Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of S&P Global Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of S&P Global Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2026, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedule (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 2026, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

S&P Global Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “S&P Global,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a global, diversified, and highly differentiated provider of benchmarks, data, analytics and workflow solutions in the global capital, energy and commodity, and automotive markets.

Our operations consist of five reportable segments: S&P Global Market Intelligence (“Market Intelligence”), S&P Global Ratings (“Ratings”), S&P Global Energy (“Energy”), S&P Global Mobility (“Mobility”) and S&P Dow Jones Indices (“Indices”).

•Market Intelligence is a global provider of multi-asset-class data and analytics integrated with purpose-built workflow solutions.

•Ratings is an independent provider of credit ratings, research, and analytics.

•Energy is a leading independent provider of information and benchmark prices for the energy and commodity markets.

•Mobility is a leading provider of solutions serving the full automotive value chain including vehicle manufacturers (Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEMs), automotive suppliers, mobility service providers, retailers, consumers, and finance and insurance companies.

•Indices is a global index provider maintaining a wide variety of valuation and index benchmarks for investment advisors, wealth managers and institutional investors.

On April 29, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors decided to pursue a full separation of our Mobility segment, creating a new publicly traded company. The name of the new publicly traded company, Mobility Global Inc., will be effective on day one of the separation. The transaction, which would be implemented through the spin-off of shares of the new company to S&P Global shareholders, is expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for S&P Global shareholders and is expected to be completed mid-2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary legal and regulatory requirements and approvals.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods have been included. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, business combinations, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, pension plans, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Since the date of our Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Restricted Cash

We had no restricted cash included in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Contract Assets

Contract assets include unbilled amounts from when the Company transfers service to a customer before a customer pays consideration or before payment is due. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contract assets were $107 million and $89 million, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.

Unearned Revenue

We record unearned revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our performance. The decrease in the unearned revenue balance at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by $1.8 billion of revenues recognized that were included in the unearned revenue balance at the beginning of the period, offset by cash payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for work that has not yet been performed. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $5.7 billion. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately half and three-quarters of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

We do not disclose the value of unfulfilled performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts where revenue is a usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property.

Costs to Obtain Contracts

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that the costs associated with certain sales commission programs are incremental to the costs to obtain contracts with customers and therefore meet the criteria to be capitalized. Total capitalized costs to obtain contracts were $349 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and are included in prepaid and other current assets and other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The capitalized asset will be amortized over a period consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates, calculated based on the customer term and the average life of the products and services underlying the contracts which has been determined to be approximately 2 to 5 years. The expense is recorded within selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

We expense sales commissions when incurred if the benefit of those costs is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Equity in Income on Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

On October 10, 2025, the Company and CME Group completed the sale of OSTTRA, an investment in a 50/50 joint venture arrangement with shared control with CME Group that combined each company’s post-trade services into a joint venture.

Other (Income) Expense, net

The components of other (income) expense, net for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:



(in millions)	2026		2025
Other components of net periodic benefit cost	$	(4)	$	(6)
Net loss from investments	2		10
Other (income) expense, net	$	(2)	$	4

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

On April 24, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Energy’s geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio to SLB, a global technology company driving energy innovation across more than 100 countries. This portfolio of subsurface and engineering software, widely used by U.S. onshore and unconventional operators, includes Kingdom Software, Petra, Harmony Enterprise, Analytics Explorer, SubPUMP, Power Tools, FieldDIRECT, Piper, WellTest, and The Element Platform, together with associated business services. The assets and liabilities of Energy's geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio were classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. This transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026 or early 2027. The anticipated divestiture of Energy's geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio is not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

On March 18, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Enertel AI Corporation, a company specializing in AI and machine learning-driven short-term power price forecasting for North American electricity markets. The acquisition is part of our Energy segment. With the addition of Enertel AI Corporation, Energy now delivers real-time, AI-powered nodal price forecasts and decision tools that physical power traders, utilities and asset operators rely on to navigate the rapidly evolving grid. The acquisition of Enertel AI Corporation is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not complete any material acquisitions.

Divestitures

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $175 million related to the following dispositions:

•On January 12, 2026, we completed the sale of the Enterprise Data Management and thinkFolio businesses within our Market Intelligence segment to Symphony Technology Group (“STG”), a private equity firm focused on building and scaling market-leading software, data and analytics companies. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $172 million ($168 million after-tax) in Gain on dispositions in the consolidated statement of income related to the sale of the Enterprise Data Management and thinkFolio businesses within our Market Intelligence segment.

•In March of 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $3 million ($3 million after-tax) in Gain on dispositions in the consolidated statement of income related to the sale of OSTTRA in October of 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not complete any material dispositions.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

The components of assets and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:


(in millions)	March 31,		December 31,
	2026 1		2025 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	51	$	34

Property and equipment, net	8		8
Goodwill	69		141
Other non-current assets	—		13
Assets held for sale	$	128	$	196

Accounts payable	$	2	$	9

Unearned revenue	25		34
Liabilities held for sale	$	27	$	43

1 Assets and liabilities held for sale relate to the anticipated divestiture of Energy’s geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio and the divestitures of the Enterprise Data Management and thinkFolio businesses within our Market Intelligence segment as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Additionally, assets held for sale include fixed assets related to our intent to sell our facility in Centennial, Colorado as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

3. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 21.2% and 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The lower rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to a combination of discrete adjustments including lower tax on non-US divestitures due to local exemption.

At the end of each interim period, we estimate the annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that will be separately

reported or reported net of their related tax effect, and are individually computed, is recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The Company is subject to tax examinations in various jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total amount of federal, state and local, and foreign unrecognized tax benefits was $320 million and $322 million, respectively, exclusive of interest and penalties. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and operating-related expense, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $86 million and $79 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced an international tax framework under Pillar Two that provides for a global minimum tax of 15%, which is implemented through local legislation in participating jurisdictions. The effects of Pillar Two taxes enacted in jurisdictions in which we operate have been reflected in our results and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 5, 2026, the OECD issued administrative guidance outlining a framework under which U.S.-parented groups may be excluded from the application of the OECD’s global minimum tax rules. Each member jurisdiction will need to adopt this guidance into local law, and the timing and manner of adoption may vary. We are continuing to monitor developments related to this guidance and will evaluate the impact on our financial statements as additional information becomes available.

