FactSet said that it plans to help expand CYMBA’s functionality, fixed income coverage, as well as global support.

 “Vermilion and CYMBA’s operations did not have an impact on FactSet’s first quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share. For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, these two acquisitions combined are expected to reduce adjusted diluted EPS by $0.01 and reduce GAAP diluted EPS by $0.02. FactSet forecasts that the acquisitions will be breakeven to both adjusted and GAAP diluted EPS by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017,” FactSet said.
