Page 2 of 23
Revenues increased 3% due to 3% growth in recurring revenues (83% of total revenues) and 12% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 4% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth was negatively impacted by net acquisitions and disposals of 4%. Foreign currency had no significant impact on revenue growth.
| ● | Organic revenues increased 7% reflecting 9% growth in recurring revenues, 4% growth in transactions revenues and a 4%<br>decline in Global Print. |
|---|---|
| ● | The company’s “Big 3” segments reported organic revenue growth of 9% and collectively comprised 82% of<br>total revenues. |
| --- | --- |
Operating profit increased 43% driven by an other operating gain on the sale of the company’s remaining minority equity interest in the Elite business as well as higher revenues, partly offset by higher amortization of computer software.
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes other operating gains and amortization of computer software, as well as other<br>adjustments, increased 10% and the related margin increased to 37.7% from 35.3% in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher operating leverage. Foreign currency contributed 20 basis points to the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA<br>margin. |
|---|
Diluted EPS increased to $0.94 per share compared to $0.67 per share in the prior-year period primarily due to higher operating profit.
| ● | Adjusted EPS, which excludes other operating gains, as well as other adjustments, increased to $0.85 per share compared<br>to $0.80 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher interest expense and amortization of internally developed software. |
|---|
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $52 million as the cash benefits from higher operating profit were more than offset by certain changes in working capital.
| ● | Free cash flow decreased by $65 million due to lower net cash provided by operating activities and higher capital<br>expenditures. |

Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $354 million.
| ● | The margin increased to 48.7% from 44.9% primarily reflecting higher operating leverage due in part to the disposal of<br>the FindLaw business. |
|---|
Corporates
Revenues increased 9%, all organic.
| ● | Recurring revenues increased 8% (89% of total, increased 9% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by<br>Indirect Tax, Direct Tax, Pagero, Practical Law, and the segment’s international businesses. |
|---|---|
| ● | Transactions revenues increased 19% (11% of total, increased 5% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by<br>increases in Pagero, Indirect Tax, Confirmation and Global Trade. |
| --- | --- |

Tax & Accounting Professionals
Revenues increased 15%, including the acquisition impact of SafeSend which was reflected in transactions revenues. Organic revenue growth was 10%.
| ● | Recurring revenues increased 9% (73% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by the<br>segment’s Latin America business and its tax and audit products. |
|---|---|
| ● | Transactions revenues increased 36% (27% of total, increased 12% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by<br>SafeSend, UltraTax, Confirmation and the segment’s international businesses. |
| --- | --- |
Adjusted EBITDA increased 32% to $78 million.
| ● | The margin increased to 31.2% from 26.8%, primarily reflecting operating leverage on higher revenue growth.<br> |
|---|
The Tax & Accounting Professionals segment is the company’s most seasonal business with approximately 60% of full-year revenues typically generated in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, the margin performance of this segment has been generally higher in the first and fourth quarters as costs are typically incurred in a more linear fashion throughout the year.
Reuters News
Revenues increased 4%, 3% organic, primarily due to higher Agency revenues and a contractual price increase from our news agreement with the Data & Analytics business of London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).
Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% to $42 million and the margin decreased to 19.9% from 20.4%.
Global Print
Revenues decreased 4%, all organic, driven by lower shipment volumes.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $46 million, and the margin increased to 37.1% from 33.1%, both reflecting lower expenses.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs were $22 million compared to $29 million in the prior-year period.

Revenues increased 2% due to 3% growth in recurring revenues (81% of total revenues) and 4% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 6% decline in Global Print.