The fair value of our total debt borrowings was $11.1 billion and $11.3 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

We have the ability to borrow a total of $2.0 billion through our commercial paper program, which is supported by our $2.0 billion five-year credit agreement (our “credit facility”) that will terminate on December 17, 2029. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had $951 million and $715 million of outstanding commercial paper, respectively.

Commitment fees for the unutilized commitments under the credit facility and applicable margins for borrowings thereunder are linked to the Company achieving three environmental sustainability performance indicators related to emissions, tested annually. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid a commitment fee of 8 basis points. Our commitment fee and our drawn margin under the credit facility will be reduced by 1 basis point and 5 basis points, respectively, for the approximately year-long period beginning April 6, 2026 as a result of our emissions performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in an acceleration of the obligations under the credit facility.

The only financial covenant in our credit facility is a requirement that our indebtedness to cash flow ratio, as defined in our credit facility, is not greater than 4 to 1, and this ratio has never been exceeded.

5. Derivative Instruments

Our exposure to market risk includes changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We have operations in foreign countries where the functional currency is primarily the local currency. For international operations that are determined to be extensions of the parent company, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. We typically have naturally hedged positions in most countries from a local currency perspective with offsetting assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate or hedge the effect of adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held cross currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries against volatility in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are recorded at fair value that is based on foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivative contracts within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We do not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Undesignated Derivative Instruments

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. These forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional value of these outstanding forward contracts was $1.5 billion. The changes in fair value of these forward contracts are recorded in prepaid and other assets or other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The amount recorded in prepaid and other current assets was $3 million and $8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount recorded in other current liabilities was $15 million and $6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount recorded in selling and general expense related to these contracts was a net loss of $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and a net gain of $49 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries against volatility in the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate. These swaps are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary and are scheduled to mature in 2029, 2030, 2032 and 2033. The notional value of our outstanding cross currency swaps designated as a net investment hedge was $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The changes in the fair value of these swaps are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive income (loss), and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet. The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into net earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold, liquidated or substantially liquidated. We have elected to assess the effectiveness of our net investment hedges based on changes in spot exchange rates. Accordingly, amounts related to the cross currency swaps recognized directly in net income represent net periodic interest settlements and accruals, which are recognized in interest expense, net. We recognized net interest income of $10 million and $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the Indian rupee, British pound, and Euro exposures through the first quarter of 2028 and the fourth quarter of 2027, respectively. These contracts are intended to offset the impact of movement of exchange rates on future revenue and operating costs and are scheduled to mature within twenty-four months. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet and are subsequently reclassified into revenue and selling and general expenses in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of March 31, 2026, we estimate that $15 million of pre-tax loss related to foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $540 million and $574 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we terminated our interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $813 million and received net proceeds of $155 million upon termination. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and were scheduled to mature beginning in the first quarter of 2027. We performed a final effectiveness test upon the termination of each swap, and the effective portion of the gain of $155 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet. A portion of the gain is being recognized into interest expense, net over the term related to the issuance of our senior notes in December of 2025 which are scheduled to mature in 2031 and 2035. We recognized interest income of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The following table provides information on the location and fair value amounts of our cash flow hedges and net investment hedges as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

6. Employee Benefits

We maintain a number of active defined contribution retirement plans for our employees. The majority of our defined benefit plans are frozen. As a result, no new employees will be permitted to enter these plans and no additional benefits for current participants in the frozen plans will be accrued.

We also have supplemental benefit plans that provide senior management with supplemental retirement, disability and death benefits. Certain supplemental retirement benefits are based on final monthly earnings. In addition, we sponsor a voluntary 401(k) plan under which we make a non-elective contribution and may match employee contributions up to certain levels of compensation as well as profit-sharing plans under which we contribute a percentage of eligible employees’ compensation to the employees’ accounts.

We also provide certain medical, dental and life insurance benefits for active employees and eligible dependents. The medical and dental plans and supplemental life insurance plan are contributory, while the basic life insurance plan is noncontributory. We currently do not prefund any of these plans.

We recognize the funded status of our retirement and postretirement plans in the consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes. The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss represent net unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service costs. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to our accounting policy for amortizing such amounts.

Net periodic benefit cost for our retirement and postretirement plans other than the service cost component are included in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of income.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for our retirement plans and postretirement plans for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:



(in millions)	2026		2025

Interest cost	17		17
Expected return on assets	(23)		(24)
Amortization of prior service credit / actuarial loss	2		1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	(4)	$	(6)

Net periodic benefit cost related to our postretirement plans reflected in the table above was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As discussed in our Form 10-K, we changed certain discount rate assumptions for our retirement and postretirement plans and our expected return on assets assumption for our retirement plans which became effective on January 1, 2026. The effect of the assumption changes on retirement and postretirement expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 did not have a material impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the first three months of 2026, we contributed $3 million to our retirement plans and expect to make additional required contributions of approximately $8 million to our retirement plans during the remainder of the year. We may elect to make additional non-required contributions depending on investment performance or any potential deterioration of our pension plan status in remaining nine months of 2026.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

We issue stock-based incentive awards to our eligible employees under the 2019 Employee Stock Incentive Plan and to our eligible non-employee members of the Board of Directors under a Director Deferred Stock Ownership Plan.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and other stock-based awards was $39 million and $47 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock and other stock-based awards, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $443.23 per share. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity awards as of March 31, 2026 was $318 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

8. Equity

Dividends

On January 14, 2026, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the dividends for 2026 to a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.97 per share.

Stock Repurchases

Our purchased shares may be used for general corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares for stock compensation plans and to offset the dilutive effect of the exercise of employee stock options. As of March 31, 2026, 29.6 million shares remained under the 2025 Repurchase Program and the 2022 repurchase program was completed. Our 2025 Repurchase Program has no expiration date and purchases under this program may be made from time to time on the open market and in private transactions, depending on market conditions.

