| Statement |

| We are optimistic about our ability to continue to drive additional benefit from digital workers and other automation strategies |
| Brian Schell I think that the, we feel really good that we have a much more predictable view on this |
| So, I mean, I don't think that's going to change and we think we're very well-positioned |
| So, we have a lot of stuff that we think are in our pipeline, and we think as that rolls through that we will accelerate throughout the year to increase organic revenue growth |
| With the combination of our revenue growth outpacing our expense growth, adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.8% reflects both a sequential and year-over-year expansion of 70 basis points and 110 basis points respectively |
| We also saw acceleration in GIDS, Advent and Eze businesses |
| Adjusted consolidated EBITDA was $563 million for the quarter, the highest in our history and our EBITDA margin was up to 39.8% |
| We're seeing a lot of opportunities across the financial services industry as large firms look for ways to drive down costs within their back office operations while improving their front end technology |
| Again, another strong quarter and you called out private markets continuing to be a key contributor to that |
| So, we're looking forward to continue to be able to expand our margins and improve our customer service and satisfy more customers |
| But I think it's we have a lot of great clients and we think we provide some good services |
| We think they make the customer experience better |
| In Q4, we saw acceleration in revenue and healthy margin expansion |
| Adjusted EBITDA also hit a record at $563 million of 8.5% or $44 million, and adjusted diluted EPS was $1.26, an 8.6% increase over Q4 2022 |
| Our EBITDA margin exit rate was 39.8%, a result of higher revenue growth, cost controls and our digital worker initiative |
| We are gaining momentum and have an opportunity to increase market share from here |
| The fourth quarter revenue acceleration was driven by strength in our alternatives, retirement and Intralinks businesses |
| Similarly, the integration of Eze, Eze Eclipse and Advent Geneva has been positively received |
| We have processed 15 million claims in January over 10% more than we had originally anticipated for the month of January and our response time of under one second is quite better than industry standard |
| So, if you look out over the next couple of years, that we probably have opportunities to increase our margins through the digital worker process, 100 basis points to 200 basis points |
| Walton-Ruskin has had an impressive career at the London Stock Exchange Group, Refinitiv, Thomson Reuters and Thomson Financial |
| And as Bill, noted earlier in the call, our adjusted revenues hit a record level at $1.412 billion up 5.5% |
| And so we have great relationships across all kinds of healthcare organizations |
| Congratulations with great results |
| Stone Thanks, Justine, and welcome everyone to our fourth quarter results, which are record adjusted revenue of $1.412 billion up 5.5% and our adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.26 up 8.6% |
| Notably, alternatives grew 7.8%, Intralinks grew 18.6%, and Retirement grew 12.8% |
| Her expertise in fintech, global market, executive sales leadership and financial data fit well with SS&C's strengths and focus |
| So, we're optimistic that if we get some focus and have some ideas that we'll be able to hopefully, move our tax rate down |
| The increase reflects the incremental earnings as well as improved working capital management |
| And, we think that if anything, we have upside to that |
| Statement |

| So, I think similar to what Bill said a second ago about healthcare, we're trying to be measured in terms of what's in our guidance on license revenue, so clearly there was some softness in 2023 |
| Stone Well, I think as far as healthcare is concerned, we were measured |
| So, we're pretty blunt about those kinds of things and it's been effective for us |
| Obviously, it's not a huge part of the business, but it can create some volatility as we saw in 2023 |
| While Q4 reflects strong results, our 2023 annual earnings per share reflects a slight decline of $0.04 per share compared to last year |
| And as we said in my earlier remarks that the 15 million claims that we processed in January, were 10% more than we anticipated, which would be a 1.5 million claims |
