Consolidated operating income increased $112.0 million, or 9%, to $1,300.6 million in fiscal 2026, and operating margin increased from 17.3% to 17.4%. Investor Communication Solutions earnings before income taxes increased 5% to $1,103.5 million, but its pre-tax margin declined 0.8 percentage points to 19.8% because operating expenses increased 10%, or $398.3 million. Global Technology and Operations earnings before income taxes increased 48% to $297.8 million, and its pre-tax margin expanded 4.2 percentage points to 15.5% as revenue growth more than offset higher expenses. Corporate and Other earnings before income taxes improved by $241.1 million to $44.5 million, primarily because of digital-asset gains and lower interest expense.
