**PART I**

Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference to the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refers to TransUnion and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

**ITEM 1 BUSINESS**

**Overview** 

TransUnion is a leading global information and insights company that makes trust possible between businesses and consumers, helping people around the world access opportunities that can lead to a higher quality of life. That trust is built on TransUnion's ability to deliver safe, innovative solutions with credibility and consistency. We call this Information for Good.

We have built robust data and analytics assets for a large portion of the adult population in the markets we serve. We use our OneTru solution enablement platform to centralize data management, identity resolution and Artificial Intelligence ("AI") powered analytics, enabling more persistent identity resolution with sharper, more contextualized insights. We use these insights, combined with our industry expertise, to develop relevant solutions to solve customers' needs, including credit risk, marketing and fraud mitigation. Because of our work, customers can better understand consumers in order to make more informed decisions, earn consumer trust through personalized experiences, and extend the appropriate opportunities, tools and offers. In turn, we believe consumers can be confident that their data identities will result in better offers and opportunities.

Our solutions enable businesses to manage and measure credit risk, market to new and existing customers, verify consumer identities, and mitigate fraud. We have deep domain expertise across a number of attractive industries, which we also refer to as verticals, including our Financial Services and Emerging Verticals, which includes Insurance, Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, Telecommunications, Media, Tenant & Employment Screening, Collections and Public Sector. In addition, consumers use our solutions to view their credit profiles, access analytical tools that help them understand and manage their personal financial information, and take precautions against identity theft. We have a global presence in over 30 countries and territories across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

Our addressable market includes the global data and analytics market, which continues to grow as companies increasingly recognize the benefits of data and analytics-based decision making, and as consumers recognize the important role that their data identities play in their ability to procure goods and services and prevent fraud. There are several underlying trends supporting this market growth, including the proliferation of data, advances in technology such as AI that enable data to be processed more quickly and efficiently to provide business insights, and growing demand for these business insights across industries and geographies. We have grown our business by expanding the breadth and depth of our data, strengthening our analytics capabilities, expanding into complementary vertical markets, deepening our solution suites in areas such as fraud mitigation and marketing, building out our geographic portfolio, investing in technology infrastructure, and enhancing our global operating model. As a result, we believe we are well positioned to expand our share within the markets we currently serve.

Our solutions are based on a foundation of data assets, including financial, credit, fraud, alternative credit, identity, phone activity, digital device information, marketing, bankruptcy, lien, judgment, insurance claims, automotive and other relevant information obtained from thousands of sources including financial institutions, private databases and public records repositories. We refine, standardize and enhance this data using sophisticated algorithms to create proprietary databases. We are migrating these databases into the OneTru solutions enablement platform, which allows us to efficiently manage data collection, identity resolution, model development, decisioning, delivery and measurement to provide better insights to customers. OneTru is being used by a number of customers across credit, fraud and marketing solutions for identity resolution and is accelerating the pace of innovation.

We leverage our differentiated capabilities to serve a global customer base across multiple geographies and industry verticals. We offer our solutions to business customers across industries, and our customer base includes many of the largest companies in the industries we serve. We sell our solutions to leading consumer lending banks, credit card issuers, alternative lenders, online-only lenders ("FinTechs"), Point of Sale ("POS")/Buy Now Pay Later ("BNPL") lenders, auto lenders, auto insurance carriers, cable and telecom operators, retailers, media companies, and federal, state and local government agencies. We have also built a leading presence in several high-growth international markets. Millions of consumers across the globe use our data and tools to manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft.

We believe we have an attractive business model that has recurring and diversified revenue streams, low capital requirements, significant operating leverage and strong and stable cash flows.

We deliver organic growth by growing our transactional volume, increasing our sales to existing customers, developing new solutions and gaining new customers. We have a diversified portfolio across the markets we serve, reducing our exposure to cyclical trends in any particular vertical, product or geography. We operate primarily on contributory data models in which we typically obtain updated information at little or no cost.

**Our Evolution** 

We have established a track record of providing innovative solutions to businesses and consumers. Since our founding in 1968 as a provider of regional credit reporting services, we have built a comprehensive and unique database of United States ("U.S.") consumer information. We also strengthened our data, analytics and technology delivery capabilities and acquired complementary businesses to enhance our solutions. Leveraging our strengths in credit risk-oriented products and identity data, we also expanded our solution sets into adjacent solutions such as fraud mitigation and marketing.

Globally, we have built and acquired credit reporting agencies in new geographies, establishing strong international footholds across both emerging and mature markets while expanding the verticals we serve and solutions offered in these markets. We also expanded the reach of our consumer solutions both directly and by partnering with other market leaders and innovators.

As part of our continued evolution, we invested in several strategic initiatives to better serve our customers. These initiatives include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Growing our Data***: We continue to invest in the breadth and depth of our data. We introduced the concept of trended data to provide the trajectory of a consumer's risk profile, used public records data to enhance the scope of business issues we can address, incorporated alternative data into our databases to allow for a more comprehensive risk assessment of banked and unbanked consumers, and expanded our data assets to solve fraud mitigation and marketing use cases. We continue to improve the quality of our data, with a particular focus on foundational identity data, to provide deeper insights and create differentiated solutions for our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expanding into New Verticals and Geographic Markets:*** We established and grew our presence in diversified verticals, including Insurance, Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, Telecommunications, Media, Tenant & Employment Screening, Collections and Public Sector. We expanded the reach of our consumer offerings by partnering with traditional and emerging providers, as well as adding identity protection and breach remediation offerings. We also diversified geographically by establishing a presence in attractive high-growth markets such as the Philippines and India, as well as investing in strategically important markets such as the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Canada and our previously announced agreement to acquire majority ownership of Trans Union de Mexico, S.A., S.I.C. ("Trans Union de Mexico"), the consumer credit business of Mexico's largest credit bureau, Buró de Crédito, which we expect to close in the first quarter of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Broadening our Suites of Solutions:*** Building on our foundation in the credit space, we continue to expand our presence in adjacent solution areas, including fraud and marketing, by leveraging our differentiated data assets, AI capabilities, and modular platform architecture. Our solutions are increasingly developed globally and deployed locally, allowing for scalable innovation and faster time-to-market. We continue to rationalize our portfolio and invest in new products and enhancements aligned with customer needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Strengthening our Analytics and Identity Resolution Capabilities:*** We strengthened our analytics capabilities by leveraging modern technology and differentiated data assets, utilizing more advanced tools and expanding our analytics team to deliver AI-powered insights. Our strengthened analytics capabilities also shortened our time-to-market to create and deliver these solutions to our customers. We also have comprehensive identity data assets across traditional offline identity and emerging digital identity attributes, core competency in identity data acquisition, AI and Machine Learning ("ML") based entity resolution and attribute linking, and leading expertise in identity services, especially identity matching. Over the last two years we have brought significant enrichment to our identity data assets, mostly focused on digital attributes, optimization of our entity resolution, expansion of identity attributes and standardization of services on our OneTru platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Investing in our Technology:*** Technology is at the core of the solutions we provide to our customers. We continue to make significant investments to evolve our technology infrastructure by leveraging both internal and external resources. Our technology modernization transforms 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. We also leverage the latest data and analytics technologies, enabling us to improve speed and increase our operational efficiency. Our investments allow us to organize and handle high volumes of disparate data, improve delivery speeds, provide better availability, strengthen product development capabilities and continuously enhance our information security measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Enhancing our Global Operating Model:*** We continue to strengthen our global operating model to enable scalable growth and accelerate innovation. In 2025, our Global Solutions Organization introduced cross-functional leadership teams aligned with a refreshed global product development lifecycle, streamlining decision-making, empowering teams, and fostering stronger partnership across the organization. Our go-to-market approach now incorporates specialized sellers and refreshed multi-year planning processes to improve sales effectiveness. At the same time, our Global Technology, Data & Analytics Organization is advancing our platform modernization, with solutions

increasingly built on OneTru and deployed globally. These initiatives are complemented by targeted hiring of industry experts to foster vertical-specific innovation and by a tiered global sales structure designed to deepen engagement across strategic accounts, mid-market, and small and medium sized businesses.

As part of our global operating model, we established our award-winning Global Capability Centers ("GCCs") in 2018 to centralize, standardize and automate common work in locations with deep talent pools, which currently include India, South Africa and Costa Rica. At the end of 2025, we completed the transformation plan to optimize our operating model that our Board of Directors ("Board") approved in November 2023. As a part of our transformation plan, we transitioned additional job responsibilities to the GCCs, resulting in productivity improvements, cost reductions, and optimized business processes. Our GCCs represent approximately 42% of our global workforce supporting a wide range of functions.

We believe that our ongoing focus on evolving with the market and with our customers' needs ensures continued improvement in our overall services to businesses and consumers. Leveraging our trusted brand, global scale and strong market position in the verticals we serve will allow us to capitalize on business opportunities worldwide and contribute to our long-term growth.

**Our Market Opportunity** 

We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term trend of businesses and consumers using data and analytics to make more informed decisions. As worldwide spending on data and analytics increases, we believe there are several trends that will create increasing demand for our solutions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Rapid Growth in Data Creation and Application:*** Larger and more diversified data assets are now assembled faster while the breadth of analytical applications and solutions has expanded. Companies are increasingly relying on business analytics and data technologies to help process this data in a cost-efficient manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proliferation of Digital Commerce:*** Increases in online commerce activity are creating new challenges and opportunities for businesses and consumers. Businesses seek data, analytics and insights to improve targeting precision and identity verification in these digital environments, in order to enable better consumer experiences. Additionally, consumers are seeking more frictionless digital experiences, while also facing heightened risk of identity theft.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Advances in Technology and Analytics Unlocking the Value of Data:*** Ongoing advances in data collection, storage and analytics technology, along with ongoing advancements in AI and ML, have contributed to the greater use and value of data and analytics in decision making. Businesses increasingly expect access to real-time data and analytics as well as solutions that fully integrate into their workflows. We believe sophisticated technology is critical for gaining and retaining business in the risk and information services industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Leveraging AI to Enhance Solutions and Drive Productivity:*** Advancements in AI over the last three years, particularly in generative AI, agentic systems, and knowledge graphs, have created significant opportunities for businesses in the data and analytics sector. With OneTru, we are positioned to take advantage of these advancements in AI. We have started leveraging AI for product innovation, including our TruIQ suite of products and knowledge graphs underpinning our fraud and marketing solutions. We are also integrating agentic AI capabilities in TruIQ to automate the end-to-end data and analytics value chain. In addition, we have built and started using proprietary AI tools such as OneTru AI Assist to drive productivity across the software development lifecycle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Greater Adoption of Data Solutions Across New and Existing Industry Verticals:*** We believe companies across industry verticals recognize the value of tailored risk information and analytical tools.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ ***Financial Services:*** There is strong competition in the financial services space, with traditional financial services companies and consumer lenders competing against an increasing number of FinTechs and POS/BNPL lenders. FinTechs and POS/BNPL lenders provide access to credit in a fast and efficient manner by utilizing sophisticated risk assessment tools that leverage data, such as behavioral data, transactional data and employment and credit information. Traditional lenders are also increasing their use of these new solutions to grow their businesses, lower operating costs and better serve customers while addressing regulatory requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ ***Insurance:*** Consumers increasingly obtain quotes from multiple insurers in an effort to lower their costs. In response, insurers are seeking to improve the accuracy of their risk assessments and initial quotes. For example, insurance carriers use driver violation data to uncover offenses that will impact pricing earlier in the quoting process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ ***Other Emerging Verticals****:* In the Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, and Telecommunications verticals we offer data-driven solutions that address the entire customer lifecycle. In the Media vertical, our highly accurate consumer data helps companies improve their marketing investments, providing identity and audience solutions to help our customers reach the right consumers across digital channels. Our Tenant &

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

Employment Screening vertical provides data and insights to make informed hiring and rental decisions. In the Collections vertical, our solutions improve third-party collectors' bottom line and help provide a quality customer experience by delivering actionable consumer insights and services. Our suite of solutions in the Public Sector vertical gives government agencies the superior data assets, analytics and security they need to manage compliance and boost services for the constituents they serve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Increasing Lending Activity in Emerging International Markets:*** Credit penetration, as measured by the proportion of credit active adults, is relatively low in emerging markets, such as India. As emerging market economies develop and mature, we expect favorable socio-economic trends, such as a growing middle class and a significant increase in the use of financial services by previously under-banked consumers. We expect the populations in emerging markets to continue to become more credit active, resulting in increased demand for our services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Increased Management and Monitoring of Personal Financial Information and Identity Protection by Consumers:*** We expect demand for consumer solutions to rise with the increasing availability of real-time, free credit information as well as greater consumer awareness of the importance of understanding and monitoring their credit information and protecting their identity. We believe these trends will drive growth for our consumer business.

**Our Competitive Strengths** 

***Comprehensive and Unique Data Assets***

Our long operating history and thought leadership in the industry have allowed us to build comprehensive and unique data assets that would be difficult for a new market entrant to replicate. Our solutions are based on a foundation of financial, credit, alternative credit, fraud, marketing, identity, bankruptcy, lien, judgment, automotive and other relevant information obtained from thousands of sources including financial institutions, private databases, public records repositories and other alternative data sources. We refine, standardize and enhance this data using sophisticated algorithms to create proprietary databases. We are constantly updating our data to keep it current, and we continue to identify opportunities to acquire additional data. We believe that our data is unique and differentiates us from our competitors. We own several proprietary data assets such as consumer credit information, driver violation history, phone activity, digital device identifiers, business data and rental payment history. Our global data assets encompass alternative data, such as the voter registry in India, a vehicle information database in South Africa and a mobile device database. We believe we are the largest provider of scale in the United States to possess both nationwide consumer credit data and comprehensive, diverse public records data, which allows us to better predict behaviors, assess risk and address a broader set of business issues for our customers.

***Innovative and Differentiated Solutions***

We consistently focus on innovation to develop new and enhanced solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We believe our specialized data, analytics, and solutions, our collaborative approach with our customers, and our ability to serve the needs of different buyers across nearly all industries differentiates us from our competitors. Our solutions are often scalable across different customers, geographies and verticals. Several examples of our innovative and differentiated solutions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***TruVision:*** Risk management products that more precisely balance risk and opportunity to identify and manage customer risk across the account lifecycle. This solution line includes all TransUnion risk products, including those formerly known as CreditVision, CVLink and DriverRisk. This line also includes insurance risk products, risk products for tenant and employment, and more. We continue to enhance our credit data by including new data fields, enriching values in existing data fields and expanding account history. Our enhanced credit data has been combined with hundreds of algorithms to produce TruVision Trended and TruVision Blended, the market-leading trended data and alternative data solutions that provide greater granularity and evaluate consumer behavior patterns over time. This results in a more predictive view of the consumer, increases the total population of consumers who can effectively be scored, and helps consumers gain improved access to services and better pricing. We have also completed development of POS and BNPL credit reporting solutions, delivering reporting capabilities and operational guidance, expanding attributes for future adoption, and continuing collaboration with regulators and industry partners to drive standards and innovation. We continue to focus on driving TruVision penetration globally with a distinct opportunity for growth internationally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***TruIQ:*** Advanced analytics products provide custom insights to help our customers make better data-driven decisions faster through consulting services and technology solutions.

Trusted Call Solutions, our flagship product suite, enables customers to transform the call experience to improve engagement, ensure legitimate calls get through and protect customers against fraud by enabling enterprises to manage their brand identity and business information displayed to consumers.

***Technology Infrastructure***

We continue to evolve our infrastructure and our capabilities to efficiently meet the needs of our customers and have expanded and evolved our enterprise approach to technology and have made strides in shifting our infrastructure to a hybrid, multi-cloud environment. Our technology infrastructure allows us to continually improve our overall services to global businesses and consumers, while also increasing throughput, improving data matching, creating efficiencies, enhancing information security and lowering operating costs. Our technology gives us the ability to process, organize and analyze high volumes of data across multiple operating systems, databases and file types as well as to deal with both structured and unstructured data that changes frequently. We process billions of transactions on a daily basis. Because our data matching technology is able to interrelate data across disparate sources, industries and time periods, we believe that we are able to create differentiated data assets and provide our customers with comprehensive insights that allow them to better evaluate risk.

In February 2020, we announced Project Rise, a multi-phase initiative to fundamentally transform our technology infrastructure by implementing a global cloud-based approach. In November 2023, we announced our plans to leverage Neustar's technology to standardize and streamline our product delivery platforms and build a single global platform for fulfillment of our product lines.

*<u>OneDev - Hybrid Public-Private Multi Cloud Infrastructure</u>*

Using the foundations of Neustar's OneID platform, and cloud infrastructure from both Neustar and Project Rise, this architecture has consolidated platforms acquired through past business acquisitions to unlock additional value from these assets.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We are also reducing the number of applications that we built over the last decade of expansion and acquisitions, allowing for an enhanced security posture to meet all of our regulatory demands. By creating a single infrastructure operating system across on-premise private cloud and public cloud providers, we have created a single control plane that allows us to optimize our data center posture. This will allow us to drive operational efficiency through services rationalization to provide a consistent and standardized set of global services and capabilities across our technology landscape, creating capacity for product innovation. OneDev is our infrastructure layer beneath our solutions enablement platform, OneTru, ensuring technology is delivered securely and efficiently across complex environments. It delivers an improved developer experience through a unified operational control plane and self-service in the public and private clouds, and provides a greater foundation for teams to manage their operational, security and financial risks.

*<u>OneTru - Solutions Enablement Platform</u>*

OneTru, our solutions enablement platform, enables us to efficiently activate our assets and unlock value in a single, multilayered ecosystem. OneTru helps TransUnion create a unified approach that makes rapid innovation possible by enabling three key outcomes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Concentration of our expertise, allowing us to accelerate product development and deployment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Improvement of scale and reusability by better utilizing our configurable computing power and eliminating data exchange across platforms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased efficiencies and reduction of total cost by bringing together disparate data and product platforms.

It also allows us to deliver a more accurate picture of consumers faster than ever before. That means more accurate identity resolution, complete and contextualized insights, and compliant use of data, all delivered through our portfolio of business and consumer products via a single implementation.

OneTru has become our centralized innovation hub. The platform standardizes key steps in transforming raw data into actionable intelligence, allowing our product specialists to focus on the last mile of customization needed to build innovative new products.

Key processes that OneTru is standardizing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the data management layer, OneTru integrates our data assets in credit risk, marketing and fraud prevention into a unified environment. We embed compliance controls to separate our credit and non-credit data, with strong permissioning, providing data scientists with rapid access to our stores of proprietary and public data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the identity layer, our identity graphs link and match our offline and online data together for a consistent view of consumer identity, helping customers to reliably resolve identities across product lines and workflows. By participating in client workflow, we also receive a consistent feedback loop to strengthen our identity signal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the analytics layer, we are utilizing common, next generation analytic tools both internally and to solve specific customer challenges. As new capabilities emerge – including evolving tools like AI – OneTru will allow us to deploy those capabilities rapidly and at scale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Finally, at the delivery layer, we are emphasizing consistent and more seamless delivery to our customers, providing easier upgrade, cross-sell and upsell cycles.

OneTru powers several of our solutions, including our integrated identity graphs, innovation labs and internal analytics environments, and new products like TruIQ Advanced Acquisition, TDE and TruValidate Integrated Solutions. We have made significant progress down a two-year path to migrate, refine and scale the platform. Over the course of 2024, we also modernized FactorTrust, our short-term lending credit bureau, to OneTru. The FactorTrust modernization serves as an end-to-end example of how OneTru can bolster our credit bureau capabilities across batch, online and analytics. In 2025, we substantially completed building the internal capabilities required to modernize our U.S. credit business and started migrating our first customers to OneTru, enabling our clients to experience faster processing and streamlined access to newer innovations, such as our TruIQ analytics suite. In 2026, we intend to complete the U.S credit business migration and start delivering OneTru capabilities in International markets.

We will continue to refine and evolve OneTru capabilities in 2026 and beyond with embedded AI, real-time processing, integrated decisioning and modular-based configurable components across the data analytics life cycle to provide scalability and flexible deployment options for our customers.

***Deep and Specialized Industry Expertise***

We have deep expertise in a number of attractive industry verticals including Financial Services and Insurance. Our expertise has allowed us to develop sophisticated solutions that play an integral role in our customers' decision-making processes and are often embedded into their workflows. Our team includes industry experts with significant experience in the verticals that we target and relationships with leading companies in those verticals. We also have regulatory compliance expertise across the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

industries that we serve. Together, this expertise provides us with a comprehensive understanding of business trends and insights for customers in these verticals, allowing us to build solutions that cater to these customers' specific requirements. We have been able to apply our industry knowledge, data assets, technology and analytics capabilities to develop new solutions and revenue opportunities within key verticals. For example, in Financial Services, our differentiated position allowed us to anticipate the increased demand from alternative consumer lending providers, including the prevalence of POS/BNPL lending, to create solutions that cater to these emerging providers. In Insurance, we partnered with a vehicle history data provider to launch a vehicle history score that helps insurance carriers further segment risk based on the attributes of a specific automobile.

***Leading Presence in Attractive International Markets***

We have been operating internationally for over 30 years and have strong global brand recognition. Our strategic focus on attractive international markets spans both developed and emerging economies, resulting in a diversified global presence. We have a significant footprint in Canada, Latin America, the U.K., Africa, India and the Asia Pacific region. Our local senior management teams provide deep market insights and foster strong customer relationships. We have leveraged our brand, operating history, global footprint and technology infrastructure to establish new credit bureaus in several international markets, such as Canada in 1989, India in 2001 and the Philippines in 2011, and in 2024, we launched our credit bureau in Brazil. Once we establish a foothold in a region, our model involves expanding our service offerings within these markets and moving into adjacent emerging markets. For example, we have used our operations in Hong Kong to expand into other countries in the Asia Pacific region and to provide analytic scoring models in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. We have used our operations in South Africa to expand into neighboring African countries. We have also entered new markets through strategic acquisitions, including Brazil in 2011, Colombia in 2016, and the U.K. in 2018, and expect to expand our presence in Mexico following the consummation of our pending acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Trans Union de Mexico.

***Proven and Experienced Management Team***

Our senior management team has a proven track record of strong performance and significant expertise in the markets we serve, with decades of industry experience. We continue to attract and retain experienced management talent for our businesses. Our team has deep knowledge of the data and analytics sector and expertise across the various industries that we serve. Our team has overseen our expansion into new industries and geographies, while managing ongoing strategic initiatives including our significant technology investments and acquisition integrations. As a result of the sustained focus of our management team, we have been successful in consistently driving revenue and earnings growth, both organically and through acquiring and integrating businesses.

**Our Growth Strategy** 

***Enhance Underlying Data, Technology and Analytics Capabilities to Develop Innovative Solutions***

As the demand for data and analytics solutions grows across industries and geographies, we will continue to expand the scope of our underlying data, including consumer identity, improve our tools and technology and enhance our analytics and technology solutions capabilities to provide innovative solutions that address this demand. With our insights and information, our customers can explore connections between people, businesses, assets and locations; identify assets, uncover inconsistencies and identify misrepresentations; and uncover evidence of financial distress.

With the unification of systems into OneTru, our solutions enablement platform, we continue to help our customers meet their challenges more quickly and efficiently. We are also continuing to explore the use of ML, AI and deep learning in our data and analytics strategies.

Our continuous technology investments have also reduced the time to market for new solutions, accelerating the pace of innovation and allowing us to react quickly to customer requirements. In addition, these investments have improved and, we believe, will continue to improve efficiency, reliability, security and performance. One of our innovative, quickly enabled customer solutions is TDE, discussed further above, which enables customers to securely leverage TransUnion's data matching and identity linking technology in their own data infrastructure. TDE enables customers to compliantly link their sensitive first-party data to TransUnion's depersonalized consumer credit data and any additional third-party data to support a wide range of analytics use cases. This can all be done without requiring the customer's data to leave their environment, increasing speed to actionable insights in a privacy compliant manner.

***Further Penetrate Existing Industry Verticals with Current and New Solutions***

We are a leading provider of risk and information solutions in several industry verticals today, including Financial Services and within our Emerging Verticals, which consist of Insurance, Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, Telecommunications, Media, Tenant & Employment Screening, Collections, and Public Sector. We believe there is significant opportunity for further growth within these industries by expanding the number of customers to whom we sell our current solutions and by creating innovative new solutions that we can use to grow our presence in these industries. We focus on developing new solutions that address evolving customer needs within our industry verticals. For example, we continue to combine related point solutions into end-to-end product suites to enable deeper penetration into customer workflows and improve retention. In order to effectively address these opportunities, we have redeployed and reallocated our sales resources to focus either on new customer opportunities or on selling additional services and solutions to existing customers. In addition, we continue to selectively increase our number of specialized sellers with deep industry expertise. With our leading market positions, existing strong relationships across our verticals and with our consumer partners, we believe we can further penetrate our existing customer base and capture a higher proportion of their spending across the consumer lifecycle.