We have entered into accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements with financial institutions to initiate share repurchases of our common stock. Under an ASR agreement, we pay a specified amount to the financial institution and receive an initial delivery of shares. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, the financial institution typically delivers additional shares. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR agreement based on the volume weighted-average share price, less a discount. We

account for our ASR agreements as two transactions: a stock purchase transaction and a forward stock purchase contract. The shares delivered under the ASR agreements resulted in a reduction of outstanding shares used to determine our weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. The repurchased shares are held in Treasury. The forward stock purchase contracts are classified as equity instruments.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has mandated a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. Excise tax obligations that result from the Company’s share repurchases are accounted for as a cost of the treasury stock transaction, and are included in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded in other current liabilities was $58 million and $46 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The terms of each ASR agreement entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, structured as outlined above, are as follows:


(in millions, except average price paid per share)
ASR Agreement Initiation Date	ASR Agreement Completion Date	Initial Shares Delivered	Additional Shares Delivered	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Cash Utilized
February 12, 2026 1	March 12, 2026	2.0	0.3	2.3	$	426.70	$	1,000


February 19, 2025 2	May 6, 2025	1.0	0.3	1.3	$	491.12	$	650

1 The ASR agreement was structured as an uncapped ASR agreement in which we paid $1 billion and initially received shares valued at 80% of the $1 billion at a price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2026. The Company received an initial delivery of 2.0 million shares from the ASR program. We completed the ASR agreement on March 12, 2026 and received an additional 0.3 million shares. The ASR agreement was executed under our 2025 and 2022 Repurchase Programs.

2 The ASR agreement was structured as an uncapped ASR agreement in which we paid $650 million and initially received shares valued at 80% of the $650 million at a price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on February 19, 2025. The Company received an initial delivery of 1.0 million shares from the ASR program. We completed the ASR agreement on May 6, 2025 and received an additional 0.3 million shares. The ASR agreement was executed under our 2022 Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received 3.1 million shares, including 0.8 million shares received in February of 2026 related to our December 4, 2025 ASR agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we purchased a total of 2.3 million shares for $1 billion of cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received 1.3 million shares, including 0.3 million shares received in February of 2025 related to our October 28, 2024 ASR agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased a total of 1.0 million shares for $650 million of cash.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Our redeemable noncontrolling interests include an agreement with the minority partners that own 27% of our S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC joint venture contains redemption features whereby interests held by minority partners are redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control. Specifically, under the terms of the operating agreement of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, CME Group and CME Group Index Services LLC (“CGIS”) has the right at any time to sell, and we are obligated to buy, at least 20% of their share in S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. In addition, in the event there is a change of control of the Company, for the 15 days following a change in control, CME Group and CGIS will have the right to put their interest to us at the then fair value of CME Group’s and CGIS’ minority interest.

If interests were to be redeemed under this agreement, we would generally be required to purchase the interest at fair value on the date of redemption. This interest is presented on the consolidated balance sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” with an initial value based on fair value for the portion attributable to the net assets we acquired, and based on our historical cost for the portion attributable to our S&P Index business. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest each reporting period to its estimated redemption value, but never less than its initial fair value, using both income and market valuation approaches. Our income and market valuation approaches may incorporate Level 3 fair value measures for instances when observable inputs are not available. The more significant judgmental assumptions used to estimate the value of the S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC joint venture include an estimated discount rate, a range of assumptions that form the basis of the expected future net cash flows (e.g., the revenue growth rates and operating margins), and a company specific beta. The significant judgmental assumptions used that incorporate market data, including the relative weighting of market observable information and the comparability of that information in our valuation models, are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. Any adjustments to the redemption value will impact retained income.

Noncontrolling interests that do not contain such redemption features are presented in equity.

Changes to redeemable noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:


(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2025	$	4,917
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	100


Distributions payable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(61)

3See Note 5 — Derivative Instruments for additional details of items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net earnings.

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the common shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS, except the number of shares is increased to include additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Potential common shares consist primarily of restricted performance shares and stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

The calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31 is as follows:



(in millions, except per share amounts)	2026		2025
Amounts attributable to S&P Global Inc. common shareholders:


Net income	$	1,395	$	1,090

Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	297.3		307.3
Effect of dilutive securities	0.3		0.4
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	297.6		307.7

Earnings per share attributable to S&P Global Inc. common shareholders:






Net income:
Basic	$	4.69	$	3.55
Diluted	$	4.69	$	3.54

We have certain stock options and restricted performance shares that are potentially excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. The effect of the potential exercise of stock options is excluded when the average market price of our common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related option during the period or when a net loss exists because the effect would have been antidilutive. Additionally, restricted performance shares are excluded because the necessary vesting conditions had not been met or when a net loss exists. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no stock options excluded. Restricted performance shares outstanding of 0.5 million and 0.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were excluded.

10. Restructuring

We continuously evaluate our cost structure to identify cost savings associated with streamlining our management structure. Our 2025 restructuring plan consisted of a company-wide workforce reduction of approximately 1,300 positions and are further detailed below. The charges for each restructuring plan are classified as selling and general expenses within the consolidated statements of income and the reserves are included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In certain circumstances, reserves are no longer needed because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were reassigned due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. In these cases, we reverse reserves through the consolidated statements of income during the period when it is determined they are no longer needed.

The initial restructuring charge recorded and the ending reserve balance as of March 31, 2026 by segment is as follows:


	2025 Restructuring Plan
(in millions)		Initial Charge Recorded		Ending Reserve Balance
Market Intelligence		$	56	$	12
Ratings		17		3
Energy		19		8
Mobility		15		7
Indices		4		3

Corporate		46		16
Total		$	157	$	49

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not record any restructuring charges. The ending reserve balance for the 2025 restructuring plan was $85 million as of December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we have reduced the reserve for the 2025 restructuring plan by $36 million. The ending reserve balance for the 2024 restructuring plan was $4 million and $15 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The reductions primarily related to cash payments for employee severance charges.

11. Segment and Related Information

We have five reportable segments: Market Intelligence, Ratings, Energy, Mobility and Indices.

Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and evaluates performance of our segments and allocates resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) based primarily on operating profit for each segment. Segment operating profit does not include Corporate Unallocated expense, equity in income on unconsolidated subsidiaries, other (income) expense, net, or interest expense, net, as these are amounts that do not affect the operating results of our reportable segments.

