NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. (NYSE: MHFI) today reported second quarter 2014 results with revenue of $1.35 billion, an increase of 8% compared to the same period last year.  Taking into consideration the sale of Aviation Week as well as the sale of Financial Communications and the shutdown of several small products within S&P Capital IQ, organic revenue increased 9%.  Net income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $292 million and $1.06, respectively. 

Adjusted net income from continuing operations increased 14% to $292 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 15% to $1.06.  The adjustments were in the  second quarter of 2013 and included costs necessary to establish the separation of McGraw-Hill Education.  There were no adjustments in the second quarter of 2014.

"Revenue growth was led by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and J.D. Power, each with double-digit growth.  Platts, S&P Capital IQ, and S&P Dow Jones Indices all contributed high-single digit growth.  The strong performance across all of our business units exemplifies what an outstanding portfolio of assets McGraw Hill Financial possesses," said Douglas L. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of McGraw Hill Financial. "In addition, the Company delivered adjusted diluted EPS growth of 15% despite facing the most difficult EPS comparison of the year in the second quarter."

The Outlook:  Based upon the strong results in the quarter, and its view of the second half of the year, the Company is increasing its adjusted earnings per share guidance by $0.05 to a range of $3.80 to $3.90.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services:  Quarterly revenue increased 11% to $664 million compared to the same period last year.  Revenue growth was driven by increased market demand for the Company's ratings as revenue from both global bond issuance and bank loan ratings experienced double-digit growth.

Transaction revenue increased 14% to $327 million compared to the same period last year.  This was primarily driven by strong investor demand for high-yield debt as well as increased debt issuance by financial service firms bolstering their capital reserves to meet regulatory requirements.  Bank loan ratings revenue continued to show strength with a 19% increase.

Non-transaction revenue increased 8% in the quarter and represented 51% of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' total revenue compared to 52% for the same period last year.  Non-transaction growth was driven primarily by annual fees as Standard & Poor's Ratings continues to expand its client coverage, as well as Rating Evaluation Service revenue.  

Domestic revenue increased 10% and international revenue increased 12%.  Foreign exchange rates had a negligible impact on results. International revenue represented 46% of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' total second-quarter revenue.

Expenses in the quarter increased 8% primarily due to increased legal expenses as key court cases progressed and increased compensation expense.

Operating profit increased 15% to $308 million with an operating profit margin of 46%.

S&P Capital IQ:  Revenue increased 7% to $307 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year.  Excluding previous portfolio rationalization, organic revenue growth was 8%.  Operating profit increased 10% to $54 million

The two largest pieces of the business unit -- S&P Capital IQ Desktop & Enterprise Solutions and S&P Credit Solutions -- contributed the majority of the growth.

S&P Capital IQ's international revenue increased 9% to $106 million in the second quarter and represented 35% of the business unit's total revenue.

Product rollouts continue with a wave of new desktop capabilities that are all targeted to be launched before year-end.  After introducing Credit Analytics in February, the Company released PresCenter in July.  PresCenter is a productivity tool that embeds Microsoft Office® products within the S&P Capital IQ desktop platform to allow seamless links between data and presentations.  Its "quick keys" feature can be customized and its "autocheck" function ensures compliance with corporate design guidelines.  PresCenter streamlines pitchbook creation and ensures consistency with changes in source data.

S&P Dow Jones Indices:  Revenue increased 8% to $133 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year.  Expenses increased 10% driven by compensation and the timing of marketing costs.  Quarterly operating profit increased 6% to $82 million.  Quarterly operating profit attributable to the Company increased 5% to $60 million.

Revenue increased primarily due to growth in exchange-traded funds and mutual fund licensing revenue, offset somewhat by a decline in derivative trading licensing revenue due to subdued trading volumes.  Assets under management in exchange-traded funds based on the S&P Dow Jones Indices increased 32% to a record $719 billion at the end of the quarter.  Trading volume of the exchange-traded derivatives generally declined; notably, the SPX (S&P 500 Index) and E-mini S&P 500 futures decreased 13% and 26%, respectively.

Commodities & Commercial Markets:  Revenue increased 1% to $263 million.  Operating profit was unchanged at $83 million in the second quarter compared to the same period last year.  Excluding the impact of the sale of Aviation Week in 2013, revenue increased 8% and operating profit increased approximately 6%.

Platts continued to experience steady revenue growth, delivering a 9% increase to $149 million for the period.  During the quarter, Platts' price assessment and market data subscriptions continued to deliver double-digit revenue growth while Global Trading Services licensing revenue decreased due to weaker trading volumes for natural gas and petroleum.

Commercial Markets' revenue decreased 7%; however, organic revenue grew 7% excluding the sale of Aviation Week as growth was led by J.D. Power which delivered double-digit gains.

The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for McGraw Hill Construction.

Unallocated Expense:  Unallocated expense includes corporate center functions and certain specific non-performance related items.  Adjusted unallocated expense increased by 31% to $41 million in the second quarter due to a non-cash impairment charge associated with the pending sale of the corporate aircraft as well as a one-time expense associated with the sale of the Company's data center in East Windsor, New Jersey.

Share Repurchase:  During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares bringing the year-to-date total to 4.4 million shares.  The Company now has approximately 45.6 million shares remaining under the existing authorization from the Board of Directors.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:  Cash and equivalents at the end of the second quarter were $1.6 billion, up slightly from the end of 2013.  In the first six months of the year, free cash flow from continuing operations was $392 million, an increase of $247 million from the same period in 2013. The increase was impacted by the timing of tax payments. 

Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information:  Adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit, adjusted unallocated expense, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures contained in this earnings release that are derived from the Company's continuing operations.  This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management.  These non-GAAP measures may be different than similar measures used by other companies.  Reconciliations for the differences between non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP are attached as Exhibits 5 and 8.
