CHICAGO, October 27, 2026 – TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 Results
Revenue:
•Total revenue for the quarter was $1,312 million, an increase of 12 percent (12 percent on a constant currency basis and 8 percent on an organic constant currency basis), compared with the third quarter of 2025.
Earnings:
•Net income attributable to TransUnion was $156 million for the quarter, compared with $97 million for the third quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share was $0.81, compared with $0.49 in the third quarter of 2025. Net income attributable to TransUnion margin was 11.9 percent, compared with 8.3 percent in the third quarter of 2025.
•Adjusted Net Income was $242 million for the quarter, compared with $216 million for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $1.25, compared with $1.10 in the third quarter of 2025.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $465 million for the quarter, compared with $425 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 9 percent (10 percent on a constant currency basis and 5 percent on an organic constant currency basis). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 35.4 percent, compared with 36.3 percent in the third quarter of 2025.
“TransUnion delivered another quarter of strong results exceeding our guidance,” said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. “U.S. Markets revenue grew by 7 percent, led by U.S. Financial Services and Insurance. International accelerated to 10 percent growth on an organic constant currency basis, including 18 percent growth in India.”
“We are maintaining the high-end of 2026 guidance for revenue and raising guidance for Adjusted Diluted EPS, balancing business momentum against rising interest rates and overall market uncertainty. We continue to expect 2026 to mark our third consecutive year of at least high-single digit organic constant currency revenue growth and double-digit Adjusted Diluted EPS growth.”
“Progress against our technology modernization and accelerated innovation underpin these results. We continue to deliver increasingly diversified, innovation-led and scalable growth. We believe our growth momentum, increasing cash flow and strong balance sheet support an accelerated pace of capital return to shareholders in the near term.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents was $883 million at September 30, 2026 and $854 million at December 31, 2025.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $889 million, compared with $668 million in 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved operating performance and changes in working capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash used in investing activities was $754 million, compared with $307 million in 2025. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to our acquisitions of Trans Union de Mexico and the mobile division of RealNetworks LLC (“RealNetworks”), partially offset by proceeds from the sale of two investments and a prior year investment in a note receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, capital expenditures were $201 million, compared with $229 million in 2025. Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue represented 5% and 7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash used in financing activities was $86 million, compared with $301 million in 2025. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to borrowings from our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the purchase of Trans Union de Mexico, partially offset by higher share repurchase volume in 2026, the prepayment of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-5 debt and dividends paid to shareholders of Trans Union de Mexico.
On October 26, 2026, TransUnion’s Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $1 billion to $2 billion in total and declared a cash dividend of $0.135 per share, an increase from $0.125, for the third quarter of 2026. The dividend will be payable on November 25, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 10, 2026.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook
Our guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of the control of the Company, including general macroeconomic conditions, interest rates, inflation and regulatory changes. There are numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results below.

1.Additional revenue growth assumptions:
a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be immaterial for Q4 2026 and for FY 2026.
b.The impact of the recent acquisitions is expected to be approximately 5 points of benefit for Q4 2026 and approximately 4 points of benefit for FY 2026.
c.The impact of FICO mortgage royalty is expected to be approximately 1 point of benefit for Q4 2026 and approximately 3 points of benefit for FY 2026.
2.Constant currency growth rates assume foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
3.Organic constant currency growth rates are constant currency growth excluding inorganic growth. Inorganic growth represents growth attributable to the first twelve months of activity for recent business acquisitions, including Trans Union de Mexico, the mobile division of RealNetworks and Monevo.
4.Additional Adjusted EBITDA assumptions:
a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be approximately 1 point of headwind for Q4 2026 and is expected to be immaterial for FY 2026.
5.For a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, refer to Schedule 7 of this Earnings Release.

TRANSUNION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Leverage Ratio for all periods presented. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. These financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income attributable to the Company, diluted earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.
We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. These are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.
Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as an incentive compensation measure for most eligible employees and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as an incentive compensation measure for certain of our senior executives.