***Extend Into New, Adjacent Industry Verticals***

In addition to increasing penetration in industries where we have a substantial presence, we continue to extend our solutions to address customer needs across a variety of attractive industries. We believe that our capabilities allow us to quickly create and deliver solutions across industries and geographies, thereby driving scalable growth based upon our foundational information and analytics. We continue to target other verticals where we see opportunities to leverage our existing capabilities, including those acquired and expanded through our recent acquisitions, as discussed below.

***Extend Further Into Fraud, Marketing and Identity Solutions***

From our heritage in the credit risk space, we have expanded into adjacent solution areas that can leverage our data assets and competencies, most notably fraud, marketing, and identity. These solutions have wide applicability across the customers that we serve. We have expanded these capabilities over the past several years through various acquisitions to build out our Media vertical and broaden the scope of our fraud and marketing solutions. Both fraud and marketing are critical to our expansion and diversification internationally and we have seen growth in fraud over the last few years in multiple markets.

***Expand Our Presence in Attractive International Markets***

We believe international markets present a significant opportunity for growth. We have significant scale in some of the world's fastest growing markets, such as India and Latin America, which positions us to take advantage of the favorable dynamics in these regions as their populations become more credit active. We develop scalable solutions and then localize and deploy them to targeted markets to meet each market's specific requirements. For example, after launching CreditVision in the U.S., we have expanded our offerings with similar solutions globally. In markets where we have established a presence, we are expanding further into adjacent verticals, such as Insurance and Consumer Interactive, as well as complementary solutions, such as marketing and fraud. We intend to continue to expand into new geographic markets by forming alliances with financial services institutions, industry associations and other local partners, and by pursuing strategic acquisitions. Across all our international expansion initiatives, we will continue to leverage our technology infrastructure to drive speed to market, scale and differentiation.

***Broaden Our Reach in Consumer Market through Direct and Indirect Channels***

Our consumer business focuses on helping consumers shape their financial future and protect their identity, delivering innovative solutions to consumers both directly and indirectly through a collaborative partnership model that has expanded the market for these services, along with greater consumer awareness of the value of their credit information and increased risk of identity theft. With our acquisition of Sontiq, we added to our foundational credit monitoring solutions with a comprehensive set of identity protection offerings. In 2025, we launched a new direct-to-consumer product with free and paid tiers designed to expand our presence in the consumer market and deliver more comprehensive services across a wider range of customer needs. Across both channels, our focus is on delivering value-added solutions and features while continuing to improve the consumer experience with more user-friendly interfaces and better customer service and educational tools. Within our indirect channel, we will continue to leverage and enhance our flexible technology platform to expand our relationships with existing partners and develop relationships with new partners and enter new verticals. We believe that partnerships not only enable us to grow our own business, but also expand the overall market and provide us access to new consumer segments. We will also continue to leverage our approach in the U.S. consumer market to further expand our consumer operations globally.

***Pursue and Integrate Strategic Acquisitions***

We have a strong track record of identifying and integrating our acquisitions and driving long-term value creation, and we will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to pursuing acquisitions.

On January 15, 2025, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire majority ownership of Trans Union de Mexico. We currently own approximately 26% of Trans Union de Mexico, and have agreed to acquire an additional 68% from selling shareholders,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

including several of the largest banks operating in Mexico. After the transaction closes, which we expect will be in the first quarter of 2026, we intend to leverage our global operating model to strengthen Trans Union de Mexico's services in the Mexican market, including additional efforts to enhance technology, operations and information security. Mexico will also be added to our long-term roadmap to align our global technology under our OneTru solutions enablement platform.

On April 1, 2025, we exercised our call option to acquire the remaining 70% of the outstanding equity of Monevo Limited ("Monevo"). Our initial investment for 30% equity interest of Monevo was made in October 2021. Monevo is a credit prequalification and distribution platform that empowers lenders to deliver highly personalized credit offers to consumers via comparison websites and other third parties, predominantly in the U.K. and U.S. markets.

On December 31, 2025, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire the mobile division of RealNetworks LLC ("RealNetworks"). After the transaction closes, this acquisition is expected to augment our capabilities with advanced AI and ML technologies and real-time analytics of text, multi-media messages and phone calls.

Through our acquisitions, we have significantly broadened our geographic footprint, increased the breadth and depth of our data assets, enhanced our services and deepened our industry expertise in our key verticals.

In addition to our acquisitions, we have also made several strategic minority investments over the years, which typically are accompanied by commercial agreements that allow us to develop, expand, and deepen relationships with innovative companies with promising technologies and capabilities. At times, our strategic investments have resulted in us acquiring controlling financial interests that we consolidate, including our initial investment in TransUnion CIBIL Limited ("CIBIL"), which is the core of our India region operations, our 2025 acquisition of Monevo and our previously announced pending acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Trans Union de Mexico.

**Segment Overview**

We manage our business and report our financial results in two reportable segments: U.S. Markets and International. We also report expenses for Corporate, which provides shared services and conducts enterprise functions. See Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 1, "Significant Accounting Polices" and Note 18, "Reportable Segments," for further information about our reportable segments.

***U.S. Markets***

Our U.S. Markets segment provides data, analytics and actionable insights to businesses and consumers. These businesses use our services to engage and acquire customers, assess consumer ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and mitigate fraud risk.

We deliver our solutions across multiple industry vertical markets and report disaggregated revenue as follows:

*Financial Services:* The Financial Services vertical consists of our Mortgage, Card and Banking, Consumer Lending, and Auto lines of business. Our Financial Services customers consist of most banks, credit unions, finance companies, auto lenders, mortgage lenders, FinTechs, and other consumer lenders in the United States. We also distribute our solutions through most major resellers, secondary market players and sales agents. Beyond traditional lenders, we work with a variety of credit arrangers, such as auto dealers and peer-to-peer lenders. We provide solutions across every aspect of the lending lifecycle; customer acquisition and engagement, fraud and ID management, retention and recovery. Our core products are focused on mitigating risk and include credit reporting, credit marketing, analytics and consulting, identity verification, and authentication and debt recovery solutions.

*Emerging Verticals:* Emerging Verticals include Insurance, Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, Telecommunications, Media, Tenant & Employment Screening, Collections, and Public Sector. Our solutions in these verticals are also data-driven and address the entire customer lifecycle. We offer onboarding and transaction processing products, scoring and analytic products, marketing solutions, fraud and identity management solutions and customer retention solutions, as well select market-specific solutions in Insurance and Telecommunications.

***International***

The International segment provides services similar to our U.S. Markets segment to businesses in select regions outside the United States. Depending on the maturity of the credit economy in each country, services may include credit reports, analytics and technology solutions services and other value-added risk management services. In addition, we have insurance, business and automotive databases in select geographies. These services are offered to customers in a number of industries including financial services, insurance, automotive, collections, public sector, gaming, and communications, and are delivered through both direct and indirect channels. The International segment also provides consumer solutions similar to those offered by our Consumer Interactive vertical in our U.S. Markets segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft. We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions:

*Canada*: We have operated in Canada since 1989 and are one of only two nationwide consumer reporting agencies in the Canadian market. We operate across multiple verticals in Canada with leading positions in financial services, insurance and consumer interactive and a strong and growing presence in emerging verticals like FinTech and telecom. Our Canadian customer base encompasses some of the largest companies in their verticals, including a majority of the top banks, credit card issuers, insurance companies and auto manufacturer lenders.

*Latin America:* We have been active in Latin America since 1985 when we entered the Puerto Rican market, and now operate in numerous Central and South American countries, including a strong presence in two major markets - Colombia and Brazil. We also have significant credit bureau businesses in the Dominican Republic and Chile, and have approximately a 26% ownership interest in Trans Union de México, which will increase to 94% upon the closing of our pending acquisition. In Guatemala, we maintain a centralized database that services Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

*U.K.:* In June 2018, we entered the world's second largest credit market, the U.K., when we acquired Callcredit, the second largest consumer credit bureau in the U.K. Our U.K. business provides data, analytics and technology solutions to help businesses and consumers make informed decisions across a diverse group of industries and serves a broad set of customers including leading financial institutions and customers in other attractive, high-growth industries such as gaming, which serves online sports betting customers by offering identification and fraud and affordability solutions, FinTech and consumer interactive solutions consistent with those offered by our Consumer Interactive vertical within the U.S. Markets segment.

*Africa:* We launched our operations in Africa by entering South Africa in 1993 and have since expanded into many surrounding countries. We are highly diversified and serve a variety of industries through traditional consumer credit reporting services, insurance solutions, auto information solutions, and commercial credit information services. We provide risk and information solutions in Africa to many of the leading banks, retailers, auto dealer groups, and insurance companies.

*India:* In 2001, we partnered with prominent Indian financial institutions to create CIBIL, the first consumer and business credit reporting agency in India. We have since launched the country's first generic credit score, which is the most widely used credit score across the financial services industry in India. In the absence of a comprehensive national ID, we created an innovative matching algorithm that allowed us to create the most extensive consumer credit database in India. We also own or have access to several non-credit data sources that we use to enhance our solutions, including the national voters' registry, the confirmed and suspected fraud registry, property registry and tax ID database. We offer a suite of risk and information solutions across the credit lifecycle for banks, telecommunication companies and insurance companies, as well as consumer solutions such as online credit reports and scores.

*Asia Pacific:* Our operations in Asia Pacific include markets such as Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. Asia Pacific is a growing market with increasing demand for credit driven by a rising middle class that offers significant growth potential in analytics and technology solutions. We do business with many of the top financial institutions in the countries we serve. We have had a majority ownership interest in the principal consumer credit reporting company in Hong Kong since 1998. In partnership with leading credit card issuers in the Philippines, we launched the first consumer credit reporting agency in that market in 2011. We have also built credit risk scores for the National Credit Bureau of Thailand, in which we have a 12.25% ownership interest, the Credit Bureau of Singapore and the Credit Bureau of Malaysia. Our acquisitions of Argus and Neustar provided us an opportunity to grow our business footprint in the region.

***Corporate***

Corporate provides support services to each segment, holds investments and conducts enterprise functions. Certain costs incurred in Corporate that are not directly attributable to either of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

**Markets and Customers**

We have a highly diversified customer base that includes companies across multiple industries, including Financial Services and Insurance. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from companies in the financial services industry and from sales in the United States.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We leverage our comprehensive data assets, industry expertise and our technology infrastructure, allowing us to build solutions once and deploy them multiple times across the different verticals and regions. Our evolution to a hybrid public-private cloud infrastructure augments this capability. We provide services to our customers through real-time, online delivery for services such as credit reports and predictive scores, in batch form for services that help our customers proactively acquire new customers, cross-sell to existing customers and help them monitor and manage risk, and through our software-as-a-service offerings, which include a number of solutions that help businesses interpret data, maximize reimbursements, visualize insights, predict model results and apply their customer-specific criteria to facilitate real-time automated decisions at the time of customer interaction, and through our websites to consumers, for various subscription-based and transaction-based products in the United States and in other regions we serve.

We market our services globally, primarily through our own sales force. We have dedicated sales teams for our largest customers focused by industry group and geography. These dedicated sales teams provide strategic account management and direct support to customers. We use shared sales teams to sell our services to mid-size customers. Smaller customers' sales needs are serviced primarily through call centers. We also market our services through indirect channels such as resellers, who sell directly to businesses and consumers. Our interactive direct-to-consumer services are sold primarily through our website.

**Seasonality**

Seasonality in the U.S. Markets segment is correlated to volumes of online credit data purchased by our financial services and mortgage customers, and our sales have generally been higher during the second and third quarters. Seasonality in our International segment is driven by local economic conditions and relevant macroeconomic market trends.

**Competition**

The market for our services is highly competitive. We compete primarily on the basis of differentiated solutions, data assets, analytics capabilities, ease of integration with our customers' technology, stability of services, customer relationships, innovation and price. We believe that we compete favorably in each of these categories. Our competitors vary based on the business segment, industry vertical and geographical market that our solutions address.

In our U.S. Markets segment, our competition generally includes Equifax, Experian and LexisNexis, in addition to certain competitors with whom we only compete in specific industry verticals. For example, we compete with FICO in the Financial Services vertical, with Verisk Analytics, Inc. in the Insurance vertical, and with LiveRamp and Experian in the marketing solutions space. We also compete with LifeLock as well as personal finance websites in the Consumer Interactive vertical, some of whom offer free credit information.

In our International segment, we generally compete with Equifax and Experian directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries or investments. We also compete with other companies that may focus on a particular vertical, country or region.

In addition to these competitors, we also compete with a number of other companies that may offer niche solutions catering to more specific customer requirements.

We believe the services we provide to our customers reflect our understanding of our customers' businesses, the depth and breadth of our data and the quality of our analytics and technology solutions capabilities. By integrating our services into our customers' workflows, we ensure efficiency, continuous improvement and long-lasting relationships.

**Information Technology**

***Technology***

The continuous operation of our information technology systems is fundamental to our business. Our information technology systems collect, refine, access, process, deliver and store the data that is used to provide our solutions. Our technology is at the core of our innovative solutions, and we continually invest in our technology and thought leaders to be a market leader. There are four critical elements to our global technology enablement strategy:

*Hardware + Cloud:* Our technology infrastructure gives us the ability to organize and handle high volumes of disparate data, maintain and improve our delivery speeds, increase availability and enhance our product development capabilities, while at the same time lowering our overall cost structure. Since November 2023, we have been investing in our technology to standardize and streamline our product delivery platforms and build a single global solutions enablement platform, OneTru, for fulfillment of our product lines. OneTru is already powering several solutions in the U.S. business and we plan to roll out OneTru capabilities in International markets starting in 2026.

Our environment is built upon strategic partnerships. Our technology relies on several third-party solutions as well as proprietary software and tools which we integrate into our platforms. Our control of our technology and infrastructure allows us to prioritize any changes and manage the roll-out of any upgrades or changes. We contract with various third-party providers to help us maintain and support our systems.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

*Software:* Our market-facing solutions are designed for global deployment, such as our Brazil bureau, our first cloud-native credit bureau where we deploy best in class components. Our software is built on a common set of components, tools and practices. With the ongoing migration to OneTru, our software applications will also be deployed on the same software operating platform.

*Operating Model:* We have established a core set of global operating principles built on common practices, community, tools and training. We have established technology Centers-of-Excellence that utilize similar tools and technology in order to provide scale and efficiency in modifying existing applications and developing new applications for our businesses. We deploy new development methodologies globally to enable rapid delivery of solutions and increase our speed-to-market. Our technology team includes both our own employees as well as additional resources from third-party providers. We hire top talent from global hubs, like India, where we are expanding our resources at all levels, including senior and executive leadership.

*Digital Associate Experience:* We are also investing in our digital employee experience. We believe that to attract and retain talent we need to ensure an efficient and productive environment. We conducted a thorough needs analysis of our employees to ensure that our platforms are enabling the most effective work environment, facilitating productivity and the hybrid workspace, and providing a world-class technology foundation that enables our employees to innovate.

***Data Centers and Business Continuity***

In order to create redundancy and increase resiliency, we utilize a hybrid public-private cloud infrastructure in all of our major markets. We generally employ similar technologies and infrastructures at backup sites to enable the optimal sharing of technical resources across geographies.

We maintain a governance framework for business continuity that includes a written policy and procedures requiring each business unit to identify and prepare continuity plans for critical functions. Our business units have procedures in place that are designed to maintain such processes in the event of a disruption. We also have specific disaster recovery plans that will take effect if critical infrastructure or systems fail or become disabled.

As part of our business continuity program, each business unit's continuity plan is updated annually and stored in a centralized database. These plans are monitored and reviewed by our compliance team and tested annually using exercise scenarios in response to actual events. We also periodically confirm the state of preparedness of our most critical disaster recovery procedures. We maintain systems redundancy plans for our primary U.S. data centers that allow for the transfer of capacity between geographically disbursed environments in the event there is a failure of computer hardware or a loss of our primary telecommunications lines or power sources. On an enterprise basis, our systems are designed to recover most of our operational capacity in a scenario where our primary data centers become inoperable.

***Security***

The security and protection of personal data is our highest priority. Our written information security program focuses on managing risk and is guided by global information security regulations and standards, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS (as defined below), HIPAA (as defined below), and other international regulatory requirements in locations where we operate. Our information security program follows a risk-based approach that continuously evaluates threats, industry events and asset values to introduce enhancements when necessary. We deploy a wide range of physical and technical safeguards that are intended to provide security around the collection, storage, use, access and delivery of information we have in our possession or with our partners. These safeguards include firewalls, intrusion protection and monitoring, anti-virus and malware protection, vulnerability threat analysis, control validation, advanced persistent threat monitoring, forensic tools, encryption technologies, data transmission standards, contractual provisions, customer and partner credentialing, identity and access management, data loss prevention, access and anomaly reports and training programs for associates. We, along with other global financial services organizations, including U.S. nationwide consumer credit reporting companies, share cyber threat and attack information that may be targeted at our industry through our participation in forums such as the Financial Information Sharing and Analysis Council. These forums allow us to better understand and monitor our systems and our connectivity to our customers and partners, as well as how specific solutions that were implemented to protect against such attacks are performing. We undergo SSAE 18 and SOC2 reviews annually, and many of our major customers routinely audit our security controls. We conduct an annual Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ("PCI-DSS") compliance program and remain PCI-DSS certified for environments that have cardholder data. We regularly engage independent third-party organizations to evaluate our security program to conduct independent security assessments. See Part I, Item 1C, "Cybersecurity" for additional information.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

**Intellectual Property and Licensing Agreements**

Our intellectual property is a strategic advantage and protecting it is critical to our business. Because of the importance of our intellectual property, we treat our brand, software, technology, know-how, concepts and databases as proprietary. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights under the trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property laws of the U.S. and other countries, as well as through the use of licenses and contractual agreements, such as nondisclosure agreements. While we hold various patents, we do not rely primarily on patents to protect our core intellectual property. Through contractual arrangements, disclosure controls and continual associate training programs, our principal focus is to treat our key proprietary information and databases as trade secrets. Also, we have registered certain trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, internet URLs and other marks of distinction in the United States and foreign countries, the most important of which is the trademark TransUnion name and logo. This trademark is used in connection with most of the services we sell and we believe it is a known mark in the industry.

We own proprietary software that we use to maintain our databases and to develop and deliver our services. We develop and maintain business-critical software that transforms data furnished by various sources into databases upon which our services are built. We also develop and maintain software to manage our consumer interactions, including providing disclosures and resolving disputes. In all business segments, we develop and maintain software applications that we use to deliver services to our customers, through a software-as-a-service model. In particular, we develop and maintain analytics and technology solutions infrastructure that we host and make available for our customers to develop and deploy analytics to improve business performance.

We license certain data and other intellectual property to other companies on arms-length terms that are designed to protect our rights to our intellectual property. We generally use standard licensing agreements and do not provide our intellectual property to third parties without a nondisclosure and license agreement in place.

We also license certain intellectual property that is important for our business from third parties. For example, we license credit-scoring algorithms and the right to sell credit scores derived from those algorithms from third parties for a fee.

**Legal and Regulatory Matters**

Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements is a top priority. We are subject to numerous laws governing the collection, protection, dissemination and use of non-public personal information, credit information and other types of information. These laws are enforced by U.S. federal, state and local regulatory agencies, foreign regulatory authorities and, in some instances, through private civil litigation. Our failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations, reputation and overall operations.

We proactively manage our compliance with laws and regulations through a global legal, risk and compliance framework that is designed to ensure that enterprise standards are followed. Through the legal, risk and compliance functions, we provide training to our associates, monitor applicable and material laws and regulations, establish compliance policies, routinely review internal processes to determine whether business practice changes are warranted, assist in the development of new products and services, and regularly meet with principal regulators and legislators to ensure transparent engagement regarding our operations.

***U.S. Data and Privacy Protection***

Our U.S. operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing privacy, data security, consumer protection and the use of consumer credit and consumer report information. Some of these laws provide for civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized release of, or access to, this protected information. The laws and regulations that affect our U.S. business include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the* "*FCRA*"*):* The FCRA applies to consumer reporting agencies, including ours, as well as data furnishers and users of consumer reports. The FCRA promotes the accuracy, fairness and confidentiality of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies that engage in the practice of assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information relating to consumers for certain specified purposes. The FCRA limits what information may be reported by consumer reporting agencies, limits the distribution and use of consumer reports, establishes consumer rights to access and dispute their own credit files, includes additional credit protections and services to veterans and active-duty U.S. military consumers, includes provisions designed to prevent identity theft and assist fraud victims with placing free fraud alerts or national security freezes and assist victims of human trafficking, requires consumer reporting agencies to make a free annual credit report available to consumers, notify consumers of their rights under the FCRA and imposes many other requirements on consumer reporting agencies, data furnishers and users of consumer report information. Violation of the FCRA can result in civil and criminal penalties. Regulatory enforcement of the FCRA is under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") and state attorneys general, acting alone or in concert with one another. Many states have their own regulatory agencies and fair credit reporting laws, which may include more exacting requirements, if not preempted by the FCRA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act")*: The Dodd-Frank Act prohibits unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices ("UDAAP") with respect to consumer financial products or services and provides the CFPB with authority to enforce those provisions. Many states have enacted statutes and promulgated rules that prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices, relating to, among other things, marketing, disclosures, subscriptions and billing practices within the state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Federal Trade Commission Act (the "FTC Act"):* The FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices. We must comply with the FTC Act when we market certain products, such as consumer credit monitoring and identity protection services. Our data collection, use and disclosure practices and the security measures we employ to safeguard the personal data of consumers could also be subject to the FTC Act, and our data practices or our failure to safeguard data adequately may subject us to regulatory scrutiny or enforcement action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (the "GLBA")*: The GLBA regulates, among other things, the receipt, use and disclosure of non-public personal information of consumers held by or received from financial institutions. Several of our data assets are subject to GLBA provisions, including limitations on the use or disclosure of the underlying data and rules relating to the technological, physical and administrative safeguarding of non-public personal information. Violation of the GLBA can result in civil and criminal liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Drivers' Privacy Protection Act (the "DPPA")*: The DPPA requires all states to safeguard certain personal information included in licensed drivers' motor vehicle records from improper use or disclosure. The DPPA limits the use of this information sourced from U.S. state departments of motor vehicles to certain specified purposes and does not apply if a driver has consented to the release of their data. The DPPA imposes criminal fines for non-compliance and grants individuals a private right of action, including actual and punitive damages and attorneys' fees. The DPPA provides a federal baseline of protections for individuals, and is only partially preemptive, meaning that except in a few narrow circumstances, state legislatures may pass laws to supplement the protections made by the DPPA. Many states' laws are more restrictive than the federal law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Data security breach laws*: All states and some territories have adopted data security breach laws that may require notice be given to affected consumers in the event of a breach of personal information, and in some cases the provision of additional benefits such as free credit monitoring to affected individuals. Some of these laws require additional data protection measures over and above the GLBA data safeguarding requirements. If data within our system is compromised, we may be subject to provisions of various state security breach laws, including regulatory investigations or enforcement actions from state attorneys general, who enforce state data breach or unfair and deceptive practices laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The Credit Repair Organizations Act ("CROA")*: CROA regulates companies that claim to be able to assist consumers in improving their credit standing. Some courts have applied CROA to credit monitoring services offered by consumer reporting agencies and others. CROA allows for a private right of action and permits consumers to recover all money paid for alleged "credit repair" services in the event of violation.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("HIPAA") and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ("HITECH")*: HIPAA and HITECH require companies to implement reasonable safeguards to prevent intentional or unintentional misuse or wrongful disclosure of protected health information. We obtain protected health information under a "business associate" agreement that is subject to the privacy, security and transactional requirements imposed by HIPAA and HITECH. As a business associate, we are obligated to limit our use and disclosure of health-related data to certain statutorily permitted purposes, HIPAA regulations, as outlined in our business associate agreements, and to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of this data. HIPAA and HITECH also require, in certain circumstances, the reporting of breaches of protected health information to affected individuals and to the United States Department of Health and Human Services. A violation of any of the terms of a business associate agreement or noncompliance with HIPAA or HITECH data privacy or security requirements could result in administrative enforcement action and/or imposition of statutory penalties by the United States Department of Health and Human Services or a state attorney general. HIPAA and HITECH requirements supplement but do not preempt state laws regulating the use and disclosure of health-related information; state law remedies, which can include a private right of action, remain available to individuals affected by an impermissible use or disclosure of health-related data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Comprehensive State Privacy Laws:* Over a dozen states have enacted comprehensive privacy legislation, currently in effect, intended to provide consumers with greater transparency and control over their personal information by providing consumers in these states with certain rights regarding their personal information and by requiring businesses to make certain disclosures and take certain other acts in furtherance of those rights. These laws exempt practices and activities regulated by the FCRA, the GLBA, HIPAA and the DPPA, including our credit reporting business, but apply to other portions of our business that are not regulated by these laws. California, Colorado, and New Jersey have rulemaking authority, enabling them to build upon their laws. California also recently passed regulations going into effect on a rolling basis starting January 1, 2026, covering cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, automated decision-making technology, insurance companies and updates to existing California Consumer Privacy Act regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *State Consumer Health Data Privacy Law:* Washington's My Health My Data and similar laws in Nevada, Connecticut, and Virginia impose broad requirements on collecting, using, and selling consumer health information. These laws took effect in 2024 and 2025. New York and California passed laws relating to the use of precise location relating to healthcare facilities or family planning centers, respectively. New York's law went into effect in 2023, and California's law went into effect January 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Requirements for government contractors*: Special requirements may apply to TransUnion when providing services to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies. For example, and without limitation, TransUnion may need to abide by the Privacy Act of 1974, the Internal Revenue Service's Publication 4812, and various Federal Acquisition Regulation and associated supplemental contract clauses. Each of these laws, regulations and contract clauses dictates particular measures for the protection of personal information or information that is otherwise categorized as sensitive by the government. Government agencies frequently modify or supplement these requirements, and consequences for violations of applicable requirements may include penalties, civil liability and for severe infractions, criminal liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *State Data Broker Laws*: Four states — California, Oregon, Vermont, and Texas — have enacted state data broker registration laws. These laws regulate businesses that collect, sell, license, or transfer personal information about consumers with whom they have no direct relationship. These laws generally require such "data brokers" to register with a state agency, disclose their data practices, and in some states to maintain specific security measures. Notably, California's updated data broker law creates the most expansive regulatory framework in the country by requiring all registered data brokers to participate in a single state-run Deletion Request and Opt-Out Platform, enabling California residents to request deletion of their personal data from all data brokers through one unified mechanism. Similar data broker legislation is advancing in other states.