2 The segment expense category for Market Intelligence, Ratings, Energy, Mobility and Indices for 2026 and 2025 primarily include an aggregation of compensation costs, technology costs and strategic investments. The CODM considers actual-to-actual and budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating personnel and capital to the segments; however, the CODM does not receive the individual expense items underlying the overall segment expenses. Variance explanations include segment expenses including compensation costs, technology costs and strategic investments, but the CODM is otherwise not provided, and cannot easily calculate, lower-level expense information.

3 Other segment items for 2026 for each reportable segment primarily include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, gain on dispositions and certain items primarily including acquisition and disposition-related costs. Other segment items for 2025 for each reportable segment primarily include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and certain items primarily including employee severance charges, Executive Leadership Team transition costs and acquisition and disposition-related costs.

4 Corporate Unallocated expense includes costs for corporate functions, select initiatives, unoccupied office space and Kensho, included in selling and general expenses.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

We determine whether an arrangement meets the criteria for an operating lease or a finance lease at the inception of the arrangement. We have operating leases for office space and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 11 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 12 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases early. We sublease certain real estate leases to third parties which mainly consist of operating leases for space within our offices.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expenses for these leases on a straight line-basis over the lease term in operating-related expenses and selling and general expenses.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Our future minimum based payments used to determine our lease liabilities include minimum based rent payments and escalations. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The following table provides information on the location and amounts of our leases on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has certain lease agreements that have not yet commenced with total estimated future lease payments of $98 million which have been excluded from the table above. These lease agreements relate primarily to our Mobility segment. These leases are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and continue through 2037, with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 11 years.

Related Party Agreements

In June of 2012, we entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement") with the holder of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC noncontrolling interest, CME Group, replacing the 2005 license agreement between Indices and CME Group. Under the terms of the License Agreement, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC receives a share of the profits from the trading and clearing of CME Group’s equity index products. During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC earned $52 million of revenue under the terms of the License Agreement. The entire amount of this revenue is included in our consolidated statement of income and the portion related to the 27% noncontrolling interest is removed in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

In the normal course of business both in the United States and abroad, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings and are often subjected to government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries.

A class action lawsuit was filed in Australia on August 7, 2020 against the Company and a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit relates to alleged investment losses in collateralized debt obligations rated by Ratings prior to the financial crisis between 2005 and 2007. We can provide no assurance that we will not be obligated to pay significant amounts in order to resolve the lawsuit on terms deemed acceptable.

From time to time, the Company receives customer complaints. The Company believes it has strong contractual protections in the terms and conditions included in its arrangements with customers. Nonetheless, in the interest of managing customer relationships, the Company from time to time engages in dialogue with such customers in an effort to resolve such complaints, and if such complaints cannot be resolved through dialogue, may face litigation regarding such complaints. The Company does not expect to incur material losses as a result of these matters.

Moreover, various government and self-regulatory agencies frequently make inquiries and conduct investigations into our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to our regulated products and services, antitrust matters and other matters, such as ESG. For example, as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization registered with the SEC under Section 15E of the Exchange Act, S&P Global Ratings is in ongoing communication with the staff of the SEC regarding compliance with its extensive obligations under the federal securities laws. Although S&P Global seeks to promptly address any compliance issues that it detects or that the staff of the SEC or another regulator raises, there can be no assurance that the SEC or another regulator will not seek remedies against S&P Global for one or more compliance deficiencies. Any of these proceedings, investigations or inquiries could ultimately result in adverse judgments, damages, fines, penalties or activity restrictions, which could adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, cash flows, business or competitive position.

In view of the uncertainty inherent in litigation and government and regulatory enforcement matters, we cannot predict the eventual outcome of such matters or the timing of their resolution, or in most cases reasonably estimate what the eventual judgments, damages, fines, penalties or impact of activity (if any) restrictions may be. As a result, we cannot provide assurance that such outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, cash flows, business or competitive position. As litigation or the process to resolve pending matters progresses, as the case may be, we will continue to review the latest information available and assess our ability to predict the outcome of such matters and the effects, if any, on our consolidated financial condition, cash flows, business or competitive position, which may require that we record liabilities in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

13. Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards

In November of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September of 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance that clarifies the guidance on which contracts are subject to derivative accounting and guidance on accounting for share based payments on contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September of 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance which removes references to prescriptive software development stages and includes an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. This guidance is effective for annual

reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July of 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance that provides an optional practical expedient for estimating future credit losses based on current conditions as of the balance sheet date and assuming those conditions do not change over the remaining life of the accounts receivable. The guidance was effective on January 1, 2026, and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May of 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance to improve the requirements for identifying the accounting acquirer in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this update revise current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. This guidance is required to be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November of 2024, the FASB issued accounting guidance which requires that an entity disclose, in the notes to financial statements, additional information about specific expense categories. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides a narrative of the results of operations and financial condition of S&P Global Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “S&P Global,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and MD&A included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Form 10-K”), which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The MD&A includes the following sections:

•Overview

•Results of Operations — Comparing the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

•Critical Accounting Estimates

Key results for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:



(in millions, except per share amounts)	2026			2025			% Change 1
Revenue	$	4,171		$	3,777		10%
Operating profit 2	$	2,002		$	1,578		27%
Operating margin %	48		%	42		%
Diluted earnings per share from net income	$	4.69		$	3.54		32%

1 % changes in the tables throughout the MD&A are calculated off of the actual number, not the rounded number presented.

2 2026 includes gain on dispositions of $175 million, disposition-related costs of $40 million, acquisition-related costs of $11 million, lease impairments of $5 million and employee-related costs of $2 million. 2025 includes employee severance charges of $33 million, Executive Leadership Team transition costs of $12 million, acquisition-related costs of $9 million, a lease impairment of $6 million and disposition-related costs of $1 million. 2026 and 2025 also include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $276 million and $281 million, respectively.