Under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to our Leverage Ratio which is partially based on Adjusted EBITDA. Investors also use our Leverage Ratio to assess our ability to service our debt and make other capital allocation decisions.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
Management has excluded the following items from net income attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
•Net interest expense is the sum of interest expense and interest income as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Provision for income taxes, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Depreciation and amortization, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Stock-based compensation is used as an incentive to engage and retain our employees. It is predominantly a non-cash expense. We exclude stock-based compensation because it may not correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations during the period since it is measured at the grant date fair value and it is subject to variability as a result of performance conditions and timing of grants. These expenses are reported within cost of services and selling, general and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses are non-recurring expenses associated with specific transactions (exploratory or executed) and consist of (i) transaction and integration costs, (ii) fair value and impairment adjustments related to investments and related call and put options, notes receivable, gains or losses on a step acquisition and mark-to-market adjustments on acquisition-related foreign currency forward contracts, (iii) post-acquisition adjustments to contingent consideration or to assets and liabilities that occurred after the acquisition measurement period. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary depending upon the timing of such transactions. These expenses are reported in costs of services, selling, general and administrative and other income and (expenses), net, on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Accelerated technology investment includes Project Rise and the final phase of our technology investment announced in November 2023. Project Rise was announced in February 2020 and was originally expected to be completed in 2022. Following our acquisition of Neustar in December 2021, we recognized the opportunity to take advantage of Neustar’s capabilities to enhance and complement our cloud-based technology already under development as part of Project Rise. As a result, we extended Project Rise’s timeline to 2024. In November 2023, we announced our plans to further leverage Neustar’s technology to standardize and streamline our product delivery platforms and to build a single global platform for fulfillment of our product lines. This represented the final phase of the technology investment in our global technology infrastructure and core customer applications. The accelerated technology investment fundamentally transformed our technology infrastructure by implementing a global cloud-based approach to streamline product development, increase the efficiency of ongoing operations and maintenance and enable a continuous improvement approach to avoid the need for another major technology overhaul in the foreseeable future. The unique effort to build a secure, reliable and performant hybrid cloud infrastructure required us to dedicate separate resources in order to develop the new cloud-based infrastructure in parallel with our current on-premise environment by maintaining our existing technology team to ensure no disruptions to our customers. The costs associated with the accelerated technology investment are incremental and redundant costs that will not recur now that the program has been completed and are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Therefore, we believe that excluding these costs through the end of the program in 2025 from our non-GAAP measures provides a better reflection of our ongoing cost structure. These costs are primarily reported in cost of services and therefore do not include amounts that are capitalized as internally developed software.
•Operating model optimization program represents employee separation costs, facility lease exit costs and other business process optimization expenses incurred in connection with our transformation plan. We excluded these expenses through the end of the program in 2025 as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business. Further, these costs will vary and may not be comparable during the transformation initiative as we progress toward an optimized operating model. These costs are reported primarily in restructuring and selling, general and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Net other adjustments principally relate to: (i) deferred loan fee expense from debt prepayments and refinancing, (ii) other debt financing expenses consisting primarily of revolving credit facility deferred financing fee amortization and commitment fees and expenses associated with ratings agencies and interest rate hedging, (iii) currency remeasurement on foreign operations, (iv) legal and regulatory expenses, net, and (v) other non-operating (income) and expense. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business and create variability between periods based on the nature and timing of the expense or income. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative and in non-operating income and expense, net as applicable based on their nature on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Management defines Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue as reported.
Adjusted Net Income
Management has excluded the following items from net income attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented:
•Amortization of certain intangible assets presents non-cash amortization expenses related to assets that arose from our 2012 change in control transaction and business combinations occurring after our 2012 change in control. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary dependent upon the timing of the transactions that give rise to these assets. Amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Stock-based compensation (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
•Mergers and acquisitions, divestiture and business optimization (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
•Accelerated technology investment (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
•Operating model optimization program (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
•Net other is consistent with the definition in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above except that other debt financing expenses and certain other miscellaneous income and expense that are included in the adjustment to calculate Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in the adjustment made to calculate Adjusted Net Income.
•Total adjustments for income taxes relates to the cumulative adjustments discussed below for Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes. This adjustment is made for the reasons indicated in Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes below. Adjustments related to the provision for income taxes are included in the line item by this name on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Management defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.
Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes
Management has excluded the following items from our provision for income taxes for the periods presented:
•Tax effect of above adjustments represents the income tax effect of the adjustments related to Adjusted Net Income described above. The tax rate applied to each adjustment is based on the nature of each line item. We include the tax effect of the adjustments made to Adjusted Net Income to provide a comprehensive view of our adjusted net income.
•Excess tax (benefit) expense for stock-based compensation is the permanent difference between expenses recognized for book purposes and expenses recognized for tax purposes, in each case related to stock-based compensation expense. We exclude this amount from the Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes in order to be consistent with the exclusion of stock-based compensation from the calculation of Adjusted Net Income.
•Other principally relates to (i) deferred tax adjustments, including rate changes, (ii) infrequent or unusual valuation allowance adjustments, (iii) return to provision, tax authority audit adjustments, and reserves related to prior periods, and (iv) other non-recurring items. We exclude these items because they create variability that impacts comparability between periods.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
Management defines Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes divided by Adjusted income before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income before income taxes by excluding the pre-tax
adjustments in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income discussed above and noncontrolling interest related to these pre-tax adjustments from income before income taxes.
Leverage Ratio
Management defines Leverage Ratio as net debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve-month period including twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA from significant acquisitions. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents as reported on the balance sheet as of the end of the period.
This earnings release presents constant currency growth rates assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents organic constant currency growth rates, which assumes consistent foreign currency exchange rates between years and also eliminates the impact of our recent acquisitions. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impacts of recent acquisitions.
Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and is a measure we may refer to.