Operating profit increased 15% driven by an other operating gain on the sale of the company’s remaining minority equity interest in the Elite business in the current-year period compared to other operating losses in the prior-year period. Higher revenues also contributed to growth. These items were partly offset by higher operating expenses and amortization of computer software.

|---|
Diluted EPS decreased to $2.59 per share compared to $3.59 per share in the prior-year period primarily because the prior-year period included a $468 million or $1.04 per share non-cash tax benefit related to tax legislation enacted in Canada.
| ● | Adjusted EPS, which excludes the non-cash tax benefit, other operating gains and<br>losses, as well as other adjustments, increased to $2.85 per share compared to $2.76 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher amortization of internally developed software.<br> |
|---|
Net cash provided by operating activities was essentially unchanged as the cash benefits from higher operating profit were offset by certain changes in working capital.
| ● | Free cash flow decreased by $34 million primarily due to higher capital expenditures. |

2025 Outlook
The company reaffirmed its 2025 full-year outlook, last updated on August 6, 2025, for all measures. Total revenue growth and organic revenue growth are trending towards the lower-end of the 3.0% to 3.5% and 7.0% to 7.5% ranges, respectively. The organic revenue growth outlook for the company’s “Big 3” segments remains at approximately 9%.
The company’s outlook for 2025 in the table below assumes constant currency rates and does not factor in the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the remainder of the year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.
The company expects its fourth-quarter 2025 organic revenue growth to be approximately 7%, including approximately 9% organic revenue growth for its “Big 3” segments, and its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 39%.
The company’s 2025 outlook is forward-looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties (see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions”). In particular, the company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment, among other factors, could impact the company’s ability to achieve its outlook.

Updated 2026 Financial Framework
The company updated its full-year 2026 financial framework provided on February 6, 2025. It now expects adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of approximately 100 basis points, up from the prior view of 50 basis points or more, and also expects free cash flow of approximately $2.1 billion, which is the high end of the prior $2.0 to $2.1 billion range.
All other measures remained unchanged. The company continues to target an organic revenue growth range of 7.5% to 8.0%, driven by an approximately 9.5% organic growth rate for the “Big 3” segments. It anticipates accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues to be approximately 8%, and an effective tax rate of approximately 19%.
The updated financial framework assumes constant currency rates and does not factor in the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during this time horizon.
The information in this section is forward-looking. Actual results, which will include the impact of currency and future acquisitions anddispositions completed during 2025 and 2026, may differ materially from the company’s 2025 outlook and 2026 financial framework. The information in this section should also be read in conjunction with the section below entitled “SpecialNote Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions.”

The company modified its definition of net debt to account for interest rate swap arrangements entered into during the third quarter of 2025. The change didnot have a material impact on its calculation of net debt.
Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures assupplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes and the company’s business outlook and financial framework. Additionally, Thomson Reuters usesnon-IFRS measures as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation ofsimilar measures used by other companies and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciledto the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables.

The company’s outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. Thecompany believes that providing reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in its outlook and financial framework would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty ofprojecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for purposes of its outlook and financial framework only, the company is unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because it cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of itsresults reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, and (ii) other finance income or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, the company cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of otheroperating gains and losses that generally arise from business transactions that the company does not currently anticipate.
ROUNDING
Other than EPS, the company reports its results in millions of U.S. dollars, but computes percentage changes and margins using whole dollars to be more precise. As aresult, percentages and margins calculated from reported amounts may differ from those presented, and growth components may not total due to rounding.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, MATERIAL RISKS AND MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS
Certain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to, statements in Mr. Hasker’s comments, the “2025 Outlook” and the“Updated 2026 Financial Framework” sections, are forward-looking. The words “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “target”, “estimate”, “could”, “should”,“intend”, “predict”, “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While the company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this news release,they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes and there is no assurance that any of the other events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertaintiesand assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond the company’s control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict.
Some of the material risk factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-lookingstatements in this news release include, but are not limited to, those discussed on pages 16-27 in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s 2024 annual report. These and other risk factorsare discussed in materials that Thomson Reuters from time-to-time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission (SEC). Thomson Reuters’ annual and quarterly reports are also available in the “Investor Relations” section of tr.com*.*
The company’s business outlook and financial framework are based on information currently available to the company and are based on various external andinternal assumptions made by the company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the company believes are appropriate under the circumstances.Material assumptions and material risks may cause actual performance to differ from the company’s expectations underlying its business outlook and financial framework. In particular, the global economy has experienced substantial disruptiondue to concerns regarding economic effects associated with the macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical risks. The company’s business outlook and financial framework assume that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions willcontinue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility, however, these conditions may last substantially longer than expected and any worsening of the global economic or business environment could impact the company’s ability toachieve its outlook and financial framework, as well as affect its results and other expectations. For a discussion of material assumptions and material risks related to the company’s 2025 outlook which, in all material respects, apply to the2026 financial framework, see pages 18-19 of the company’s second-quarter management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the period ended June 30, 2025. The company’squarterly MD&A and annual report was filed with, or furnished to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. SEC and are also available in the “Investor Relations” section of tr.com.
The company has provided an outlook and financial framework for the purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the period presented. Thisinformation may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations only as of the date of this news release.
Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