Revenue increased 10% driven by increases at all of our reportable segments. The increase at Ratings was driven by both transaction and non-transaction revenue. Transaction revenue increased due to higher corporate bond ratings revenue primarily driven by strong investment grade issuance, partially offset by lower bank loan ratings revenue. Non-transaction revenue increased primarily due to an increase in surveillance revenue and an increase in revenue at our Crisil subsidiary. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions and a disposition, the increase at Market Intelligence was primarily due to growth for Lending Solutions in Enterprise Solutions, subscription revenue growth in Data, Analytics & Insights, and growth in RatingsXpress® and RatingsDirect®. An increase in recurring variable revenue due increased volumes also contributed to revenue growth at Market Intelligence. The increase at Indices was primarily due to an increase in asset linked fees revenue driven by higher levels of assets under management for ETFs and mutual funds, higher exchange-traded derivative revenue and higher data subscription revenue. The increase at Energy was primarily due to increased attendance at CERAWeek in 2026, continued demand for market data and market insights products driven by expanded product offerings to our existing customers under enterprise use contracts and an increase in sales usage-based royalties revenue. The increase at Mobility was primarily due to continued new business

growth within the Dealer business, solid underwriting volumes within the Financial business and the favorable impact of improved contract terms. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of less than 1 percentage point.

Operating profit increased 27%. Excluding the impact of a gain on dispositions in 2026 of 14 percentage points, employee severance charges in 2025 of 3 percentage points and ELT transition costs in 2025 of 1 percentage point, partially offset by higher disposition related costs in 2026 of 3 percentage points, operating profit increased 12%. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by higher compensation costs driven by annual merit increases and additional headcount, and investments in strategic initiatives. Foreign exchange rates had an favorable impact of 2 percentage points.

Our Strategy

We are a global, diversified, and highly differentiated provider of benchmarks, data, analytics and workflow solutions in the global capital, energy and commodity, and automotive markets. Our mission is Advancing Essential Intelligence.

Our industry-leading benchmarks, differentiated data, and solutions provide a unique value proposition that provide customers with the ability to make more confident decisions and stay a step ahead. Our strategy focuses on three key objectives: to Advance market leadership, Expand high-growth adjacencies, and Amplify enterprise capabilities and integration of AI. In 2026, we are focused on delivering on these key strategic priorities.

Advance Market Leadership

•Delivering market-leading value proposition through best-in-class products, including world-class benchmarks and highly differentiated data, that are transforming the user experience, accelerating innovation, and optimizing go-to-market to enhance client retention and growth; and

•Expanding trusted, enduring client relationships through differentiated products and best-in-class client experiences that meet clients’ evolving needs.

Expand High-Growth Adjacencies

•Accelerating in high-growth adjacencies such as private markets, energy expansion, supply chain intelligence, wealth, and decentralized finance, alongside leading-edge AI and technology, such as blockchain and quantum computing.

Amplify Enterprise Capabilities and AI

•Enabling growth, innovation, and operating leverage through our integrated operating model that removes siloes across enterprise data, enterprise technology, and client coverage teams.

•Driving cutting-edge innovation, in line with client expectations, by integrating and scaling new technology and AI into our products and our operations, and leveraging strategic collaborations and new potential commercial models;

•Enhancing our data estate by continuing to add differentiated data sets at scale, thereby enabling new revenue, efficiency, and time-to-market;

•Leveraging technology, process and skills innovation to empower our people, enhance productivity, and deliver enterprise impact via a people-forward culture, skills focus, people + AI process redesign, and aligned incentives; and

•Continually improving our ongoing commitment to risk management.

We believe that delivering on our key strategic priorities will create shareholder value through long-term profitable growth and we expect to continue to deliver targeted capital return to shareholders.

There can be no assurance that we will achieve success in implementing any one or more of these strategies as a variety of factors could unfavorably impact operating results, including prolonged difficulties in the global credit markets and a change in the regulatory environment affecting our businesses. See Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue increased 10% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Subscription revenue increased in 2026 primarily due to growth in Data, Analytics & Insights, growth for Lending Solutions in Enterprise Solutions and growth in

RatingsXpress® and RatingsDirect® and the impact of recent acquisitions at Market Intelligence; new business growth within the Dealer business, solid underwriting volumes and market share growth within the Financial business and the favorable impact of improved contract terms at Mobility; continued demand for Energy market data and market insights products; and higher data subscription revenue at Indices. Non-subscription / transaction revenue increased primarily due to higher corporate bond ratings revenue, partially offset by lower bank loan ratings revenue at Ratings, and an increase in conference revenue at Energy. Non-transaction revenue increased primarily due to an increase in surveillance revenue and an increase in revenue at our Crisil subsidiary at Ratings. Asset linked fees increased at Indices primarily due to higher levels of assets under management for ETFs and mutual funds. The increase in sales-usage based royalties was driven by higher exchange-traded derivative revenue at Indices and the licensing of our proprietary market data to commodity exchanges at Energy. Recurring variable revenue at Market Intelligence increased due to increased volumes. See “Segment Review” below for further information.

The favorable impact of foreign exchange rates increased revenue by less than 1 percentage point. This impact refers to constant currency comparisons estimated by recalculating current year results of foreign operations using the average exchange rate from the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $14 million to $307 million in 2026 compared to 2025 primarily due to higher intangible asset amortization driven by recent acquisitions at Market Intelligence and higher depreciation due to new asset purchases, partially offset by assets being fully amortized.

Gain on Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $175 million related to the following dispositions, which was included in Gain on dispositions in the consolidated statement of income:

•In March of 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $3 million ($3 million after-tax) in Gain on dispositions in the consolidated statement of income related to the sale of OSTTRA in October of 2025.

Operating Profit

We consider operating profit to be an important measure for evaluating our operating performance and we evaluate operating profit for each of the reportable business segments in which we operate.

We internally manage our operations by reference to operating profit with economic resources allocated primarily based on each segment’s contribution to operating profit. Segment operating profit is defined as operating profit before Corporate Unallocated expense and Equity in Income on Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.

The tables below reconcile segment operating profit to total operating profit for the three months ended March 31:

Segment Operating Profit — Segment operating profit increased 27% as compared to 2025. Excluding the impact of a gain on dispositions in 2026 of 13 percentage points and employee severance charges in 2025 of 2 percentage points, partially offset by higher disposition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point and higher amortization of intangibles from acquisitions in 2026 of 1 percentage point, operating profit increased 14% primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by higher compensation costs driven by annual merit increases and additional headcount, and investments in strategic initiatives. See “Segment Review” below for further information.

