laws and regulations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions designed to protect the privacy of personal information and to prevent that information from being inappropriately disclosed, misused, altered, destroyed or otherwise compromised, and they require that we abide by such laws and regulations in performing our services for them. In the U.S., the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which applies to financial institutions, applies to certain aspects of our operations outsourcing, mutual fund processing and transfer agency businesses and to the services that involve data processing for financial institutions, and applies indirectly to our other businesses through contractual commitments with our clients and through industry standards. In addition, state privacy and information security laws, and consumer protection laws, which apply to businesses that collect or process personal information, also apply directly to our businesses. We have developed and maintain technical and operational safeguards which vary based on service and information type, including encryption, authentication technology, and transmission of data over private networks in order to effect secure transmissions of confidential information over computer systems and the Internet. However, despite those safeguards, it is possible that unauthorized individuals could improperly access our systems or improperly obtain or disclose the personal or account information of our clients’ customers or investors in public companies and mutual funds. Any breach of our information security policies or safeguards resulting in the unauthorized use or disclosure of personal or account information could result in interruptions to our operations or delivery of services to our clients, and we could be liable to parties who are financially harmed by those breaches. Our liability risk is anticipated in our services agreements with our clients and our insurance coverage. However, we may not be adequately protected against all possible losses through the terms of our services agreements and our insurance coverage. In addition, we may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of information security breaches or to respond to or alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Furthermore, such breaches could cause us to lose revenues, lose clients or cause damage to our reputation.

We purchase a significant portion of our data center services, including disaster recovery capabilities, from a third party data center services provider, and if our data center services provider fails to adequately perform the data center services in the manner necessary to meet our clients’ needs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed.

IBM provides us with data center services under the IT Services Agreement that include supporting our mainframe, midrange, open systems, network and data center operations, as well as disaster recovery services. As a result, we currently purchase a significant portion of our data center services, including disaster recovery capabilities, from IBM. If IBM fails to adequately perform the data center services in the manner necessary to meet our clients’ needs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed. Some of these risks are anticipated and covered through service level credits, termination rights, and indemnification clauses in

the IT Services Agreement. However, we may not adequately be protected against all possible losses through the terms of the IT Services Agreement.

Any slowdown or failure of our computer or communications systems or those of our outsourced data center services provider could impact our ability to provide services to our clients and support our internal operations and could subject us to liability for losses suffered by our clients or their customers.

Our services depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process, and manage significant databases, and to receive and process transactions and investor communications through a variety of electronic systems and media. Our systems, those of our outsourced data center services provider, or any other systems with which ours interact could slow down significantly or fail for a variety of reasons, including:

| • |  | computer viruses or undetected errors in internal software programs or computer systems;

| • |  | inability to rapidly monitor all system activity;

| • |  | inability to effectively resolve any errors in internal software programs or computer systems once they are detected;

| • |  | heavy stress placed on systems during peak times; or

| • |  | power or telecommunications failure, fire, flood or any other disaster.

While we monitor system loads and performance and implement system upgrades to handle predicted increases in trading volume and volatility, we cannot assure you that we will be able to predict future volume increases or volatility accurately or that our systems and those of our data center services provider will be able to accommodate these volume increases or volatility without failure or degradation. Moreover, because we have outsourced our data center operations, the operation and performance of the data center involve factors beyond our control. Any significant degradation or failure of our computer systems, communications systems or any other systems in the performance of our services could cause our clients or their customers to suffer delays in their receipt of our services. These delays could cause substantial losses for our clients or their customers, and we could be liable to parties who are financially harmed by those failures. Our liability risk is anticipated in our services agreements with our clients and our insurance coverage. However, we may not be adequately protected against all possible losses through the terms of our services agreements and our insurance coverage. In addition, such failures could cause us to lose revenues, lose clients or damage our reputation.

Operational errors in the performance of our services could lead to liability for claims, client loss and result in reputational damage.

The failure to properly perform our services could result in our clients and/or certain of our subsidiaries being subjected to censures, fines, or other sanctions by applicable regulatory authorities, and we could be liable to parties who are financially harmed by those errors. Our liability risk is anticipated in our services agreements with our clients and our insurance coverage. However, we may not be adequately protected against all possible losses through the terms of our services agreements and our insurance coverage. In addition, such errors could cause us to lose revenues, lose clients or damage our reputation.

If the operational systems and infrastructure that we depend on fail to keep pace with our growth, we may experience operating inefficiencies, client dissatisfaction and lost revenue opportunities.

The growth of our business and expansion of our client base may place a strain on our management and operations. We believe that our current and anticipated future growth will require the implementation of new and enhanced communications and information systems, the training of personnel to operate these systems, and the expansion and upgrade of core technologies. While many of our systems are designed to accommodate additional growth without redesign or replacement, we may nevertheless need to make significant investments in additional hardware and software to accommodate growth. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to predict the timing or rate of this growth accurately or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure on a timely basis.

19

##### Table of Contents

Our growth has required and will continue to require increased investments in management personnel and systems, financial systems and controls, and office facilities. In the absence of continued revenue growth, the costs associated with these investments would cause our operating margins to decline from current levels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage or continue to manage our recent or future growth successfully. If we fail to manage our growth, we may experience operating inefficiencies, dissatisfaction among our client base, and lost revenue opportunities.

If we are unable to respond to the demands of our existing and new clients, our ability to reach our revenue goals or maintain our profitability could be diminished.

The global financial services industry is characterized by increasingly complex and integrated infrastructures and products, new and changing business models and rapid technological and regulatory changes. Our clients’ needs and demands for our products and services evolve with these changes. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to our clients’ demands for new services, capabilities and technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis, to adapt to technological advancements and changing regulatory standards, and to address our clients’ increasingly sophisticated requirements.

Intense competition could negatively affect our ability to maintain or increase our market share and profitability.

The markets for our products and services continue to evolve and are highly competitive. We compete with a number of firms that provide similar products and services. In addition, our securities processing solutions compete with our clients’ in-house capabilities to perform competitive functions. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies, and client requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to clients and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we will be able to offer or adopt. In addition, we expect that the markets in which we compete will continue to attract new competitors and new technologies, including international providers of similar products and services to ours. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors. If we fail to compete effectively, our market share could decrease and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially harmed.

Our business, financial position, and results of operations could be harmed by adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies.

If the credit ratings of our outstanding indebtedness are downgraded, or if rating agencies indicate that a downgrade may occur, our business, financial position, and results of operations could be adversely affected and perceptions of our financial strength could be damaged. A downgrade would have the effect of increasing our borrowing costs, and could decrease the availability of funds we are able to borrow, adversely affecting our business, financial position, and results of operations. In addition, a downgrade could adversely affect our relationships with our clients. For further information with respect to our borrowing costs, see Note 13, “Borrowings” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may be unable to attract and retain key personnel.

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel such as our senior management and other qualified personnel to conduct our business. The market for such experienced senior managers and other qualified personnel is extremely competitive. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to recruit and retain the required key personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified individuals or our recruiting and retention costs increase significantly, our operations and financial results could be materially adversely affected.

The inability to identify, obtain and retain important intellectual property rights to technology could harm our business.

Our success depends in part upon the development and acquisition of systems and applications to conduct our business. These systems and applications are primarily developed by employees or independent contractors, or obtained through acquisitions. Our success will increasingly depend in part on our ability to identify, obtain and retain intellectual property rights to technology, both for internal use as well as for use in providing services to our clients, either through internal development, acquisition or licensing from others, or alliances with others. Our inability to identify, obtain and retain rights to certain technology on favorable terms and conditions would make it difficult to conduct business, or to timely introduce new and innovative products and services, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our products and services, and the products and services provided to us by third parties, may infringe upon intellectual property rights of third parties, and any infringement claims could require us to incur substantial costs, distract our management, or prevent us from conducting our business.

Although we attempt to avoid infringing upon known proprietary rights of third parties, we are subject to the risk of claims alleging infringement of third-party proprietary rights. If we infringe upon the rights of third parties, we may be unable to obtain licenses to use those rights on commercially reasonable terms. Additionally, third parties that provide us with products and services that are integral to the conduct of our business may be subject to similar allegations, which could prevent them from continuing to provide these products and services to us. In either of these events, we would need to undertake substantial reengineering in order to continue offering our services and we may not succeed in doing so. In addition, any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract our management from our business. Furthermore, a party making such a claim could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from conducting our business.

Acquisitions and integrating such acquisitions create certain risks and may affect operating results.

From time to time, we engage in, and expect to continue to engage in, business acquisitions. The acquisition and integration of businesses involve a number of risks. The core risks are in the areas of:

| • |  | valuation: negotiating a fair price for the business based on inherently limited due diligence reviews;

| • |  | integration: managing the complex process of integrating the acquired company’s people, products, technology, and other assets so as to realize the projected value of the acquired company and the synergies projected to be realized in connection with the acquisition; and

| • |  | legacy issues: protecting against actions, claims, regulatory investigations, losses, and other liabilities related to the predecessor business.

Also, the process of integrating these businesses may disrupt our business and divert our resources. These risks may arise for a number of reasons including, for example:

| • |  | finding suitable businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms;

| • |  | competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirors;

| • |  | incurring unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with such acquisitions;

| • |  | devoting unanticipated financial and management resources to an acquired business;

| • |  | borrowing money from lenders or selling equity or debt securities to the public to finance future acquisitions on terms that may be adverse to us;

| • |  | entering markets where we have minimal prior experience; and

| • |  | experiencing decreases in earnings as a result of non-cash impairment charges.

21

##### Table of Contents

In addition, international acquisitions often involve additional or increased risks including, for example:

| • |  | geographically separated organizations, systems, and facilities;

| • |  | integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds and organizational cultures;

| • |  | complying with foreign regulatory requirements;

| • |  | enforcing intellectual property rights in some foreign countries; and

| • |  | general economic and political conditions.

In the event of a disaster, our disaster recovery and business continuity plans may fail, which could result in the loss of client data and adversely interrupt operations.

Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our infrastructure against damage from catastrophe, natural disaster, or severe weather including events resulting from unauthorized security breach, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attack, or other events that could have a significant disruptive effect on our operations. We have disaster recovery and business continuity plans in place in the event of system failure due to any of these events and we test our plans regularly. In addition, our outsourced data center services provider also has disaster recovery plans and procedures in place. However, we cannot be certain that our plans, or those of our primary outsourced data center services provider, will be successful in the event of a disaster. If our disaster recovery or business continuity plans are unsuccessful in a disaster recovery scenario, we could potentially lose client data or experience material adverse interruptions to our operations or delivery of services to our clients, and we could be liable to parties who are financially harmed by those failures. Our liability risk is anticipated in our services agreements with our clients and our insurance coverage. However, we may not be adequately protected against all possible losses through the terms of our services agreements and our insurance coverage. In addition, such failures could cause us to lose revenues, lose clients or damage our reputation.

Our business is highly dependent on the financial services industry and exchanges and market centers around the world that may be targets of terrorism.

Our business is highly dependent on the financial services industry and exchanges and market centers around the world that may be targets of terrorism. Terrorist activities in September 2001 caused the U.S. securities markets to close for four days. This impacted our revenues and profitability for that period of time. If terrorist incidents cause interruption of the financial services industry or securities market activity, our revenues and profits may be impacted negatively again.