We are also subject to U.S. federal and state laws that are generally applicable to any U.S. business with national or international operations, such as antitrust laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, climate-related regulations and various employment laws. We continuously monitor U.S. federal and state legislative and regulatory activities that involve credit reporting, data privacy and security, and other relevant subjects to identify issues in order to remain in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

***International Data and Privacy Protection***

We are subject to data protection, privacy and consumer credit laws and regulations in other jurisdictions where we conduct business. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Canada:* The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of 2000 ("PIPEDA") and substantially similar provincial laws govern how private sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. The PIPEDA gives individuals the right to access and request correction of their

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

personal information collected by such organizations. The PIPEDA requires compliance with the Canadian Standard Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. Most Canadian provinces also have laws dealing with consumer reporting. These laws typically impose an obligation on credit reporting agencies to have reasonable processes in place to maintain the accuracy of the information, place limits on the disclosure of the information and give consumers the right to have access to, and challenge the accuracy of, the information. Quebec's privacy law, which went into effect over the course of 2023 and 2024, made a number of notable changes to the province's privacy laws, most notably increasing requirements on organizations seeking to transfer personal information outside of Quebec.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Colombia*: The Colombian Financial Data Protection Regime (Law 1266 of 2008) regulates the collection, use and transfer of personal data pertaining to financial services, including credit reporting. The Colombian General Data Protection Regime (Law 1581 of 2012 and Decree 1377 of 2013) covers regulation of all other personal data. Both of these regimes have applicability to credit reporting services in Colombia and together address obligations of information furnishers, database owners, consumer right of access, consumer consent and permitted information disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *European Union ("EU")*: Our data management activities and the commercial solutions we make available to the European market are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). This law establishes significant data protection and privacy standards that empower European Union consumers to exercise significant control over their personal data. In addition to a litany of substantive provisions empowering consumers to limit how data may be used, GDPR also imposes operational, data processing, and other technical requirements with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any provision of GDPR could result in significant regulatory or other enforcement penalties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *U.K.*: Our U.K. operations are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the "UK GDPR"), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation (the "PECR"), which together govern the processing of personal data pertaining to U.K. citizens. Enforcement of data regulation and consumer privacy matters in the U.K. resides with the Information Commissioner's Office, an independent body set up to uphold the rights of individuals in relation to the use of their personal data. The provision of credit referencing services in the U.K. is also a regulated activity that is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Under the Financial Conduct Authority's Open Banking policy, consumers can share transaction data with third parties via APIs to identify best products and take up multi-bank products. As part of Open Banking, the Second Payment Services Directive allows merchants to retrieve a customer's account data from their bank with their consent. The implementation of Open Banking platforms has increased the number of payment service providers available to consumers beyond traditional banks. TransUnion U.K. is an authorized information services provider under this regime.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *South Africa*: The National Credit Act of 2005 (the "NCA") and its implementing regulations govern credit bureaus and consumer credit information. The NCA sets standards for filing, retaining and reporting consumer credit information. The NCA also defines consumers' rights with respect to accessing their own information and addresses the process for disputing information in a credit file. The NCA is enforced by The National Credit Regulator who has authority to supervise and examine credit bureaus. In addition, the Protection of Personal Information Act ("POPIA") regulates the processing of personal information of legal and juristic persons, and imposes compliance obligations and sanctions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *India*: The Credit Information Companies Regulation Act of 2005 requires entities that collect and maintain personal credit information to ensure that it is complete, accurate and protected. Entities must adopt certain privacy principles in relation to collecting, processing, preserving, sharing and using credit information. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act was passed by the Indian Parliament in 2023. The implementing rules (the "DPDPA Rules") were issued in November 2025 and are subject to an 18-month phased implementation. The DPDPA Rules protect individual rights related to digital data, mandating mechanisms for accessing, correcting and erasing data, redressing grievances and appointing a consent manager. The DPDPA Rules require "Data Fiduciaries", such as CIBIL, to provide notices of data processing, define purpose-based retention timelines, implement reasonable security safeguards, provide breach notification within 72 hours and obtain verifiable parental consent prior to processing child data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Hong Kong*: Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance ("PDPO") and The Code of Practice on Consumer Credit Data regulate the operation of consumer credit reference agencies. They prescribe the methods and security controls under which credit providers and credit reference agencies may collect, access and manage credit data. The PDPO was amended in 2021 to provide new powers to the Privacy Commissioner and to make criminal the act of publicly releasing information identifying an individual or organization – a practice known as "doxxing."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Brazil*: The Brazilian General Data Protection Law ("LGPD") regulates the processing of personal information and imposes compliance obligations and sanctions comparable to those of GDPR.

***Artificial Intelligence Regulatory Framework***

We use AI, ML, and automated decision-making technologies, including proprietary AI and ML algorithms and models (collectively, "AI Technologies") for both internal business and in certain product offerings, and are therefore subject to a comprehensive set of laws and regulations governing the use and development of such technologies. These laws and regulations are rapidly evolving as many states and jurisdictions introduce new laws to ensure that AI is deployed responsibly. As we continue to enhance our capabilities, these laws and regulations impose additional compliance burdens on and guide our efforts to integrate AI Technologies into our business processes. The laws and regulations that affect our AI Technologies include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *U.S. Federal Artificial Intelligence Executive Orders*: Executive Order 14365 ("Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence") was signed in December 2025, taking multiple actions to discourage states from enacting and enforcing state AI regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *State AI Legislation*: As of January 31, 2026, 46 states have passed at least one law relating to AI Technologies. The Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, which will take effect on June 30, 2026, will establish a comprehensive governance framework for high-risk AI systems, imposing requirements related to transparency, algorithmic discrimination, AI risk assessments, and adverse decisions. Texas's Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act ("TRAIGA") prohibits manipulative, unconstitutional, and discriminatory practices with respect to AI Technologies. Utah, California, Colorado, and Maine passed laws requiring companies to make certain generative AI and chatbot disclosures. Additionally, certain states have laws governing frontier AI models, deepfakes, deception, legal personhood, automated employment decision tools, insurance, healthcare, and companion chatbots.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *EU Artificial Intelligence Act ("EU AI Act")*: The EU AI Act establishes a comprehensive governance framework for AI within the European Union and applies to companies that develop, use, and/or provide AI in the EU, imposing requirements related to transparency, conformity assessments, risk management, human oversight, and security. The majority of the substantive requirements will apply beginning in August 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Intellectual Property Laws*: The protection of intellectual property, particularly in the context of AI and ML, is governed by a complex and evolving set of laws. These laws address issues such as patent rights for AI algorithms and the protection of proprietary technologies. Jurisdictions worldwide are grappling with how to apply traditional intellectual property laws to AI innovations, leading to ongoing discussions and litigation.

*Other International Laws*

Credit information and credit information companies have also become subject to, directly or indirectly, further governance regulations, such as those historically reserved for banks. We are also subject to various laws and regulations generally applicable to all businesses in the other countries where we operate.

***Sustainability***

We are dedicated to making meaningful, positive contributions to the world and the communities we serve. We are making an impact through our commitments to enabling life-changing access to credit in mature and emerging markets, and using trended data to help consumers improve their access to credit while doing good for people and the planet.

We focus our sustainability efforts on issues that we believe are important to our business and to our key stakeholders and conduct assessments from time-to-time to help us identify and assess the relative importance of various topics to our business. We plan to report our current efforts in our upcoming 2025 Global Impact Report, which for the avoidance of doubt, is not incorporated herein by reference and should not be considered part of this report.

***Climate Change***

Climate change continues to be a key issue for companies worldwide. In 2021, we set two targets, to achieve operational net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions by 2025 and 30 percent reductions on leased real estate Scope 3 emissions by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. We achieved our 2025 goal through a combination of actual emission reductions, through the purchase of renewable energy (including market instruments such as renewable energy certifications), real estate consolidation and the use of carbon offsets to address certain residual GHG emissions. More information on our emissions calculations and associated methodology will be provided in our Global Impact Report (which for the avoidance of doubt is not incorporated herein by reference).

We define Scope 1 emissions as direct emissions from company operations. Currently, we consider our Scope 2 GHG emissions to be those indirect emissions from our owned (as distinct from our leased) properties and leased sites within our operational control as determined by an operational control survey. We consider leased sites where TransUnion has sufficient influence over facilities to impact energy consumption and/or sourcing, as determined by an internal survey we conducted, to generally fall within operational control. We currently consider Scope 3 GHG emissions within our Scope 3 climate target to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

include leased real estate, other than leased real estate within our operational control and captured in our Scope 2 GHG emissions, but our methodology may evolve in the future.

***Human Capital Management***

We employed approximately 13,500 employees as of December 31, 2025. Central to our long-term strategy is attracting, developing and retaining the best talent globally with the right skills to drive our success. Our Board receives regular updates on human capital topics such as employee retention, engagement and survey results, enterprise compliance, investigations and associate health and safety.

Other than certain employees in Brazil, none of our employees are currently represented by a labor union or have terms of employment that are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good and have not experienced any work stoppages.

We see our people as a source of strength and know that they are essential to our mission, innovation and growth. At TransUnion, we know that being able to draw from the largest feasible pools of talent helps us find the best people for our company's needs. We strive to cultivate an exceptional workplace culture of belonging, respect and accountability, where everyone feels empowered to succeed.

*Talent Acquisition and Retention*

Our talent acquisition and retention strategy is multi-faceted. We aim to recruit the most qualified candidates and strive for a varied and well-balanced workforce.

We reward and support employees through competitive pay, benefits, and perquisite programs that allow employees and their families to thrive. Our benefit offerings are designed to meet the various and evolving needs of our workforce tailored to the businesses and geographies in which we operate.

We continue to support our employees and their families, including by providing child and adult care benefits that provide access to onsite or community centers, enhanced back-up care choices that include personal caregivers, child care and adult referral assistance and child and adult care provider discounts. In addition, we offer on-demand tutoring along with a specialist who can consult, research and provide referral services for a host of services such as child and parenting needs (e.g., pregnancy, adoption, and special needs), senior care, pets, home services, education (including college), to name a few of the options provided to our employees. We also provide our employees with access to free mental and behavioral health resources, including on-demand access to the Employee Assistance Program for employees and their dependents. We continue to look for new ways to support our employees and their families.

*Employee Engagement, Training and Development*

We prioritize and invest in helping our employees grow and build their careers through several training and development programs. These include online, instructor-led and on-the-job learning formats as well as executive talent and succession planning paired with an individualized development approach.

*Safety and Wellness*

We take our efforts to maintain a safe work environment seriously, and the health and well-being of associates, customers and visitors remains a top priority. We continue to follow important health and safety guidelines, and implement effective practices to minimize workplace risks.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

You should carefully consider the following risks as well as the other information included in this report, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our financial statements and related notes. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, the selected risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

**Risk Factors Summary**

The following is a summary of the principal risks and uncertainties described in more detail in this report:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our revenues are concentrated in the U.S. financial services and consumer credit industries. When these industries or the broader financial markets experience a downturn, demand for our services and revenues may be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to significant competition in the markets in which we operate, and we may face significant competition in the new markets that we plan to enter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To the extent the availability of free or relatively inexpensive consumer information increases, the demand for some of our services may decrease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our relationships with key long-term customers may be materially diminished or terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to develop successful new services in a timely manner, or if the market does not adopt our new services, our ability to maintain or increase our revenue could be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If our outside service providers and key vendors are not able to or do not fulfill their service obligations, our operations could be disrupted and our operating results could be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There may be further consolidation in our end-customer markets, which may adversely affect our revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data security and integrity are critically important to our business, and cybersecurity incidents, including cyberattacks, breaches of security, unauthorized access to or disclosure of our intellectual property or confidential information, business disruption, or the perception that confidential information is not secure, could result in a material loss of business, regulatory enforcement, substantial legal liability and/or significant harm to our reputation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we experience system failures, personnel disruptions or capacity constraints, or our customers do not modify their systems to accept new releases of our distribution programs, the delivery of our services to our customers could be delayed or interrupted, which could harm our business and reputation and result in the loss of revenues or customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We could lose our access to data sources which could prevent us from providing our services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to maintain and improve our systems, our data matching technology, and our interfaces with data sources and customers, demand for our services could be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The CFPB has supervisory and examination authority over our business and may initiate enforcement actions with regard to our compliance with federal consumer financial laws. Actions by the CFPB or other regulators against us or our executives could result in increased operating costs, reputational harm, payment of damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief and/or restitution, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business is subject to various governmental regulations, laws and orders, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant expenses or reduce the availability or effectiveness of our solutions, and the failure to comply with which could subject us to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Regulatory oversight of our contractual relationships with certain of our customers may adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The outcome of litigation, inquiries, investigations, examinations or other legal proceedings in which we are involved, in which we may become involved, or in which our customers or competitors are involved could subject us to significant monetary damages or restrictions on our ability to do business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We currently use, and will continue to invest in the use of, AI Technologies, which use is subject to a continuously evolving regulatory landscape. The evolving regulatory landscape may impact our use of AI Technologies, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, which could result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to expand our operations in, and the portion of our revenue derived from, markets outside the United States is subject to economic, political and other inherent risks, which could adversely impact our growth rate and financial performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face geopolitical and other risks associated with our international operations, which could materially adversely impact our results of operations and our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may be unable to protect our intellectual property adequately or cost-effectively, which may cause us to lose market share or force us to reduce our prices. We also rely on trade secrets and other forms of unpatented intellectual property that may be difficult to protect.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may face claims for intellectual property infringement, which could subject us to monetary damages or limit us in using some of our technologies or providing certain services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When we engage in acquisitions, investments in new businesses or divestitures of existing businesses, we face risks that may adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend, in part, on strategic alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions to grow our business. If we are unable to make strategic acquisitions and develop and maintain these strategic alliances and joint ventures, our growth may be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have a substantial amount of debt which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the debt instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our stock price has recently been volatile, and may continue to be volatile and/or decline, regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business and operations are exposed to risks arising from developments and trends associated with climate change and other sustainability matters, including risks associated with our own reporting or other initiatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents might discourage, delay or prevent acquisition attempts for us that you might consider favorable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to pay cash dividends may be limited by the terms of our secured credit facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase program consistent with historical amounts or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Economic and other conditions may adversely impact the valuation of our assets resulting in impairment charges that could have a material adverse impact on our results from operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on our stock price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural disasters, pandemics, terrorist acts, war, actions by governments, and other geopolitical activities could disrupt our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to attract and retain the skilled employees that we need to support our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to losses from risks for which we do not insure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we experience changes in tax laws or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our tax returns, it could adversely affect our results of operations.

**Risks Related to Our Business**

***Our revenues are concentrated in the U.S. financial services and consumer credit industries. When these industries or the broader financial markets experience a downturn, demand for our services and revenues may be adversely affected.***

Our largest customers, and therefore our business and revenues, are influenced by macroeconomic conditions and are impacted by the availability of credit, the level and volatility of interest rates, inflation, employment levels, consumer confidence and housing demand. In addition, a significant amount of our revenue is concentrated among certain customers, industries, product offerings and in distinct geographic regions, primarily in the United States. Our 2025 revenue in our U.S. Markets Financial Services and Consumer Interactive verticals accounted for approximately 37% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated gross revenues, respectively. If businesses in these industries experience economic hardship, we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate future revenue growth. Our customer base suffers when financial markets experience volatility, liquidity issues and disruption, which has occurred in the past and which could reoccur, and the potential for increased and continuing disruptions going forward, present considerable risks to our business and revenue. Changes in the macroeconomic environment have resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in volumes, pricing and operating margins for our services. In addition, if consumer demand for financial services and products and the number of credit applications decrease, the demand for our services could also be materially reduced. High inflation levels have a negative impact on our business by decreasing demand for credit due to slower consumer spending on non-essential goods and services and due to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to combat inflation. Continued inflation and additional interest rate increases could further materially impact our business. These types of disruptions could lead to a decline in the volumes of services we provide our customers and could negatively impact our revenue and results of operations.

***We are subject to significant competition in the markets in which we operate, and we may face significant competition in the new markets that we plan to enter.***

The markets for our services are highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully against our competitors, which could impair our ability to sell our services. We compete on the basis of differentiated solutions, data assets, analytics capabilities, ease of integration with our customers' technology, stability of services, customer relationships, innovation and price. Our regional and global competitors vary in size, financial and technical capability, and in the scope of the products and services they offer. Some of our competitors may be better positioned to develop, promote and sell their products. Larger competitors may benefit from greater cost efficiencies and may be able to win business simply based on pricing. We consistently face downward pressure on the pricing of our products, which could result in reduced prices for certain products, or a loss of market share. Our competitors may also be able to respond to opportunities before we do, by taking advantage of new technologies, changes in customer requirements or market trends.

For example, our Consumer Interactive vertical experiences competition from emerging companies. In the past several years, there has been an influx of other companies offering similar services to ours, free of charge. In response, we launched a new direct-to-consumer product that is offered in both free and paid tiers in 2025.

Many of our competitors have extensive customer relationships, including relationships with our current and potential customers. New competitors, or alliances among competitors, may emerge and gain significant market share. Existing or new competitors may develop products and services that are superior to ours or that achieve greater market acceptance. If we are unable to respond to changes in customer requirements as quickly and effectively as our competition, our ability to expand our business and sell our services may be adversely affected.

Our competitors may be able to sell services at lower prices than we do, individually or as part of integrated suites of several related services. This ability may cause our customers to purchase from our competitors rather than from us. Price reductions by our competitors could also negatively impact our operating margins or harm our ability to obtain new long-term contracts or renewals of existing contracts on favorable terms. Additionally, some of our customers may develop products of their own that replace the products they currently purchase from us, which would result in lower revenue.

We also expect that there will be significant competition in the new markets that we enter. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors. If we fail to successfully compete, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***To the extent the availability of free or relatively inexpensive consumer information increases, the demand for some of our services may decrease.***

Public and commercial sources of free or relatively inexpensive consumer information have become increasingly available and this trend is expected to continue. Public and commercial sources of free or relatively inexpensive consumer information, including free credit information from lead generation companies and from banks, may reduce demand for our services. Beginning in April 2020, we began offering free credit reports on a weekly basis. To the extent that our customers choose not to obtain services from us and instead rely on information obtained at little or no cost from these public and commercial sources, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***Our relationships with key long-term customers may be materially diminished or terminated.***

We have long-standing relationships with a number of our customers, many of whom could unilaterally terminate their relationship with us or materially reduce the amount of business they conduct with us at any time. Our customer agreements relating to our core credit reporting service offered through our U.S. Markets segment are terminable upon advance written notice (typically ranging from 30 days to six months) by either us or the customer, which provides our customers with the opportunity to renegotiate their contracts with us or to award more business to our competitors.

We also provide our services to business partners who may combine them with their own or other branded services to be offered as a bundle to consumers, governmental agencies and businesses in support of fraud or credit protection, credit monitoring, identity authentication, insurance or credit underwriting, and collections. Some of these partners are the largest providers of credit information or identity protection services to the U.S. consumer market.

Market competition, business requirements, financial condition and consolidation through mergers or acquisitions, could adversely affect our ability to continue or expand our relationships with our customers and business partners. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain or renew existing agreements, maintain relationships with any of our customers or business partners on acceptable terms or at all, or collect amounts owed to us from insolvent customers or business partners. The loss of one or more of our major customers or business partners could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we are unable to develop successful new services in a timely manner, or if the market does not adopt our new services, our ability to maintain or increase our revenue could be adversely affected.***

In order to keep pace with customer demands for increasingly sophisticated service offerings, to sustain expansion into growth industries and to maintain our profitability, we must continue to innovate and introduce new services to the market. The process of developing new services is complex and uncertain. Our industry solutions require extensive experience and knowledge from within the relevant industry. We must commit significant resources to this effort before knowing whether the market will accept new service offerings. Additionally, our business strategy is dependent on our ability to expand into new markets and to bring new products to market. We may not successfully enter into new markets or execute on our new services because of challenges in planning or timing, technical hurdles, difficulty in predicting market demand, changes in regulation or a lack of appropriate resources. Additionally, even if we successfully develop new products, our existing customers might not accept these new products or new markets might not adopt our products due to operational constraints, high switching costs or general lack of market readiness. Failure to successfully introduce new services to the market could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If our outside service providers and key vendors are not able to or do not fulfill their service obligations, our operations could be disrupted and our operating results could be harmed.***

We depend on a number of service providers and key vendors such as telecommunication companies, software engineers, data processors, software and hardware vendors and providers of credit score algorithms, who are critical to our operations. These service providers and vendors are involved with our service offerings, communications and networking equipment, computer hardware and software and related support and maintenance. Although we have implemented service-level agreements and have established monitoring controls, our operations could be disrupted if we do not successfully manage relationships with our service providers, if they do not perform or are unable to perform agreed-upon service levels, or if they are unwilling to make their services available to us at reasonable prices. If our service providers and vendors do not perform their service obligations, it could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

***There may be further consolidation in our end-customer markets, which may adversely affect our revenues.***

There has been, and we expect there will continue to be, merger, acquisition and consolidation activity in our customer markets. If our customers merge with, or are acquired by, other entities that are not our customers, or that use fewer of our services, our revenue may be adversely impacted. In addition, industry consolidation could affect the base of recurring transaction-based revenue if consolidated customers combine their operations under one contract, since most of our contracts provide for volume discounts. In addition, our existing customers might leave certain geographic markets, which would no longer require them to purchase certain products from us and, consequently, we would generate less revenue than we currently expect.

**Risks Related to Technology and Cybersecurity**

***Data security and integrity are critically important to our business, and cybersecurity incidents, including cyberattacks, breaches of security, unauthorized access to or disclosure of our intellectual property or confidential information, business disruption, or the perception that confidential information is not secure, could result in a material loss of business, regulatory enforcement, substantial legal liability and/or significant harm to our reputation.***

As a global consumer credit reporting agency and provider of risk and information solutions, we collect, store and transmit a large amount of sensitive and confidential consumer information on over one billion consumers, including financial information, personally identifiable information and protected health information. As such, we rely heavily on computer systems, hardware, software and technology infrastructure for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business. We face significant and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and data including unintentional events and deliberate attacks by third parties or insiders, such as the exploitation of "bugs" or security vulnerabilities in software and hardware and sophisticated attack methods such as ransomware. Cyberattacks can take many forms, but they typically have one or more of the following objectives, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain unauthorized access to confidential data such as personal information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manipulate or destroy data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disrupt, sabotage or degrade service on our systems; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• affect our operations or data through attacks on third-party business partners or service providers.