Corporate Unallocated Expense — Corporate Unallocated expense includes costs for corporate functions, select initiatives, unoccupied office space and Kensho, included in selling and general expenses. Corporate Unallocated expense increased 8% compared to 2025. Excluding the impact of employee severance charges in 2025 of 74 percentage points, Executive Leadership Team transition costs in 2025 of 56 percentage points, a gain on disposition in 2026 of 19 percentage points, higher acquisition-related costs in 2025 of 14 percentage points and higher lease impairments in 2025 of 8 percentage points, partially offset by higher disposition-related costs in 2026 of 160 percentage points and higher amortization of intangibles from acquisitions in 2026 of 2 percentage points, Corporate Unallocated expense increased 17% primarily due to higher conference expenses and professional fees.

Equity in Income on Unconsolidated Subsidiaries — On October 10, 2025, the Company and CME Group completed the sale of OSTTRA, an investment in a 50/50 joint venture arrangement with shared control with CME Group that combined each company’s post-trade services into a joint venture. Equity in Income on Unconsolidated Subsidiaries was $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact on operating profit of 2 percentage points. This impact refers to currency comparisons and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities. Currency impacts are estimated by re-calculating current year results of foreign operations using the average exchange rate from the prior year. Remeasurement impacts are based on the variance between current-year and prior-year foreign exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the individual business’s functional currency.

Other (Income) Expense, net

Other (income) expense, net includes gains and losses on our mark-to-market investments and the net periodic benefit cost for our retirement and post retirement plans. Other income, net was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to other expense, net of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to higher losses on our mark-to-market investments in 2025.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of our senior notes in December of 2025 and increased expense related to commercial paper borrowings in 2026 to partially finance the Company's ASR agreement entered into in February of 2026 and short-term working capital requirements.

1 2026 includes gain on disposition of $172 million, acquisition-related costs of $9 million and disposition-related costs of $3 million. 2025 includes employee severance charges of $14 million, acquisition-related costs of $7 million, Executive Leadership Team transition costs of $4 million and disposition-related costs of $1 million. 2026 and 2025 also include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $156 million and $148 million, respectively.

Revenue increased 8% and was favorably impacted by 1 percentage point from the net impact of recent acquisitions and a disposition. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and a disposition, revenue increased primarily due to growth for Lending Solutions in Enterprise Solutions, subscription revenue growth in Data, Analytics & Insights, and growth in RatingsXpress® and RatingsDirect®. An increase in recurring variable revenue due to increased volumes also contributed to revenue growth. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 1 percentage point. Revenue was favorably impacted by the acquisitions of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data services business of ORBCOMM Inc. and With Intelligence in November of 2025 and unfavorably impacted by the disposition of the Enterprise Data Management and thinkFolio businesses in January of 2026.

Operating profit increased over 100%. Excluding the impact of a gain on disposition in 2026 of 86 percentage points, employee severance charges in 2025 of 7 percentage points and ELT transition costs in 2025 of 2 percentage points, partially offset by higher amortization of intangibles from acquisitions in 2026 of 4 percentage points, higher disposition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point and higher acquisition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point, operating profit increased 11% primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by expenses associated with recent acquisitions, higher compensation costs and an increase in bad debt expense. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 1 percentage point.

Ratings

Ratings is an independent provider of credit ratings, research, and analytics. Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions about an issuer's relative creditworthiness. They are one of several tools investors can use when making decisions about purchasing bonds and other fixed income investments. Our ratings express our opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer, such as a corporation or state or city government, to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Our credit ratings can also relate to the credit quality of an individual debt issue, such as a corporate or municipal bond, and the relative likelihood that the issue may default.

Ratings disaggregates its revenue between transaction and non-transaction. Transaction revenue primarily includes fees associated with:

•ratings related to new issuance of corporate and government debt instruments, as well as structured finance debt instruments; and

•bank loan ratings.

Non-transaction revenue primarily includes fees for surveillance of a credit rating, annual fees for customer relationship-based pricing programs, fees for entity credit ratings and global research and analytics at Crisil. Non-transaction revenue also includes an intersegment royalty charged to Market Intelligence for the rights to use and distribute content and data developed by Ratings. Royalty revenue was $44 million and $42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following table provides revenue and segment operating profit information for the three months ended March 31:



(in millions)	2026			2025			% Change
Revenue	$	1,302		$	1,149		13%

Operating margin %	68		%	66		%

12025 includes employee severance charges of $2 million. 2026 and 2025 also include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

Revenue increased 13%, with a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates of 2 percentage points. The increase in revenue was driven by both transaction and non-transaction revenue. Transaction revenue increased due to higher corporate bond ratings revenue primarily driven by strong investment grade issuance, partially offset by lower bank loan ratings revenue. Non-transaction revenue increased primarily due to an increase in surveillance revenue and an increase in revenue at our Crisil subsidiary. Transaction and non-transaction revenue also benefited from improved contract terms across product categories.

Operating profit increased 16% primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by higher compensation costs driven by annual merit increases and additional headcount, and an increase in strategic investments. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 3 percentage points.

Billed Issuance Volumes

We monitor billed issuance volumes regularly within Ratings. Billed issuance excludes items that do not impact transaction revenue, such as issuance from frequent issuer programs, unrated debt, and most international public finance to more effectively correlate issuance activity to movements in transaction revenue.

The following table provides billed issuance levels based on Ratings’ internal data feeds for the three months ended March 31:



(in billions)	2026		2025		% Change
Investment-grade billed issuance*	$	621	$	440	41%
High-yield billed issuance *	$	117	$	113	4%
Other billed issuance **	$	491	$	530	(7)%
Total billed issuance	$	1,230	$	1,083	14%

Note - Totals presented may not sum due to rounding.

* Includes Corporates, Financial Services and Infrastructure.

** Includes Bank Loans, Structured Finance and Government.

First quarter billed issuance was up primarily due to increases in investment grade driven by AI-related issuance and M&A transactions. High yield increased slightly driven by M&A transactions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bank loans primarily due to AI-disruption concerns affecting software and tech-adjacent leveraged loans.