Our mutual fund processing services may be exposed to risk from our counterparties and third parties.

In the normal course of business, our mutual fund processing services involve the settlement of transactions on behalf of our customers and third parties. With these activities, we may be exposed to risk in the event our customers, other broker-dealers, banks, clearing organizations, or depositories are unable to fulfill contractual obligations and the mutual fund counterparty is not able to cancel the transaction.

Our revenues are subject to seasonal variations because we process and distribute the greatest number of proxy materials and annual reports in our fourth fiscal quarter.

Processing and distributing proxy materials and annual reports to investors in equity securities and mutual funds comprises a large portion of our Investor Communication Solutions business. We process and distribute the greatest number of proxy materials and annual reports during our fourth fiscal quarter. The recurring periodic activity of this business is linked to significant filing deadlines imposed by law on public reporting companies and mutual funds. Historically, this has caused our revenues, operating income, net earnings, and cash flows from operating activities to be higher in our fourth fiscal quarter than in any other fiscal quarter. The seasonality of our revenues makes it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the results of any specific fiscal quarter and could affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows on a fiscal quarter-by-quarter basis.

ITEM 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

ITEM 2. | Properties.

We operate our business from 52 facilities. We own a 20,000 square foot facility in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, where we perform certain product development functions. We also own a 36,000 square foot facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, where we perform securities processing services. We lease four facilities in Edgewood, New York, with a combined space of 763,320 square feet which are used in connection with our Investor Communication Solutions business. We lease space at 46 additional locations, subject to customary lease arrangements, including a 67,000 square foot facility in Lake Success, New York, that serves as our corporate headquarters as well as the location of our operations outsourcing solutions business. Our leases expire on a staggered basis. We believe our facilities are currently adequate for their intended purposes and are adequately maintained.

ITEM 3. | Legal Proceedings.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation. While the outcome of any claim or litigation is inherently unpredictable, and with the exception of the matter described in the following paragraph, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 28, 2010, the Company filed a declaratory action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware District Court”) against Inveshare, Inc. (the “Defendant”) seeking a declaration by the court that Broadridge does not infringe two U.S. patents owned by the Defendant that included claims related to the delivery and distribution of an electronic solicitation. The Company’s complaint also alleged that the Defendant’s patents are invalid and/or are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. On March 22, 2010, the Defendant answered the Company’s complaint and filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that Broadridge uses a process that infringes on one of the patents in the action. In its counterclaim, Defendant is seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages. This lawsuit is in an early procedural stage, with the Delaware District Court recently issuing its claim construction ruling on April 11, 2012; however, due to the limited scope of this matter, the Company believes that the outcome of this litigation would not result in a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

PART II.

ITEM 5. | Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our common stock began trading “regular way” on the NYSE under the symbol “BR” on April 2, 2007. There were 15,192 stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of July 31, 2012. This figure excludes an estimate of the indeterminate number of beneficial holders whose shares may be held of record by brokerage firms and clearing agencies. The following table presents the high and low closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE as well as the cash dividends per share of common stock declared during the fiscal quarters indicated:

Common Stock Market Price |  | High |  |  | Low |  |  | Dividends Declared |
Fiscal Year 2012 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
First Quarter |  | $ | 24.75 |  |  | $ | 19.59 |  |  | $ | 0.16 |

Fourth Quarter |  |  | 24.07 |  |  |  | 21.79 |  |  |  | 0.15 |

Dividend Policy

We expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock. On August 8, 2012, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly cash dividend by $0.02 per share to $0.18 per share, an increase in our annual dividend amount from $0.64 to $0.72 per share. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our businesses, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.

As a holding company with no material liquid assets other than the capital stock of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends will be dependent on our receiving dividends from our operating subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries through which we provide our operations outsourcing and mutual fund processing services, are regulated and may be subject to restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to us.

ITEM 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the results of operations and financial condition of Broadridge during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011, and 2010 and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Certain information contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature and which may be identified by the use of words like “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “we believe,” “could be” and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. Our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results discussed in this Item 7 because of various factors, including those set forth elsewhere herein. See “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Broadridge is a leading global provider of investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks/broker-dealers, mutual funds and corporate issuers. Our systems and services include investor communication solutions, and securities processing and operations outsourcing solutions. In short, we provide the infrastructure that helps the financial services industry operate. With 50 years of experience, we provide financial services firms with advanced, dependable, scalable and cost-effective integrated systems. Our systems help reduce the need for clients to make significant capital investments in operations infrastructure, thereby allowing them to increase their focus on core business activities. Our operations are classified into two business segments: Investor Communication Solutions and Securities Processing Solutions.

Investor Communication Solutions

A large portion of our Investor Communication Solutions business involves the processing and distribution of proxy materials to investors in equity securities and mutual funds, as well as the facilitation of related vote processing. ProxyEdge, our innovative electronic proxy delivery and voting solution for institutional investors, helps ensure the participation of the largest stockholders of many companies. We also provide the distribution of regulatory reports and corporate action/reorganization event information, as well as tax reporting solutions that help our clients meet their regulatory compliance needs. In addition, we provide financial information distribution and transaction reporting services to both financial institutions and securities issuers. These services include the processing and distribution of account statements and trade confirmations, traditional and personalized document fulfillment and content management services, marketing communications, and imaging, archival and workflow solutions that enable and enhance our clients’ communications with investors. All of these communications are delivered in paper or electronic form.

Two years ago, Broadridge entered the transfer agency business through its acquisition of StockTrans, Inc. (renamed Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.), a provider of registrar, stock transfer and record-keeping services.

In fiscal year 2011, the Company acquired three businesses in the Investor Communication Solutions segment. In August 2010, the Company acquired NewRiver, Inc. (“NewRiver”), a leader in mutual fund electronic investor disclosure solutions. In December 2010, the Company acquired Forefield, Inc. (“Forefield”), a leading provider of real-time sales, education and client communication solutions for financial institutions and their advisors. In January 2011, the Company acquired Matrix Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Matrix”). Matrix is a provider of mutual fund processing services for third party administrators, financial advisors, banks and wealth management professionals. Matrix’s back-office, trust, custody, trading and mutual fund settlement services are integrated into our product suite thereby strengthening Broadridge’s role as a provider of data processing and distribution channel solutions to the mutual fund industry.

Securities Processing Solutions

We offer a suite of advanced computerized real-time transaction processing services that automate the securities transaction lifecycle, from desktop productivity tools, data aggregation, performance reporting, and portfolio management to order capture and execution, trade confirmation, settlement, and accounting. Our services help financial institutions efficiently and cost-effectively consolidate their books and records, gather and service assets under management, focus on their core businesses, and manage risk. With multi-currency capabilities, our Global Processing Solution supports real-time global trading of equity, option, mutual fund, and fixed income securities in established and emerging markets. In addition, our operations outsourcing solutions allow broker-dealers to outsource certain administrative functions relating to clearing and settlement, from order entry to trade matching and settlement, while maintaining their ability to finance and capitalize their business.

In fiscal year 2010, the Company acquired City Networks Ltd (“City Networks”), a leading software and services provider of reconciliation, multi-asset process automation and operational risk management solutions to the global financial services industry.

In fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired Paladyne Systems, Inc. (“Paladyne”), a provider of buy-side technology solutions for the global investment management industry.

ACQUISITIONS

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company were included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to Goodwill.

Acquisitions completed by the Company with an aggregate purchase price of greater than $15.0 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, were as follows:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company acquired one business in the Securities Processing Solutions segment:

Paladyne Systems, Inc.

In September 2011, the Company acquired Paladyne, a provider of buy-side technology solutions for the global investment management industry. The purchase price was $72.4 million, net of cash acquired. Net liabilities assumed were $15.4 million. This acquisition resulted in $64.0 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $23.8 million, consist primarily of acquired software technology and customer relationships, which are being amortized over a seven-year life and ten-year life, respectively. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated operations, financial position, or cash flows.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company acquired three businesses in the Investor Communication Solutions segment. A summary of each acquisition is as follows:

NewRiver, Inc.

In August 2010, the Company acquired NewRiver, a leader in mutual fund electronic investor disclosure solutions. The purchase price was $77.6 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition resulted in $47.8 million of goodwill, after post-closing adjustments for deferred taxes. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $27.3 million, consist primarily of customer relationships and software technology, which are being amortized over an eight-year and seven-year life, respectively. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Forefield, Inc.

In December 2010, the Company acquired Forefield, a leading provider of real-time sales, education and client communication solutions for financial institutions and their advisors. The purchase price was $18.3 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition resulted in $11.1 million of goodwill, after post-closing adjustments for deferred taxes. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $6.8 million, primarily consist of customer relationships and software technology that are being amortized over a seven-year and a five-year life, respectively. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Matrix Financial Solutions, Inc.

In January 2011, the Company acquired Matrix, a provider of mutual fund processing services for third party administrators, financial advisors, banks and wealth management professionals. The purchase price was $197.6 million, net of cash acquired.

This acquisition resulted in $154.7 million of goodwill, after post-closing adjustments for deferred taxes. Goodwill primarily resulted from the Company’s expectation of sales growth and cost synergies from the integration of Matrix’s technology and product offerings with the Company’s technology and operations to provide an expansion of products and market reach. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $71.5 million, consist of customer relationships, software technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements, and are being amortized over a ten-year, seven-year, five-year and three-year life, respectively. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company acquired one business in the Securities Processing Solutions segment:

City Networks, Ltd

In June 2010, the Company acquired City Networks, a leading software and services provider of reconciliation, multi-asset process automation and operational risk management solutions to the global financial services industry, for $37.7 million. This acquisition resulted in $20.9 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $10.6 million, consist primarily of customer relationships and acquired software technology, which are being amortized over a ten-year life and five-year life, respectively. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.

The Company also completed acquisitions with individual aggregate purchase prices of less than $15.0 million during fiscal year 2010 which were not material to the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

DIVESTITURES

In November 2009, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (“Ridge”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Penson Worldwide, Inc. (“PWI”) and Penson Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PWI (“PFSI,” referred to together with PWI as “Penson”), to sell substantially all contracts of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI.

On June 25, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the contracts of substantially all of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI for an aggregate purchase price of $35.2 million. The purchase price paid to Broadridge consisted of (i) a five-year subordinated note from PWI (the “Seller Note”) in the principal amount of $20.6 million bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 550 basis points, and (ii) 2,455,627 shares of PWI’s common stock (representing 9.5% of PWI’s outstanding common

30

##### Table of Contents

stock as of May 31, 2010), at the June 25, 2010 closing price of PWI’s common stock of $5.95 per share (the “Seller Shares”). As a result of this transaction, we no longer provide securities clearing services for correspondent broker-dealers but continue to provide operations outsourcing solutions aligned with the Securities Processing Solutions business. See Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion on the Seller Note and the Seller Shares.

