Thomson Reuters Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results
Page 2 of 21 ****
Revenues increased 5% due to 6% growth in recurring revenues (84% of total revenues) and 11% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 6% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth was negatively impacted by net acquisitions and disposals of 3%. Foreign currency had a slightly positive impact on revenue growth.
| ● | Organic revenues increased 7% reflecting 9% growth in recurring revenues, 8% growth in transactions revenues and a 6%<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 decreased 25% primarily due to other operating gains in the prior-year period substantially related to the sale of FindLaw, as well as higher amortization of software in the current period. These items more than offset the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses.
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes other operating gains, amortization of software, as well as other adjustments, increased 8%<br>and the related margin increased to 38.7% from 37.6% in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher operating leverage. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 30 basis points.<br> |
|---|
Diluted EPS decreased to $0.74 per share compared to $1.30 per share in the prior-year period primarily due to lower operating profit. Additionally, the prior-year period also included currency benefits reflected in other finance costs or income.
| ● | Adjusted EPS, which excludes net other operating gains, other finance costs or income, as well as other adjustments,<br>increased to $1.07 per share compared to $1.01 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher amortization of internally developed software and interest expense. |
|---|
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $192 million as higher cash benefits from the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses and certain component changes in working capital were partly offset by higher income tax payments.
| ● | Free cash flow increased by $156 million as higher net cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by<br>lower cash flows from other investing activities, which included a cash flow benefit in the prior-year period. |

Corporates
Revenues increased 7% despite a negative impact from the sale of certain non-core businesses. Organic revenues increased 9%.
| ● | Recurring revenues increased 7% (88% of total, increased 9% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by<br>Indirect Tax, Direct Tax, Westlaw, Practical Law, Pagero and the segment’s international businesses. |
|---|---|
| ● | Transactions revenues increased 7% (12% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by increases in<br>Indirect Tax, Global Trade and the segment’s international businesses. |
| --- | --- |
Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $160 million and the margin decreased to 32.2% from 33.5%. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 60 basis points.
Tax,Audit & Accounting Professionals
Revenues increased 13%, including the acquisition impact of SafeSend which was reflected in transactions revenues. Organic revenue growth was 11%.
| ● | Recurring revenues increased 12% (86% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by UltraTax,<br>CoCounsel and the segment’s Latin America business. |
|---|---|

The Tax, Audit & 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
Revenues increased 6% (5% organic), primarily due to higher generative AI related transactional content licensing revenue in the Agency business, as well as a contractual price increase from the company’s news agreement with the Data & Analytics business of London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

Global Print
Revenues decreased 6%, all organic, driven by lower shipment volumes.

2026 Outlook
The company’s outlook for 2026 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 year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.
The company expects its first-quarter 2026 organic revenue growth to be approximately 7% and its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 42%.
The company’s 2026 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.

The information in this section is forward-looking. Actual results, which will include the impact of currency, futureacquisitions and dispositions completed during 2026, and macroeconomic events outside of the company’s control may differ materially from the company’s 2026 outlook. The information in this section should also be read in conjunction withthe section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions.” The company’s 2026 outlook is also based on certain assumptions described in the cross-referenced section,which the company believes are reasonable in the circumstances, and is subject to a number of risks, including those specifically identified in the cross-referenced section and those facing the company generally.
Segment Name Changes
As reflected in this earnings release, the company changed the names of its Tax & Accounting Professionals segment to Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals and its Reuters News segment to Reuters to reflect the broader scope of the activities in each of the respective segments. These name changes did not change the segments’ composition or the measurement of the segments’ results as previously or currently reported.
Dividends and Common Shares Outstanding
The company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a 10% or $0.24 per share annualized increase in the dividend to $2.62 per common share, representing the 33^rd^ consecutive year of dividend increases and the fifth consecutive 10% increase. A quarterly dividend of $0.655 per share is payable on March 10, 2026 to common shareholders of record as of February 17, 2026.
Thomson Reuters had approximately 445.0 million common shares outstanding as of February 3, 2026.
$1.0 Billion Share Repurchase Program
In August 2025, the company announced its plan to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common shares under a Normal Course Issuer Bid that was approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). In late October 2025, the company completed the program by repurchasing 6.0 million of its common shares.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Thomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with International FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA (other than at the customer segment level)and the related margin, free cash flow, adjusted earnings and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues, net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA,selected measures excluding the impact of foreign currency, changes in revenues computed on an organic basis as well as all financial measures for the “Big 3” segments. The company modified its definition of net debt to account forinterest rate swap arrangements entered into during the third quarter of 2025. The change did not have a material impact on its calculation of net debt.
Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financialposition as well as for internal planning purposes and the company’s business outlook. Additionally, Thomson Reuters uses non-IFRS measures as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meaningsprescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar 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 reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables.
The company’s outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. The company believes that providing reconciliationsof forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in its outlook would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in anyfuture period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for purposes of its outlook only, the company is unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRSmeasures because it cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of its results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, and (ii) other financeincome or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, the company cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses that generally arise from business transactions that the company doesnot currently anticipate.
ROUNDING
Other than EPS, the companyreports its results in millions of U.S. dollars, but computes percentage changes and margins using whole dollars to be more precise. As a result, percentages and margins calculated from reported amounts may differ from those presented, and growthcomponents 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 and the “2026 Outlook” section, areforward-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 thereis 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, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differmaterially 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-looking statements inthis 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 factors are discussedin materials that Thomson Reuters from time-to-time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission (SEC). Thomson Reuters’ annual and quarterly reports are also available in the “Investor Relations” section of tr.com*.*
The company’s business 2026 outlook is based on information currently available to the company and is based on various external and internal assumptions madeby 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 andmaterial risks may cause actual performance to differ from the company’s expectations underlying its business outlook. In particular, the global economy has experienced substantial disruption due to concerns regarding economic effectsassociated with the macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical risks. The company’s business outlook assumes that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue 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 to achieve its outlook and affect its results and other expectations.Material assumptions related to the company’s revenue outlook are that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility; there will be a continued need for trustedproducts and services that help customers navigate evolving and complex legal, tax, audit, accounting, regulatory, geopolitical and commercial changes, developments and environments, and for cloud-based digital tools that drive productivity; ThomsonReuters will have a continued ability to deliver innovative products that meet evolving customer demands; the company will acquire new customers through expanded and improved digital platforms, simplification of the product portfolio and throughother sales initiatives; and the company will improve customer retention through commercial simplification efforts and customer service improvements. Material assumptions related to the company’s adjusted EBITDA margin outlook are its abilityto achieve revenue growth targets; the company’s business mix continues to shift to higher-growth product offerings; and integration expenses associated with recent acquisitions will reduce margins. Material assumptions related to thecompany’s free cash flow outlook are its ability to achieve its revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets; and accrued capital expenditures approximate the percentage of revenues as set forth in the company’s outlook. Materialassumptions related to the company’s effective tax rate on adjusted earnings outlook are its ability to achieve its adjusted EBITDA target; the mix of taxing jurisdictions where the company recognizedpre-tax profit or losses in 2025 does not significantly change; no unexpected changes in tax laws or treaties within the jurisdictions where the company operates; no

