Third Quarter 2025 Results
Revenue:
- Total revenue for the quarter was $1,170 million, an increase of 8 percent (8 percent on a constant currency basis and 7 percent on an organic constant currency basis), compared with the third quarter of 2024.
Earnings:
- Net income attributable to TransUnion was $97 million for the quarter, compared with $68 million for the third quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share was $0.49, compared with $0.35 in the third quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to TransUnion margin was 8.3 percent, compared with 6.3 percent in the third quarter of 2024.
- Adjusted Net Income was $216 million for the quarter, compared with $205 million for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $1.10, compared with $1.04 in the third quarter of 2024.

“In the third quarter, TransUnion delivered strong results that again exceeded financial guidance,” said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. “Revenue growth was 8 percent; excluding last year’s large breach remediation win, organic constant currency growth was 11 percent, our strongest underlying growth since 2021. Financial Services and Emerging Verticals growth accelerated to 19 percent and 7.5 percent, respectively. International grew 6 percent on an organic constant currency basis, with double-digit growth in the UK, Canada and Africa.”
“We are raising our 2025 guidance, supported by third quarter outperformance, stable U.S. lending trends, and strong commercial momentum. We now expect 8 to 8.5 percent revenue growth.”
“Our strong earnings growth, improving free cash flow generation and natural de-levering position us to accelerate the return of capital to shareholders. We have repurchased $200 million in shares year-to-date and increased our share repurchase program authorization to $1 billion. We view share repurchases as a highly attractive use of capital.”
Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results

| U.S. Markets: | | | | |
| Financial Services | $438 | 19% | 19% | 19% |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents was $750 million at September 30, 2025 and $679 million at December 31, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $668 million, compared with $579 million in 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to improved operating performance and lower interest expense in 2025 and a penalty paid for the early termination of a facility lease in 2024, partially offset by higher income tax payments, the timing of accounts receivable collections and higher bonus payouts in 2025 compared with 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $307 million, compared with $195 million in 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to our acquisition of Monevo, an increase in capital expenditures and current year investments in a note receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, capital expenditures were $229 million, compared with $199 million in 2024. Capital expenditures as a percent of revenue represented 7% and 6%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities was $301 million, compared with $220 million in 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to share repurchases in 2025, partially offset by higher debt prepayments in 2024.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 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 and inflation. 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 expressed by this guidance.

1.Additional revenue growth assumptions:
a.The impact of changing exchange rates is expected to be immaterial for Q4 2025 and for FY 2025.
b.The impact of the recent acquisition is expected to have approximately 1 point of benefit for Q4 2025 and approximately 0.5 point of benefit for FY 2025.
c.The impact of mortgage is expected to be approximately 2 points of benefit for Q4 2025 and approximately 2 points of benefit for FY 2025.
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.
4.Additional Adjusted EBITDA assumptions:
a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be immaterial for Q4 2025 and for FY 2025.

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.
- Operating model optimization program represents employee separation costs, facility lease exit costs and other business process optimization expenses incurred in connection with the transformation plan discussed further in “Results of Operations - Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2025. We exclude these expenses 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.
- 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 and increased the total estimated cost to approximately $240 million. 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. The additional investment is expected to be approximately $90 million during 2024 and 2025 and represents the final phase of the technology investment in our global technology infrastructure and core customer applications. We expect that the accelerated technology investment will fundamentally transform 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 requires 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 after the program has been completed and are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Therefore, we believe that excluding these costs 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.
- 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) post-acquisition adjustments to contingent consideration or to assets and liabilities that occurred after the acquisition measurement period, (iii) fair value and impairment adjustments related to investments and call and put options, including gains or losses on a step acquisition, (iv) transition services agreement income, and (v) a loss on disposal of a business. 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.
- Net other adjustments principally relate to: (i) deferred loan fee expense from debt prepayments and refinancing, (ii) currency remeasurement on foreign operations, (iii) 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, (iv) certain legal and regulatory expenses, net, and (v) other non-operating (income) 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 represents 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)
- Operating model optimization program (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
- Accelerated technology investment (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
- Mergers and acquisitions, divestiture and business optimization (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 Statements 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 expense (benefit) 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.