Concurrent with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a master services agreement with PWI (the “Outsourcing Services Agreement”) for an eleven-year term expiring in December 2022. Under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, Ridge provided securities processing and back-office support services to PFSI, including services for the clients acquired from Ridge and PWI’s existing clients. As of January 2012, the Company completed the conversion of PWI’s U.S. and Canadian businesses. On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a ten-year master services agreement (the “Apex MSA”) with Apex Clearing Corporation (“Apex Clearing”) under which Broadridge will perform outsourcing services for Apex Clearing consistent with the securities processing and back-office support services it had previously performed for Penson. The Apex MSA was part of a series of related transactions involving Broadridge, Penson, PEAK6 Investments, L.P. (“PEAK6”) and Apex Clearing Holdings LLC (“Apex Holdings”), an entity created by Penson and PEAK6 to provide clearing and related services to Penson’s U.S. securities correspondents. As part of the series of related transactions, Broadridge transferred ownership of its broker-dealer subsidiary, Ridge, to Apex Holdings and Ridge was renamed Apex Clearing Corporation. Penson’s U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary, PFSI, then sold its U.S. clearing contracts to Apex Clearing.

In addition, on June 5, 2012, Broadridge, Ridge (prior to its transfer to Apex Holdings) and Broadridge Financial Solutions (Canada), Inc. entered into a termination and mutual release agreement with PWI, PFSI and Penson Financial Services Canada, Inc. (“PFSC”) (the “Termination Agreement”), thereby terminating certain schedules including the U.S. schedule (the “U.S. Schedule”) to the Outsourcing Services Agreement. See Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion on the impact of the Termination Agreement.

The Termination Agreement: (i) terminates the schedules under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, including the U.S. Schedule, other than to the extent necessary to provide any transition services that may be required under the Apex MSA and for Broadridge to continue to service Penson’s Canadian subsidiary, PFSC; and (ii) terminates, discharges and releases in full PWI’s obligations, including all obligations to make principal and interest payments, under the Seller Note. The Termination Agreement also provides that PWI and Broadridge mutually release all claims arising under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, provided that Broadridge will retain claims of up to $20 million under the Outsourcing Services Agreement against PFSC while PWI will retain all of its rights under the Outsourcing Services Agreement to defend any such claims against PFSC.

See Note 8, “Discontinued Operations” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information on discontinued operations.

BORROWINGS

On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,190.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $440.0 million five-year term loan, a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility. In May 2007, the Company refinanced the $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility through an offering of $250.0 million of 6.125% Senior Notes discussed below. Borrowings under the five-year term loan facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 40 to 90 basis points based on debt ratings at the time of the borrowing. The five-year term loan facility was subject to interest at LIBOR plus 40 basis points as of June 30, 2011. Borrowings under the five-year revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 27 to 75 basis points based on debt ratings and the utilization percentage of the facility at the time of the borrowing. At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million on the five-year revolving credit facility and $200.0 million on the five-year term loan facility.

On September 22, 2011, the Company entered into a $990.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $490.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively the “Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan and Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility also has an annual facility fee equal to 15 basis points, on the unused portion of the facility. The Company incurred $3.0 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities, of which $0.1 million of these costs were expensed as incurred and $2.9 million of these costs have been capitalized in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of these facilities. At June 30, 2012, $0.4 million had been amortized related to the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities.

The Company used a portion of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan proceeds to repay $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year term loan and $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year revolving credit facility. The previous five-year term loan facility and the previous five-year revolving credit facility both had expiration dates of March 2012 and were cancelled upon repayment in September 2011. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year term loan facility was 0.65% and 0.77% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year revolving credit facility was 0.51% and 0.57% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Fiscal 2012 Term Loan contains a repayment schedule that requires the Company to make minimum principal repayments on the loan of $12.3 million, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the first payment due by March 31, 2013, and the final payment due by June 30, 2016, for a total repayment of $171.5 million before the balance of the loan becomes due in September 2016.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company repaid $90.0 million of the $490.0 million of borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, any prepayment of a term borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayment, in direct order of maturity, with no prepayment penalty. At June 30, 2012, the Company had met the repayment requirements on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan through September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, as a portion of the outstanding borrowing is paid down, the total borrowing capacity is reduced commensurately, leaving a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million at June 30, 2012. The weighted-average interest rate on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan was 1.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities are subject to covenants, including financial covenants consisting of a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of any non-compliance with the financial covenants of the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities. The carrying value of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan approximates fair value.

In May 2007, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 99.1% (effective yield to maturity of 6.251%). The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain covenants including covenants restricting the Company’s ability to create or incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money and to enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of non-compliance with the financial covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The indenture also contains covenants regarding the purchase of the Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with our other senior indebtedness. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time before their maturity. The Company incurred $1.9 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Senior Notes. These costs have been capitalized and will be amortized to interest

expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the ten-year term. At June 30, 2012, $0.8 million had been amortized related to the Senior Notes. The fair value of the fixed-rate Senior Notes at June 30, 2012 was $137.6 million based on quoted market prices.

Please refer to Note 13, “Borrowings” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These Consolidated Financial Statements present the consolidated position of the Company. These Consolidated Financial Statements include the entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest and various entities in which the Company has investments recorded under the cost and equity methods of accounting. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results reported. The results of operations reported for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for subsequent periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and are believed to be reasonable. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed below.

Goodwill. We review the carrying value of all our goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC No. 350”), by comparing the carrying value of our reporting units to their fair values. We are required to perform this comparison at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. When determining fair value, we utilize a discounted future cash flow approach using various assumptions, including projections of revenues based on assumed long-term growth rates, estimated costs and appropriate discount rates based on the particular business’ weighted-average cost of capital. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected future operating cash flows, the weighted-average cost of capital and the terminal value growth rate assumptions. The weighted-average cost of capital takes into account the relative weights of each component of our consolidated capital structure (equity and long-term debt). Our estimates of long-term growth and costs are based on historical data, various internal estimates and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-range planning process. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in goodwill impairments in future periods. We had $780.0 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2012. Given the significance of our goodwill, an adverse change to the fair value could result in an impairment charge, which could be material to our earnings.

The Company performs a sensitivity analysis under Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test as prescribed in ASC No. 350, assuming hypothetical reductions in the fair values of our reporting units. A 10% change in our estimates of projected future operating cash flows, discount rates, or terminal value growth rates used in our calculations of the fair values of the reporting units would not result in an impairment of our goodwill.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes,” which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of

33

##### Table of Contents

accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof). The Company is subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, state and foreign tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2012, we had estimated foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21.7 million of which $0.6 million expires in 2017 through 2027 and $21.1 million which has an indefinite utilization period. In addition, the Company has estimated U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $63.6 million, which expire in 2018 through 2032. We have recorded valuation allowances of $14.7 million and $12.1 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating and capital loss carryforwards of certain subsidiaries to offset future taxable earnings.

Share-based Payments. ASC No. 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. We determine the fair value of stock options issued by using a binomial option-pricing model. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial option-pricing model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of our stock price and other factors. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The binomial option-pricing model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected life of the stock option grants is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Determining these assumptions are subjective and complex, and therefore, a change in the assumptions utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of our stock options. A hypothetical change of five percentage points applied to the volatility assumption used to determine the fair value of the fiscal year 2012 stock option grants would result in approximately a $1.1 million change in total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year 2012 grants, which would be amortized over the vesting period. A hypothetical change of one year in the expected life assumption used to determine the fair value of the fiscal year 2012 stock option grants would result in approximately a $0.2 million change in the total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year 2012 grants, which would be amortized over the vesting period. A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the forfeiture rate assumption used for the fiscal year 2012 stock option grants would result in approximately a $0.1 million change in the total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year 2012 grants, which would be amortized over the vesting period. A hypothetical one-half percentage point change in the dividend yield assumption used to determine the fair value of the fiscal year 2012 stock option grants would result in approximately a $0.4 million change in the total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year 2012 grants, which would be amortized over the vesting period.

IBM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AGREEMENT

In March 2010, the Company and IBM entered into the IT Services Agreement, under which IBM provides certain aspects of the Company’s information technology infrastructure that were previously provided by ADP. Under the IT Services Agreement, IBM will provide a broad range of technology services to the Company including supporting its mainframe, midrange, server, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. The Company has the option of incorporating additional services into the agreement over time. The IT Services Agreement expires on June 30, 2022. The Company has the right to renew the initial term of the IT Services Agreement for up to one additional 12-month term.

The migration of our data center processing from ADP to IBM was substantially completed in June 2012. ADP will continue to perform data processing services until August 2012, when the migration to IBM is

34

##### Table of Contents

expected to be complete. The Company is anticipating that it will realize approximately $25.0 million in average annual cost savings, net of deferred cost amortization, over the term of the IT Services Agreement beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

During the course of the migration to IBM, the Company incurred migration costs as part of establishing an operable IBM data center. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded expenses of $24.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to this agreement. The Company currently estimates that it will incur total migration costs of approximately $85.0 million related to this agreement until the migration is complete. We expensed approximately $30.9 million of these costs and we capitalized the remaining $52.7 million of the migration costs through June 30, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussions of Analysis of Consolidated Statements of Earnings from Continuing Operations and Analysis of Reportable Segments refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The following discussions of the Company’s results of continuing operations exclude the results related to the securities clearing business. This business is segregated from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The Analysis of Consolidated Statements of Earnings from Continuing Operations should be read in conjunction with the Analysis of Reportable Segments, which provides more detailed discussions concerning certain components of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings from Continuing Operations.

The following references are utilized in the discussions of Analysis of Consolidated Statements of Earnings from Continuing Operations and Analysis of Reportable Segments:

“Acquisitions” refers to the Company’s acquisitions of Matrix, NewRiver, and Forefield in the Investor Communication Solutions segment and Paladyne in our Securities Processing Solutions segment.

“IBM Migration costs” refers to costs related to the Company’s IT Services Agreement with IBM and the associated migration of the Company’s data center to IBM.

“Penson Charges, net” referred to herein represents the following:

“Penson OTTI charge” refers to the charge that resulted after the Company reviewed its investment in the PWI common stock for impairment. Based on the Company’s review, factoring in the level of decline in the fair value of the PWI common stock, management determined that the market value of the PWI common stock may not equal or exceed the cost basis of our investment within a reasonable period of time. After consideration of the severity and duration of this decline in fair value as well as the reasons for the decline in value, the Company believes that the impairment is “other-than-temporary” and has recorded a charge of $12.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

“Penson Note Receivable impairment charge” refers to the charge the Company recorded as a result of a restructuring support agreement Broadridge and Ridge entered into with PWI and certain of its subsidiaries on March 13, 2012. The restructuring support agreement provided for proposed transactions related to the restructuring of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness, including the note receivable in the principal amount of $20.6 million issued by PWI to Broadridge as part of the consideration in the sale of the Ridge clearing contracts to Penson. As part of PWI’s proposed debt restructuring, Broadridge agreed to cancel this note receivable in exchange for additional shares of PWI’s common stock, and the Company recorded a $21.4 million charge at June 30, 2012, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest on the note receivable.

“Penson Deferred Costs impairment charge” refers to the charge the Company recorded as a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement on June 5, 2012. Upon termination of

35

##### Table of Contents

this agreement, Broadridge determined that a charge for impairment was appropriate on Broadridge’s deferred client conversion and start-up costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The charge taken by the Company on the Deferred Costs was $47.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, representing all deferred costs related to the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson.

“Eliminated obligation to pay or credit Penson fees” refers to Broadridge’s obligation to pay or credit to Penson fees in the amount of $15.1 million related to a third party vendor’s services that were replaced by the Outsourcing Services Agreement that was extinguished with the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement on June 5, 2012.