We experience numerous attempts to access our computer systems, software, networks, data and other technology assets on a daily basis. We have also experienced cyberattacks and other security incidents, and expect that such attacks and incidents will continue in varying degrees in the future. To date, none of these attacks or incidents has had a material impact on our business, operations or financial results. However, there can be no assurance that future attacks will be immaterial and even immaterial incidents may adversely impact us. For example, in July 2025, TransUnion was affected by a cyberattack in which a third party gained unauthorized access through social engineering to a third-party application used in our customer support operations that

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

exposed certain personal data of 4.4 million consumers. While this incident was not material to TransUnion and did not affect our core credit database or related credit report products and services, we have incurred and expect to continue incurring costs associated with, among other things, responding to regulatory inquiries and class action lawsuits.

The security and protection of non-public consumer information is our top priority. However, there can be no guarantee that the cybersecurity risk management program and processes for any company, including us and our service providers, will be fully implemented, complied with and effective at all times. We cannot assure you that our systems, databases and services will not be compromised or disrupted in the future, whether as a result of deliberate attacks by malicious actors, breaches due to employee error or malfeasance, or other disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures, or natural disasters or other catastrophic events.

We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, companies with cybersecurity vulnerabilities and/or unsophisticated security measures, which exposes us to significant cybersecurity, operational, and financial risks. While we execute security due diligence in these transactions, neither the acquired company nor TransUnion can identify every issue in a timely manner, which could create material risk to us during the integration effort.

Highly publicized cybersecurity incidents have heightened consumer, legislative and regulatory awareness of cybersecurity risks. These events continue to embolden individuals or groups to target our systems more aggressively.

The preventive actions we take to address cybersecurity risk, including protection of our systems and networks, cannot sufficiently account for all threats or repel or mitigate the effects of all cyberattacks in the future as it is not possible to anticipate, detect or recognize all threats to our systems, or to implement comprehensive preventive measures against all cybersecurity risks. This is because, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the techniques used in cyberattacks change frequently and are increasingly sophisticated, including due to attackers' increasing use of AI, and may not be recognized until after the attacks have succeeded;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cyberattacks can originate from a wide variety of sources, including sophisticated threat actors involved in organized crime, sponsored by nation-states, or linked to terrorist or hacktivist organizations; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• third parties may seek to gain access to our systems either directly or using equipment or security passwords belonging to employees, customers, third-party service providers or other users (such as through social engineering and phishing attacks), similar to the tactics used in our cyber incident in July 2025.

In addition, given the nature of complex systems and services like ours, we have a large and ever-growing global attack surface comprised of numerous interconnected components, each with their own vulnerabilities and risks. While we have many security tools that we deploy across our infrastructure that actively scan our products and identify and track security vulnerabilities, we are unable to comprehensively guarantee that we can apply patches or ensure measures are in place to mitigate all such vulnerabilities before vulnerabilities can be exploited by a threat actor.

Unauthorized disclosure, loss or corruption of our data or inability of our customers to access our systems could materially disrupt our operations, subject us to substantial regulatory and legal proceedings (including class actions) and liability (such as penalties, fines and required changes to business practices), result in a material loss of business and/or significantly harm our reputation and competitiveness.

We may not be able to timely address the consequences of a cybersecurity incident because a successful breach of our computer systems, software, networks or other technology assets could persist for an extended period of time before being detected due to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the breadth and complexity of our operations and the high volume of transactions that we process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the large number of customers, counterparties and third-party service providers with which we do business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the proliferation and increasing sophistication of cyberattacks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that a malicious third party compromises the software, hardware or services that we procure from a service provider unbeknownst to both the provider and to TransUnion; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that a third party, after establishing a foothold on an internal network without being detected, might obtain access to other networks and systems.

The extent of a particular cybersecurity incident and the steps that we may need to take to investigate it may not be immediately clear, and it may take a significant amount of time before such an investigation can be completed and full and reliable information about the incident is known. While such an investigation is ongoing, we may not necessarily know the extent of the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

harm or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, any or all of which could further increase the costs and consequences of a cybersecurity incident.

Due to concerns about data security and integrity, a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies around the world have adopted consumer notification, public disclosure and other requirements in the event that consumer information is accessed by unauthorized persons and additional regulations regarding the use, access, accuracy and security of such data are possible. For example, in the United States alone, we are subject to federal and state laws that provide for more than 50 disparate notification regimes, some of which also provide for statutory damages and private rights of action for plaintiffs who experience certain types of data breaches. Jurisdictions outside the U.S., including in Europe, have strict notification and reporting requirements that are time sensitive and subject to large penalty provisions. Any failure to comply with the complexities of these various global regulations could subject us to regulatory scrutiny and substantial liability.

***If we experience system failures, personnel disruptions or capacity constraints, or our customers do not modify their systems to accept new releases of our distribution programs, the delivery of our services to our customers could be delayed or interrupted, which could harm our business and reputation and result in the loss of revenues or customers.***

Our ability to provide reliable service largely depends on our ability to maintain the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer network, systems and data centers, some of which have been outsourced to third-party providers. In addition, we generate a significant amount of our revenues through channels that are dependent on links to telecommunications providers. Our systems, personnel and operations could be exposed to damage or interruption from fire, natural disasters, pandemic illness, power loss, war, terrorist acts, civil disobedience, telecommunication failures, computer viruses, DDoS attacks or human error. We may not have sufficient redundant operations to cover a loss or failure of our systems in a timely manner. Any significant interruption could severely harm our business and reputation and result in a loss of revenue and customers. Additionally, from time to time we send our customers new releases of our distribution programs, some of which contain security updates. Any failure by our customers to install these new releases could expose our customers to computer security risks.

***We could lose our access to data sources which could prevent us from providing our services.***

Our services and products depend extensively upon continued access to and receipt of data from external sources, including data received from customers, strategic partners and various government and public records repositories. In some cases, we compete with our data providers. Our data providers could stop providing data, provide untimely data or increase the costs for their data for a variety of reasons, including a perception that our systems are insecure as a result of a data security incidents, budgetary constraints, a desire to generate additional revenue or for regulatory or competitive reasons. We could also become subject to increased legislative, regulatory or judicial restrictions or mandates on the collection, disclosure or use of such data, in particular if such data is not collected by our providers in a way that allows us to legally use the data. If we were to lose access to this external data or if our access or use were restricted or were to become less economical or desirable, our ability to provide services could be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in maintaining our relationships with these external data source providers or that we will be able to continue to obtain data from them on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain data from alternative sources if our current sources become unavailable.

***If we fail to maintain and improve our systems, our data matching technology, and our interfaces with data sources and customers, demand for our services could be adversely affected.***

In our markets, there are continuous improvements in computer hardware, network operating systems, programming tools, programming languages, operating systems, data matching, data filtering and other database technologies and the use of the internet. These improvements, as well as changes in customer preferences or regulatory requirements, may require changes in the technology used to gather and process our data and deliver our services. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• internally develop and implement new and competitive technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• migrate our U.S. credit business to OneTru;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver OneTru capabilities in international markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• use leading third-party technologies effectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• respond to changing customer needs and regulatory requirements, including being able to bring our new products to the market quickly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transition customers and data sources successfully to new interfaces or other technologies.

We cannot provide assurance that we will successfully implement new technologies, cause customers or data furnishers to implement compatible technologies or adapt our technology to evolving customer, regulatory and competitive requirements. If

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

we fail to respond, or fail to cause our customers or data furnishers to respond, to changes in technology, regulatory requirements or customer preferences, the demand for our services, the delivery of our services or our market reputation could be adversely affected. Additionally, our failure to implement important updates could affect our ability to successfully meet the timeline for us to generate cost savings resulting from our investments in improved technology. Failure to achieve any of these objectives would impede our ability to deliver strong financial results.

**Risks Related to Laws, Regulations and Government Oversight**

***The CFPB has supervisory and examination authority over our business and may initiate enforcement actions with regard to our compliance with federal consumer financial laws. Actions by the CFPB or other regulators against us or our executives could result in increased operating costs, reputational harm, payment of damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief and/or restitution, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The CFPB has broad authority over our business. This includes authority to issue regulations under federal consumer financial protection laws, such as under the FCRA and other laws applicable to us and our financial customers. The CFPB is authorized to prevent "unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices" through its regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority.

The CFPB conducts examinations and investigations and may issue subpoenas and bring civil actions in federal court for violations of the federal consumer financial laws including the FCRA. In these proceedings, the CFPB can seek relief that includes: rescission or reformation of contracts, restitution, disgorgement of profits, payment of damages, limits on activities and civil money penalties of up to $1.0 million per day for knowing violations. The CFPB conducts periodic examinations of us and the consumer credit reporting industry, which could result in new regulations or enforcement actions or proceedings. Actions by the CFPB could result in requirements to alter or cease offering affected products and services, making them less attractive and restricting our ability to offer them.

For example, in January 2017, as part of a Consent Order ("2017 Consent Order") entered into with the CFPB, we agreed among other things, to implement certain practice changes in the way we advertise, market and sell products and services offered directly to consumers. On April 12, 2022, the CFPB filed a lawsuit against us, Trans Union LLC, TransUnion Interactive, Inc. (collectively, the "TU Entities") and the former President of our Consumer Interactive business, John Danaher, seeking restitution, civil money penalties, and injunctive relief, among other remedies, and alleging that the TU Entities violated the 2017 Consent Order and engaged in deceptive acts and practices in marketing the TransUnion Credit Monitoring product, among other allegations. On February 28, 2025, the CFPB, the TU Entities and Mr. Danaher filed with the Court a joint stipulation to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and the Court dismissed the lawsuit on March 21, 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, we adjusted the $56.0 million accrual previously recorded for this matter to zero, as the loss was no longer probable.

In March 2024, we received a Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise ("NORA") letter from the CFPB, informing us that the CFPB's Enforcement Division was considering whether to recommend that the CFPB take legal action against us related to our dispute handling practices and procedures. The NORA letter alleged that Trans Union LLC violated the FCRA's requirements to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information and follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports, and the Consumer Financial Protection Act's prohibition of unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices. On July 12, 2024, the CFPB Enforcement Division advised us that it had obtained authority to pursue an enforcement action against us seeking specific injunctive relief provisions and civil money penalties. We were previously engaged in active discussions with the CFPB regarding this matter, but given recent changes in CFPB leadership, our engagement with the agency on this matter has paused. We cannot provide an estimate of when, or if, such engagement will resume. We further cannot provide assurance that the CFPB will not ultimately commence a lawsuit against us in this matter, nor are we able to predict the likely outcome of this matter.

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 20, "Contingencies" for information regarding the CFPB matter.

Additionally, on October 5, 2023, we entered into a Consent Order with the CFPB and the FTC to resolve alleged violations of the FCRA relating to our Tenant and Employment screening business, TransUnion Rental Screening Solutions, Inc., and Trans Union LLC. Pursuant to the Consent Order, we paid $11.0 million in redress and $4.0 million in civil money penalties and implemented certain business process changes. We remain subject to and in compliance with the Consent Order, and any failure to adhere to its requirements could result in additional regulatory action or penalties.

In recent years, the consumer reporting industry has been subject to heightened scrutiny. If this trend continues, it could result in more regulatory and legislative scrutiny of the practices of our industry and additional regulatory enforcement actions and litigation, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our compliance costs and legal and regulatory exposure could increase materially if we are targeted by the CFPB for additional enforcement actions, or if the CFPB or other federal, state or local regulators enact new regulations, change regulations that

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

were previously adopted, modify through supervision or enforcement past regulatory guidance, or interpret existing regulations in a manner different or stricter than have been previously interpreted. For example, the CFPB recently issued guidance that indicates increased focus on consumer reporting agencies' compliance with the accuracy and dispute obligations under the FCRA with respect to rental information. Although we have committed resources to enhancing our risk and compliance programs, actions by the CFPB or other regulators against us or our current or former executives could result in increased operating costs, reputational harm, payment of damages and civil monetary penalties, injunctive relief and/or restitution, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Our business is subject to various governmental regulations, laws and orders, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant expenses or reduce the availability or effectiveness of our solutions, and the failure to comply with which could subject us to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.***

Our businesses are subject to regulation under the FCRA, the GLBA, the DPPA, HIPAA, HITECH, the Dodd-Frank Act, the FTC Act and various other international, federal, state and local laws and regulations. See "Business-Legal and Regulatory Matters" for a description of select regulatory regimes to which we are subject. These laws and regulations, which generally are designed to protect the privacy of the public and to prevent the misuse of personal information available in the marketplace, are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. We already incur significant expenses in implementing programs designed to ensure compliance with these laws.

Currently, public concern is high with regard to the operation of consumer reporting agencies in the United States, as well as the collection, use, accuracy, correction and sharing of personal information, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial information, medical information, department of motor vehicle data and other personal data.

In addition, many consumer advocates, privacy advocates, legislatures and government regulators believe that existing laws and regulations do not adequately protect privacy and have become increasingly concerned with the collection and use of this type of personal information. As a result, over a dozen U.S. states have passed comprehensive privacy legislation intended to provide consumers with greater transparency and control over their personal information by providing consumers with certain rights, such as the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, and the right to access, delete, correct, or opt out of the sale of their personal information. While these laws include specific exemptions for practices and activities regulated by the FCRA, the GLBA, HIPAA and the DPPA, including our credit reporting business, they apply to other portions of our business that are not regulated by these laws.

Public concern regarding identity theft also has led to more transparency for consumers as to what is in their credit reports. We provide credit reports and scores and monitoring services to consumers for a fee, and this income stream could be reduced or restricted by legislation that requires us to provide these services to consumers free of charge. For example, under U.S. federal law today, we are required to provide consumers with one credit report per year free of charge, and beginning in April 2020, we began offering consumers free weekly credit reports.

The following legal and regulatory developments also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amendment, enactment or interpretation of laws and regulations that restrict the access and use of personal information and reduce the availability or effectiveness of our solutions or the supply of data available to customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in governmental, cultural and consumer attitudes in favor of further restrictions on information collection and sharing, which may lead to regulations that prevent full utilization of our solutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of data suppliers or customers to comply with laws or regulations, where mutual compliance is required;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of our solutions to comply with current laws and regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of our solutions to adapt to changes in the regulatory environment in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

Changes in applicable legislation or regulations that restrict or dictate how we collect, maintain, combine and disseminate information, or that require us to provide services to consumers or a segment of consumers without charge, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Evolutions in consumer finance regulatory requirements or market practices involving our customers also might negatively affect our businesses and the markets into which we sell. For instance, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and various government sponsored entities continue to evaluate permitting mortgage originators to underwrite loans using less than three credit reports, rather than the current mandate to use a credit report from each of the three national consumer reporting agencies. In the future, we may be subject to significant additional expense to ensure continued compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to investigate, defend or remedy actual or alleged violations. Any failure by us to comply with applicable laws or regulations could also result in significant liability to us, including liability to private plaintiffs as a result of individual or class action litigation, or may result in the cessation of our operations or portions of our operations or impositions of fines and restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations. Moreover, our compliance with privacy laws and regulations and our reputation depend in part on our customers' adherence to privacy laws and regulations and their use of our services in ways consistent with consumer expectations and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

regulatory requirements. Certain of the laws and regulations governing our business are subject to interpretation by judges, juries and administrative entities, creating substantial uncertainty for our business. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new laws or regulations may have on our business. See "Business-Legal and Regulatory Matters."

***Regulatory oversight of our contractual relationships with certain of our customers may adversely affect our business.***

Regulatory guidance to financial institutions like national banks (e.g., from The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (the "OCC")) on assessing and managing risks associated with third-party relationships, which include all business arrangements between a bank and another entity, by contract or otherwise, requires banks to exercise comprehensive oversight throughout each phase of a bank's business arrangement with third-party service providers, and instructs banks to adopt risk management processes commensurate with the level of risk and complexity of its third-party relationships. The OCC and other regulators expect especially rigorous oversight of third-party relationships that involve certain "critical activities," which include significant bank functions or significant shared services or other activities that could have a major impact on a bank's operations. In light of this guidance, our existing or potential financial services customers subject to regulation may continue to revise their third-party risk management policies and processes and the terms on which they do business with us, which may adversely affect our relationship with such customers.

***The outcome of litigation, inquiries, investigations, examinations or other legal proceedings in which we are involved, in which we may become involved, or in which our customers or competitors are involved could subject us to significant monetary damages or restrictions on our ability to do business.***

Legal proceedings arise frequently as part of the normal course of our business. These may include individual consumer cases, class action lawsuits and inquiries, investigations, examinations, regulatory proceedings or other actions brought by federal or state authorities or by consumers. The scope and outcome of these proceedings is often difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in lawsuits may seek recovery of large amounts and the cost to defend such litigation may be significant. There may also be adverse publicity and uncertainty associated with investigations, litigation and orders (whether pertaining to us, our customers or our competitors) that could decrease customer acceptance of our services or result in material discovery expenses. In addition, a court-ordered injunction or an administrative cease-and-desist order or settlement may require us to modify our business practices or may prohibit conduct that would otherwise be legal and in which our competitors may engage. Many of the technical and complex statutes to which we are subject, including state and federal credit reporting, medical privacy and financial privacy requirements, may provide for civil and criminal penalties and may permit consumers to maintain individual or class action lawsuits against us and obtain statutory and punitive damages. Additionally, our customers might face similar proceedings, actions or inquiries, which could affect their business and, in turn, our ability to do business with those customers. While we do not believe that the outcome of any pending or threatened legal proceeding, investigation, examination or supervisory activity will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, such events are inherently uncertain and adverse outcomes could result in significant monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us.

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 20, "Contingencies" for information regarding our legal proceedings.

***We currently use, and will continue to invest in the use of, AI Technologies, which use is subject to a continuously evolving regulatory landscape. The evolving regulatory landscape may impac***t ***our use of AI Technologies, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, which could result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.*** 

We use AI Technologies throughout our business, and are making, and will continue to make, significant investments in this area. For example, we use AI Technologies to build, enhance and analyze predictive and prescriptive models for specific customers and to automate and improve the efficiency of our business internally. Additionally, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations.

In the United States, legislation related to AI Technologies has been introduced at the federal level and 46 states have passed at least one law relating to AI Technologies. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency finalized regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act, which will become effective over the course of 2026 through 2027, regarding the use of automated decision-making. California also enacted 17 new laws in 2024 that further regulate use of AI Technologies and provide consumers with additional protections around companies' use of AI Technologies, such as requiring companies to disclose certain uses of generative AI. Other states have also passed AI-focused legislation, such as Colorado's Artificial Intelligence Act, which requires developers and deployers of "high-risk" AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination, and Utah's Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, which establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interactions.

In Europe, on August 1, 2024, the EU AI Act came into effect, establishing a comprehensive, risk-based governance framework for AI in the EU market. The majority of the substantive requirements will apply beginning in August 2026. The EU AI Act

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

applies to companies that develop, use and/or provide AI in the EU and—depending on the AI use case—includes requirements around transparency, conformity assessments and monitoring, risk assessments, human oversight, security, accuracy, general purpose AI and foundation models, and fines for breach.

It is also possible that further new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, or that existing laws and regulations, including competition and antitrust laws, may be interpreted in ways that would limit our ability to use AI Technologies for our business, or require us to change the way we use AI Technologies in a manner that negatively affects the performance of our products, services, and business and the way in which we use AI Technologies.

We have a comprehensive AI risk management framework that includes governance standards, risk assessments, and compliance measures designed to mitigate potential adverse consequences from AI Technologies. However, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet completely determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or market perception of their requirements may have on our business and may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations. As such, these laws and regulations may affect our use of AI Technologies and our ability to provide, improve or commercialize our services, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

**Risks Related to Global Operations**

***Our ability to expand our operations in, and the portion of our revenue derived from, markets outside the United States is subject to economic, political and other inherent risks, which could adversely impact our growth rate and financial performance.***

Over the last several years, we have derived a growing portion of our revenues from customers outside the United States, and it is our intent to continue to expand our international operations, including our planned acquisition in Mexico. We have sales and technical support personnel in numerous countries worldwide. We expect to continue to add personnel internationally to expand our abilities to deliver differentiated services to our international customers. Expansion into international markets will require significant resources and management attention and will subject us to new regulatory, economic and political risks. Moreover, the services we offer in developed and emerging markets must match our customers' demand for those services. Due to price, limited purchasing power and differences in the development of consumer credit markets, there can be no assurance that our services will be accepted in any particular developed or emerging market, and we cannot be sure that our international expansion efforts will be successful. The results of our operations and our growth rate could be adversely affected by a variety of factors arising out of international commerce, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• currency exchange rate fluctuations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash to the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in managing and staffing international offices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased travel, infrastructure, legal and compliance costs of multiple international locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign laws and regulatory requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• terrorist activity, natural disasters and other catastrophic events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on the import and export of technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• longer payment cycles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to meet quality standards for outsourced work;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unfavorable tax rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political and economic conditions in foreign countries, particularly in emerging markets, and between countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign trade policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the presence and acceptance of varying level of business corruption in international markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• varying business practices in foreign countries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced protection for intellectual property rights.

For example, in 2025, reported revenue from our International segment increased 4.4% including the impact of foreign currencies, or 3.6% on a constant currency basis which excludes the impact of foreign currencies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023-Revenue-International Segment." As we continue to expand our business, our success will partially depend on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks. Our failure to manage these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We face geopolitical and other risks associated with our international operations, which could materially adversely impact our results of operations and our financial condition.***

We conduct operations in over 30 countries and, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 22% of our reported revenue was derived by our international operations based on where it was earned, which subjects us to various risks inherent in global operations. We may conduct business in additional foreign jurisdictions in the future, which may carry operational risks. At any particular time, our global operations may be affected by local changes in laws, regulations, and political and economic environments, including inflation, recession, currency volatility, and competition, as well as business and operational decisions made by joint venture partners.

Furthermore, geopolitical dynamics caused by political, economic, social or other conditions in foreign countries and regions may impact our business and results of operations. Significantly higher and sustained rates of inflation, with subsequent increases in operational costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. The continued threat of terrorism and heightened security and military action in response thereto, or any other current or future acts of terrorism, war and other events (such as economic sanctions and trade restrictions) may cause further disruptions to the economies of the United States and other countries and create further uncertainties or could otherwise negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Changes or uncertainty in U.S. policies or policies in other countries and regions in which we do business, including any changes or uncertainty with respect to U.S. or international trade policies or tariffs, also can disrupt our global operations, as well as our customers and suppliers, in a particular location and may require us to spend more money to source certain products or materials that we purchase. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Intellectual Property**

***We may be unable to protect our intellectual property adequately or cost-effectively, which may cause us to lose market share or force us to reduce our prices. We also rely on trade secrets and other forms of unpatented intellectual property that may be difficult to protect.***

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary aspects of our technology and services. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, including trade secrets and other unpatented intellectual property, our competitors could use our intellectual property to market and deliver similar services, decreasing the demand for our services. We rely on the patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries, as well as contractual restrictions, such as nondisclosure agreements, to protect and control access to our proprietary intellectual property. These measures afford limited protection, however, and may be inadequate. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using our proprietary assets without our authorization or from breaching any contractual restrictions with us. Enforcing our rights could be costly, time-consuming, distracting and harmful to significant business relationships. Claims that a third party illegally obtained and is using trade secrets can be difficult to prove, and courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Additionally, others may independently develop non-infringing technologies that are similar or superior to ours. Any significant failure or inability to adequately protect and control our proprietary assets may harm our business and reduce our ability to compete.

***We may face claims for intellectual property infringement, which could subject us to monetary damages or limit us in using some of our technologies or providing certain services.***

There has been substantial litigation in the United States regarding intellectual property rights in the information technology industry. We cannot be certain that we do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, including the intellectual property rights of third parties in other countries, which could result in a liability to us. Historically, patent applications in the United States and some foreign countries have not been publicly disclosed until eighteen months following submission of the patent application, and we may not be aware of currently filed patent applications that relate to our products or processes. If patents are later issued on these applications, we may be liable for infringement. In the event that claims are asserted against us, we may be required to obtain licenses from third parties (if available on acceptable terms or at all). Any such claims, regardless of merit, could be time consuming and expensive to litigate or settle, divert the attention of management and materially disrupt the conduct of our business, and we may not prevail. Intellectual property infringement claims against us could subject us to liability for damages and restrict us from providing services or require changes to certain products or services. Although our policy is to obtain licenses or other rights where necessary, we cannot provide assurance that we have obtained all required licenses or rights. If a successful claim of infringement is brought against us and we fail to develop non-infringing products or services, or to obtain licenses on a timely and cost-effective basis, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

**Risks Related to Our Growth Strategy**

***When we engage in acquisitions, investments in new businesses or divestitures of existing businesses, we face risks that may adversely affect our business.***

We have acquired and may continue to acquire or make investments in businesses that offer complementary services and technologies. Acquisitions may not be completed on favorable terms and acquired assets, data or businesses may not be successfully integrated into our operations. Even if we devote substantial management attention and resources to integrating acquired businesses in order to fully realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions, the businesses and assets acquired may not be successful or continue to grow at the same rate as when operated independently or may require greater resources and investments than we originally anticipated. Acquisitions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failing to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• paying more than fair market value for an acquired company or assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failing to integrate the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses in an efficient and timely manner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties associated with the implementation and maintenance of internal controls required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), including over acquired businesses not previously subject to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disrupting our ongoing businesses, including loss of sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distracting management focus from our existing businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assumption of unanticipated or contingent liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failing to retain key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incurring the expense of an impairment of assets due to the failure to realize expected benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• damaging relationships with employees, customers or strategic partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diluting the share value of existing stockholders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incurring additional debt or reducing available cash to service our existing debt.

