Analysis · SSNC · Technology
The quarter delivered on the metric management steers by: adjusted diluted EPS of $1.78 rose 14.8%, and adjusted revenue grew 7.8% to $1,691.1 million, including organic growth of 5.2%. Operating leverage is holding even as the company absorbs acquisitions, evidenced by record adjusted EBITDA of $674.8 million at a 39.9% margin. Management nudged full-year adjusted EPS guidance up to a $7.11-$7.17 range (midpoint $7.14 versus $7.09 previously) and tightened revenue to $6,736-$6,776 million, so the quarter supports the current earnings base rather than resetting it. The item that needs watching is the balance sheet: $2.0 billion of Senior Notes maturing September 30, 2027 are now classified as current, and the company says refinancing in Q4 2026 is probable. Net leverage of 2.63x and $1,216.3 million of nine-month operating cash flow give room, but the refinancing is the next hard date on the calendar.