“Penson Shutdown costs” refers to costs of $8.2 million including severance, legal and other costs associated with the Penson transaction consummated on June 5, 2012 including the transfer of the Ridge entity to Apex Holdings.

The following definitions describe the Company’s Revenues:

Fee revenues in the Investor Communication Solutions segment are derived from both recurring and event-driven activity. In addition, the level of recurring and event-driven activity we process directly impacts distribution revenues. While event-driven activity is highly repeatable, it may not recur on an annual basis. The types of services we provide that comprise event-driven activity are:

| • |  | Mutual Fund Proxy: The proxy and related services we provide to mutual funds when certain events occur requiring a shareholder vote including changes in directors, sub-advisors, fee structures, investment restrictions, and mergers of funds.

| • |  | Mutual Fund Communications: Mutual fund communications services consist primarily of the distribution on behalf of mutual funds of supplemental information required to be provided to the annual mutual fund prospectus as a result of certain triggering events such as a change in portfolio managers. In addition, mutual fund communications consist of notices and marketing materials such as newsletters.

| • |  | Proxy Contests and Specials, Corporate Actions, and Other: The proxy services we provide in connection with shareholder meetings driven by special events such as proxy contests, mergers and acquisitions, and tender/exchange offers.

Event-driven fee revenues are based on the number of special events and corporate transactions we process. Event-driven activity is impacted by financial market conditions and changes in regulatory compliance requirements, resulting in fluctuations in the timing and levels of event-driven fee revenue. As such, the timing and level of event-driven activity and its potential impact on revenues and earnings is difficult to forecast.

Fiscal year 2010 pre-sale fulfillment revenues have been reclassified from event-driven revenues to recurring revenues to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Generally, mutual fund proxy activity has been subject to a greater level of volatility than the other components of event-driven activity. During fiscal year 2010, the Company processed a record level of mutual fund proxy activity. In contrast, during fiscal years 2011 and 2012, mutual fund proxy fee revenues were 74% and 28% lower respectively, than their prior fiscal years. Although it is difficult to forecast the levels of event-driven activity, we expect that the portion of fee revenues derived from mutual fund proxy activity may continue to experience volatility in the future. However, the level of volatility experienced between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 was greater than we have experienced in prior years.

Revenues derived from sales are a component of “Net New Business,” which is defined herein as our closed sales less client losses. Closed sales represent anticipated revenues for new client contracts that were signed by Broadridge during the periods referenced. A sale is considered closed when the Company has received the signed

36

##### Table of Contents

client contract. For recurring revenue closed sales, the amount of the closed sale is generally a reasonable estimate of annual revenues based on client volumes or activity, excluding pass-through revenues such as distribution revenues. Event-driven revenue closed sales primarily occur in our Investor Communication Solutions segment. The amount of the event-driven revenue closed sale is generally a reasonable estimate of production revenues based on client volumes or activity, excluding pass-through revenues such as distribution revenues. Broadridge’s determination of the amount of a closed sale is based on the client’s estimate of transaction volumes and activity levels, as our fees are largely based on transaction volume and activity levels. The inherent variability of transaction volumes and activity levels can result in some variability of amounts reported as closed sales. Larger recurring revenue closed sales can take up to 12 to 24 months to convert to revenues, particularly for the services provided by our Securities Processing Solutions segment. The majority of event-driven revenue closed sales are usually recognized during the year the contract is signed.

The Company tracks actual revenue achieved during the first year that the client contract is fully implemented and compares this to the amount that was included in the Company’s previously reported closed sales amount. The Company adjusts the current year closed sales amount for any difference between the prior year’s reported closed sales amount and the actual revenue achieved in the first year of the applicable contract. Closed sales were adjusted by $(3.1) million, $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Recurring revenue closed sales were adjusted by $(3.1) million, $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

partially offset by lower event-driven fee revenues, which declined from $135.0 million to $131.9 million, or $3.1 million, mainly due to lower mutual fund proxy activity. The positive contribution from recurring fee revenues reflected higher Net New Business, revenues from internal growth, gains from Acquisitions, and the Outsourcing Services Agreement. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates were unfavorably impacted by $0.2 million. Revenues from Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement contributed $109.8 million.

Closed sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $148.7 million, an increase of $15.0 million, or 11%, compared to $133.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Recurring revenue closed sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $120.2 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 6%, compared to $113.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The IBM Migration costs, Penson Charges, net, and restructuring charges contributed $105.5 million, or 51%, of the $205.4 million increase in Total expenses. Costs related to our Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement constituted $87.0 million, or 42%, of the increase in Total expenses. The remaining increases to Total expenses constitute costs related to our core business operations. These items are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs:

Cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $1,715.1 million, an increase of $98.0 million, or 6%, compared to $1,617.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The increase reflects costs of $40.1 million related to Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement, distribution costs of $8.0 million, increased IBM Migration costs of $18.3 million, restructuring charges of $6.7 million, and other variable costs of $35.4 million. Distribution cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $621.0 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 1%, compared to $613.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Distribution cost of revenues consists primarily of postage related expenses. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates decreased cost of revenues by $2.8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $299.9 million, an increase of $29.9 million, or 11%, compared to $270.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The 11% increase was mainly due to increased costs related to Acquisitions of $16.0, and higher selling expenses of $10.4 million on higher closed sales. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Selling, general and administrative expenses by $1.0 million.

Impairment and other charges, net for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $74.2 million as a result of the Penson Charges, net.

Other expenses, net for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $13.4 million, an increase of $3.3 million, compared to $10.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily driven by higher interest expense on our Long-term borrowings of $3.4 million. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates slightly decreased Other expenses, net by $1.4 million.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $200.9 million, a decrease of $68.8 million, or 26%, compared to $269.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The decrease is mainly due to higher Total expenses which more than offset the increase in Revenues. As discussed above, higher Total expenses were driven by the IBM Migration costs, Penson Charges, net, and restructuring charges. Margin decreased from 12.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 to 8.7% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The impact of the IBM Migration costs, Penson Charges, net, and restructuring charges was 460 basis points on the Margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes and Effective tax rates for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $75.9 million and 37.8%, respectively, compared to $97.9 million and 36.3%, for the fiscal

year ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The change in the Company’s Effective tax rate was attributable to a valuation allowance on capital tax losses related to the PWI common stock, a write-off of certain state net operating loss carryforwards and changes in the geographical mix of income.

Net earnings from continuing operations and Basic and Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Net earnings from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $125.0 million, a decrease of $46.8 million, or 27%, compared to $171.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in Net earnings from continuing operations reflects lower Earnings from continuing operations, as discussed above, including the impact of the IBM Migration costs, Penson Charges, net, and restructuring charges.

Basic and Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $1.01, a decrease of $0.37, or 27%, and $0.98, a decrease of $0.36, or 27%, respectively, compared to $1.38 and $1.34 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Revenues. Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $2,166.9 million, a decrease of $42.3 million, or 2%, compared to $2,209.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The 2% decrease was driven by lower event-driven fee revenues of $121.4 million, mainly the result of a decrease in mutual fund proxy activity when compared to the record level of activity during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Also contributing to the 2% decline were lower distribution revenues driven by the lower event-driven mutual fund proxy activity of $76.5 million, or 10%, down from $780.6 million to $704.1 million, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These declines were partially offset by a positive contribution from recurring fee revenues of $143.2 million reflecting gains from Acquisitions, and the Outsourcing Services Agreement, revenue from Net New Business, internal growth, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $12.4 million. Revenues from Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement contributed $122.5 million.

Closed sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $133.7 million, a decrease of $41.3 million, or 24%, compared to $175.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Recurring revenue closed sales for the

fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $113.4 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 4%, compared to $118.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the three large recurring revenue sales that are described below, recurring revenue closed sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $80.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 2%, compared to $78.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Investor Communication Solutions segment closed a fulfillment services recurring revenue sale with Fidelity Investments for $11.2 million and a transaction reporting services recurring revenue sale with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) for $40.6 million, respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Securities Processing Solutions segment closed a recurring revenue sale with a large global institutional bank for equity and fixed income securities processing services of $22.2 million. Event-driven revenue closed sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $20.3 million, a decrease of $36.0 million, or 64%, compared to $56.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to lower registered mutual fund proxy and solicitation services.

Total Expenses. Total expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $1,897.2 million, an increase of $30.1 million, or 2%, compared to $1,867.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase reflects higher Cost of revenues of $0.7 million, higher Selling, general and administrative expenses of $28.4 million, or 12%, and higher Other expenses, net of $1.0 million, or 11%. The increase in Total expenses relate mainly to Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement of $136.6 million and IBM Migration costs of $6.3 million, mostly offset by $112.8 million of lower expenses mainly from lower event-driven activity including the decline in cost of distribution revenues as discussed above.

Cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $1,617.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million, compared to $1,616.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase reflects costs of $105.9 million related to acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement, IBM Migration costs of $6.3 million, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $5.5 million, virtually offset by lower distribution costs related to lower distribution revenues of $100.7 million (excluding Acquisitions and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates) and other variable costs of $17.0 million. Distribution cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $613.5 million, a decrease of $72.2 million, or 11%, compared to $685.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Distribution cost of revenues consist primarily of postage related expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $270.0 million, an increase of $28.4 million, or 12%, compared to $241.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The 12% increase is primarily due to increased costs of $30.7 million related to Acquisitions and the Outsourcing Services Agreement.

Other expenses, net for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $10.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 11%, compared to $9.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly due to the net impact of a higher foreign currency exchange loss of $2.7 million and higher interest income of $1.5 million.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $269.7 million, a decrease of $72.4 million, or 21%, compared to $342.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is mainly due to lower revenues and higher expenses as discussed above. Margin decreased from 15.5% to 12.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was unfavorably impacted by 180 basis points as a result of the impact of Acquisitions, the Outsourcing Services Agreement, and IBM Migration costs.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes and Effective tax rates for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $97.9 million and 36.3%, respectively, compared to $117.0 million and 34.2%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in the Effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to the one-time recognition of tax benefits associated with the release of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset for certain tax loss carryforwards in fiscal year 2010.

ANALYSIS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As a result of Broadridge’s sale of substantially all of the contracts of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI, Broadridge now has two reportable operating business segments: (1) Investor Communication Solutions and (2) Securities Processing Solutions. Ridge’s securities clearing business is reflected in discontinued operations (see Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” and Note 8, “Discontinued Operations” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information on discontinued operations), and the operations outsourcing solutions business is now reported as part of the Securities Processing Solutions business segment. This change is reflected in all prior periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The primary components of “Other” are IBM Migration costs, Penson Charges, net, restructuring charges, and the elimination of intersegment revenues and profits as well as certain unallocated expenses. Foreign exchange is a reconciling item between the actual foreign exchange rates and budgeted foreign exchange rates.

Certain corporate expenses, as well as certain centrally managed expenses, are allocated based upon budgeted amounts in a reasonable manner. Because the Company compensates the management of its various businesses on, among other factors, segment profit, the Company may elect to record certain segment-related expense items of an unusual or non-recurring nature in consolidation rather than reflect such items in segment profit.

Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

Revenues. Investor Communication Solutions segment’s Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $1,634.0 million, an increase of $74.6 million, or 5%, compared to $1,559.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Higher recurring fee revenues contributed $77.4 million and higher distribution revenues contributed $0.3 million, and were partially offset by lower event-driven fee revenues, which declined from $135.0 million to $131.9 million, or $3.1 million. The positive contribution from recurring fee revenues were driven primarily by Net New Business, internal growth, and Acquisitions. The decrease in event-driven fee revenues was primarily due to lower mutual fund proxy activity. Distribution revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $704.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million, compared to $704.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Position growth was positive 1% for annual equity proxy and positive 9% for mutual fund interim communications, resulting in a net increase in pieces processed for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $242.8 million, an increase of $29.4 million, or 14%, compared to $213.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to higher recurring revenues.

Revenues. Investor Communication Solutions segment’s Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $1,559.4 million, a decrease of $110.2 million, or 7%, compared to $1,669.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The 7% decrease was driven by a decline in event-driven fee revenues of $121.4 million, mainly the result of a decrease in mutual fund proxy activity when compared to the record level of activity during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Also contributing to the 7% decline were lower distribution revenues of $76.5 million, or 10%, down from $780.6 million to $704.1 million, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These declines were partially offset by recurring revenues from Acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2011 and Net New Business mainly as a result of the contract with MSSB. Position growth, a key measure in the number of pieces processed, was unchanged for annual equity proxy and a positive 9% for mutual fund interim communications. Revenues from Acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2011 contributed $74.1 million.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $213.4 million, a decrease of $59.4 million, or 22%,

Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations

We define Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations as Net earnings from continuing operations, net of taxes excluding all items associated with Penson Charges, net, IBM Migration costs, restructuring charges and the impact of one-time tax (expense)/benefit items. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP.

We use Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations as a financial measure for a number of reasons, including:

| • |  | in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated financial performance;

| • |  | we believe it is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors; and

| • |  | for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget.

We are reporting our Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations to exclude the impact of these items from our GAAP results because these items are significant and we believe this information helps our investors understand the effect of these non-recurring items on our reported results and therefore, will provide a better representation of our actual performance. Our presentation of Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, Cash and cash equivalents were $320.5 million and $241.5 million, respectively. Total stockholders’ equity was $850.5 million and $797.3 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012, net working capital was $367.1 million, compared to $(31.3) million at June 30, 2011. At the current time, and in future periods, we expect cash generated by our operations, together with existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and borrowings from the capital markets, to be sufficient to cover cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, dividends and common stock repurchases. We do not rely on short-term borrowings to meet our liquidity needs.

As of June 30, 2012, $111.4 million of the $320.5 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,190.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $440.0 million five-year term loan, a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility. In May 2007, the Company refinanced the $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility through an offering of $250.0 million of 6.125% Senior Notes discussed below. Borrowings under the five-year term loan facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 40 to 90 basis points based on debt ratings at the time of the borrowing. The five-year term loan facility was subject to interest at LIBOR plus 40 basis points as of June 30, 2011. Borrowings under the five-year revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 27 to 75 basis points based on debt ratings and the utilization percentage of the facility at the time of the borrowing. At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million on the five-year revolving credit facility and $200.0 million on the five-year term loan facility.

On September 22, 2011, the Company entered into a $990.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $490.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively the “Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan and Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility also has an annual facility fee equal to 15 basis points, on the unused portion of the facility. The Company incurred $3.0 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities, of which $0.1 million of these costs were expensed as incurred and $2.9 million of these costs have been capitalized in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of these facilities. At June 30, 2012, $0.4 million had been amortized related to the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities.

##### Table of Contents

The Company used a portion of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan proceeds to repay $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year term loan and $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year revolving credit facility. The previous five-year term loan facility and the previous five-year revolving credit facility both had expiration dates of March 2012 and were cancelled upon repayment in September 2011. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year term loan facility was 0.65% and 0.77% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year revolving credit facility was 0.51% and 0.57% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Fiscal 2012 Term Loan contains a repayment schedule that requires the Company to make minimum principal repayments on the loan of $12.3 million, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the first payment due by March 31, 2013, and the final payment due by June 30, 2016, for a total repayment of $171.5 million before the balance of the loan becomes due in September 2016.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company repaid $90.0 million of the $490.0 million of borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, any prepayment of a term borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayment, in direct order of maturity, with no prepayment penalty. At June 30, 2012, the Company had met the repayment requirements on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan through September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, as a portion of the outstanding borrowing is paid down, the total borrowing capacity is reduced commensurately, leaving a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million at June 30, 2012. The weighted-average interest rate on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan was 1.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities are subject to covenants, including financial covenants consisting of a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of any non-compliance with the financial covenants of the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities.

In May 2007, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 99.1% (effective yield to maturity of 6.251%). The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain covenants including covenants restricting the Company’s ability to create or incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money and to enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of non-compliance with the financial covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The indenture also contains covenants regarding the purchase of the Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with our other senior indebtedness. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time before their maturity. The Company incurred $1.9 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Senior Notes. These costs have been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the ten-year term. At June 30, 2012, $0.8 million had been amortized related to the Senior Notes. The fair value of the fixed-rate Senior Notes at June 30, 2012 was $137.6 million based on quoted market prices.

Please refer to Note 13, “Borrowings” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion.

Based upon current and anticipated levels of operation, we believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations, combined with borrowings available under the credit facility, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our current and anticipated cash operating requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital needs. Please refer to the discussion of cash flows used in financing activities in the following section for further discussion of our financing activities.

##### Table of Contents

Cash Flows

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $290.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to $190.9 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in working capital driven by reductions in accounts receivable due to improved collections and lower payables and accruals consistent with the seasonality of our business, which were partially offset by higher deferred costs driven by our client conversions activity and the IBM Migration costs.

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $110.5 million, a decrease of $230.3 million, compared to $340.8 million of net cash flows used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The decrease reflects lower spending of $221.1 million on acquisitions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $88.7 million, an increase of $43.4 million, compared to $45.3 million of net cash flows used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The increased use of cash in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 primarily reflects a decrease of $202.9 million of net proceeds from borrowings, after debt repayment and borrowing costs, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, offset by a decrease in purchases of common stock of $170.5 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Income Taxes

Before the spin-off from our former parent company Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”), the Company’s taxable income was included in separate income tax returns filed with the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, except for U.S. federal and certain state and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company’s taxable income is included in the income tax returns of ADP or an ADP affiliate. Subsequent to the spin-off, the Company files its own U.S. federal, state and foreign returns.

The provision for income taxes is computed as if the Company filed on a combined stand-alone or separate tax return basis, as applicable. The provision for income taxes does not reflect the Company’s inclusion in the tax returns of ADP or an ADP affiliate. Certain income taxes of the Company were paid by ADP or an ADP affiliate on behalf of the Company.

The Company, headquartered in the U.S., is routinely examined by the IRS as part of the IRS U.S. federal income tax audit of ADP and is also routinely examined by the tax authorities in the U.S. states and foreign countries in which it conducts business. The tax years under audit examination vary by tax jurisdiction. With respect to U.S. federal income taxes, the Company was a member of the ADP U.S. federal income tax consolidated group through March 30, 2007. As a member of the ADP U.S. federal income tax consolidation, the Company is included in any IRS examination of ADP for periods up to and including March 30, 2007. ADP and the Company are currently under IRS audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 which was substantially completed in fiscal year 2009. In addition, the IRS is conducting an examination of fiscal years 2003 through 2007. As a member of the ADP U.S. federal income tax consolidated group and pursuant to a tax allocation agreement between the Company and ADP, the U.S. federal income tax payable of the Company for the period ended March 30, 2007, will be assumed by ADP. In addition, any items of income or expense successfully challenged by the IRS attributable to the business operations of the Company for tax periods ended March 30, 2007 or earlier, will be tax liabilities assumed by ADP. Correspondingly, any items of income or expense attributable to the business operations of the Company for tax periods ended March 30, 2007 or earlier, which are settled favorably with the IRS by ADP will remain with ADP. Accordingly, the Company has not established any tax reserves or tax assets with respect to U.S. federal income taxes for the tax period ended March 30, 2007.

The tax allocation agreement between the Company and ADP also extends to the Company’s U.S. state income tax and most foreign income tax liabilities and tax assets. Thus, for any foreign or U.S. state income tax

47

##### Table of Contents

liabilities or tax assets relating to tax periods ended March 30, 2007 or earlier attributable to the Company’s business operations, depending on the tax jurisdiction, ADP will either make payments directly to the appropriate tax authorities or reimburse the Company for tax payments the Company made to the tax authorities that related to tax liabilities subject to the tax allocation agreement to the extent that such tax liabilities are in excess of amounts provided for in respect of such income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company including the Notes thereto, as of June 30, 2012. Similarly, to the extent that there are any tax refunds attributable to the Company’s business operations in a particular tax jurisdiction for the period ended March 30, 2007 or earlier, ADP will either receive such refund directly from the appropriate tax authorities or receive reimbursement from the Company for the refund received by the Company that is subject to the tax allocation agreement.

The Company regularly considers the likelihood of assessments in each of the jurisdictions resulting from examinations. To the extent the Company determines it has potential tax assessment in particular tax jurisdictions and that such assessments are not covered by the tax allocation agreement, the Company has established tax reserves which it believes are adequate in relation to the potential assessments. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available, when an event occurs necessitating a change to the reserves or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position has expired. The resolution of tax matters should not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings for a particular future period.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Company sponsors a Supplemental Officer Retirement Plan (the “Broadridge SORP”). The Broadridge SORP is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company will pay supplemental pension benefits to certain key officers upon retirement based upon the officers’ years of service and compensation. The amount charged to expense for the Broadridge SORP was $2.4 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Broadridge SORP is currently unfunded, and the benefit obligation under this plan was $15.7 million, $11.1 million and $7.6 million at June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company also sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Broadridge SERP”). The Broadridge SERP is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company will pay supplemental pension benefits to certain key executives upon retirement based upon the executives’ years of service and compensation. The amount charged to expense for the Broadridge SERP was $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Broadridge SERP is currently unfunded, and the benefit obligation under this plan was $1.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Other Post-retirement Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors an Executive Retiree Health Insurance Plan. It is a post-retirement benefit plan pursuant to which the Company helps defray the health care costs of certain eligible key executive retirees and qualifying dependents, based upon the retirees’ age and years of service, until they reach the age of 65. The amount charged to expense under this plan was $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The plan is currently unfunded, and the benefit obligation under this plan was $2.8 million, $3.1 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(1) | These amounts represent the principal repayments of Long-term debt and are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012, we had $524.4 million of outstanding debt consisting of $400.0 million of a term loan facility and $124.4 million in Senior Notes. See Note 13, “Borrowings” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our Borrowings and related matters. Excludes future cash payments related to interest expense as the term loan facility is variable rate and the interest payments will ultimately be determined by the rates in effect during each period.

(2) | Included in these amounts are various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements. We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business relating to facilities and equipment, as well as the licensing of software. The majority of our lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time. Certain facility and equipment leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices. Our future operating lease obligations could change if we exit certain contracts and if we enter into additional operating lease agreements.

(3) | Purchase obligations primarily relate to payments to ADP related to a data center outsourcing services agreement that expires in August 2012, payments to IBM related to the IT Services Agreement entered into in March 2010 that expires in June 2022, and purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment and other assets.