| Non-IFRS Financial Measures | Definition | Why Useful to the Company and Investors |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA and the related margin | Represents earnings or losses from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or<br>income, depreciation, amortization of computer software and other identifiable intangible assets, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and<br>losses, certain asset impairment charges and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue. The related margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are<br>before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue. | Provides a consistent basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends by excluding items that the<br>company does not consider to be controllable activities for this purpose. Also, represents a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as a valuation metric, as well as to assess the company’s ability to incur and service<br>debt. |
| Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS | Net earnings or loss including dividends declared on<br>preference shares but excluding the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets (attributable to other<br>identifiable intangible assets and acquired computer software), other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or<br>losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Acquired intangible assets contribute to the generation of revenues from acquired companies, which are included in the company’s computation<br>of adjusted earnings.<br> <br><br> <br>The post-tax amount of each item<br>is excluded from adjusted earnings based on the specific tax rules and tax rates associated with the nature and jurisdiction of each item.<br> <br><br><br><br>Adjusted EPS is calculated from adjusted earnings using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to<br>shareholders. | Provides a more comparable basis to<br>analyze earnings.<br> <br><br> <br>These measures are commonly used by shareholders to measure<br>performance. |
| Effective tax rate on adjusted earnings | Adjusted tax expense divided by pre-tax adjusted earnings. Adjusted tax expense is computed as income tax (benefit) expense plus or minus the income tax impacts of all items impacting adjusted earnings (as described above), and other tax items<br>impacting comparability.<br> <br><br> <br>In interim periods, the company also makes an adjustment to reflect<br>income taxes based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The non-IFRS adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods but has no effect on full-year income taxes. | Provides a basis to analyze the<br>effective tax rate associated with adjusted earnings.<br> <br><br> <br>The company’s effective tax rate<br>computed in accordance with IFRS may be more volatile by quarter because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year. Therefore, the<br>company believes that using the expected full-year effective tax rate provides more comparability among interim periods. |
| Free cash flow | Net cash provided by operating activities and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, payments of lease principal and<br>dividends paid on the company’s preference shares. | Helps assess the company’s ability, over the long term, to create value for its shareholders as it represents cash<br>available to repay debt, pay common dividends, fund share repurchases and acquisitions. |
| Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at “constant currency” | The changes in revenues, adjusted EBITDA and the related margin, and adjusted EPS before currency (at constant currency or excluding the<br>effects of currency) are determined by converting the current and equivalent prior period’s local currency results using the same foreign currency exchange rate. | Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period. |
| Changes in revenues computed on an “organic” basis | Represent changes in revenues of the company’s existing businesses at constant currency. The metric excludes the distortive impacts<br>of acquisitions and dispositions from not owning the business in both comparable periods. | Provides further insight into the performance of the company’s existing businesses by excluding distortive impacts<br>and serves as a better measure of the company’s ability to grow its business over the long term. |
| Accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues | Accrued capital expenditures divided by revenues, where accrued capital expenditures include amounts that remain unpaid at the end of the<br>reporting period.
