Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 9.5% in Q2 and 8.4% YTD compared to 2024, driven by growth in both U.S. and International segments. U.S. Financial Services revenue grew 17.1% in Q2, primarily due to price increases in the Mortgage line of business.
• Profitability: Operating income rose 5.4% in Q2 and 31.5% YTD. Net income attributable to TransUnion increased 28.9% in Q2 and 71.6% YTD.
• Expense Management: Cost of services increased 15.5% in Q2 due to higher product costs and volume. Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 4.0% YTD, largely due to a $56.0 million reduction in legal accruals following the dismissal of a CFPB lawsuit.
• Acquisition Impact: The company completed the acquisition of the remaining 70% of Monevo Limited in April 2025, recognizing a $12.3 million non-taxable gain on the step acquisition.
• Restructuring: No restructuring expenses were recorded in Q2 2025, compared to $8.1 million in Q2 2024, as the company continues its transformation plan with remaining costs expected in 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Transformation Plan: The company expects to incur total one-time pre-tax expenses of $355.0 to $375.0 million for its transformation plan through the end of 2025. Upon completion, it anticipates annual savings of $120.0 to $140.0 million and a reduction in capital expenditures from 8% to 6% of revenue.
• Capital Allocation: A $500.0 million share repurchase plan was authorized in February 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $461.6 million remains available. The company repurchased approximately 388,000 shares in Q2 for $33.5 million.
• Dividends: The company paid dividends of $0.115 per share in Q2. Management intends to continue paying quarterly dividends subject to Board approval and liquidity conditions.
• Regulatory Risks: While a 2017 Consent Order lawsuit was dismissed in March 2025, a separate CFPB matter regarding dispute handling practices remains open. Engagement has paused due to leadership changes at the CFPB, and the company cannot estimate potential losses.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Elevated interest rates continue to suppress demand in the housing sector. The company notes uncertainty regarding potential tariff implementations and their impact on global economic growth and inflation.

Investor Verification Checklist

• CFPB Litigation Status: Verify the current status of the ongoing CFPB enforcement action regarding dispute handling practices and potential financial exposure.
• Transformation Plan Execution: Monitor the realization of the projected $120-$140 million in annual savings and the timeline for completing the technology migration (Project Rise).
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the Senior Secured Credit Facility covenants, specifically the senior secured net leverage ratio (currently 2.8x, well below the 5.5x limit).
• Revenue Mix: Assess the sustainability of the 17.1% growth in the U.S. Financial Services segment, particularly the Mortgage line, given the high-interest-rate environment.
• Capital Expenditures: Track capital expenditure levels to ensure they align with the target of 8% of revenue for 2025 and the long-term goal of 6%.
