Decline in Recurring Sales: Net new recurring sales in our ESG and climate segment were down meaningfully from last year's levels.
ESG Demand Trends: We think the subdued demand in ESG and climate is cyclical and may be prolonged, but the need for all investors to integrate ESG financial materiality and to decarbonize portfolios are real and secular.
Fee Compression Challenges: Our asset management clients still face fee compression leading to tighter budgets, though there are some signs of stabilizing redemption pressures and improving inflows.
Transaction Volume Decline: We are seeing a significant drop in transaction volume, which is a major part of the revenue drivers here.
Revenue Growth Expectations: We expect revenue growth to drop to be closer to run rate growth or even in periods below that as we begin to compare to prior year periods that included large implementation related revenues.
