and accelerated run-rate growth in Index and Private Capital Solutions. We also achieved strength in recurring net-new sales across key client segments and geographies, including our best quarter ever with hedge funds and our best Q2 with asset owners,\u201d said Henry A. Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of MSCI.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are building momentum heading into the back half of 2026, with a strong pipeline of opportunities and exciting AI-fueled innovation. MSCI has already launched twice as many products in 2026 as we did in all of 2024, and we are just starting to see the benefits. AI will allow us to move even faster in building new products, enhancing our existing products, and expanding our capabilities for the world\u2019s largest financial institutions,\u201d Fernandez added.<\/p>\n Second Quarter Consolidated Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Operating Revenues<\/span><\/i>: <\/i><\/b>Operating revenues were $867.0 million, up 12.2%. Organic operating revenue growth was also 12.2%. The $94.3 million increase was the result of $50.6 million in higher recurring subscription revenues and $49.0 million in higher asset-based fees, partially offset by $5.3 million in lower non-recurring revenues.<\/p>\n Run Rate and Retention Rate<\/span><\/i>:<\/i><\/b> Total Run Rate at June 30, 2026 was $3,479.7 million, up 12.0%. Asset-based fees Run Rate increased by $190.9 million, and recurring subscription Run Rate increased by $182.1 million. Run rate growth was supported by strong performance with asset managers, hedge funds and banking & brokerages client segments, and record ETF AUM linked to MSCI indexes. Organic recurring subscription Run Rate growth was 8.1%. Retention Rate in second quarter 2026 was 95.3%, compared to 94.4% in second quarter 2025.<\/p>\n Expenses<\/span><\/i>:<\/i><\/b> Total operating expenses were $379.5 million, up 9.2%. Adjusted EBITDA expenses were $328.5 million, up 10.1%, primarily reflecting higher non-compensation costs as a result of higher information technology costs, market data, professional fees and occupancy costs as well as the impact of a contingent consideration reversal in prior year. Additionally, we saw higher compensation and benefits costs primarily driven by higher incentive compensation, salaries and stock-based compensation accruals. During the second quarter of 2026 we recognized $3.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA expenses and $1.7 million of intangible asset amortization expense related to the Compass, Vantager and PM Insights acquisitions.<\/p>\n \nTotal operating expenses excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (\u201cex-FX\u201d) and adjusted EBITDA expenses ex-FX increased 8.9% and 9.7%, respectively.<\/p>\n Operating Income<\/span><\/i>:<\/i><\/b> Operating income was $487.5 million, up 14.6%. Operating income margin in second quarter 2026 was 56.2%, compared to 55.0% in second quarter 2025.<\/p>\n Headcount<\/span><\/i>: <\/i><\/b>As of June 30, 2026, we had 6,327 employees, reflecting a 1.9% increase, with 29% and 71% of employees located in developed market and emerging market locations, respectively.<\/p>\n Other Expense (Income), Net<\/span><\/i>: <\/i><\/b>Other expense (income), net was $70.2 million, up 47.8%, primarily driven by higher interest expense as a result of higher debt levels.<\/p>\n Income Taxes:<\/span><\/i><\/b>The effective tax rate decreased to 18.0% in second quarter 2026 compared to 19.6% in second quarter 2025, primarily driven by the impact of US tax law changes and the jurisdictional mix of earnings.<\/p>\n Net Income<\/span><\/i>:<\/i><\/b> As a result of the factors described above, net income was $342.0 million, up 12.6%.<\/p>\n Adjusted EBITDA<\/span><\/i>:<\/i><\/b> Adjusted EBITDA was $538.5 million, up 13.5%.

The increase in asset-based fees Run Rate was primarily driven by higher AUM in both ETFs linked to MSCI equity indexes and non-ETF indexed funds linked to MSCI indexes. The increase in recurring subscription Run Rate was primarily driven by growth from market cap-weighted and custom Index products. The increase reflected growth across all client segments, primarily driven by growth from asset managers, banking & brokerages and hedge funds. The increase reflected growth across all regions.

The updated guidance is based on assumptions about a number of factors, in particular related to macroeconomic factors and the capital markets.<\/p>\n \nThe higher operating expense and adjusted EBITDA expense guidance reflects the impact of recent acquisitions, including First Street, as well as the strong topline momentum driven by AUM in products linked to MSCI indexes exceeding the flat market assumption embedded in the prior-quarter guidance. This stronger business performance is increasing incentive compensation accruals and enabling the Company to make additional investments to support future growth.<\/p>\n \nThese assumptions are subject to uncertainty, and actual results for the year could differ materially from current guidance, including as a result of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions discussed in the \u201cRisk Factors\u201d and \u201cManagement\u2019s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations\u201d sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed or furnished with the SEC.