We evaluate and may in the future divest certain assets or businesses that no longer fit with our growth strategy. Divestitures involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disrupting our ongoing businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to buyers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reducing our revenues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• losing key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distracting management focus from our existing businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that we will become subject to third-party claims arising out of such divestiture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• indemnification claims for breaches of representations and warranties in sale agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• damaging relationships with employees and customers as a result of transferring a business to new owners; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to close a transaction due to conditions such as financing or regulatory approvals not being satisfied.

These risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations, particularly if they occur in the context of a significant acquisition or divestiture. In addition, changes in laws and regulations following a significant acquisition or divestiture could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. Additional acquisitions of businesses having a significant presence outside the United States will further increase our exposure to the risks of conducting operations in international markets.

***We depend, in part, on strategic alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions to grow our business. If we are unable to make strategic acquisitions and develop and maintain these strategic alliances and joint ventures, our growth may be adversely affected.***

An important focus of our business is to identify business partners who can enhance our services and enable us to develop solutions that differentiate us from our competitors. We have entered into several alliance agreements or license agreements with respect to certain of our data assets and services and may enter into similar agreements in the future. These arrangements may require us to restrict our use of certain of our technologies among certain customer industries, or to grant licenses on terms that ultimately may prove to be unfavorable to us, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Relationships with our alliance agreement partners may include risks due to incomplete information regarding the marketplace and commercial strategies of our partners, and our alliance agreements or other licensing agreements

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

may be the subject of contractual disputes. If we or our alliance agreements' partners are not successful in maintaining or commercializing the alliance agreements' services, such commercial failure could adversely affect our business.

In addition, a significant strategy for our international expansion is to establish operations through strategic alliances or joint ventures with local financial institutions and other partners. We cannot provide assurance that these arrangements will be successful or that our relationships with our partners will continue to be mutually beneficial. If these relationships cannot be established or maintained, it could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, our ownership in and control of our foreign investments may be limited by local law.

We also selectively evaluate and consider acquisitions as a means of expanding our business and entering into new markets. We may not be able to acquire businesses we target due to a variety of factors such as competition from companies that are better positioned to make the acquisition. Our inability to make such strategic acquisitions could restrict our ability to expand our business and enter into new markets which would limit our ability to generate future revenue growth. Additionally, given some of our equity interests in various companies, we may be limited in our ability to require or influence such companies to make acquisitions or take other actions that we believe to be in our or their best interests. Our inability to take such actions could have a material impact on our revenues or earnings.

**Risks Related to Our Indebtedness**

***We have a substantial amount of debt which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the debt instruments.***

As of December 31, 2025, the book value of our debt was approximately $5.1 billion primarily consisting of outstanding borrowings under Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility. We may also incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Our substantial indebtedness may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make it difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including with respect to our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expose us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility, are at variable rates of interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to pay dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our less-leveraged competitors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

In addition, the credit agreement governing Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of substantially all of our debt.

***Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.***

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the credit agreement govern our debt limit, but do not prohibit, us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness, and any additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If we incur any additional debt, the priority of that debt may impact the ability of existing debt holders to share ratably in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us, subject to collateral arrangements. These restrictions will also not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. We also have the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the existing senior secured credit facility up to the greater of $1.0 billion and 100% of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, and may incur additional incremental loans so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25 to 1.0, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

***We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.***

Our ability to make scheduled payments due on our debt obligations or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic, industry and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control as discussed above. Our total scheduled principal repayments of debt made in 2025 and 2024 were $78.5 million and $48.9 million, respectively. Our total interest expense for 2025 and 2024 was $235.8 million and $265.2 million, respectively. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to implement any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. The credit agreement governing Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility restricts our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from those dispositions and may also restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations then due. In addition, under the covenants of the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility, TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, is restricted from making certain payments, including dividend payments to TransUnion, subject to certain exceptions.

***Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations.***

If we cannot make our scheduled debt payments, we will be in default and all outstanding principal and interest on our debt may be declared due and payable, the lenders under Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility could terminate their commitments to loan money, Trans Union LLC's secured lenders (including the lenders under Trans Union LLC's senior secured credit facility) could foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

**Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock**

***Our stock price has recently been volatile, and may continue to be volatile and/or decline, regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid or at all.***

In the recent past, our stock price has been volatile and has declined due to a number of factors, including the deteriorating macroeconomic environment, changing expectations about our future revenue and operating results, and softening of the forward-looking guidance we have provided. The financial markets have at various times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have impacted the stock prices of many companies in the broader markets and in our industry in particular. These broad market and industry-specific fluctuations, as well as deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and stock price. We reconcile the fair value of our reporting units to our market capitalization during our annual goodwill impairment test, which we conduct more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A decrease in our market capitalization could be an indicator that one or more of our reporting units has a goodwill impairment.

This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid. In addition to the risks described in this section, several factors that could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly include, among others, the following, most of which we cannot control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quarterly variations in our operating results compared to market expectations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• guidance that we provide to the public, any changes in this guidance or our failure to meet this guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in preferences of our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements of new products or significant price reductions by us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• size of our public float;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• stock price performance of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• publication of research reports about our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in market valuations of our competitors;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• default on our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actions by our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in senior management or key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negative earnings or other announcements by us or other credit reporting agencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• downgrades in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issuances of capital stock or future sales of our common stock or other securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investor perceptions or the investment opportunity associated with our common stock relative to other investment alternatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the public response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements relating to litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the sustainability of an active trading market for our stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in accounting principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other events or factors, including those resulting from natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our common stock is low, and the amount of public float on any given day can vary depending on whether our stockholders choose to hold their shares for the long term.

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

***Our business and operations are exposed to risks arising from developments and trends associated with climate change and other sustainability matters, including risks associated with our own reporting or other initiatives.***

There are inherent environmental, including climate-related risks, wherever business is conducted. Various meteorological phenomena and extreme weather events may directly or indirectly disrupt our operations or those of our suppliers or infrastructure on which we rely, require us to incur additional operating or capital expenditures or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. While we may take various actions to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change, this may require us to incur substantial costs and may not be successful, due to, among other things, the uncertainty associated with the longer-term projections associated with managing climate risks. Any significant failure, compromise, interruption or a significant slowdown of operations, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise, may impair our ability to deliver our products and services.

There is also scrutiny from various stakeholders on companies' management of climate, human capital, and other sustainability matters. Such scrutiny may result in increased costs, changes in demand, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, increased legal exposure or other adverse impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, stakeholder expectations are not uniform and, at times, may conflict. For example, while some policymakers have adopted or are considering adopting requirements for sustainability-related disclosures or other substantive requirements on sustainability matters, other policymakers have taken actions to constrain companies' consideration of such matters. Both advocates and opponents of sustainability matters are engaging in increased activism, including litigation and media campaigns, to advocate their perspectives. Changing market dynamics and other global and domestic policy developments also have the potential to disrupt our business, the business of our suppliers and/or customers, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We engage in various initiatives (including disclosures) to address sustainability matters and stakeholder expectations across the various locations where we do business. However, such initiatives may be costly and may not have the desired effect. Many of our initiatives, including targets and disclosures, are informed by methodologies, standards, and data that continue to evolve, are subject to varying interpretations, and are often subject to factors outside of our control. As with other companies, our approach to such matters evolves over time, and we cannot guarantee that our approach will align with the expectations or preferences of any particular stakeholder. Moreover, actions or statements that we may make based on expectations, assumptions, calculation methodologies or third-party information that we currently believe to be reasonable may subsequently be determined to be erroneous or be subject to misinterpretation. For example, there have been increasingly nuanced allegations

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

against companies making significant sustainability claims due to a variety of perceived deficiencies in disclosure, methodology, or performance, including as stakeholder perceptions of sustainability continue to evolve. Our disclosures on these matters, a failure to satisfy evolving stakeholder expectations for sustainability matters, a failure to successfully navigate competing stakeholder expectations, or a failure or perceived failure to meet our commitments or targets on our established timeline may potentially harm our reputation, result in adverse stakeholder engagements, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents might discourage, delay or prevent acquisition attempts for us that you might consider favorable.***

Certain provisions of our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation and fifth amended and restated bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our Board to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at our annual meetings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings.

The anti-takeover provisions discussed above could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party's offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

***Our ability to pay cash dividends may be limited by the terms of our secured credit facility.***

In February 2018, our Board approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we intend to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The terms of our senior secured credit facility impose certain limitations on our ability to pay dividends. We may, however, declare and pay cash dividends up to an unlimited amount unless a default or event of default exists under the senior secured credit facility. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant.

***There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase program consistent with historical amounts or at all.***

Our share repurchase program may change from time to time, and we may not repurchase shares in any particular amounts, in amounts consistent with historical practice, or at all. Our repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares and the timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on several factors, including market and business conditions, applicable debt covenants, the timing and amount of cash proceeds from asset dispositions, the timing and amount of any tax-planning matters, the trading price of our common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities, and other factors as our Board may deem relevant from time to time. Repurchase activity could have a negative effect on our stock price, increase volatility, or fail to enhance stockholder value.

**General Risks**

***Economic and other conditions may adversely impact the valuation of our assets resulting in impairment charges that could have a material adverse impact on our results from operations.***

We have significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assets for impairment based on various factors, including actual operating results and expected trends of projected revenues, profitability and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Balance Sheet included goodwill of $5,259.5 million and other net intangibles of $3,098.5 million. We conduct a goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. We have the option to first perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that an impairment is more likely than not for any reporting unit, we perform a quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. Our quantitative impairment test consists of a fair value calculation for each reporting unit that combines an income approach, using the discounted cash flow method, and a market approach, using the guideline public company method. The quantitative impairment test requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and market multiples. The projected future revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, and the resulting projected cash flows of each reporting unit are based on historical experience and internal operating plans reviewed by management, extrapolated over the forecast period. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for risk factors specific to each reporting unit.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We believe the assumptions that we use in our qualitative and quantitative analysis are reasonable and consistent with assumptions that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, such assumptions are inherently uncertain. During times of economic distress, declining demand and declining earnings could lead to us to have less favorable estimates of our future cash flows, discount rates or market multiples. Such changes could lead to lower estimated fair values of our reporting units, which could lead to a material impairment charge. In certain markets where we operate, macroeconomic conditions are unfavorable. If these unfavorable macroeconomic conditions persist longer than we currently expect, or are worse than we currently expect, our estimates of revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins would decline, which could lead to an impairment of goodwill. For example, during 2023, inflationary pressures and rising interest rates in the U.K. resulted in a goodwill impairment of $414 million in our United Kingdom reporting unit.

Any change to the conclusion of our reporting units or the aggregation of components within our reporting units could result in a different outcome to our annual impairment test. See Part II, Item 7, "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates - Goodwill" for further information.

***If we fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on our stock price.***

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be reevaluated frequently. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). A control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control's objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company will have been detected. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. Any failure to maintain or implement new or improved controls over financial reporting could result in material weaknesses or result in the failure to detect or prevent material misstatements in our financial statements, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and harm our stock price.

***Natural disasters, pandemics, terrorist acts, war, actions by governments, and other geopolitical activities could disrupt our operations.***

We operate in numerous U.S. and international locations, and we have offices in a number of major cities across the globe. The occurrence of, or concerns related to, a major weather event, earthquake, hurricane, flood, drought, volcanic activity, disease or pandemic, or other natural disaster could significantly disrupt our operations. In addition, acts of civil unrest, failure of critical infrastructure, terrorism, war and armed conflict (including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, India, Ukraine and Russia), and abrupt political change, as well as responses by various governments and the international community to such acts, can have a negative effect on our business. Such events could impede delivery of our products and services to our clients, disrupt or shut down the internet or other critical client-facing and business processes, impede the travel of our personnel and clients, dislocate our critical internal functions and personnel, and in general harm our ability to conduct normal business operations, any of which can negatively impact our financial condition and operating results. Such events could also impact the business of our clients, which could materially adversely affect our business.

***We may not be able to attract and retain the skilled employees that we need to support our business.***

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain experienced management, sales, research and development, analytics, marketing and technical support personnel. If any of our key personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, it may be difficult to replace them and our business could be seriously harmed. If we are unable to find qualified successors to fill key positions as needed, our business could be seriously harmed. The complexity of our services requires trained customer service and technical support personnel. We may not be able to hire and retain such qualified personnel at compensation levels consistent with our compensation structure. Some of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expense replacing employees and our ability to provide quality services could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.

------

***We are subject to losses from risks for which we do not insure.***

For certain risks, we do not maintain insurance coverage because of cost and/or availability. Because we retain some portion of insurable risks, and in some cases retain our risk of loss completely, unforeseen or catastrophic losses in excess of insured limits could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we experience changes in tax laws or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our tax returns, it could adversely affect our results of operations.***

We are subject to federal, state and local income and other taxes in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. From time to time the United States federal, state, local and foreign governments make substantive changes to tax rules and the application thereof, which could result in materially different corporate taxes than would be incurred under existing tax law or interpretation and could adversely impact profitability. Governments have strengthened their efforts to increase revenues through changes in tax law, including laws regarding transfer pricing, economic presence and apportionment to determine the tax base.

Consequently, significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Our future effective tax rates and the value of our deferred tax assets could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws, as well as changes in our business operations. Our future provision for income taxes could be affected by changes in the composition of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, changes to our transfer pricing methodologies, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating losses, or changes in determinations regarding the jurisdictions in which we are subject to tax. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns and other tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from such examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and reserves for other taxes. Although we believe we have made appropriate provisions for taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in tax laws, or challenges from tax authorities under existing tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY**

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy**

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. We have dedicated global incident response teams and regularly run incident response training exercises. We proactively perform security testing ourselves and employ the use of third parties to test our security as well. These are performed in the form of penetration tests, red teams and a bug bounty program.

Our Information Security program is led by a global-level Information Security Department that develops our security policies, standards and procedures guided by the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 principles and aligned to the Center for Internet Security controls. We seek to evolve our approach to protect against increasing and changing security threats around the world.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated with our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes the following key elements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitoring and reporting of those risks to appropriate levels of management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a team comprised of information technology security, infrastructure, and compliance personnel principally responsible for directing our (1) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) security operations processes, and (3) response to cybersecurity incidents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the use of external cybersecurity service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global associates with access to information technology systems in more than 30 countries and territories across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, India and Asia Pacific who receive a combination of general and targeted training to help keep Information Security top of mind;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cybersecurity incident response plan and Security Operations Center for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a third-party security risk management process for key service providers based on their respective roles and risk profiles.

We have not identified incidents from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, could be reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Refer to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" for risks related to cybersecurity.

**Cybersecurity Governance**

Key Information Security risks are overseen by our Security and Technology Risk Committee (the "STRC"), which escalates significant issues to our Enterprise Risk Management Committee ("ERMC"). The STRC, which is co-chaired by the Chief Technology, Data & Analytics Officer and the Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), is responsible for overseeing key risks related to technology and information security for the global enterprise. The STRC provides oversight to ensure key risks related to technology and information security have appropriate controls and mitigations in place. The STRC also oversees associated policies, projects and programs for enterprise risk assessments related to technology and information security. The ERMC is chaired by the Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, and includes the Chief Executive Officer, his direct reports and other key function heads or senior subject matter experts, including the CISO.

The ERMC, which meets monthly, also monitors TransUnion's risk and governance policies and procedures to ensure that TransUnion's risks remain within the Board-approved Global Risk Appetite Statement. The ERMC reviews the broader risk environment applicable to TransUnion and provides direction to mitigate (to an acceptable level) certain identified risks that may adversely affect our ability to achieve strategic objectives. The ERMC stewards our Enterprise Risk Management Policy and additional enterprise policies in risk-related areas, such as privacy and information security and key issues are reported to the appropriate committee of the Board.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as critical to the enterprise and delegates the cybersecurity risk oversight function to the Risk and Compliance Committee of the Board. The Risk and Compliance Committee oversees the quality and effectiveness of our information security framework, including capabilities, policies and controls, and methods for identifying, assessing and mitigating information and cybersecurity risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee also assesses the effectiveness of the Company's management of information security-related risks, including consulting with internal and external advisors as appropriate.

Our CISO reports quarterly to the Risk and Compliance Committee and leads the Company's overall cybersecurity function. The Risk and Compliance Committee receives reports from our CISO on key security topics, which may include, among other things, the cybersecurity risk landscape, our cyber risk management program activities and significant cybersecurity incidents. The Board receives quarterly reports from the Chair of the Risk and Compliance Committee with applicable updates on the Company's cybersecurity risk landscape, and briefings on our cyber risk management program and significant cybersecurity incidents. The CISO and/or the Chief Legal Officer also periodically present to the Board on cybersecurity topics that impact public companies.

Our CISO assists the ERMC in staying informed about and monitoring efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external cybersecurity service providers; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment.

Our CISO is primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CISO has primary responsibility for leading our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our external cybersecurity service providers. Our CISO has significant global experience in managing and leading information technology and cybersecurity teams. Our CISO has over 20 years' experience in the technology and security fields, including over 10 years in executive security leadership roles. Our CISO and senior members of the cybersecurity team also participate in both private and public knowledge shares, including maintaining ongoing relationships with government and non-public entities.

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

The following discussion and analysis of TransUnion's financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Information," including TransUnion's audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed in "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors."

References in this discussion and analysis to the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to TransUnion and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and Trans Union LLC.

**Overview**

TransUnion is a leading global information and insights company that makes trust possible between businesses and consumers, helping people around the world access opportunities that can lead to a higher quality of life. That trust is built on TransUnion's ability to deliver safe, innovative solutions with credibility and consistency. We call this Information for Good.

We have built robust data and analytics assets for a large portion of the adult population in the markets we serve. We use our OneTru solution enablement platform to centralize data management, identity resolution, AI-powered analytics, enabling more persistent identity resolution with sharper, more contextualized insights. We use these insights, combined with our industry expertise, to develop relevant solutions to solve customers' needs, including credit risk, marketing and fraud mitigation. Because of our work, customers can better understand consumers in order to make more informed decisions, earn consumer trust through personalized experiences, and extend the appropriate opportunities, tools and offers. In turn, we believe consumers can be confident that their data identities will result in better offers and opportunities.

Our solutions enable businesses to manage and measure credit risk, market to new and existing customers, verify consumer identities, and mitigate fraud. We have deep domain expertise across a number of attractive industries, which we also refer to as verticals, including Financial Services and Emerging Verticals, which includes Insurance, Technology, Retail and E-Commerce, Telecommunications, Media, Tenant & Employment Screening, Collections, and Public Sector. In addition, consumers use our solutions to view their credit profiles, access analytical tools that help them understand and manage their personal financial information, and take precautions against identity theft. We have a global presence in over 30 countries and territories across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

Our addressable market includes the global data and analytics market, which continues to grow as companies increasingly recognize the benefits of data and analytics-based decision making, and as consumers recognize the important role that their data identities play in their ability to procure goods and services and prevent fraud. There are several underlying trends supporting this market growth, including the proliferation of data, advances in technology such as AI that enable data to be processed more quickly and efficiently to provide business insights, and growing demand for these business insights across industries and geographies. We have grown our business by expanding the breadth and depth of our data, strengthening our analytics capabilities, expanding into complementary vertical markets, deepening our solution suites in areas such as fraud mitigation and marketing, building out our geographic portfolio, investing in technology infrastructure, and enhancing our global operating model. As a result, we believe we are well positioned to expand our share within the markets we currently serve.

**Segments**

We manage our business and report our financial results in two reportable segments: U.S. Markets and International, which reflects the structure of the Company's internal organization, the method by which the Company's resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses the Company's performance. See Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 18, "Reportable Segments" for additional information about our operating segments.

***U.S. Markets***

The U.S. Markets segment provides data, analytics and actionable insights to businesses and consumers. Businesses use our services to acquire customers, assess consumers' ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities, mitigate fraud risk and respond to data breach events. Consumers use our services to manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

***International***

The International segment provides services similar to our U.S. Markets segment to businesses in select regions outside the United States. Depending on the maturity of the credit economy in each country, services may include credit reports, analytics and technology solutions services and other value-added risk management services. In addition, we have insurance, business and automotive databases in select geographies. These services are offered to customers in a number of industries including financial services, automotive, collections, public sector, gaming and communications, and are delivered through both direct and indirect channels. The International segment also provides consumer services similar to those offered by our Consumer Interactive vertical in our U.S. Markets segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft.

***Corporate***

Corporate provides support services for each of the segments, holds investments, and conducts enterprise functions. Certain costs incurred in Corporate that are not directly attributable to either of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

**Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations**

The following are certain key factors that affect, or have recently affected, our results of operations:

***Macroeconomic and Industry Trends***

Our revenues and results of operations have been and can be significantly influenced by general macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to, interest rates, inflation, tariffs, housing demand, the availability of credit and capital, employment levels, consumer confidence and the risk of recession.

Following three interest rate cuts in 2024 totaling 100 basis points, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") paused further rate cuts in the first half of 2025, in response to uncertainty around the new U.S. administration's economic and trade policies and their potential impact on inflation, employment, and consumer spending. Continued growth in consumer spending and real wages through the first half of 2025 supported this interest rate pause, but by the third quarter, a weakening employment situation, in particular a material slowing of hiring by businesses, as well as continued easing of inflation, led the Fed to resume rate cuts with a 25 basis point drop in September 2025 followed by two additional rate cuts totaling 50 basis points in the fourth quarter. Further rate cuts could spur renewed consumer confidence to borrow as well as increased demand for rate-sensitive lending products, in particular mortgage loans.

Macro-economic conditions in the U.K. and Canada continue to show signs of improvement, driven by falling inflation and moderate growth in other economic indicators. Regulatory actions in India have slowed credit expansion while GDP growth remained robust in the first three quarters of 2025 but slowed in the fourth quarter as a result of high U.S. tariffs. Foreign central banks have also begun to lower rates, which we expect will increase demand for rate-sensitive lending products.

In April 2025, the U.S. announced a minimum 10% import duty on all trading partners and higher rates on several large trading partners, with exemptions for certain industries and products. These announcements led to increased market volatility and uncertainty. If policies that significantly increase tariff rates are maintained, there is potential for the U.S. and global economic growth to slow, with increased probability for recession and increased inflation across many of the markets where we operate. With trade negotiations and legal challenges ongoing, the final timing and amount of tariff rates remains uncertain and therefore the impact is difficult to forecast, though it is likely that the final outcome of trade negotiations with many U.S. trading partners will result in higher tariff rates. Despite the early implementation of higher tariffs having a lower-than-expected impact on U.S. inflation rates in 2025, market uncertainty is putting pressure on the global macroeconomic environment. The uncertainty of tariff policy, price increases and stock market volatility has dampened, and may continue to suppress, consumer sentiment.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes potentially significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented periodically through 2027. The impacts of the OBBBA are reflected in our results for the year ended December 31, 2025 resulting in an increase in our provision for income taxes due to foreign inclusions and a decrease in our income taxes paid in 2025.

The factors described above impact the comparability of our results of operations, including our revenue and expense, between the periods presented below. Ongoing uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of the macroeconomic environment could have a material adverse impact on various aspects of our business in the future, including our stock price, results of operations, financial condition and the carrying value of our long-lived assets, such as goodwill and intangible assets.

***Effects of Inflation***

We believe that elevated levels of inflation have had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our business and results of operations, including decreased demand for our services. In response to significant reduction in inflation levels from peak levels in 2022 and 2023, the Fed and several international central banks began lowering interest rates in 2024 and 2025, and have indicated that further interest rate reductions in the future are possible. Meanwhile, rates that remain elevated relative to historic levels may result in depressed consumer spending on non-essential goods and services, and consequently lower demand for credit, which could have a material adverse impact on various aspects of our business in the future.

***Developments that Impact Comparability Between Periods***

The following developments impact the comparability of our balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows between years:

*<u>Transformation Plan</u>*

On November 12, 2023, our Board approved a transformation plan to optimize our operating model and continue to advance our technology. When we announced the transformation plan, we expected to recognize one-time pre-tax expenses of $355.0 to $375.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023 through the end of 2025. We incurred a total of $373.4 million in pre-tax expenses from the two initiatives discussed below in connection with the transformation plan, consistent with our overall expectations.