(4) | Due to the uncertainty related to the timing of the reversal of uncertain tax positions, only the uncertain tax benefit related to a transfer pricing settlement has been provided in the table above. The Company is unable to make reasonably reliable estimates related to the timing of the remaining unrecognized tax benefits expected to be paid. See Note 16, “Income Taxes” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further detail.

The Company entered into a data center outsourcing services agreement with ADP before its spin-off from ADP in March 2007 under which ADP provided the Company with data center services consistent with the services provided to the Company immediately before the spin-off, provided that the operation of the data center is the sole responsibility of ADP. Among the principal services provided by the data center are information technology services and service delivery network services. The agreement with ADP provided for increasing volumes and the addition of new services over the term. Under the agreement, ADP was responsible for hosting the mainframe, midrange, open systems, and networks. Additionally, systems engineering, network engineering, hardware engineering, network operations, data center operations, application change management, and data center disaster recovery services were managed by ADP. The March 2007 agreement expired on June 30, 2012. The Company entered into a short-term extension of the agreement which expires on August 31, 2012. The

49

##### Table of Contents

Company expects to incur $6.3 million in costs in connection with the services to be provided during this term extension. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded expenses of $111.4 million, $110.4 million and $104.8 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to the March 2007 agreement.

In March 2010, the Company and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement (the “IT Services Agreement”), under which IBM is providing certain aspects of the Company’s information technology infrastructure that are currently provided under a data center outsourcing services agreement with ADP. Under the IT Services Agreement, IBM provides a broad range of technology services to the Company including supporting its mainframe, midrange, server, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. The Company has the option of incorporating additional services into the agreement over time. The migration of the data center processing from ADP to IBM was substantially completed in June 2012, and is expected to be complete by August 31, 2012. The IT Services Agreement expires on June 30, 2022. The Company has the right to renew the initial term of the IT Services Agreement for up to one additional 12-month term. Commitments remaining under this agreement are $552.6 million through fiscal year 2022, the final year of the contract. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expenses of $24.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to this agreement. The Company capitalized $47.0 million and $5.7 million of costs related to the build out of the IBM data center in Other non-current assets in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Other Commercial Commitments

Immediately before the separation from ADP, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries established unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit with banks. These lines of credit bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points. There were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit at June 30, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, the Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes. The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010. In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s products and services. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties, or collateral arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

1981 Marcus Avenue

Lake Success, NY 11042

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

B. Basis of Presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements present the consolidated position of the Company. These financial statements include the entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest and various entities in which the Company has investments recorded under both the cost and equity methods of accounting. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Use of Estimates. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

B. Revenue Recognition. The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from fees for providing services. Revenues are recognized for the two reportable segments as follows:

| • |  | Investor Communication Solutions—Revenues are generated from processing and distributing investor communications as well as vote processing and tabulation. The Company typically enters into agreements with clients to provide services on a fee for service basis. Fees received from the rendering of services are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services have been provided and when collectability is reasonably assured.

| • |  | Securities Processing Solutions—Revenues are generated from fees for transaction processing. Client service agreements often include up-front consideration as well as a recurring fee for transaction processing. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) No. 605 “Revenue Recognition” up-front implementation fees are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the longer of the respective service term of the contract or the expected customer relationship period which commences after client acceptance when the processing term begins. Fees received from processing services are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services have been rendered and when collectability is reasonably assured. Additionally, revenues generated from outsourcing services are recognized based on fixed monthly fees in the period in which the services are rendered in accordance with the respective contractual agreement.

C. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Investment securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

D. Financial Instruments. Substantially all of the financial instruments of the Company other than Long-term debt are carried at fair values, or at carrying amounts that approximate fair values because of the short maturity of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate term loan facility approximates fair value because these instruments reflect market changes to interest rates. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate senior notes represents the face value of the long-term fixed-rate senior notes net of the unamortized discount. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate senior notes is based on quoted market prices. See Note 13, “Borrowings,” for a further discussion of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate senior notes.

E. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

Equipment |  |  | 3 to 5 years |
Buildings |  |  | 10 years |
Furniture and fixtures |  |  | 3 to 7 years |

F. Available-For-Sale Equity Securities. Available-for-sale equity securities are non-derivatives that are reflected in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, unless management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of the end of the reporting period, in which case they are reflected in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are in entities over which the Company does not have control, joint control, or significant influence. Investments are initially recognized and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are excluded

##### Table of Contents

from earnings and are included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in Other income/expenses, net and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income.

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

G. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Inventory balances of $8.6 million and $9.4 million, consisting of forms and envelopes used in the mailing of proxy materials to our customers, are reflected in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

H. Deferred Client Conversion and Start-Up Costs. Direct costs that are incurred to set up or convert a client’s systems to function with the Company’s technology are generally deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis which commences after client acceptance when the processing term begins. To the extent deferred costs exceed related implementation fee revenues, such excess costs are amortized over the service term of the contract. Deferred costs up to the amount of the related implementation fees are recognized and capitalized over the longer of the respective service term of the contract or expected customer relationship period. These deferred costs are reflected in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See Note 11, “Other non-current assets,” for a further discussion.

I. Deferred Data Center Costs. Data center costs relate to conversion costs associated with our principal data center systems and applications. Costs directly related to the activities necessary to make the data center usable for its intended purpose are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis commencing on the date the data center has achieved full functionality. These deferred costs are reflected in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See Note 11, “Other non-current assets”.

J. Goodwill. The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC No. 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC No. 350”), which states that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, using the March 31 financial statement balances. If impairment exists, a write-down to fair value (measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded.

The Company performs a sensitivity analysis under Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test as prescribed in ASC No. 350, assuming hypothetical reductions in the fair values of our reporting units. A 10% change in our estimates of projected future operating cash flows, discount rates, or terminal value growth rates used in our calculations of the fair values of the reporting units would not result in an impairment of our goodwill.

K. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC No. 360”), long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its expected estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360.

##### Table of Contents

L. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the periods. Currency transaction gains or losses are included in Other expenses, net. Gains or losses from balance sheet translation are included in Stockholders’ equity within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

M. Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the measurement of stock-based compensation expense in Net earnings based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. For stock options issued, the fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option pricing model. The binomial model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rate, and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of the Company’s stock price, and other factors. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The binomial model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected life of the stock option grants is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

N. Internal Use Software. Expenditures for major software purchases and software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized over a three- to five-year period on a straight-line basis. For software developed or obtained for internal use, the Company capitalizes these costs in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 350-40, “Internal Use Software.” The Company’s policy provides for the capitalization of external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal use computer software. In addition, the Company also capitalizes payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with internal use computer software projects. The amount of capitalizable payroll costs with respect to these employees is limited to direct time spent on such projects. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance, and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. The Company also expenses internal costs related to minor upgrades and enhancements, as it is impractical to separate these costs from normal maintenance activities.

O. Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be determined based on the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

P. Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed at the time the advertising takes place. Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising costs of $2.0 million, $3.0 million and $1.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Q. New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2011-08”), which amends guidance for goodwill impairment testing. The amendment allows for entities to first assess qualitative factors in determining whether or not the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If an entity concludes from this qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then performing a two-step impairment test is unnecessary. ASU No. 2011-08 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

62

##### Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”), which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASU No. 2011-05. The update, ASU No. 2011 -12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU No. 2011-12”), defers the effective date of certain presentation requirements within ASU No. 2011-05. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the Company’s current presentation.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This standard requires an entity to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU No. 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU No. 2010-29 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” an amendment of ASC No. 605-25, “Revenue Recognition” (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-01, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”). This standard provides principles for allocation of consideration among its multiple elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. The ASU introduces an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. It is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. ASU No. 2009-13 became effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

R. Subsequent Events. In preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with ASC No. 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company has reviewed events that have occurred after June 30, 2012, through the date of issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material subsequent events.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the Company’s Net earnings by the basic Weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods presented.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented date are exercisable and shares of restricted stock have vested.

As of June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the computation of diluted EPS did not include 2.6 million, 2.4 million and 4.4 million options to purchase Broadridge common stock, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4. IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER CHARGES, NET

Impairment and other charges, net of $74.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, includes charges resulting from the termination of the U.S. schedule of the outsourcing services agreement (the “Outsourcing Services Agreement”) with Penson Worldwide, Inc. (“PWI”) (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). The charges primarily include a $47.2 million impairment of the deferred client conversion and start-up costs associated with the U.S. schedule of the Outsourcing Services Agreement (see Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets”) representing all deferred costs associated with Penson, a $12.5 million impairment of marketable securities relating to the Company’s investment in the common stock of PWI (see Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets”), and a $21.4 million impairment of a five-year subordinated note from PWI (see Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets”) and $8.2 million of shutdown costs. These charges were slightly offset by a $15.1 million benefit associated with the extinguishment of Broadridge’s obligation to pay or credit to PWI fees related to a third party vendor’s services replaced by the Outsourcing Services Agreement (see Note 12, “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities”). These charges are included in the Other segment (see Note 19, “Financial Data by Segment”).

NOTE 6. ACQUISITIONS

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company were included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to Goodwill.

Acquisitions completed by the Company with an aggregate purchase price of greater than $15.0 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, were as follows:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company acquired one business in the Securities Processing Solutions segment:

Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $23.8 million, consist primarily of acquired software technology and customer relationships, which are being amortized over a seven-year life and ten-year life, respectively. The results of Paladyne’s operations were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma supplemental financial information is not provided as the impact of the acquisition was not material to operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Forefield, Inc.

In December 2010, the Company acquired Forefield, Inc. (“Forefield”), a leading provider of real-time sales, education and client communication solutions for financial institutions and their advisors. The purchase price was $18.3 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition resulted in $11.1 million of goodwill, after post-closing adjustments for deferred taxes. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $6.8 million, primarily consist of customer relationships and software technology that are being amortized over a seven-year and a five-year life, respectively. The results of Forefield’s operations were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma supplemental financial information is not provided as the impact of the acquisition was not material to operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Matrix Financial Solutions, Inc.

In January 2011, the Company acquired Matrix Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Matrix”). Matrix is a provider of mutual fund processing services for third party administrators, financial advisors, banks and wealth management professionals. Matrix’s back-office, trust, custody, trading and mutual fund settlement services are integrated into Broadridge’s solution suite; thereby strengthening our role as a provider of data processing and distribution channel solutions to the mutual fund industry. The purchase price was $197.6 million, net of cash acquired.

