In Memoriam The 2012 Investor Fact Book is dedicated to the memory of our friend and
Donald S. Rubin colleague, Donald Rubin (1934 – 2012). Don was Senior Vice President of
1934 – 2012 Investor Relations at the time of his death, a position he held since 1993. He
served The McGraw-Hill Companies with excellence and the highest integrity
for 52 years and will always be remembered for his immense contribution
over that time. We relied so much on his good judgment as he consistently
represented the best interests of shareholders.

Don spoke with authority, reflecting his deep knowledge of the company.
Investors and analysts appreciated his witty, informative, and truthful insights
about McGraw-Hill and its markets. A journalist by training, Don applied his
craft to investor relations and created simple, powerful stories for investors.
One manifestation is the annual Investor Fact Book. From its modest beginnings
in 1984, the “Fact Book” flourished under Don’s leadership and, as a result, is
considered a trusted resource for insight into McGraw-Hill’s businesses,
markets, and prospects.

To honor Don’s legacy as a reporter and his outstanding contribution to


the company, The McGraw-Hill Companies established the Donald S. Rubin
McGraw-Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund at City University of New York’s
Graduate School of Journalism to inspire future generations of journalists.

McGraw-Hill Growth and Value Plan
Creating Two Powerful New Companies
2012 will be remembered as an inflection point in The McGraw-Hill Companies’ history.
It will mark the culmination of the Company’s Growth and Value Plan that was announced
in September 2011. This plan was the result of an extensive review in which the Board
of Directors determined that the creation of two independent companies is the best and
most reliable way to generate superior shareholder value. The centerpiece of the plan
is the creation of two powerful new companies:

Separation

The separation will provide each company with Cost reduction
opportunities and benefits:

Strategic Focus tuck-in acquisitions
Allow each independent company to design and
implement corporate strategies and policies that are
based on the industries that each serves and its
specific business characteristics, including customers,
sales cycles, and product life cycles.

Access to Capital
Remove the need for the businesses to compete
internally for capital. Instead, each company will
have direct access to the capital markets to fund
its respective growth strategies and to establish
an appropriate capital structure for its particular
business needs.

Strategic Flexibility
Provide each independent company increased
strategic flexibility to make acquisitions and form
partnerships and alliances in its target markets, and
allow each company to fund future acquisitions,
the value of which will be more closely aligned with
the performance of its businesses.

Investor Choice
Provide investors in each company with a more
targeted investment opportunity with distinct
investment and business characteristics, including
different opportunities for growth, capital structure,
business models, and financial returns.

Funding, Expenditures, and Enrollments
Growth in Public Education Funding
The 2013 federal budget was submitted to Congress by President Obama in
February 2012. The request included increasing spending on elementary and
secondary education programs to $38.5 billion, a 1.2% increase compared to
2012 levels. If enacted, higher education expenditures would increase 4.6%
to $28 billion, compared to 2012. The actual appropriations for fiscal year 2013
(October 2012—September 2013) must be authorized by the full Congress
before the budget can take effect.

Funding for pre-K–12 education in the United States Public school systems
reached approximately $594 billion in the 2009-10
school year. State and local governments contributed
received $593.7 billion
87.5% of this total and the federal government in funding in 2010, an
provided 12.5%. In any given year, more than increase of 0.5% from
two-thirds of state funding comes from sales and
income tax. At the local level, property taxes account- 2009

Growing Enrollments in Key Adoption States

Mapping the Adoption Process


In the adoption process, a state education board selects elementary
and secondary textbooks to be placed on an approved list. To use state
education funds, local school districts must choose textbooks from the
approved list. In adoption states, the state board issues curriculum
guidelines and schedules the purchase of new books in each subject
area. In the remaining states, known as “open territories,” textbooks
are purchased independently by local school districts or individual
schools. There are no statewide purchasing schedules or state-selected
lists of textbooks.

El-Hi Adoption Opportunities

Adoption states select print and digital instructional materials for one or more core disciplines
each bid/purchase year. Adoption cycles vary by state. Generally most operate on a six- or seven-
year cycle and a few are on a shorter cycle (i.e., three, four, five years). Over the last few years
states have elongated their cycles for adopting new materials. Elementary and secondary
adoption schedules provide some visibility into the state new adoption market for several years.
The presence or absence of adoption states with large student enrollments—such as California,
Florida, and Texas—will influence the size of the market opportunity each year.

Eleven-Year Financial Review


The 2012 Investor Fact Book provides an historical, eleven-year financial
review of The McGraw-Hill Companies.

To reflect changes being created by the Growth and


Value Plan, new names for some operations were
introduced:

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services


(formerly Standard & Poor’s segment)

S&P Capital IQ/S&P Indices


(formerly McGraw-Hill Financial segment)

Commodities & Commercial Markets


(formerly Information & Media segment)

McGraw-Hill Education

After separation, the newly named McGraw-Hill


Financial will report financial results for five lines
of business:

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services

S&P Capital IQ

S&P Dow Jones Indices(1)

Commodities

Commercial Markets

Notes: Results for the four current operating segments have been recast on an annual basis for six years (2006–2011) and on a
quarterly basis for 2011 and 2010
Results have not been recast for the years 2001 to 2005
In this presentation, the segment noted as “Combined S&P Ratings, S&P Capital IQ/S&P Indices” was formerly named
“Financial Services” from 2001 to 2009
A summary of items affecting comparability of results is provided on pages 62 and 63