The operating model optimization program transitioned certain job responsibilities to our GCCs and reduced our facility footprint. We expected to incur total one-time pre-tax expenses of $205.0 to $215.0 million for employee separation expenses, facility exit expenses and other business optimization expenses. We incurred cumulative expenses of $204.7 million associated with this initiative.

The incremental investment to advance our technology, which was the final phase of our accelerated technology investment, fundamentally transformed our technology infrastructure through the implementation of a global cloud-based approach to streamline product development, increase efficiency of ongoing operations and maintenance, enable a continuous improvement approach, and provide a single global platform for fulfillment of our product lines. We expected to incur one-time pre-tax expenses of $150.0 to $160.0 million associated with this initiative. We incurred cumulative expenses of $168.7 million associated with this initiative, slightly above our estimate but within the expected range for the overall transformation plan.

We expected to generate annual savings of $120.0 to $140.0 million upon completion of the transformation plan in 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we realized annualized savings of approximately $130.0 million from the transformation plan. We incurred capital expenditures of 7.1% of revenue, below our prior expectations of 8% for 2025. We continue to expect to reduce our capital expenditures to approximately 6% in 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, we have accrued liabilities remaining for the payment of employee separation costs of $10.7 million in connection with our operating model optimization program. We expect payment of these liabilities to occur in 2026.

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 10, "Restructuring" for additional information about our restructuring expenses and "Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures" for additional details of the composition of these expenses.

*<u>Monevo Acquisition</u>*

On April 1, 2025, we gained control of Monevo by acquiring the remaining 70% of its outstanding equity, of which we previously owned 30%. We accounted for the transaction as a step acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. Accordingly, we remeasured our initial 30% investment, including the call option, at a fair value of $60.8 million, resulting in a non-taxable gain of $12.3 million recorded within other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Monevo's results of operations subsequent to the acquisition date, which are not material, are reflected in both the U.S. Markets and International segments for the year ended December 31, 2025, and affect the comparability of results to the prior year. See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2, "Business Acquisition," for further information about this transaction.

*<u>Legal Matters</u>*

On February 28, 2025, the CFPB, Trans Union LLC, TransUnion Interactive, Inc. and Mr. Danaher, the former President of Consumer Interactive, filed a joint stipulation with the Court to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit related to the 2017 Consent Order with prejudice, and the Court dismissed the lawsuit on March 21, 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, we adjusted the $56.0 million previously accrued for this matter to zero, as the loss was no longer probable. See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 20, "Contingencies" for additional information about this matter.

*<u>Share Repurchase Plan</u>*

On February 11, 2025, our Board authorized the 2025 Repurchase Plan. On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the 2025 Repurchase Plan authorization to $1.0 billion (including amounts repurchased as of such date under the original 2025 Repurchase Plan). Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion at prices management considers to be attractive through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, hybrid open market repurchases or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, subject to availability. Open market purchases are conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, are at the discretion of management. The 2025 Repurchase Plan does not have an expiration date.

Repurchased shares are retired, resulting in a reduction to common stock at par with the remainder to additional paid-in capital. Once repurchased, the shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company and reduce the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3,577,000 shares of common stock, respectively, for a total of $302.0 million, including commissions and excise taxes, under the 2025 Repurchase Plan. The average price paid per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $84.45. As of December 31, 2025, $700.1 million remains available for repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.

*<u>Debt</u>*

During the second quarter of 2025, we entered into a third-party financing arrangement to purchase certain long-lived assets that will be repaid over 5 years.

On December 12, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 24 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-9 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full Senior Secured Term Loan B-7. In addition, we increased the principal on Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 by $425.0 million and used the increase in proceeds to repay a portion of Senior Secured Term Loan B-5. In connection with this refinancing, we incurred related financing fees and expenses.

On June 24, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 23 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of Senior Secured Term Loan B-5. In connection with this refinancing, we incurred related financing fees and expenses.

On February 8, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 22 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-7 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay Senior Secured Term Loan B-6 in full and pay the related financing fees and expenses.

On October 27, 2023, we executed Amendment No. 21 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay Senior Secured Term Loan A-3 in full, repay $300.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan B-6, and pay the related financing fees and expenses. In addition, we increased the borrowing capacity on the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from $300.0 million to $600.0 million.

In 2025, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on June 30, 2025 and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,238.1 million that amortizes each quarter. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.2893% and 3.6920% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2024, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on December 31, 2024, and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,082.8 million that amortizes each quarter beginning the first quarter 2025. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.0650% and 3.9925% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

During 2025, we did not make any debt prepayments. During 2024, we prepaid $150.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-5, funded from cash-on-hand, and expensed $0.3 million of unamortized original issue discounts and deferred financing fees to other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2023, we prepaid $250.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-6, funded from our cash-on-hand, and expensed $3.4 million of the unamortized original issue discount and deferred fees to other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These transactions affect the comparability of interest expense between years, as further discussed in "Results of Operations – Non-Operating Income and (Expense) – Interest Expense" below.

*<u>Goodwill Impairment</u>*

During 2023, we identified a triggering event requiring an interim impairment assessment for our United Kingdom reporting unit, which resulted in a goodwill impairment of $414.0 million, as discussed in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 5, "Goodwill."

***Operating Expenses***

*<u>Cost of services</u>*

For 2025, cost of services increased $198.8 million compared with 2024. The increase was due primarily to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an increase of approximately $118.0 million in product and fulfillment costs due primarily to an increase in certain product cost pricing in our U.S. Markets segment and an increase in volume in both segments, partially offset by a decrease in variable postage costs related to breach remediation revenue in 2024 in our U.S Markets segment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $48.0 million in technology and communications costs, including increased cloud-computing costs and costs for our accelerated technology investment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a net increase of approximately $22.0 million in labor-related costs, due primarily to an increase in employee benefits and incentive compensation.

For 2024, cost of services increased $155.9 million compared with 2023. The increase was due primarily to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $138.0 million in product and fulfillment costs resulting from an increase in certain product cost pricing primarily in our U.S. Markets segment, an increase in variable postage related to an increase in breach remediation business in our U.S. Markets segment and an increase in volume in both segments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a net increase of approximately $10.0 million in labor-related costs, due primarily to an increase in annual incentive and stock-based compensation, partially offset by the realization of benefits from our operating model transformation plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $9.0 million in technology and communications costs, including costs for our accelerated technology investment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $9.0 million from costs related to our operating model optimization program,

partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of approximately $15.0 million in integration costs of our business acquisitions, an initiative that was completed in 2023.

*<u>Selling, general and administrative</u>*

For 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.7 million compared with 2024. The increase was due primarily to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a net increase of approximately $69.0 million in labor-related costs including salaries, stock-based compensation and commissions benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $9.0 million in marketing and advertising costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $4.0 million in technology and communications costs, including our accelerated technology investment,

partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $56.0 million in legal and regulatory expenses, related to the reduction of an accrued liability for a lawsuit that was dismissed in the first quarter of 2025, as further discussed in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 20, "Contingencies."

For 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $67.7 million compared with 2023. The increase was due primarily to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a net increase of approximately $27.0 million in labor-related costs, including annual incentive compensation, stock-based incentive compensation and employee benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $18.0 million in technology and communications costs, including our accelerated technology investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $16.0 million in certain legal and regulatory expenses, primarily in our U.S. Markets segment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of approximately $16.0 million from costs related to our operating model optimization program,

partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of approximately $7.0 million in integration costs of our business acquisitions, an initiative that was completed in 2023.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

*<u>Depreciation and amortization</u>*

For 2025, depreciation and amortization increased $37.0 million compared with 2024 due primarily to the increase in capital expenditures related to our accelerated technology investment initiative over the past three years and incremental intangible asset amortization from our recent acquisition.

For 2024, depreciation and amortization increased $13.3 million compared with 2023 due primarily to the increase in capital expenditures related to our accelerated technology investment initiative over the prior two years.

*<u>Goodwill impairment</u>*

For 2023, we recorded a partial goodwill impairment of $414.0 million related to our United Kingdom reporting unit. See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 5, "Goodwill," for additional information.

*<u>Restructuring</u>*

Restructuring expenses relate to our operating model optimization program. These expenses included $6.8 million, $24.7 million and $71.9 million of employee separation expenses for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Facility exit costs of $42.1 million, including a loss on early termination of a facility lease, and $3.4 million were included in restructuring expenses for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 10, "Restructuring," for additional information.

***Non-Operating Income and (Expense)***

*<u>Interest expense</u>*

For 2025, interest expense decreased $29.4 million compared with 2024. The decrease in 2025 was due to lower average interest rates resulting from refinancing transactions in 2024 and rate cuts in 2025 and 2024 and a decrease in the outstanding principal balance due to higher debt prepayments in 2024, partially offset by the replacement of our hedges.

For 2024, interest expense decreased $23.0 million compared with 2023. The decrease in 2024 was due primarily to a decrease in outstanding principal balance due to the prepayments and refinancing transactions made in 2023 and 2024, partially offset by an increase in the average periodic variable rate on the unhedged portion of our debt.

Approximately 75.5% and 71.6% of our debt is hedged with interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*<u>Interest income</u>*

The increase in interest income each period was due primarily to an increase in our average investment balances.

*<u>Other income and (expense), net</u>*

Other income and (expense), net includes acquisition fees, loan fees, and various other income and expenses.

Transition services agreement income relates to the support services that we provided to the purchaser of our healthcare business in 2023. Currency remeasurement losses, net consist of realized foreign currency gains and losses for transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the corresponding consolidated entity that were settled during the period. Miscellaneous non-operating income includes dividends received from our Cost Method Investments and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

Our effective tax rates were 26.9%, 24.6% and (30.8)% for 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The effective tax rate was higher in 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to the full year impact of a legal entity restructuring executed during the fourth quarter of 2024 to support the expansion of our global footprint and align with emerging global minimum tax requirements under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two framework, which increased our taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate was higher in 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily to the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairments causing a loss for income before taxes in 2023.

The OECD introduced the Pillar Two framework establishing a global minimum tax rate of 15% which has been adopted by numerous jurisdictions in 2024 and 2025. In January 2026, the OECD introduced the "side-by-side" framework, expected to apply for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, which is designed to reduce certain foreign top-up tax rules for eligible U.S.-parented groups. We will continue to monitor developments and evaluate any potential impacts on our results.

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin for our segments as the segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment gross revenue.

*<u>U.S. Markets Segment</u>*

*Revenue*

For 2025, U.S. Markets revenue increased $340.8 million, or 10.5%, compared with the same period in 2024. Revenue from Financial Services and Emerging Verticals increased $250.8 million, $103.4 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $13.3 million in the Consumer Interactive vertical as further discussed below.

For 2024, U.S. Markets revenue increased $245.1 million, or 8.2%, compared with the same period in 2023, due to growth in all verticals. Revenue from Financial Services, Emerging Verticals, and Consumer Interactive increased $188.9 million, $47.3 million, and $9.0 million, respectively, as further discussed below.

*Financial Services:* For 2025, Financial Services revenue increased $250.8 million, or 17.5%, compared to 2024. The Mortgage line of business grew due primarily to increased pricing. Our other lines of business also grew due

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

primarily to price and volume increases in our Auto line of business, and volume increases and new wins in our Consumer Lending and Card & Banking lines of business.

For 2024, Financial Services revenue increased $188.9 million, or 15.2%, compared with 2023. A majority of the growth in Financial Services came from our Mortgage line of business, due primarily to increases in price and batch activity. Our other lines of business also grew due primarily to an increase in batch activity and price increases in our Auto line of business, partially offset by a decrease in volumes.

*Emerging Verticals:* For 2025, Emerging Verticals revenue increased $103.4 million, or 8.5%, compared with 2024, due primarily to increases in Insurance and most other verticals from volume increases across online and batch services, new business wins and pricing increases.

For 2024, Emerging Verticals revenue increased $47.3 million, or 4.0%, compared to 2023, due primarily to increases in the Insurance and the Technology, Retail and E-Commerce verticals from new business wins and an increase in volumes.

*Consumer Interactive:* For 2025, Consumer Interactive revenue decreased $13.3 million, or 2.3%, compared with 2024, due to large breach revenue in 2024, partially offset by volume growth and revenue from our acquisition of Monevo.

For 2024, Consumer Interactive revenue increased $9.0 million, or 1.5%, compared with 2023, due primarily to an increase in breach remediation revenue, partially offset by a decrease in our Direct channel from slowing demand for paid credit products.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

For 2025, Adjusted EBITDA increased $123.8 million due primarily to an increase in revenue, partially offset by higher variable product and fulfillment costs and other operating costs. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased 0.2% due primarily to product and fulfillment costs outpacing revenue growth in the mix of revenues and higher cloud-computing and other technology costs.

For 2024, Adjusted EBITDA increased $113.8 million due primarily to an increase in revenue and a decrease in labor costs from our operating model optimization program, partially offset by higher variable product and fulfillment costs, an increase in annual incentive compensation, and an increase in litigation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 0.7% due primarily to high-margin revenue growth and realization of cost savings from the transformation plan.

*<u>International Segment</u>*

*Revenue*

For 2025, International revenue increased $52.5 million, or 5.5%, compared with 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher local currency revenue in all regions except for Asia Pacific, driven by increased volumes from improving economic conditions in most regions and new product initiatives. The acquisition of Monevo contributed 1.5% of the increase. This was partially offset by a decrease of 0.7% from the impact of foreign currencies.

For 2024, International revenue increased $108.1 million, or 12.7%, compared with 2023.

For 2024, Canada revenue increased $13.9 million, or 9.9%, compared with 2023. The increase was due primarily to higher local currency revenue from broad-based volume increases, new business wins, and increased batch and breach remediation services, partially offset by a decrease of 1.6% from the impact of foreign currencies.

*Latin America:* For 2025, Latin America revenue increased slightly compared with 2024. Local currency revenue increased, compared with 2024, primarily due to higher batch services across several of our regions, new business wins and volume increases partially offset by a decrease of 1.4% from the impact of foreign currencies.

For 2024, Latin America revenue increased $12.9 million, or 10.6%, compared with 2023. The increase was due primarily to higher local currency revenue from broad-based growth across several of our markets, partially offset by a decrease of 1.4% from the impact of foreign currencies.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

*United Kingdom:* For 2025, United Kingdom revenue increased $41.9 million, or 18.4%, compared with 2024. The increase was due primarily to an increase of 6.3% from revenue of our acquisition of Monevo, volume increases and new business wins, and an increase of 3.6% from the impact of foreign currencies.

For 2024, United Kingdom revenue increased $11.1 million, or 5.1%, compared with 2023. The increase was due primarily to volume and batch increases and an increase of 2.6% from the impact of foreign currencies, partially offset by the impact of a drop in volume from a one-time contract in the prior year.

*Africa:* For 2025, Africa revenue increased $7.7 million, or 11.7%, compared to 2024. The increase was due primarily to new business wins as well as volume growth in emerging countries and emerging verticals, and an increase of 2.4% from the impact of foreign currencies.

For 2024, Africa revenue increased $5.8 million, or 9.5%, compared to 2023. The increase was due primarily to meaningful new business wins and contract renewals as well as volume growth in emerging countries and emerging verticals, partially offset by a decrease of 0.3% from the impact of foreign currencies.

*India:* For 2025, India revenue decreased $5.2 million, or 1.9%, compared to 2024. Local currency revenue increased, compared with 2024, due primarily to new business wins and higher commercial volumes, partially offset by a decrease of 4.0% from the impact of foreign currencies.

For 2024, India revenue increased $50.6 million, or 23.1%, compared to 2023. The increase was due primarily to higher local currency revenue from strong, broad-based growth across all aspects of the business, including online, batch, consumer and commercial volumes, partially offset by a decrease of 1.6% from the impact of foreign currencies.

*Asia Pacific:* For 2025, Asia Pacific revenue decreased $5.2 million, or 4.9%, compared to 2024. The decrease was due primarily to prior year one-time contracts and current year price decreases, partially offset by strong growth in volumes in the Philippines. The impact of foreign currencies resulted in a decrease of 0.1%.

For 2024, Asia Pacific revenue increased $13.9 million, or 15.1%, compared to 2023. The increase was due primarily to strong growth in the Philippines across key banking clients, along with growth in Hong Kong from our FinTech and other clients, partially offset by one-time batch jobs in prior year and a decrease of 0.7% from the impact of foreign currencies

*Adjusted EBITDA*

For 2025, Adjusted EBITDA increased $15.0 million due primarily to increased revenue in most regions as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in expenses due to the increase in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased 0.8% due primarily to a shift in the mix of revenues.

For 2024, Adjusted EBITDA increased $58.0 million due primarily to increased revenue in India and other regions as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in annual incentive compensation.

**Non-GAAP Measures—Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023**

In addition to the financial measures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") discussed above, management, including our CODM, evaluates the financial performance of our businesses based on the non-GAAP measures 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.

***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 (loss) 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 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 (loss) attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Discontinued operations, net of tax,* as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We exclude discontinued operations, net of tax because we believe it does not reflect the underlying and ongoing performance of our business operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Net interest expense* is the sum of interest expense and interest income as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Provision for income taxes,* as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Depreciation and amortization,* as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Goodwill impairment,* as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We exclude goodwill impairment because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations during that period and such expense can vary significantly between periods.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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 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, (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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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 represents 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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." 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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) 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 (loss) attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Discontinued operations, net of tax* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Stock-based compensation* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Goodwill impairment* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Mergers and acquisitions, divestiture and business optimization* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Accelerated technology investment* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Operating model optimization program* (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *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

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

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 from continuing operations before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income from continuing operations 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 (loss) from continuing operations 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, these non-GAAP measures were as follows:

*<u>Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA</u>*

For 2025, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased $139.6 million compared to 2024, due primarily to an increase in revenue and the realization of cost savings from the transformation plan, partially offset by higher product costs due to the growth in revenue compared to 2024.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin was flat in 2025 due primarily to decreases in adjusted EBITDA margin in our segments as discussed above, partially offset by the realization of cost savings from the transformation plan.

For 2024, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased $162.6 million compared to 2023, due primarily to an increase in revenue and the realization of cost savings from the transformational plan, partially offset by higher product costs and higher incentive compensation compared to 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased in 2024 due primarily to an increase in high margin revenue and realization of cost savings from the transformation plan.

*<u>Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes</u>*

Our adjusted tax rates were 26.5%, 23.9%, and 22.0% for 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. The adjusted tax rate was higher in 2025 and 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily to the impact of a legal entity restructuring executed during the fourth quarter of 2024 to support the expansion of our global footprint and align with emerging global minimum tax requirements under the OECD Pillar Two framework, which increased our taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.We define Leverage Ratio as net debt divided by Leverage Ratio Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the table above.

Our Leverage Ratio decreased in 2025 compared with 2024 due primarily to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA. Our Leverage Ratio decreased in 2024 compared with 2023 due primarily to a decrease in debt due to our continued prepayments and scheduled repayments made throughout the year, an increase in cash due to cash generated from operations and an increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview***

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit. Our principal uses of liquidity are working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other capital allocation initiatives, and other general corporate purposes. We believe our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and funds available under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit will be sufficient to fund our planned capital expenditures, debt service and other capital allocation initiatives, and operating needs for the foreseeable future. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations in the future is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue, macroeconomic conditions, our ability to contain costs, including capital expenditures, and to collect accounts receivable, and various other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will continue to monitor our liquidity position and may elect to raise funds through debt or equity financing in the future to fund significant investments or acquisitions that are consistent with our growth strategy.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $853.6 million and $679.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $451.9 million and $432.2 million was held outside the United States in each respective period. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and an available borrowing balance of $598.8 million.

We also have the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the existing Senior Secured Credit Facility up to the greater of an additional $1,000.0 million and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA. In addition, as long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25-to-1, we may incur additional incremental loans, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings.

Each year, we may be required to make additional principal payments on the Senior Secured Term Loan B based on excess cash flows of the prior year, as defined in our credit agreement. There were no excess cash flows for 2025 and therefore no additional payment will be required in 2026. See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 12, "Debt," for additional information about our debt.

With certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investments in subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior secured net leverage test must be met as a condition to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, and may be required to make certain restricted payments. The senior secured net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.5-to-1 at any such measurement date.

We paid dividends of $0.46 per share in 2025, totaling $90.5 million. Dividends declared accrue to outstanding restricted stock units and are paid to employees as dividend equivalents when the restricted stock units vest. While we currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on a number of factors, including our liquidity, results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our Board deems appropriate. We currently have capacity and intend to continue to pay a quarterly dividend, subject to approval by our Board.

On February 11, 2025, our Board authorized the 2025 Repurchase Plan. This new share repurchase authorization replaces all previous authorizations. On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the 2025 Repurchase Plan authorization to $1.0 billion (including amounts repurchased as of such date under the original 2025 Repurchase Plan). As of December 31, 2025, $700.1 million remains available for repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.

We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. Repurchases may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason and the share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Any repurchased shares will be retired and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

*Operating Activities*

For 2025, the increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved operating performance, lower interest expense and a penalty paid for the early termination of a facility lease in 2024, partially offset by higher income tax payments and higher bonus payouts in 2025. For 2024, the increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved operating performance and lower net interest expense, partially offset by employee separation payments and a penalty paid for the early termination of a facility lease, both of which were in connection with our operating model optimization program.

*Investing Activities*

For 2025, the increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to our acquisition of Monevo, an increase in capital expenditures and current year investments in a convertible note receivable, partially offset by proceeds from a note receivable associated with a prior year divestiture. For 2024, the decrease in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to a decrease in investments in nonconsolidated affiliates.

*Financing Activities*

The increase in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to share repurchases in 2025, partially offset by higher debt prepayments in 2024. For 2024, the decrease in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to a decrease in debt payments.

***Capital Expenditures***

We make capital expenditures to grow our business by developing new and enhanced capabilities, to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization and to reduce risks. We make capital expenditures for product development, disaster recovery, security enhancements, regulatory compliance, and the replacement and upgrade of existing equipment at the end of its useful life.

For 2025, cash paid for capital expenditures increased $10.2 million to $326.0 million. For 2024, cash paid for capital expenditures increased $5.1 million to $315.8 million. Cash paid for capital expenditures as a percent of revenue represented 7.1% and 7.5% for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Debt***

*Hedges*

During 2025, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on June 30, 2025 and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,238.1 million that amortizes each quarter. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.2893% and 3.6920% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2024, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on December 31, 2024, and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,082.8 million that amortizes each quarter beginning the first quarter 2025. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.0650% and 3.9925% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

On November 16, 2022, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The new swaps

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

commenced on December 30, 2022, and expired on December 31, 2024. We designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

On December 23, 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on December 31, 2021, and expire on December 31, 2026, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,536.0 million that amortizes each quarter. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 1.3800% and 1.3915% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

On March 10, 2020, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fixed our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt. The first swap commenced on June 30, 2020, and expired on June 30, 2022. The second swap commenced on June 30, 2022, and expired on June 30, 2025. We designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

*Effect of Certain Debt Covenants*

A breach of any of the covenants under the agreements governing our debt could limit our ability to borrow funds under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit and could result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and the lenders could terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay the amounts declared due, the lenders could proceed against any collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness.

With certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior secured net leverage test must be met as a condition to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, and may be required to make certain restricted payments. The senior secured net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.5-to-1 at any such measurement date. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, TransUnion may make dividend payments up to the greater of $100 million or 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA per year, or an unlimited amount provided that no default or event of default exists and so long as the total net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75-to-1. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

On February 11, 2026, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion. All other key terms of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

Our ability to meet our liquidity needs or to pay dividends on our common stock depends on our subsidiaries' earnings, the terms of their indebtedness, and other contractual restrictions.

For additional information about our debt and hedge, see Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 12, "Debt."

***Contractual Obligations***

Refer to Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 12, "Debt," Note 13, "Leases" and Note 19, "Commitments," for information about our long-term debt obligations, noncancelable lease obligations, and noncancelable purchase obligations as of December 31, 2025.

**Application of Critical Accounting Estimates**

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies," for additional information about our significant accounting policies that require us to make certain judgments and estimates in reporting our operating results and our assets and liabilities. The following paragraphs describe the accounting policies that require significant judgment and estimates due to inherent uncertainty or complexity.

***Goodwill***

As of December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Balance Sheet included goodwill of $5,259.5 million. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and monitor throughout the year for impairment triggering events that indicate that the carrying value of one or more of our reporting units exceeds its fair value. We have the option to first perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that an impairment is more likely than not for any reporting unit, we perform a

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative analysis for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing a quantitative impairment test.