This acquisition resulted in $154.7 million of goodwill, after post-closing adjustments for deferred taxes. Goodwill primarily resulted from the Company’s expectation of sales growth and cost synergies from the integration of Matrix’s technology and product offerings with the Company’s technology and operations to provide an expansion of products and market reach. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $71.5 million, consist of customer relationships, software technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements, and are being amortized over a ten-year, seven-year, five-year and three-year life, respectively. The results of Matrix’s operations were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma supplemental financial information is not provided as the impact of the acquisition was not material to operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

City Networks, Ltd

In June 2010, the Company acquired City Networks Ltd (“City Networks”), a leading software and services provider of reconciliation, multi-asset process automation and operational risk management solutions to the global financial services industry, for $37.7 million. This acquisition resulted in $20.9 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled $10.6 million, consist primarily of customer relationships and acquired software technology, which are being amortized over a ten-year life and five-year life, respectively. The results of City Networks’ operations were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma supplemental financial information is not provided as the impact of the acquisition was not material to operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

The Company also completed acquisitions with individual aggregate purchase prices of less than $15.0 million during fiscal year 2010 which were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 |  | Inputs that are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 |  | Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These instruments include money market funds.
Level 3 |  | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In valuing assets and liabilities, the Company is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of its Level 1 and Level 2 instruments based on the exchange traded price of similar or identical instruments where available or based on other observable instruments. These calculations take into consideration the credit risk of both the Company and its counterparties. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

A note receivable of $20.6 million from PWI was included as a financial asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010; however, this financial asset was not being measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Therefore, this note receivable was subsequently removed from the table for June 30, 2011.

The Company did not incur any Level 3 fair value asset impairments during fiscal years 2012 and 2011. This Level 2 asset, which was being measured on a non-recurring basis, was impaired as of June 30, 2012 (see Note 11, “Other non-current assets”).

NOTE 8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In November 2009, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (“Ridge”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with PWI and Penson Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PWI (“PFSI,” referred to together with PWI as “Penson”), to sell substantially all contracts of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI.

On June 25, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the contracts of substantially all of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI for an aggregate purchase price of $35.2 million. The purchase price paid to Broadridge consisted of (i) a five-year subordinated note from PWI (the “Seller Note”) in the principal amount of $20.6 million bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 550 basis points, and (ii) 2,455,627 shares of PWI’s common stock (representing 9.5% of PWI’s outstanding common stock as of May 31, 2010), at the June 25, 2010 closing price of PWI’s common stock of $5.95 per share (the “Seller Shares”). The Company discontinued its securities clearing services business but continued to provide operations outsourcing solutions aligned with the Securities Processing Solutions business.

Concurrent with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Outsourcing Services Agreement for an eleven-year term expiring in December 2022. Under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, Ridge provided securities processing and back-office support services to PFSI, including services for the clients acquired from Ridge and PWI’s existing clients. In January 2012, the Company completed the conversion of PWI’s U.S. and Canadian businesses and at the time projected annual revenues under the original terms of the Outsourcing Services Agreement were approximately $50.0 million. On October 11, 2011, Broadridge entered into an amendment agreement with PWI (the “Amendment Agreement”) to expand the scope of outsourcing support services that Ridge provided to PWI under the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The expanded services were expected to result in additional annual revenues to Broadridge of $8.0 million over the remaining term of the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The Company expected to commence providing the expanded services to PWI at various dates, and expected these services to be completely transitioned by July 1, 2013. Under the Amendment Agreement, in October 2011, Broadridge provided PWI with $7.0 million in consideration of the additional services and other amendments contemplated by the Amendment Agreement, and to defray the costs of PWI associated with the conversion to the Broadridge platform. To the extent that the expanded services provided less than $8.0 million of annualized fees to Broadridge by July 1, 2013, PWI would

have been obligated to pay Broadridge an amount equal to the shortfall of such fees below $7.0 million by August 1, 2013. In addition, on October 11, 2011, PWI and Broadridge entered into an Amended and Restated Seller Note which converted the quarterly interest payment terms under the original Seller Note to the payment of interest on the maturity date of the Seller Note effective July 1, 2011.

On March 13, 2012, Broadridge and Ridge entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with Penson and certain holders of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness, which provided for proposed transactions related to the restructuring of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness (the “Restructuring”), including the Seller Note held by Broadridge. The consummation of the Restructuring was subject to the approval and acceptance of Penson’s debt holders, among other parties, and other conditions.

The Restructuring Support Agreement provided that Penson would offer to exchange the Seller Note for newly issued shares of Penson common stock which would have represented, together with Broadridge’s existing holdings in the Seller Shares, 9.9% of the outstanding common stock of Penson upon consummation of the Restructuring Support Agreement. See Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets,” for a discussion on the Seller Note and the Seller Shares.

In addition, in connection with the Restructuring, Broadridge and Penson agreed to enter into an amendment to the Outsourcing Services Agreement, which otherwise remained in place, to clarify or modify, as applicable, certain terms of the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The terms of this amendment were subject to the consummation of the Restructuring and the execution of a definitive amendment to the Outsourcing Services Agreement, and the reasonable acceptance of the terms of such amendment by the holders of a majority in principal amount of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness. On May 17, 2012, the Restructuring Support Agreement terminated automatically pursuant to its terms as PWI did not launch the proposed exchange offer as contemplated under the Restructuring Support Agreement.

On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a ten-year master services agreement (the “Apex MSA”) with Apex Clearing Corporation (“Apex Clearing”) under which Broadridge will perform outsourcing services for Apex Clearing consistent with the securities processing and back-office support services it had previously performed for Penson. The Apex MSA was part of a series of related transactions involving Broadridge, Penson, PEAK6 Investments, L.P. (“PEAK6”) and Apex Clearing Holdings LLC (“Apex Holdings”), an entity created by Penson and PEAK6 to provide clearing and related services to Penson’s U.S. securities correspondents. As part of the series of related transactions, Broadridge transferred ownership of its broker-dealer subsidiary, Ridge, to Apex Holdings and Ridge was renamed Apex Clearing Corporation. Penson’s U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary, PFSI, then sold its U.S. clearing contracts to Apex Clearing. These related transactions were all consummated on June 5, 2012.

The transfer of Ridge to Apex Holdings was made pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into by Broadridge and its subsidiary, Broadridge Securities Processing Solutions, Inc., on May 31, 2012 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Broadridge transferred ownership of Ridge, excluding certain assets and liabilities relating to its ongoing outsourcing business, to Apex Holdings, for a purchase price approximately equal to the amount of regulatory net capital transferred with Ridge, an amount that was not material to Broadridge. As a result of consummation of the transfer, Ridge is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Holdings and has been renamed Apex Clearing Corporation.

Broadridge’s fees under the Apex MSA are based on a percentage of Apex Clearing’s revenues, and the Apex MSA provides for a termination fee to be paid to Broadridge in the event it is terminated by Apex Clearing for convenience during its term. In addition, Broadridge has agreed that in the event PFSI becomes incapable of performing transition outsourcing services for Apex Clearing under a transition services agreement between PFSI and Apex Clearing during a transition period not to exceed 24 months, Broadridge will perform those transition outsourcing services.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, on June 5, 2012, Broadridge, Ridge (prior to its transfer to Apex Holdings) and Broadridge Financial Solutions (Canada), Inc. entered into a termination and mutual release agreement with Penson, PFSI and Penson Financial Services Canada, Inc. (“PFSC”) (the “Termination Agreement”), thereby terminating certain schedules including the U.S. schedule (the “U.S. Schedule”) to the Outsourcing Services Agreement.

The Termination Agreement: (i) terminates the schedules under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, including the U.S. Schedule, other than to the extent necessary to provide any transition services that may be required under the Apex MSA and for Broadridge to continue to service Penson’s Canadian subsidiary, PFSC; and (ii) terminates, discharges and releases in full Penson’s obligations, including all obligations to make principal and interest payments, under the Seller Note. The Termination Agreement also provides that Penson and Broadridge mutually release all claims arising under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, provided that Broadridge will retain claims of up to $20 million under the Outsourcing Services Agreement against PFSC while Penson will retain all of its rights under the Outsourcing Services Agreement to defend any such claims against PFSC.

On June 5, 2012, as a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement, Broadridge made the determination to impair the deferred client conversion and start-up costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement (the “Deferred Costs”). The charge taken by the Company on the Deferred Costs was $47.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (see Note 11, “Other Non-current Assets”), representing all deferred costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson. In addition, as a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement on June 5, 2012, Broadridge’s obligation to pay or credit to Penson fees in the amount of $15.1 million related to a third party vendor’s services that were replaced by the Outsourcing Services Agreement was extinguished (see Note 12, “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities”).

For a period of time in fiscal year 2011, the Company continued to generate cash flows and reported income statement activity in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, associated with the securities clearing business. The activities that gave rise to these cash flows and income statement activities were transitional in nature.

In fiscal year 2012, accumulated amortization was reduced by $20.4 million of asset retirements related to fully depreciated intangibles.

Other intangibles consist primarily of purchased rights, covenants, patents, and trademarks (acquired directly or through acquisitions). All of the intangible assets have finite lives and, as such, are subject to amortization. The weighted-average remaining useful life of the intangible assets is 5.8 years (4.2 years for software and software licenses, 7.5 years for customer contracts and lists and 4.9 years for other intangibles). Amortization of intangibles totaled $37.0 million, $21.8 million, and $9.0 million for fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Estimated remaining amortization expenses of the Company’s existing intangible assets for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

Deferred Client Conversion and Start-up Costs

Included in Deferred client conversion and start-up costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $47.2 million of deferred client conversion and start-up costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). In reviewing these assets for impairment, management considered: (1) the terms and conditions of the Outsourcing Services Agreement, (2) PWI’s

72

##### Table of Contents

progress toward its stated financial improvement plan and the anticipated improvement to its overall financial condition, (3) the outlook for PWI’s business, and (4) the payment status of the Company’s trade account receivables with Penson. In addition, the Company used its best efforts to calculate the probability of the Company realizing potential weighted undiscounted cash flows related to the Outsourcing Services Agreement based on the occurrence of a number of various scenarios. On June 5, 2012, as a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement, Broadridge determined that a material charge for impairment would be taken on the deferred costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The charge taken by the Company on the Deferred Costs was $47.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, representing all deferred costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson.

Note Receivable

The Note receivable refers to the Seller Note in the principal amount of $20.6 million issued by PWI to Broadridge as part of the consideration in the sale of the Ridge clearing contracts to Penson (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). On March 13, 2012, Broadridge and Ridge entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with PWI and certain of its subsidiaries, which provided for proposed transactions related to the restructuring of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness, including the Seller Note. As part of PWI’s debt restructuring, Broadridge agreed to cancel this note receivable in exchange for additional shares of PWI’s common stock, and the Company recorded a $21.4 million charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest on the Seller Note. On May 17, 2012, the Restructuring Support Agreement terminated automatically pursuant to its terms as PWI did not launch the proposed exchange offer as contemplated under the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Long-term Investments

Included in Long-term investments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was the Company’s investment of 2,455,627 shares in the common stock of PWI (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management’s policy considers, but is not limited to, the following: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on the Company’s review, factoring in the level of decline in the fair value of the PWI common stock, management determined that the market value of the PWI common stock may not equal or exceed the cost basis of the Company’s investment within a reasonable period of time. After consideration of the severity and duration of this decline in fair value, as well as the reasons for the decline in value, the Company determined that there was an “other-than-temporary” impairment (“OTTI”) related to the Company’s investment in PWI common stock, for which the Company recorded a $12.5 million charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and wrote down the cost basis of this investment to zero.

