Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that express management's current views concerning expectations, estimates, trends, forecasts and projections about future events, trends, contingencies, circumstances, and industries in which FactSet operates and the beliefs and assumptions of management. These statements may include projections of our future financial performance and anticipated trends in our business. In some cases, you can identify these statements by words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "indicates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue," and the negatives of those terms and similar expressions. Statements concerning our financial position, business strategy and plans or objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, that should be specifically considered. FactSet cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. FactSet undertakes no obligations to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect results, revised expectations, events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law.

We intend that all forward-looking statements we make will be subject to safe harbor protection of the federal securities laws as found in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