12026 includes disposition-related costs of $1 million and acquisition-related costs of $1 million. 2025 includes employee severance charges of $6 million. 2026 and 2025 also include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $32 million and $33 million, respectively.

Revenue increased 7% primarily due to increased attendance at CERAWeek in 2026 and continued demand for market data and market insights products driven by expanded product offerings to our existing customers under enterprise use contracts. An increase in sales usage-based royalties from the licensing of our proprietary market data to commodity exchanges due to increased trading volumes for Platts based contracts across all commodity sectors also contributed to revenue growth. Three of the four business lines contributed to revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 with the Advisory & Transactional Services business being the most significant driver, followed by the Energy & Resources Data & Insights and Price Assessments businesses. The increases were offset by a decrease in the Upstream Data & Insights business which was unfavorably impacted by a one-time benefit in the first quarter of 2025. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of less than 1 percentage point.

Operating profit increased 12%. Excluding the impact of higher disposition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point and higher acquisition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point, partially offset by higher employee severance charges in 2025 of 5 percentage points, operating profit increased 9%. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by higher compensation costs driven by annual merit increases and additional headcount and investment in strategic initiatives. Foreign exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of 2 percentage points.

1 2026 includes disposition-related costs of $13 million. 2026 and 2025 include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $76 million.

Revenue increased 8% primarily driven by continued new business growth within the Dealer business and solid underwriting volumes within the Financial business. Additionally, the Dealer and Financial businesses were favorably impacted by improved contract terms. Growth in the Manufacturing business reflects early signs of recovery in discretionary spending, with an uptick in transaction activity, though lower recall volumes continue to weigh on performance. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 1 percentage point.

Operating profit increased 9%. Excluding the impact of disposition-related costs in 2026 of 3 percentage points, operating profit increased 12%. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth, partially offset by higher advertising and promotion costs. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 6 percentage points.

Indices

Indices is a global index provider maintaining a wide variety of valuation and index benchmarks for investment advisors, wealth managers and institutional investors. Indices’ mission is to provide transparent benchmarks to help with decision making, collaborate with the financial community to create innovative products, and provide investors with tools to monitor world markets.

Indices derives revenue from asset-linked fees when investors direct funds into its proprietary designed or owned indexes, sales usage-based royalties of its indices, as well as data subscription arrangements. Specifically, Indices generates revenue from the following sources:

•Investment vehicles — asset-linked fees such as ETFs and mutual funds, that are based on the S&P Dow Jones Indices’ benchmarks that generate revenue through fees based on assets and underlying funds;

•Exchange traded derivatives — generate sales usage-based royalties based on trading volumes of derivatives contracts listed on various exchanges;

•Index-related licensing fees — fixed or variable annual and per-issue asset-linked fees for over-the-counter derivatives and retail-structured products; and

1 2026 includes employee-related costs of $1 million and acquisition-related costs of $1 million. 2026 and 2025 also include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions of $10 million and $9 million, respectively.

Revenue at Indices increased 17% primarily due to an increase in asset linked fees revenue driven by higher levels of assets under management (“AUM”) for ETFs and mutual funds, higher exchange-traded derivative revenue and higher data subscription revenue. Ending AUM for ETFs increased 25% to $5.385 trillion compared to March 31, 2025 and average levels of AUM for ETFs increased 25% to $5.574 trillion compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Ending AUM for ETFs decreased 2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 driven by the impact of market depreciation in the first quarter of 2026. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of 1 percentage point.

Operating profit increased 18% primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in strategic investments and higher compensation costs driven by annual merit increases. Foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of less than 1 percentage point.

For a further discussion of competitive and other risks inherent in our Indices business, see Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We continue to maintain a strong financial position. Our primary source of funds for operations is cash from our businesses. Cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our existing credit facility are expected to be sufficient to meet any additional operating and recurring cash needs into the foreseeable future. We use our cash for a variety of needs, including but not limited to: ongoing investments in our businesses, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends, repayment of debt, capital expenditures and investment in our infrastructure.

Cash Flow Overview

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $1,810 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $65 million from December 31, 2025.

The following table provides cash flow information for the three months ended March 31:


(in millions)	2026		2025		% Change
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	1,037	$	953	9%
Investing activities	$	291	$	(79)	N/M
Financing activities	$	(1,237)	$	(1,103)	12%

N/M – Represents a change equal to or in excess of 100% or not meaningful

In the first three months of 2026, free cash flow increased $103 million to $919 million compared to $816 million in the first three months of 2025. The increase is primarily due to an increase in operating activities as discussed below. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and reflects our cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders. Capital expenditures include purchases of property and equipment and additions to technology projects. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for a reconciliation of cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow.

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $84 million to $1,037 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to 2025. This is primarily attributable to higher operating results, stronger cash collections and lower tax payments in 2026.

Investing activities

Our cash outflows from investing activities are primarily for acquisitions and capital expenditures, while cash inflows are primarily proceeds from dispositions.

Cash provided by investing activities was $291 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to cash used for investing activities of $79 million in the first three months of 2025, primarily due to proceeds from the disposition of the Enterprise Data Management and thinkFolio businesses within our Market Intelligence segment in 2026.

Financing activities

Our cash outflows from financing activities consist primarily of share repurchases, dividends to shareholders and repayments of short-term and long-term debt, while cash inflows are primarily attributable to the borrowing of short-term and long-term debt.

Cash used for financing activities increased $134 million to $1,237 million for the first three months of 2026. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in cash used for share repurchases in 2026, partially offset by proceeds received from commercial paper borrowings in 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we purchased a total of 2.3 million shares for $1 billion of cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased a total of 1.0 million shares for $650 million of cash. See Note 8 — Equity to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Additional Financing

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and reflects our cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders. Capital expenditures include purchases of property and equipment and additions to technology projects. Our cash flow provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to free cash flow.

We believe the presentation of free cash flow allows our investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business because we believe it typically presents a more conservative measure of cash flows since capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders are considered a necessary component of ongoing operations. Free cash flow is useful for management and investors because it allows management and investors to evaluate the cash available to us to prepay debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments and repurchase stock.

