On December 21, 2021, FactSet Research Systems Inc. ("FactSet" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results for the three months ended November 30, 2021. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition), including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1 to this Report contains certain financial measures that are considered non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Exhibit 99.1 to this Report also contains the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as well as the reasons why the Company’s management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding FactSet’s results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement disclosing any other additional purposes for which the Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures.