Our quantitative impairment test consists of a fair value calculation for each reporting unit that combines an income approach, using the discounted cash flow method, and a market approach, using the guideline public company method. The quantitative impairment test requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and market multiples. The projected future revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, and the resulting projected cash flows of each reporting unit are based on historical experience and internal operating plans reviewed by management, extrapolated over the forecast period. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for risk factors specific to each reporting unit. Market multiples are based on the Guideline Public Company Method using comparable publicly traded company multiples of EBITDA for a group of benchmark companies.

We believe the assumptions that we use in our impairment analysis are reasonable and consistent with assumptions that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, such assumptions are inherently uncertain, and a change in assumptions could change the estimated fair values of our reporting units and, therefore, future impairment charges could be required, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. In order to ensure the assumptions used in the analysis are reasonable, we reconcile the sum of the fair value of the reporting units to our market capitalization adjusted for an estimated control premium.

When we perform a quantitative impairment test, we engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist in our analysis of the fair value of our reporting units. All judgments, significant assumptions and estimates, and forecasts are either provided by or reviewed by us. While we choose to utilize a third-party valuation specialist for assistance, the fair value analyses reflect the conclusions of management and not those of any third party.

*<u>Third Quarter 2023 Interim Impairment Test for United Kingdom Reporting Unit</u>*

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the worsening macroeconomic conditions from inflationary pressures and rising interest rates increasingly impacted our United Kingdom business for the third quarter and the near-term outlook, creating a triggering event that required an interim impairment assessment which resulted in a goodwill impairment of $414.0 million for our United Kingdom reporting unit.

*<u>Annual Impairment Test</u>*

For our 2025 annual goodwill impairment test, we performed a qualitative test on certain reporting units and elected to bypass the qualitative test and performed a quantitative test for other reporting units. The results of our qualitative tests did not identify any factors that suggest it was more likely than not the fair value of any of these reporting units was less than its carrying value For all of the reporting units subject to a quantitative test the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 10%.

***Legal Contingencies***

We are routinely named as defendants in, or parties to, various legal actions and proceedings relating to our current or past business operations. These actions generally assert claims for violations of federal or state credit reporting, consumer protection or privacy laws, or common law claims related to the unfair treatment of consumers, and may include claims for substantial or indeterminate compensatory or punitive damages, or injunctive relief, and may seek business practice changes. We believe that most of these claims are either without merit or we have valid defenses to the claims, and we vigorously defend these matters or seek non-monetary or small monetary settlements, if possible. However, due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of each claim in each instance.

In the ordinary course of business, we also are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal), certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by these regulators, we routinely receive requests, subpoenas and orders seeking documents, testimony, and other information in connection with various aspects of our activities.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of legal and regulatory matters, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings or investigations are in the early stages, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty the timing or ultimate resolution of legal and regulatory matters or the eventual loss, fines or penalties, if any, that may result from such matters. We establish reserves for legal and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. However, for certain of the matters, we are not able to reasonably estimate our exposure because damages have not been specified and (i) the proceedings are in early stages, (ii) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class, (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of similar matters pending against our competitors, (iv) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (v) there are legal issues of a first impression being presented. The actual costs of resolving legal and regulatory matters, however, may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved for those matters, and an adverse outcome in certain of these matters

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in particular quarterly or annual periods. We accrue amounts for certain legal and regulatory matters for which losses were considered to be probable of occurring based on our best estimate of the most likely outcome. It is reasonably possible actual losses could be significantly different from our current estimates. In addition, there are some matters for which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur, however we cannot estimate a range of the potential losses for these matters. Legal fees incurred in connection with ongoing legal and regulatory matters are considered a period cost and are expensed as incurred.

To reduce our exposure to an unexpected significant monetary award resulting from an adverse judicial decision, we maintain insurance that we believe is appropriate and adequate based on our historical experience. We regularly advise our insurance carriers of the claims, threatened or pending, against us in legal and regulatory matters and generally receive a reservation of rights letter from the carriers when such claims exceed applicable deductibles. We are not aware of any significant monetary claim that has been asserted against us, except for the pending matter with the CFPB, that would not have some level of coverage by insurance after the relevant deductible, if any, is met.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $62.2 million and $123.5 million, respectively, accrued for anticipated claims. These amounts are included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the associated expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Legal fees incurred in connection with ongoing litigation are considered period costs and are expensed as incurred.

See Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 20, "Contingencies," for further information.

***Income Taxes***

As of December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Balance Sheet included non-current deferred tax liabilities of $389.8 million. Certain deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards, may be deducted from future taxable income in computing our federal income tax liability. Our deferred tax liability includes deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences.

We have made certain judgments and estimates to determine various tax amounts recorded, including future tax rates, future taxable income, whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained, and the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit to record. We have total deferred tax assets of $409.4 million, net of valuation allowances of $80.3 million. Our estimate of the amount of the deferred tax asset we can realize requires significant assumptions about projected revenues and income that are impacted by future market and economic conditions. We believe the judgments and estimates used are reasonable, but events may arise that were not anticipated and the outcome of tax audits may differ significantly from what is expected.

See Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 15, "Income Taxes," for further information.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

For information about recent accounting pronouncements and the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, see Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies."

**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in variable interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial position. We manage the exposure to this market risk through our regular operating and financing activities. We may use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency and interest rate hedges, but only as a risk management tool and not for speculative or trading purposes.

***Interest Rate Risk***

As of December 31, 2025, our Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of senior secured term loans and a $600.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit. The variable interest rates on these borrowings are based, at our election, on SOFR or an alternate base rate, subject to floors, plus applicable margins based on applicable net leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2025, essentially all of our outstanding debt was variable-rate debt, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.42% and a weighted-average life of 4.9 years. Approximately 75.5% of our variable-rate debt is hedged with interest rate swaps. During 2025, a 10% change in the average Term SOFR rates utilized in the calculation of our actual interest expense, would have increased our interest expense by approximately $5.4 million for the year.

Based on the amount of unhedged outstanding variable-rate debt, we have a material exposure to interest rate risk. In the future, our exposure to interest rate risk may change due to changes in the amount borrowed, changes in interest rates, or changes in the amount we have hedged. The amount of our outstanding debt, and the ratio of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt, can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions or other factors.

See Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 12, "Debt," for additional information about interest rates on our debt.

***Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk***

A substantial majority of our revenue, expense and capital expenditure activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we transact business in a number of foreign currencies, including British pounds sterling, the South African rand, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee, the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real. In addition, in November 2025 we entered into a foreign currency forward contract to economically hedge our exposure of a portion of the purchase price for our pending acquisition of a majority interest in Trans Union de Mexico, which is denominated in Mexican pesos. In reporting the results of our foreign operations, we benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies.

We are required to translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are measured in foreign currencies at the applicable period-end exchange rate in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are required to translate revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The resulting translation adjustment is included in other comprehensive income, as a component of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income and (expense), net as incurred.

In 2025, revenue attributable to our International segment was $1,011.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to our International segment was $440.5 million. A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of the currencies for all foreign countries in which we had operations during 2025 would have changed our revenue by $101.1 million and our Adjusted EBITDA by $44.0 million. We derive an insignificant amount of international revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from our U.S. Markets segment.

A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of currencies for all foreign countries in which we had operations would not have had a significant impact on our 2025 realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of TransUnion

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TransUnion and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Revenue Recognition – Certain Revenues within the U.S. Markets Segment* 

As described in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's total revenue was $4.6 billion, of which $3.6 billion related to revenues within the U.S. Markets segment. The Company has contracts with two general groups of performance obligations; those that require the Company to stand ready to provide goods and services to a customer to use as and when requested ("Stand Ready Performance Obligations") and those that do not require the Company to stand ready ("Other Performance Obligations"). Most of the Company's Stand Ready Performance Obligations consist of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same monthly pattern of transfer to its customers. The Company considers each month of service in this time series to be a distinct performance obligation and, accordingly, recognizes revenue over time. For a majority of these Stand Ready Performance Obligations, the total contractual price is variable because the Company's obligation is to process an unknown quantity of transactions, as and when requested by customers, over the contract period. Management allocates the variable price to each month of service using the time-series concept and recognizes revenue based on the most likely amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled, which is generally the amount the Company has the right to invoice. This monthly amount can be based on the actual volume of units delivered or a guaranteed minimum, if higher. Occasionally the Company has contracts where the amount it will be entitled to for the transactions processed is uncertain, in which case management estimates the revenue based on what management considers to be the most likely amount of consideration the Company will be entitled to and adjust any estimates as facts and circumstances evolve. Certain of the Company's Other Performance Obligations are delivered at a point in time. Accordingly, revenue is recognized upon delivery once the Company has satisfied that obligation.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition related to certain revenues within the U.S. Markets segment is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over recognizing certain revenues within the U.S. Markets segment. These procedures also included, among others, (i) evaluating the revenue recognized on a sample basis by (a) obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as customer contracts, invoices, usage data, and cash receipts and (b) recalculating revenue recognized based on the terms of the related contract and usage data; and (ii) confirming a sample of outstanding customer invoice balances and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as customer contracts, invoices, and subsequent cash receipts.

**TRANSUNION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023** 

(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

**1. Significant Accounting Policies**

***Description of Business***

TransUnion is a leading global information and insights company that makes trust possible between businesses and consumers, helping people around the world access opportunities that can lead to a higher quality of life. We have built robust data and analytics assets for a large portion of the adult population in the markets we serve. We use our platform to connect these disparate data assets and concentrate them on a single, layered and unified environment, enabling more persistent identity resolution with sharper, more contextualized insights. We use these insights, combined with our industry expertise, to develop impactful solutions to solve customers' needs, including credit risk, marketing, and fraud mitigation.

Our solutions enable businesses to manage and measure credit risk, market to new and existing customers, verify consumer identities, and mitigate fraud. Businesses embed our solutions into their workflows to deliver critical insights and enable effective actions. Consumers use our solutions to view their credit profiles, access analytical tools that help them understand and manage their personal financial information and take precautions against identity theft. We have a global presence across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of TransUnion and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Our consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of stockholders' equity. As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the financial statements and footnote tables.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference in this report to the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and "its" refers to TransUnion and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

For the periods presented, TransUnion does not have any material assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or operations of any kind other than its ownership investment in TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The consolidated financial statements of TransUnion include the accounts of TransUnion and all of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

***Investments in Affiliated Companies***

Investments in affiliated companies represent our investments in non-consolidated domestic and foreign entities. These entities operate in businesses similar to ours.

Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. For equity method investments, we adjust the carrying value for our proportionate share of the affiliates' earnings, losses and distributions, as well as for purchases and sales of our ownership interest.

Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our "Cost Method Investments," are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a substantially similar investment of the same issuer. We adjust the carrying value for any purchases or sales of our ownership interests. We record any dividends received from these investments as other income in other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 8, "Investments in Affiliated Companies," for a further discussion.

***Variable Interest Entities***

At inception, we determine whether an entity in which we have made an investment in or have other variable interest arrangements with is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). We are required to consolidate any VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We are the primary beneficiary of a VIE if we have the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb a portion of the losses or benefits that are significant to the VIE. If we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we account for the investment or other variable interests

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

in the VIE in accordance with other applicable GAAP. When events or circumstances change our variable interests or relationships with any of these entities, we reassess our determination of whether they are a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. We have a variable interest in one unconsolidated variable interest entity. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had exposure to loss of approximately $49.5 million and $35.3 million, respectively, consisting primarily of the carrying value of our investment and various notes and accounts receivable from this entity.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We believe that the estimates used in preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are reasonable, based upon information available to management at this time. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are inherently uncertain and actual results could differ materially from the estimated amounts.

***Share Repurchase Plan***

On February 11, 2025, our Board of Directors ("Board") authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock (the "2025 Repurchase Plan"). On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the share repurchase plan authorization to $1.0 billion (including amounts repurchased as of such date under the 2025 Repurchase Plan). Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion, at prices management considers to be attractive, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, hybrid open market repurchases or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, subject to availability. Open market purchases are conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and other applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, are at the discretion of management. The 2025 Repurchase Plan does not have an expiration date.

Repurchased shares are retired, resulting in a reduction to common stock at par with the remainder to additional paid-in capital. Once repurchased, the shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company and reduce the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3,577,000 shares of common stock for a total of $302.0 million, including commissions and excise taxes, under the 2025 Repurchase Plan. The average price paid to repurchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $84.45. As of December 31, 2025, $700.1 million remains available for repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.

***Segments***

Operating segments are businesses for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We have two operating and reportable segments; U.S. Markets and International. We also report expenses for Corporate, which provides support services to each segment. Details of our segment results are discussed in Note 18, "Reportable Segments."

***Foreign Currency Translation***

The functional currency for each of our foreign subsidiaries is generally that subsidiary's local currency. We translate the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries at the period-end exchange rate, and translate revenues and expenses at the monthly average rates during the year. We record the resulting translation adjustment as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of an entity are included in the results of operations as incurred. The exchange rate gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

***Revenue Recognition***

All of our revenue is derived from contracts with our customers and is reported as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations generally as or at the point in time our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. We have contracts with two general groups of performance obligations; those that require us to stand ready to provide goods and services to a customer to use as and when requested ("Stand Ready Performance Obligations") and those that do not require us to stand ready ("Other Performance Obligations"). Our Stand Ready Performance Obligations include obligations to stand ready to provide data, process transactions, access our databases, software-as-a-service and direct-to-consumer products, rights to use our intellectual property and other services. Our Other Performance Obligations include the sale of certain batch data sets and various professional and other services.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

Most of our Stand Ready Performance Obligations consist of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same monthly pattern of transfer to our customers. We consider each month of service in this time series to be a distinct performance obligation and, accordingly, recognize revenue over time. For a majority of these Stand Ready Performance Obligations, the total contractual price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of transactions, as and when requested by our customers, over the contract period. We allocate the variable price to each month of service using the time-series concept and recognize revenue based on the most likely amount of consideration to which we will be entitled**,** which is generally the amount we have the right to invoice. This monthly amount can be based on the actual volume of units delivered or a guaranteed minimum, if higher. Occasionally we have contracts where the amount we will be entitled to for the transactions processed is uncertain, in which case we estimate the revenue based on what we consider to be the most likely amount of consideration we will be entitled to and adjust any estimates as facts and circumstances evolve.

For all contracts that include a Stand Ready Performance Obligation with variable pricing, we are unable to estimate the variable price attributable to future performance obligations because the number of units to be purchased is not known. As a result, we use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to the future performance obligations where we recognize revenue using the time-series concept as discussed above, including those qualifying for the right to invoice practical expedient. We also use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to contracts with expected durations of one year or less.

Certain of our Other Performance Obligations, including certain batch data sets and certain professional and other services, are delivered at a point in time. Accordingly, we recognize revenue upon delivery once we have satisfied that obligation. For certain Other Performance Obligations, including certain professional and other services, we recognize revenue over time, based on an estimate of progress towards completion of that obligation. Other Performance Obligations are not material.

In certain circumstances, we apply the revenue recognition guidance to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics. We use estimates and assumptions when accounting for a portfolio that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio of contracts.

Our contracts include standard commercial payment terms generally acceptable in each region, and do not include financing with extended payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties, or similar obligations. Our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.

Deferred revenue generally consists of amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized for the sale of data services, subscriptions and set up fees. The current and long-term portions of deferred revenue are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities.

See Note 14, "Revenue," for further details.

***Costs of Services***

Costs of services includes data acquisition and royalty fees, personnel costs related to our databases and software applications, consumer and call center support costs, hardware and software maintenance costs, telecommunication expenses and data center costs.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes personnel-related costs for sales, administrative and management employees, costs for professional and consulting services, advertising and facilities expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which include fees we pay to our partners to promote our products online, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $65.1 million, $61.4 million and $64.2 million, respectively.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

Compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards is determined using the grant date fair value. For all equity-based plans, we record the impact of forfeitures when they occur. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equal to the vesting period.

We generally issue service-based restricted stock units that vest based on the passage of time and performance-based restricted stock units that vest based on the achievement of 3-year cumulative revenue and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted EPS") targets, and market-based relative total stockholder return ("TSR") based on how our stock price performs relative to a benchmark of similar companies over a three-year period. Vesting of both restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is contingent on continued employment. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2024, we issued performance-based restricted stock units that vest based on the achievement of Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") targets instead of Adjusted EPS targets. Service-based awards generally vest over 3.5 years. Performance-based awards generally vest over 3 years and the number of shares which could potentially be issued ranges from zero to 250% of the target award. We occasionally issue off-cycle or special grants that could have different performance measurements and vesting terms.

The closing market price of our stock on the date of grant is used to determine the grant date fair value for our restricted stock units except those that are subject to market performance. A risk-neutral Monte-Carlo simulation model based on input assumptions that exist as of the date of each grant is used to determine the fair value of awards based on TSR. The primary input assumptions utilized in determining the grant date fair value of the restricted stock units based on TSR are the expected stock volatility for the Company and the benchmark group of companies, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yields, and correlations between our stock price and the stock prices of the peer group of companies.

The details of our stock-based compensation program are discussed in Note 16, "Stock-Based Compensation."

***Benefit Plans***

We maintain a defined-contribution savings plan for eligible employees. We provide a partial matching contribution based on a participant's eligible contributions and may provide an annual discretionary contribution. Contributions to this plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $33.2 million, $36.9 million and $34.7 million, respectively.

***Restructuring***

Restructuring expenses consist of employee-separation costs, including severance and other benefits calculated based on long-standing benefit practices and local statutory requirements. In some jurisdictions, the Company has ongoing benefit arrangements under which the Company records estimated severance and other termination benefits when such costs are deemed probable and estimable, approved by the appropriate corporate management, and if actions required to complete the termination plan indicate it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. Severance and other termination benefits for which there is not an ongoing benefit arrangement are recorded when appropriate corporate management has committed to the plan and the benefit arrangement is communicated to the affected employees. In addition, restructuring expenses include a loss on early termination of leased facility assets which are abandoned in connection with such terminations. See Note 10, "Restructuring," for additional information.

***Income Taxes***

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. We periodically assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 15, "Income Taxes," for additional information.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

We consider investments in highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

***Concentration of Risk***

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash balances are primarily on deposit at high credit quality institutions or invested in money market funds. These deposits are typically in excess of insured limits. We have established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities for maintaining safety and liquidity.

***Trade Accounts Receivable***

We base our allowance for doubtful accounts estimate on our historical loss experience, our current expectations of future losses, current economic conditions, an analysis of the aging of outstanding receivables and customer payment patterns, and specific reserves for customers in adverse financial condition or for existing contractual disputes.

The following is a roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Years Ended December 31, | Years Ended December 31, | Years Ended December 31, |
| | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Beginning Balance | $19.9 | $16.4 | $11.0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provision for losses on trade accounts receivable | 17.7 | 18.7 | 8.8 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Write-offs, net of recovered accounts | (9.9) | (15.2) | (3.4) |
| Ending balance | $27.7 | $19.9 | $16.4 |

---

***Marketable Securities***

We classify our investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with our intent and ability to hold the investments. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as either short-term or long-term investments based on the contractual maturity date. Earnings from these securities are reported as a component of interest income. Available-for-sale securities, if any, are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's marketable securities consisted of available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale securities relate to foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds. There were no significant realized or unrealized gains or losses for these securities for any of the periods presented. We follow fair value guidance to measure the fair value of our financial assets as further described in Note 17, "Fair Value."

We periodically review our marketable securities to determine if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on any security. If it is determined that an other-than-temporary decline in value exists, we write down the investment to its market value and record the related impairment loss in other income. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

***Contract Acquisition Costs***

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. We use a portfolio approach to amortize capitalized contract acquisition costs on a straight-line basis over five years, which reflects the estimated average period of benefit and is consistent with the transfer of our services to our customer to which the contract relates. We classify capitalized contract acquisition costs as current or noncurrent based on the timing of expense recognition. The current and noncurrent portions are included in other current assets and other assets, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative within our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had capitalized contract acquisition costs of $78.4 million and $60.4 million, respectively, which have been included in other current assets and other assets in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we amortized $19.0 million, $12.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of capitalized contract acquisition costs to selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Business Combinations***

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination generally be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill. The results of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

operations of these acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. See Note 2, "Business Acquisition," for further details.

***Long-Lived Assets***

*Property, Plant, Equipment*

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated primarily using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and building improvements are generally depreciated over 20 years. Computer equipment and furniture and purchased software are depreciated over 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. We write off the gross cost and accumulated depreciation of assets that are disposed of or no longer in use. See Note 4, "Property, Plant and Equipment" for additional information about these assets.

*Definite-Lived Intangible Assets*

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, at relative fair value if acquired as part of an asset acquisition, or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination, and amortized over their estimated useful lives. All intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern of benefit. Database and credit files are generally amortized over a 12- to 15-year period. Internal use software is generally amortized over 3- to 10-year period. Customer relationships are amortized over a 10- to 20-year period. Trademarks primarily consist of the TransUnion trade name, which is being amortized over a 40-year useful life, and the remaining trademark assets are generally amortized over a shorter period based on their estimated useful life, which ranges between 1 and 20 years. Copyrights, patents, noncompete and other agreements are amortized over varying periods based on their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are subsequently removed from the presentation of gross cost and accumulated amortization once they are no longer in use or become fully amortized. See Note 6, "Intangible Assets" for additional information.

For internal use software, we monitor the activities of each of our system development projects and analyze the associated costs, making an appropriate distinction between costs to be expensed and costs to be capitalized. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Many of the costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized, including costs of software design and configuration, development of interfaces, coding, testing and installation of the software. We begin to amortize the software once it is ready for its intended use.

*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets*

We review long-lived asset groups that are subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. There were no significant impairment charges recorded during 2025, 2024 and 2023.

***Goodwill***

Other than goodwill, we have no other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill is allocated to our reporting units, which are an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. We conduct an impairment test annually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired.

We have the option to first perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that an impairment is more likely than not for any reporting unit, we perform a quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. We have the option to bypass the qualitative analysis for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing a quantitative impairment test.

When we perform a quantitative impairment test, we use a combination of an income approach, using the discounted cash flow method, and a market approach, using the guideline public company method, to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. For each reporting unit, we compare the fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we record an impairment charge based on that difference, up to the amount of goodwill recorded in that reporting unit.

The quantitative impairment test requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, discount rates, and market multiples. The projected future revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, and the resulting projected cash flows of each reporting unit are based on historical experience and internal operating plans reviewed by management, extrapolated over the forecast period. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for risk factors specific to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

each reporting unit. Market multiples are based on the guideline public company method using comparable publicly traded company multiples of EBITDA for a group of benchmark companies.

See Note 5, "Goodwill," for additional information

***Leases***

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Our operating leases principally involve office space with fixed monthly lease payments that may also contain variable non-lease components consisting of common area maintenance, operating expenses, insurance and similar costs of the space that we occupy. We have adopted the practical expedient to not separate these non-lease components from the lease components and instead account for them as a single lease component for all of our leases. This practical expedient allows us to allocate the fixed lease components and the non-lease components based on the contractually stated amounts, with the fixed lease components included in our Right-of-Use ("ROU") lease assets and lease liability values. Variable payments are not included within the ROU lease assets or lease liabilities and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

We have options to extend many of our operating leases for an additional period of time and options to terminate several of our operating leases early. The lease term consists of the non-cancelable period of the lease, periods covered by options to extend the lease if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if we are reasonably certain not to exercise the option, and periods covered by an option to extend or not to terminate the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor.

On the commencement date of an operating lease, we record a ROU lease asset, which represents our right to use or control the use of the specified asset for the lease term, and an offsetting lease liability, which represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, based on the present value of the net fixed future lease payments due over the initial lease term. We have elected to use the portfolio approach to assess the discount rate we use to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. We use an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate for similarly rated debt issuers, at the inception of the lease or when the lease is assumed, as the discount rate to determine the present value of the net fixed future lease payments, except for leases where the interest rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable.

Lease accounting guidance requires us to expense the net fixed payments of operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We include any built up deferred or prepaid rent balance resulting from the difference between the straight-line expense and the cash payments as a component of our ROU lease asset. Also included in our ROU lease asset is any monthly prepayment of rent. Our rent expense is typically due on the first day of each month, and we typically pay rent several weeks before it is due, so at any given month end, we will have a prepaid rent balance that is included as a component of our ROU lease asset.

We have adopted an accounting policy to recognize rent expense for short-term leases, those leases with initial lease terms of twelve months or less, on a straight-line basis in our income statement. We have no significant short-term operating leases, finance leases, or subleases.

