NEW YORK, New York -- March 21, 2007 -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, LLC, which immediately prior to the spin-off will convert to a Delaware corporation, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), announced today that it will begin making presentations to the equity investment community in preparation for its planned March 30, 2007 spin-off from Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE: ADP). The meetings will be led by Richard Daly, Chief Executive Officer and Dan Sheldon, Chief Financial Officer. Other members of the management team, including Executive Chairman Art Weinbach, will also be in attendance at selected group meetings. The company's road show presentation and a video presentation are available on the ADP Investor Relations home page http://www.investquest.com/InvestQuest/a/adp/.
Financial Outlook
Broadridge will provide financial guidance during the presentations. Assuming completion of its separation from ADP on March 30, 2007, Broadridge expects revenue growth for fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 of 7% to 9% from fiscal 2006 revenue of $1.93 billion. For fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the company expects operating income growth, excluding expenses related to its spin-off from ADP, interest expense on new debt, and public company expenses, of 9% to 14% from fiscal year 2006 operating income of $303 million.
Our directional view for fiscal year 2008, after taking into consideration the two anticipated client losses totaling $84.5 million of revenue in fiscal year 2006 as disclosed in the company's Form 10 filing, and the continuation of current market trends, is for revenue growth in the range of 0% to 3%. In addition, the company expects operating income, excluding expenses related to its spin-off from ADP, interest expense on new debt, and public company expenses, to decrease 5% to 10%.
Broadridge's long-term objective beyond fiscal year 2008 is to deliver revenue growth of 4% to 6%, operating income growth of 6% to 9% and net income growth of 10% to 15%.

In certain circumstances, results have been presented that are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measures and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the company's reported results.