significant charges or benefits from the finalization of prior tax years; depreciation and amortization of internallydeveloped software as set forth in the company’s outlook; and net interest expense as set forth in the company’s outlook.
Material risks relatedto the company’s revenue outlook are that ongoing geopolitical instability and uncertainty regarding interest rates and inflation, continue to impact the global economy. The severity and duration of any one, or a combination, of theseconditions could impact the global economy and lead to lower demand for our products and services (beyond our assumption that these disruptions will cause periods of volatility); uncertainty in the legal regulatory regime relating to artificialintelligence (AI) has made it difficult for the company to predict the risks associated with the use of AI in its businesses and products. Future legislation may make it harder for the company to conduct its business using AI, lead to regulatoryfines or penalties, require it to change its product offerings or business practices or prevent or limit its use of AI; demand for the company’s products and services could be reduced by changes in customer buying patterns or in its inabilityto execute on key product design or customer support initiatives; competitive pricing actions and product innovation could impact the company’s revenues; and the company’s sales, commercial simplification and product initiatives may beinsufficient to retain customers or generate new sales. Material risks related to the company’s adjusted EBITDA margin outlook are the same as the risks above related to the revenue outlook; higher than expected inflation may lead togreater than anticipated increase in labor costs, third-party supplier costs and costs of print materials; and acquisition and disposal activity may dilute the company’s adjusted EBITDA margin. Material risks related to the company’sfree cash flow outlook are the same as the risks above related to the revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets; a weaker macroeconomic environment could negatively impact working capital performance, including the ability of the company’scustomers to pay; capital expenditures may be higher than currently expected; and the timing and amount of tax payments to governments may differ from the company’s expectations. Material risks related to the company’s effective tax rateon adjusted earnings outlook are the same as the risks above related to adjusted EBITDA; a material change in the geographical mix of the company’s pre-tax profits and losses; a material change incurrent tax laws or treaties to which the company is subject, and did not expect; resolution of tax audits may cause material changes to assessments of uncertain tax positions as compared to current estimates; and depreciation and amortization ofinternally developed software as well as net interest expense may be significantly higher or lower than expected.
The company has provided an outlook forthe purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the period presented. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflectexpectations only as of the date of this news release.
Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update orrevise 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 software and other identifiable intangible assets, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and losses,<br>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 before<br>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 software), other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in<br>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 of<br>adjusted earnings.<br> <br><br> <br>The post-tax amount of each item is<br>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 expense or benefit 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. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue. | Reflects the basis on which the company manages capital expenditures for internal planning purposes. |
| “Big 3” segments | The company’s combined Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. All measures<br>reported for the “Big 3” segments are non-IFRS financial measures. | The “Big 3” segments comprised approximately 80% of revenues and represent the core of the company’s<br>business information service product offerings. |
| Net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA | Net debt is total debt, plus related hedging instruments<br>and collateral balances, along with lease liabilities, excluding unamortized transaction costs and any premiums or discounts on debt, minus cash and cash equivalents. We exclude specific hedging components to reflect the net cash outflow upon debt<br>maturity.<br> <br><br> <br>Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the previous<br>twelve-month period ending with the current fiscal quarter. | Provides a commonly used measure of a<br>company’s leverage and its ability to pay its debt. Given that the company hedges some of its debt to manage risk, the company includes hedging instruments as it believes it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with its<br>outstanding debt. Since the company plans to hold its debt and related hedges until maturity, the net debt calculation is adjusted to reflect the net cash outflow at maturity, after deducting cash and cash equivalents.<br><br><br><br> <br>The company’s non-IFRS measure is aligned with the<br>calculation of its internal target leverage ratio and is more conservative than the maximum ratio allowed under the contractual covenants in its credit facility. |