The presentation of free cash flow is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The following table presents a reconciliation of our cash flow provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the three months ended March 31:


(in millions)	2026		2025		% Change
Cash provided by operating activities	$	1,037	$	953	9%
Capital expenditures	(27)		(43)
Distributions to noncontrolling interest holders	(91)		(94)
Free cash flow	$	919	$	816	13%


(in millions)	2026	2025	% Change
Cash provided by (used for) investing activities	291	(79)	N/M
Cash used for financing activities	(1,237)	(1,103)	12%

N/M – Represents a change equal to or in excess of 100% or not meaningful

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 — Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in our most recent Form 10-K. As discussed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our most recent Form 10-K, we consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it required assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made and changes in the estimate or different estimates could have a material effect on our results of operations. These critical estimates include those related to revenue recognition, business combinations, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, pension plans, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies and redeemable noncontrolling interests. We base our estimates on historical experience, current developments and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under these circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that cannot readily be determined from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Since the date of our most recent Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 13 – Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future events, trends, contingencies or results, appear at various places in this report and use words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “strategy,” “target” and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and “would.” For example, management may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the outcome of contingencies; future actions by regulators; changes in the Company’s business strategies and methods of generating revenue; the development and performance of the Company’s services and products; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; the Company’s effective tax rates; the Company’s cost structure, dividend policy, cash flows or liquidity; and the anticipated separation of Mobility into a standalone public company.

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•worldwide economic, financial, political, and regulatory conditions (including slower GDP growth or recession, restrictions on trade (e.g., tariffs), instability in the banking sector and inflation), and factors that contribute to uncertainty and volatility (e.g., supply chain risk), geopolitical uncertainty (including military conflict), natural and man-made disasters, civil unrest, public health crises (e.g., pandemics), and conditions that result from legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes, including from the U.S. administration;

•the volatility and health of debt, equity, commodities, energy and automotive markets, including credit quality and spreads, the composition and mix of credit maturity profiles, the level of liquidity and future debt issuances, equity flows from active to passive, fluctuations in average asset prices in global equities, demand for investment products that track indices and assessments and trading volumes of certain exchange traded derivatives;

•the demand and market for credit ratings in and across the sectors and geographies where the Company operates;

•the Company’s ability to maintain adequate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the security of confidential information and data, or protect against a system or network disruption that results in regulatory penalties and remedial costs or improper disclosure of confidential information or data;

•the outcome of litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries;

•concerns in the marketplace affecting the Company’s credibility or otherwise affecting market perceptions of the integrity or utility of independent credit ratings, benchmarks, indices and other services;

•the level of merger and acquisition activity in the United States and abroad;

•the level of the Company’s future cash flows and capital investments;

•the effect of competitive products (including those incorporating artificial intelligence ("AI")) and pricing, including the level of success of new product developments and global expansion;

•the impact of customer cost-cutting pressures;

•a decline in the demand for our products and services by our customers and other market participants;

•our ability to develop new products or technologies, to integrate our products with new technologies (e.g., AI), or to compete with new products or technologies offered by new or existing competitors;

•the introduction of competing products (including those developed by AI) or technologies by other companies;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use and infringement, including by others using AI technologies, and to operate our business without violating third-party intellectual property rights, including through our own use of AI in our products and services;

•our ability to attract, incentivize and retain key employees, especially in a competitive business environment;

•our ability to successfully navigate key organizational changes;

•the continuously evolving regulatory environment in Europe, the United States and elsewhere around the globe affecting each of our businesses and the products they offer, and our compliance therewith;

•the Company’s exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil penalties for noncompliance with foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including sanctions laws relating to countries such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela, anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, as well as import and export restrictions;

•the Company’s ability to make acquisitions and dispositions and successfully integrate the businesses we acquire;

•consolidation of the Company’s customers, suppliers or competitors;

•the ability of the Company, and its third-party service providers, to maintain adequate physical and technological infrastructure;

•the Company’s ability to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an earthquake, hurricane, flood, civil unrest, protests, military conflict, terrorist attack, outbreak of pandemic or contagious diseases, security breach, cyber attack, data breach, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event;

•the impact on the Company’s revenue and net income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

•the impact of changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements on the Company;

•the separation of Mobility not being consummated within the anticipated time period or at all;

•the ability of the separation of Mobility to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•any disruption to the Company’s business in connection with the proposed separation of Mobility;

•any loss of synergies from separating the businesses of Mobility and the Company that adversely impact the results of operations of both businesses, or the companies resulting from the separation of Mobility not realizing all of the expected benefits of the separation; and

•following the separation of Mobility, the combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded companies not being equal to or greater than the value of the Company’s common stock had the separation not occurred.

The factors noted above are not exhaustive. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law. Further information about the Company’s businesses, including information about factors that could materially affect its results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk includes changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We have operations in foreign countries where the functional currency is primarily the local currency. For international operations that are determined to be extensions of the parent company, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. We typically have naturally hedged positions in most countries from a local currency perspective with offsetting assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. These forward contracts are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the effect of adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries against volatility in the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate. We have not entered into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 5 - Derivative Instruments to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed so that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 13, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of 30 million shares (the “2025 Repurchase Program”), which was approximately 10% of the total shares of our outstanding common stock at the time. On June 22, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of 30 million shares (the “2022 Repurchase Program”), which was approximately 9% of the total shares of our outstanding common stock at that time. During the first quarter of 2026, we received 3.1 million shares, which included 0.8 million shares received from our accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement that we entered into on December 4, 2025. Further discussion relating to our ASR agreements can be found in Note 8 - Equity. As of March 31, 2026, 29.6 million shares remained under the 2025 Repurchase Program and the 2022 repurchase program was complete.

Repurchased shares may be used for general corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares for stock compensation plans and to offset the dilutive effect of the exercise of employee stock options. Our 2025 Repurchase Program has no expiration date and purchases under this program may be made from time to time on the open market and in private transactions, depending on market conditions.

The following table provides information on our purchases of our outstanding common stock during the first quarter of 2026 pursuant to the 2025 Repurchase Program and 2022 Repurchase Program (column c). In addition to these purchases, the number of shares in column (a) include shares of common stock that are tendered to us to satisfy our employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted shares (we repurchase such shares based on their fair market value on the vesting date).

There were no other share repurchases during the quarter outside the repurchases noted below.