NOTE 12. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

As a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement on June 5, 2012, Broadridge’s obligation to pay or credit to Penson fees in the amount of $15.1 million related to a third party vendor’s services that were replaced by the Outsourcing Services Agreement was extinguished. $9.7 million of this obligation was previously included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 13. BORROWINGS

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities: On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,190.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $440.0 million five-year term loan, a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility. In May 2007, the Company refinanced the $250.0 million one-year revolving credit facility through an offering of $250.0 million of 6.125% Senior Notes discussed below. Borrowings under the five-year term loan facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 40 to 90 basis points based on debt ratings at the time of the borrowing. The five-year term loan facility was subject to interest at LIBOR plus 40 basis points as of June 30, 2011. Borrowings under the five-year revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 27 to 75 basis points based on debt ratings and the utilization percentage of the facility at the time of the borrowing. At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million on the five-year revolving credit facility and $200.0 million on the five-year term loan facility.

Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities: On September 22, 2011, the Company entered into a $990.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, consisting of a $490.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively the “Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan and Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The Fiscal 2012 Revolving Credit facility also has an annual facility fee equal to 15 basis points, on the unused portion of the facility. The Company incurred $3.0 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities, of which $0.1 million of these costs were expensed as incurred and $2.9 million of these costs have been capitalized in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of these facilities. At June 30, 2012, $0.4 million had been amortized related to the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities.

The Company used a portion of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan proceeds to repay $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year term loan and $200.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the previous five-year revolving credit facility. The previous five-year term loan facility and the previous five-year revolving credit facility both had expiration dates of March 2012 and were cancelled upon repayment in September 2011. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year term loan facility was 0.65% and 0.77% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the previous five-year revolving credit facility was 0.51% and 0.57% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Fiscal 2012 Term Loan contains a repayment schedule that requires the Company to make minimum principal repayments on the loan of $12.3 million, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the first payment due by March 31, 2013, and the final payment due by June 30, 2016, for a total repayment of $171.5 million before the balance of the loan becomes due in September 2016.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company repaid $90.0 million of the $490.0 million of borrowings under the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, any prepayment of a term borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayment, in direct order of maturity, with no prepayment penalty. At June 30, 2012, the Company had met the repayment requirements on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan through September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan agreement, as a portion of the outstanding borrowing is paid down, the total borrowing capacity is reduced

commensurately, leaving a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million at June 30, 2012. The weighted-average interest rate on the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan was 1.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities are subject to covenants, including financial covenants consisting of a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of any non-compliance with the financial covenants of the Fiscal 2012 Credit Facilities. The carrying value of the Fiscal 2012 Term Loan approximates fair value.

Senior Notes: In May 2007, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 99.1% (effective yield to maturity of 6.251%). The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain covenants including covenants restricting the Company’s ability to create or incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money and to enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions. At June 30, 2012, the Company is not aware of any instances of non-compliance with the financial covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The indenture also contains covenants regarding the purchase of the Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with our other senior indebtedness. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time before their maturity. The Company incurred $1.9 million in debt issuance costs to establish the Senior Notes. These costs have been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the ten-year term. At June 30, 2012, $0.8 million had been amortized related to the Senior Notes. The fair value of the fixed-rate Senior Notes at June 30, 2012 was $137.6 million based on quoted market prices.

NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Incentive Equity Awards. The Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”) provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom stock awards, stock bonuses and performance compensation awards to employees, non-employee directors, and other key individuals who perform services for the Company. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718 which requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in Net earnings based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. In accordance with the 2007 Plan, the Company’s stock-based compensation consists of the following:

Stock Options: Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant. Stock options are generally issued under a graded vesting

schedule, generally vest ratably over five years and have a term of 10 years. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the stock option award.

Time-based Restricted Stock: The Company has a time-based restricted stock program under which shares of common stock have been issued to certain key employees. These shares are restricted as to transfer and in certain circumstances must be returned to the Company at the original purchase price. The Company records stock compensation expense relating to the issuance of time-based restricted stock over the period during which the transfer restrictions exist, which is up to five years from the date of grant. The value of the Company’s time-based restricted stock, based on market prices, is recognized as compensation expense over the restriction period on a straight-line basis. There are no shares of time-based restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2012.

Performance-based Restricted Stock: The Company has a performance-based restricted stock program under which shares of common stock will be issued to certain key employees upon the achievement, by the Company, of specific performance metrics. When it is probable that the performance metrics will be achieved, the Company records stock compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the performance period, plus a subsequent vesting period, which typically totals approximately two and one-half years from the date of grant. Certain performance-based equity awards granted to non-U.S. employees are to be settled in cash. The Company records a liability for these performance-based equity awards. The liability and the corresponding stock compensation expense are adjusted to reflect the Company’s closing stock price as of the end of each reporting period. There are no shares of performance-based restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2012.

Time-based Restricted Stock Units: The Company has a time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) program under which RSUs representing the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested RSU are granted. Time-based RSUs typically vest two and one-half years from the date of grant. The Company records stock compensation expense for time-based RSUs on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units: The Company has a performance-based RSU program under which RSUs representing the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested RSU are granted. RSUs vest upon the achievement, by the Company, of specific performance metrics. The Company records stock compensation expense for performance-based RSUs on a straight-line basis over the performance period, plus a subsequent vesting period, which typically totals approximately two and one-half years from the date of grant.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was 37.8% compared to 36.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $7.4 million one-time tax expense attributable to a valuation allowance on capital tax losses related to the PWI common stock and a write-off of certain state net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $280.3 million of earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries. The Company considers such earnings as permanently reinvested outside the U.S. and, therefore, provides no additional taxes that could occur upon repatriation. It is not practicable to determine the amount of income taxes payable in the event all such foreign earnings are repatriated.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect

The Company has estimated foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21.7 million as of June 30, 2012 of which $0.6 million expires in 2017 through 2027 and $21.1 million which has an indefinite utilization period. In addition, the Company has estimated U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $63.6 million which expire in 2018 through 2032.

The Company has recorded valuation allowances of $14.7 million and $12.1 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating and capital loss carryforwards of certain subsidiaries to offset future taxable earnings.

For fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company’s total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were $62.6 million and $47.0 million, respectively. The change relates to tax positions taken for the current and prior tax year. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2012 that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is approximately $22.7 million.

In the next twelve months, the Company expects to decrease its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $7.0 million as a result of a transfer pricing settlement for the years 2007 through 2010 and certain state settlements.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized approximately $1.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in interest and penalties.

The Company is continuously subject to U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax exams for the periods beginning March 31, 2007 through June 30, 2012.

NOTE 17. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. While the outcome of any claim or litigation is inherently unpredictable, and with the exception of the matter described in the following paragraph, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 28, 2010, the Company filed a declaratory action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware District Court”) against Inveshare, Inc. (the “Defendant”) seeking a declaration by the court that Broadridge does not infringe two U.S. patents owned by the Defendant that included claims related to the delivery and distribution of an electronic solicitation. The Company’s complaint also alleged that the Defendant’s patents are invalid and/or are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. On March 22, 2010, the Defendant answered the Company’s complaint and filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that Broadridge uses a process that infringes one of the patents in the action. In its counterclaim, Defendant is seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages. This lawsuit is in an early procedural stage, with the Delaware District Court recently issuing its claim construction ruling on April 11, 2012; however, due to the limited scope of this matter, the Company believes that the outcome of this litigation would not result in a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company entered into a data center outsourcing services agreement with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”) before its spin-off from ADP in March 2007 under which ADP provided the Company with data center services consistent with the services provided to the Company immediately before the spin-off, provided that the operation of the data center is the sole responsibility of ADP. Among the principal services provided by the data center are information technology services and service delivery network services. The agreement with ADP provided for increasing volumes and the addition of new services over the term. Under the agreement, ADP was responsible for hosting the mainframe, midrange, open systems, and networks. Additionally, systems engineering, network engineering, hardware engineering, network operations, data center operations, application change management, and data center disaster recovery services were managed by ADP. The March 2007 agreement expired on June 30, 2012. The Company entered into a short-term extension of the agreement which expires on August 31, 2012. The Company expects to incur $6.3 million in costs in connection with the services

to be provided during this term extension. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded expenses of $111.4 million, $110.4 million and $104.8 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to the March 2007 agreement.

In March 2010, the Company and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement (the “IT Services Agreement”), under which IBM is providing certain aspects of the Company’s information technology infrastructure that are currently provided under a data center outsourcing services agreement with ADP. Under the IT Services Agreement, IBM provides a broad range of technology services to the Company including supporting its mainframe, midrange, server, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. The Company has the option of incorporating additional services into the agreement over time. The migration of the data center processing from ADP to IBM was substantially completed in June 2012, and is expected to be complete by August 31, 2012. The IT Services Agreement expires on June 30, 2022. The Company has the right to renew the initial term of the IT Services Agreement for up to one additional 12-month term. Commitments remaining under this agreement are $552.6 million through fiscal year 2022, the final year of the contract. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expenses of $24.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to this agreement. The Company capitalized $47.0 million and $5.7 million of costs related to the build out of the IBM data center in Other non-current assets in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases, software license agreements and data center outsourcing services agreements. Total expense under the above agreements was approximately $203.4 million, $181.3 million and $162.1 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, with minimum commitments under these obligations at June 30, 2012 as follows:

Years Ending June 30, |  | ($ in millions) |
2013 |  | $ | 109.8 |
2014 |  |  | 88.1 |

2016 |  |  | 76.0 |
2017 |  |  | 72.6 |
Thereafter |  |  | 273.6 |
|  | $ | 698.8 |

In addition to fixed rentals, certain leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had purchase commitments of approximately $2.9 million comprised primarily of maintenance contracts, the majority of which relate to fiscal year 2013.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit for $0.7 million. This letter of credit was issued in May 2007 to guarantee certain claim payments to a third-party insurance company in the event the Company does not pay its portion of the claims. No amounts were drawn on this letter of credit.

In addition, the Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, the Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company may use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes. The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments as of

June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s products and services. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties, or collateral arrangements.

NOTE 18. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income is a measure of income that includes both Net earnings and Other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) results from items deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Stockholders’ equity. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $(12.6) million, $17.5 million and $(8.3) million in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) |  | $ | 3.5 |  |  | $ | 16.1 |  |  | $ | (1.4 | )

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL DATA BY SEGMENT

The Company classifies its operations into the following two reportable segments: (1) Investor Communication Solutions and (2) Securities Processing Solutions. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for a further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments. The primary components of “Other” are the elimination of intersegment revenues and profits as well as certain unallocated expenses. Foreign exchange is a reconciling item between the actual foreign exchange rates and fiscal year 2012 budgeted foreign exchange rates. The prior fiscal years’ reportable segment Revenues and Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated fiscal year 2012 budgeted foreign exchange rates, this adjustment represents a reconciling difference to Revenues and Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes.

Certain corporate expenses, as well as certain centrally managed expenses, are allocated based upon budgeted amounts in a reasonable manner. Because the Company compensates the management of its various businesses on, among other factors, segment profit, the Company may elect to record certain segment related expense items of an unusual or non-recurring nature in “Other” rather than reflect such items in segment profit.

Management Report

Attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Form 10-K are certifications of Broadridge’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended. This “Controls and Procedures” section should be read in conjunction with the Deloitte & Touche LLP audit and attestation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that appears in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of June 30, 2012, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012 were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

It is the responsibility of Broadridge’s management to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to Broadridge’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Broadridge’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Broadridge; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Broadridge are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Broadridge; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Broadridge’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements of Broadridge.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of Broadridge’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012 based upon criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that Broadridge’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2012.