ROU lease assets are included in other assets, and operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment, and finance lease liabilities, if any, are included in the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For leases where we will derive no economic benefit from leased space that we have vacated, we recognize an impairment of right-of-use assets at the time we vacate. See Note 7, "Other Assets," Note 9, "Other Current Liabilities," Note 11, "Other Liabilities," Note 12, "Debt," and Note 13, "Leases," for additional information about these items.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. This ASU requires income tax disclosures to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliations and the disaggregation of income taxes paid by federal, state and foreign, and also for individual jurisdictions that are greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. We have adopted this standard prospectively for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 15, "Income Taxes," for additional information.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* This ASU requires disclosure within the notes to financial statements of specific information about certain costs and expenses including more detailed disclosures of certain categories of expenses such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization that are components of existing expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The update is effective for annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact adopting this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05*, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*. This ASU states that in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, an entity may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We have adopted this ASU for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2026. We do not expect that adopting this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*. This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as "project stages") and instead requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Additional updates include changes to accounting for website development costs and certain disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This ASU permits an entity to apply the new guidance using either a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption, or a retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU would have on our consolidated financial statements.

On November 25, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, *Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Hedge Accounting Improvements*. Among other changes, this ASU introduces an alternative hedge accounting model for cash flow hedges of interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, allowing entities to specify the alternative interest rate indexes and tenors that an entity may select as being hedged, without discontinuing hedge accounting. This update is effective for annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU would have on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements*. This ASU provides additional clarification on interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by GAAP. Further, this ASU includes a new disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have had a material impact. This includes material events and/or changes to items not listed as a required interim disclosure in Topic 270. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU would have on our financial statements.

**2. Business Acquisition**

In October 2021, we acquired a 30% equity interest in Monevo Limited ("Monevo"), which we accounted for as a Cost Method Investment. On April 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining 70% of the outstanding equity of Monevo and gained control of Monevo by exercising a call option we obtained when we made our initial investment. The strike price of the call option paid at closing was $56.0 million, which was funded with cash on hand. Cash acquired from Monevo in connection with the transaction was $0.3 million, resulting in a net cash payment of $55.7 million. There was no contingent consideration related to this transaction.

Monevo is a credit prequalification and distribution platform that empowers lenders and banks to deliver highly personalized credit offers to consumers via comparison websites and other third parties. Monevo's platform enables comparison websites and other online brands known as publishers to embed highly personalized credit offers, predominantly in the U.K. and U.S. markets.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We engaged in business activities with Monevo prior to the date of acquisition that were not material. The results of operations of Monevo subsequent to the acquisition date, which are not material, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are partially included within our U.S. Market segment and partially included within our International segment.

We accounted for the transaction as a step acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. Accordingly, we remeasured our initial 30% investment, including the call option and other related assets, at a fair value of $60.8 million, resulting in a non-taxable gain of $12.3 million recorded within other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total estimated purchase consideration of $115.7 million was principally comprised of the cash paid plus the fair value of our initial 30% investment, including the call option and other related assets. We used a combination of the discounted cash flow method and the guideline public company method to determine the overall fair value of Monevo. The gain recognized on our initial 30% equity interest and call option represents the difference between the fair value of Monevo, and the cash paid at closing plus the carrying values of our original 30% investment, the call option and other related assets.

Based on the preliminary purchase consideration allocation, we recognized $67.3 million of goodwill, $64.0 million of amortizable intangible assets consisting primarily of developed technology, and a deferred tax liability of $15.6 million. The remaining purchase price was allocated to other net assets of Monevo. We estimate the weighted-average useful lives of the amortizable intangible assets to be approximately 11 years.

The purchase price of the acquisition exceeded the fair value estimate of the net assets acquired due primarily to expected future revenue growth opportunities, synergies, operating efficiencies and the assembled workforce. None of the goodwill is tax deductible.

The total consideration for this acquisition is preliminary, pending final customary purchase price adjustments. The valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management's best estimates and assumptions as of December 31, 2025. We will complete the analysis of the total purchase consideration and allocation once we obtain the information necessary, which we expect to do within one year from the acquisition date.

We recognized cumulative transaction costs of $3.1 million related to the acquisition, including $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which we have recorded within other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**3. Other Current Assets**

Other current assets consisted of the following:

---

| | | |

**4. Property, Plant and Equipment**

Property, plant and equipment, including those acquired by finance lease, consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31,<br>2025 | December 31,<br>2024 |
| Computer equipment and furniture | $538.8 | $468.9 |
| Purchased software | 131.2 | 107.4 |

| Less: accumulated depreciation | (545.0) | (506.3) |
| Total property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation | $258.4 | $203.5 |

---

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, was $103.4 million, $89.0 million and $96.6 million, respectively. Non-cash capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $50.5 million, including third-party financing incurred to purchase certain long-lived assets as discussed in Note 12, "Debt," the effects of which are excluded from capital expenditures in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**5. Goodwill**

Our reporting units consist of U.S. Markets and Consumer Interactive within our U.S. Markets segment, and the geographic regions of the United Kingdom, Africa, Canada, Latin America, India and Asia Pacific within our International reportable segment.

For our 2025 annual goodwill impairment test, we performed a qualitative test on certain reporting units and elected to bypass the qualitative test and performed a quantitative test for other reporting units. We considered a variety of factors in our decision to perform a qualitative assessment for certain reporting units, including but not limited to, macro-economic conditions, share price performance, financial performance of each reporting unit, and the results of the most recent quantitative assessment. The results of our qualitative tests did not identify any factors that suggest it was more likely than not the fair value of any of these reporting units was less than its carrying value. For all of the reporting units subject to a quantitative test the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 10%.

There have been no triggering events during 2025 that have required us to re-evaluate whether any of our reporting units were impaired.

During 2023, we recorded an impairment of $414.0 million for our United Kingdom reporting unit. Other than the United Kingdom impairment charge recorded in 2023 there were no impairment charges recorded in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

In 2024, we reorganized our operations to merge our Consumer Interactive operating segment with our U.S. Markets operating segment. In addition, we changed the responsibility for certain international operations previously managed within the U.S. Markets segment to certain regions within the International segment. We reallocated goodwill between our reporting units accordingly as shown in the table below. Goodwill allocated to our reportable segments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the periods, which includes a reallocation of goodwill using the relative fair value allocation approach, consisted of the following:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | U.S. Markets | International | Consumer <br>Interactive | Total |
| Balance, December 31, 2023 | $3602.8 | $894.1 | $679.1 | $5176.0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reallocation of goodwill from segment reorganization | 655.6 | 23.5 | (679.1) |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign exchange rate adjustment | (0.8) | (30.9) |  | (31.7) |

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Gross | Accumulated Amortization | Net |
| Balance, December 31, 2024 | $5551.9 | $(2294.5) | $3257.5 |

| Balance, December 31, 2025 | $5814.8 | $(2716.3) | $3098.5 |

---

The weighted average lives of our intangibles is approximately 14 years as of December 31, 2025.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $471.4 million, $448.8 million and $427.8 million, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets at December 31, 2025 is as follows:

**7. Other Assets** 

Other assets consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31,<br>2025 | December 31,<br>2024 |
| Investments in affiliated companies (Note 2 and Note 8) | $232.6 | $279.9 |

| Other | 133.1 | 121.9 |
| Total other assets | $480.2 | $577.7 |

---

The decrease in investments in affiliated companies includes the removal of a previously held investment that we now consolidate as discussed in Note 2, "Business Acquisition." The decrease in interest rate swaps is due primarily to current year maturities and changes in market interest rates as discussed in Note 12, "Debt" and Note 17, "Fair Value."

**8. Investments in Affiliated Companies** 

Investments in affiliated companies, which are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, consisted of the following:

**9. Other Current Liabilities** 

Other current liabilities consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31,<br>2025 | December 31,<br>2024 |
| Accrued payroll and employee benefits | $273.6 | $269.8 |

| Other | 104.5 | 94.2 |
| Total other current liabilities | $607.6 | $694.4 |

The decrease in accrued legal and regulatory matters is due primarily to the dismissal of a lawsuit as further discussed in Note 20, "Contingencies." The decrease in income taxes payable is due primarily to an increase in income taxes paid in cash during the period as discussed in Note 15, "Income Taxes." Other includes a $12.0 million interest rate swap liability as discussed in Note 17, "Fair Value."

**10. Restructuring**

On November 12, 2023, our Board of Directors ("Board") approved a transformation plan to optimize our operating model and continue to advance our technology. The transformation plan includes an operating model optimization program that transitioned certain job responsibilities to global capability centers and reduced our facility footprint. When we announced the transformation plan, the Company expected to record pre-tax expenses associated with the operating model optimization program of approximately $155.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023 through the end of 2025, consisting of approximately $110.0 million of employee separation expenses and $45.0 million of facility exit expenses. We incurred a total of $149.0 million in connection with our operating model optimization program.

In 2024, as part of the transformation plan, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate a facility lease. The Company accounted for the agreement as a modification to the existing lease. The termination of the lease resulted in the payment of a $30.0 million early termination penalty during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognized a loss on early termination of the lease of $40.5 million, which includes expense of $12.4 million principally associated with leasehold improvements in connection with terminating the lease.

The following table summarizes the expenses recorded for each respective period:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Years Ended December 31, | Years Ended December 31, | Years Ended December 31, |
| | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |

***Senior Secured Credit Facility***

On June 15, 2010, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility with various lenders. This facility has been amended several times and currently consists of the Senior Secured Term Loan B-8, Senior Secured Term Loan B-9, Senior Secured Term Loan B-5, Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 (collectively, the "Senior Secured Term Loans"), and the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

On October 27, 2023, we executed Amendment No. 21 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay Senior Secured Term Loan A-3 in full, repay $300.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loan B-6, and pay the related financing fees and expenses. In addition, we increased the borrowing capacity on the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from $300.0 million to $600.0 million and extended the maturity date from December 10, 2024 to October 27, 2028. In connection with the refinancing, we expensed $5.9 million of the unamortized original issue discount, deferred financing fees, and other related fees to other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

2023. Additionally, we recorded incremental deferred financing fees of $4.8 million that will be amortized over the new loan term. Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 is a syndicated debt instrument. As a result of the refinancing, we repaid $347.7 million of principal to lenders who left the syndicate and received $655.8 million of principal from new or existing lenders.

On February 8, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 22 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-7 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay Senior Secured Term Loan B-6 in full and pay the related financing fees and expenses. In connection with the refinancing, we incurred incremental deferred financing fees of $4.7 million that will be amortized over the new loan term. Senior Secured Term Loan B-7 was a syndicated debt instrument. As a result of the refinancing, we repaid $257.1 million of principal to exiting lenders and to lenders where the refinancing resulted in a reduction in principal and received $264.1 million of proceeds from new lenders and additional principal from existing lenders.

On June 24, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 23 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of Senior Secured Term Loan B-5. The maturity date of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 were also extended from October 27, 2028 to June 24, 2029, subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness, if, on such date, the principal amount of such indebtedness exceeds $250 million, and the credit spread adjustment was removed from the periodic interest rate for both instruments. In connection with the refinancing, we incurred incremental deferred financing fees of $8.7 million that will be amortized over the new loan terms. Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 is a syndicated debt instrument. As a result of the refinancing, we repaid $670.8 million of principal to exiting lenders and to lenders where the refinancing resulted in a reduction in principal and received $670.8 million of proceeds from new lenders and additional principal from existing lenders.

On December 12, 2024, we executed Amendment No. 24 to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which we entered into Senior Secured Term Loan B-9 with an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full Senior Secured Term Loan B-7. In addition, we increased the principal on Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 by $425.0 million and used the increase in proceeds to repay a portion of Senior Secured Term Loan B-5. In connection with the refinancing, we incurred incremental deferred financing fees of $3.0 million that will be amortized over the new loan terms. Senior Secured Term Loan B-9 is a syndicated debt instrument. As a result of the refinancing, we repaid $858.3 million of principal to exiting lenders and to lenders where the refinancing resulted in a reduction in principal and received $858.3 million of proceeds from new lenders and additional principal from existing lenders.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $17.8 million of expense related to unamortized original issue discount, deferred financing fees, and other related fees associated with the 2024 refinancings in other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During 2025, we did not make any debt prepayments. During 2024, we prepaid $150.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-5, funded from cash-on-hand, and expensed $0.3 million of unamortized original issue discounts and deferred financing fees to other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2023, we prepaid $250.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-6, funded from cash-on-hand, and expensed $3.4 million of the unamortized original issue discount and deferred fees to other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest rates on the Senior Secured Term Loan B-5 are based on Term SOFR, unless otherwise elected, plus a margin of 1.75%, plus a credit spread adjustment. The remaining balance is due in full on November 15, 2026.

Interest rates on Senior Secured Term Loan A-4 are based on Term SOFR, unless otherwise elected, plus a margin of 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% depending on our total net leverage ratio. The Company is required to make principal payments of 0.625%, of the 2023 refinanced principal balance, at the end of each quarter through June 2026; principal payments increase to 1.25% each quarter thereafter with the remaining balance due June 24, 2029.

Interest rates on the Senior Secured Term Loan B-8 are based on Term SOFR, unless otherwise elected, plus a margin of 1.75%. The Company is required to make principal payments at the end of each quarter of $4.8 million with the remaining balance due June 24, 2031.

Interest rates on the Senior Secured Term Loan B-9 are based on Term SOFR with a floor of 0.50%, unless otherwise elected, plus a margin of 1.75%. The Company is required to make principal payments at the end of each quarter of 0.25% of the 2024 refinanced principal balance with the remaining balance due June 24, 2031.

Interest rates on the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are based on Term SOFR, unless otherwise elected, plus a margin of 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% depending on our total net leverage ratio. There is a 0.20%, 0.25% or 0.30% annual commitment fee, depending on our total net leverage ratio, payable quarterly based on the undrawn portion of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit expires on June 24, 2029.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

The Company may be required to make additional payments based on excess cash flows of the prior year, as defined in the agreement. Depending on the senior secured net leverage ratio for the year, a principal payment of between zero and fifty percent of the excess cash flows will be due the following year. There is no required excess cash flow payment due for 2025. Additional payments based on excess cash flows could be due in future years.

As of December 31, 2025, we have no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and an available borrowing balance of $598.8 million.

Other debt in the table above includes a third-party financing arrangement we entered into in the second quarter of 2025 to purchase certain long-lived assets. This debt will be repaid over 5 years.

TransUnion also has the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the Senior Secured Credit Facility up to the sum of the greater of $1,000.0 million and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, minus the amount of secured indebtedness and the amount incurred prior to the incremental loan, and may incur additional incremental loans so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25-to-1, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings.

With certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior secured net leverage test must be met as a condition to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, and may be required to make certain restricted payments. The senior secured net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.5-to-1 at any such measurement date. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, TransUnion may make dividend payments up to the greater of $100 million or 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA per year, or an unlimited amount provided that no default or event of default exists and so long as the total net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75-to-1. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

On February 11, 2026, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion. All other key terms of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

***Interest Rate Hedging***

In 2025, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on June 30, 2025 and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,238.1 million that amortizes each quarter. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.2893% and 3.6920% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2024, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commence on December 31, 2024, and expire on December 31, 2027, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,082.8 million that amortizes each quarter beginning the first quarter 2025. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 3.0650% and 3.9925% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2022, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fixed our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on December 30, 2022, and expired on December 31, 2024. We designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fix our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan or similar replacement debt. The swaps commenced on December 31, 2021, and expire on December 31, 2026, with a current aggregate notional amount of $1,536.0 million that amortizes each quarter. The swaps require us to pay fixed rates varying between 1.3800% and 1.3915% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In 2020, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fixed our variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt. The first swap commenced on June 30, 2020, and expired on June 30, 2022. The second swap commenced on June 30, 2022, and expired on June 30, 2025. We designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

The net change in the fair value of our hedging instruments, included in our assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recorded in other comprehensive income, and reclassified to interest expense when the corresponding hedged debt affects earnings. See further discussion in Note 21, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss."

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We expect to realize gains of approximately $27.4 million as a reduction of interest expense from our interest rate hedges over the next twelve months.

***Fair Value of Debt***

The fair value of our variable-rate term loans, excluding original issue discounts and deferred fees, are $5,128.6 million and $5,165.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair values of our variable-rate term loans are determined using Level 2 inputs, based on quoted market prices for the publicly traded instruments.

**13. Leases**

Our lease obligations consist of operating leases for office space and data centers. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 7.3 years. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease terms were 3.6 years and 3.5 years, respectively. As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted-average discount rate at lease commencement used to calculate the present value of the fixed future lease payments was 5.7%.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 our operating lease costs, including fixed, variable and short-term lease costs, were $42.3 million, $43.0 million and $39.7 million, respectively. Cash paid for operating leases are included in operating cash flows and were $43.3 million, $39.9 million and $39.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Future fixed payments for non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2025 are payable as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 2026 | $21.8 |
| 2027 | 15.9 |
| 2028 | 9.3 |
| 2029 | 6.1 |
| 2030 | 3.1 |
| Thereafter | 4.3 |
| Total operating lease payments | 60.5 |
| Less imputed interest | (5.9) |
| Totals | $54.6 |

---

**14. Revenue**

Accounts receivable are presented separately on our balance sheet. Contract assets and liabilities result due to the timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections. Contract assets include our right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time, for example, contracts pursuant to which we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until we complete the contract. Contract assets are included in our other current assets and are not material as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As most of our contracts with customers have a duration of one year or less, our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue that is primarily short-term in nature. Contract liabilities include current and long-term deferred revenue that is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. We recognized substantially all of the December 31, 2024 current deferred revenue balance as revenue during 2025. We expect to recognize the December 31, 2025 current deferred revenue balance as revenue during 2026. The majority of our long-term deferred revenue, which is not material, is expected to be recognized in less than two years.

We have certain contracts that have a duration of more than one year. For these contracts, the transaction price allocable to the future performance obligations is primarily fixed but contains a variable component. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of transaction price attributable to future performance obligations for long-term non-cancellable contracts, excluding the variable component, totals approximately $790 million. We expect to recognize approximately 50% of this amount in 2026, 30% in 2027 and 20% thereafter.

For additional disclosures about the disaggregation of our revenue see Note 18, "Reportable Segments."

For 2025, we reported a 26.9% effective tax rate, which is higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal corporate statutory rate, due primarily to the impact of the foreign rate differential, nondeductible expenses mainly in connection with executive compensation limitations, and state taxes, partially offset by the impact of the benefit to legal and regulatory expenses from the reduction of an accrued liability to zero for the dismissal of a lawsuit previously treated as nondeductible.

For 2024, we reported a 24.6% effective tax rate, which is higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal corporate statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible expenses primarily in connection with executive compensation limitations, foreign withholding taxes, and uncertain tax positions, partially offset by benefits from the research and development credit and the foreign rate differential. In addition, certain deferred tax assets related to expiring foreign tax credits were written off with an offsetting reduction of the valuation allowance.

For 2023, we reported a (30.8)% effective tax rate, which is lower than the 21.0% U.S. federal corporate statutory rate due primarily to the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment partially offset by benefits on the remeasurement of deferred taxes due to changes in state apportionment rates.

Components of net deferred income tax consisted of the following:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between tax and accounting methods. Our balance sheet includes deferred tax assets of $10.6 million and $10.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in other assets.

If certain deferred tax assets are not likely recoverable in future years a valuation allowance is recorded. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a valuation allowance of $80.3 million and $93.4 million, respectively, reduced deferred tax assets related to worldwide net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Our estimate of the amount of the deferred tax asset we can realize requires significant assumptions about projected revenues and income that are impacted by future market and economic conditions. Our carryforwards will expire as follows: U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards over two years to an indefinite number of years, foreign loss carryforwards over one year to an indefinite number of years, foreign tax credit carryforwards over ten years, interest expense carryforwards over an indefinite number of years, state net operating loss carryforwards over one year to an indefinite number of years and state tax credit carryforwards over one year to an indefinite number of years. As of December 31, 2025, the deferred tax assets associated with U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards were $44.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign interest expense carryforwards were $17.8 million and $55.8 million, respectively. Deferred tax assets associated with U.S. federal and state interest expense carryforwards is $108.2 million. Deferred tax assets associated with other loss and tax credit carryforwards were not significant.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits consisted of the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
| Balance as of beginning of period | $44.4 | $45.0 | $45.1 |

| Decrease in tax positions due to acquisition | 0.1 |  |  |
| Balance as of end of period | $44.3 | $44.4 | $45.0 |

---

The amounts that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized are $33.8 million, $34.4 million and $34.5 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

We classify interest and penalties as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and their associated liabilities as other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits were $21.6 million, $17.7 million and $14.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The total amount of cash taxes paid, net of refunds, by jurisdiction consisted of the following:

---

| | Year Ended December 31,<br>2025 |
| Federal | $115.6 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;India | 54.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other | 34.5 |
| Total | $259.7 |

---

We are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Given the uncertainties inherent in the audit process, it is reasonably possible that certain audits could result in a significant increase or decrease in the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits. An estimate of the range of the increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit results cannot be

made at this time. Tax years 2007 and forward remain open for examination in some foreign jurisdictions, 2015 and forward in some state jurisdictions, and 2012 and forward for U.S. federal purposes.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes potentially significant provisions, such as the

permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax

framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including 100% bonus depreciation,

domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with

certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented periodically through 2027. The impacts of the OBBBA are reflected in our results for the year ended December 31, 2025 resulting in an increase in our provision for income taxes due to foreign inclusions and a decrease in our income taxes paid in 2025.

**16. Stock-Based Compensation**

Effective upon the closing of our initial public offering, the Company's Board and its stockholders adopted the TransUnion 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which has since been amended and restated (the "2015 Plan"). During 2024, we increased the authorized shares available under the 2015 Plan to a total of 16.4 million shares. The 2015 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to key employees, directors or other persons having a service relationship with the Company and its affiliates. Dividends declared accrue to outstanding restricted stock units and are paid to employees when the restricted stock units vest. As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 3.8 million of unvested awards outstanding and approximately 8.0 million of awards have vested under the 2015 Plan.

Effective upon the closing of the initial public offering, the Company's Board and its stockholders adopted the TransUnion 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which has since been amended and restated (the "ESPP"). During 2024, we increased the authorized shares under the ESPP to a total of 5.4 million shares. The ESPP provides certain employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has issued approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock under the ESPP.

For the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefits were as follows:

Level 2 instruments include interest rate swaps, a foreign currency cash flow hedge, a note receivable and available-for-sale marketable securities consisting of foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds.

We determine the fair value of the interest rate swaps each reporting period using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected net cash receipts or payments that would occur if variable interest rates rise above or fall below the fixed rates of the swaps, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. The variable interest rates used in the calculations of projected receipts on the swaps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. Each individual swap contract is valued independently and recorded on a gross basis in other assets and other current liabilities.

In November 2025, we entered into a foreign currency forward contract to economically hedge our exposure of a portion of the purchase price of our pending acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Trans Union de Mexico, S.A., S.I.C. ("Trans Union de Mexico"). The notional amount of the foreign exchange forward contract is MXN 2.9 billion. We determined the fair value of this contract using observable market inputs and standard valuation technique using the contracted forward rate and the current market forward rate for a contract with the same remaining term, with changes in fair value recognized in other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations each period.

We determine the fair value of the note receivable each reporting period using an income approach for fixed income securities where contractual cash flows are discounted to present value at a risk-adjusted rate of return in a lattice model framework using changes to the risk-adjusted rate of return given observed changes to the interest rate environment, market pricing of credit risk, and issuer-specific credit risk, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. In December 2022, we sold the non-core businesses from our Verisk Financial acquisition, with a portion of the consideration received in the form of a $72.0 million note receivable. The note receivable accrued interest semiannually at a per annum rate of 10.6% and was payable at maturity. The note was initially recorded at fair value of $70.3 million. The note had an original maturity date of June 30, 2025, subject to an option of the note issuer to extend the maturity date for two successive terms of three months each, at an increased rate of interest at each extension. The note issuer exercised both of the three-month maturity extension options and repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest during 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

We determine the fair value of the marketable securities, which are available-for-sale foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds, at their current quoted prices and they mature between 2027 and 2033. Unrealized gains and losses on the foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds, which are not material, are included in other comprehensive income.

Level 3 instruments consist of convertible notes receivable we obtained in 2025 totaling $24.3 million, from the variable interest entity we discuss in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies," under the sub-heading "Variable Interest Entities."

The convertible notes receivable are measured at fair value each period using an option pricing model with inputs based on the contractual terms of the convertible notes. The significant unobservable inputs into the model include our estimates of the timing and probabilities of repayment or various conversion scenarios that result in a payoff in the form of preferred equity of the note issuer, and the value of the underlying preferred equity, which in part is based on forecasted revenue of the note issuer. We have elected to initially and subsequently measure this hybrid financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in interest income for the interest accretion component, and other income and (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for other changes to fair value. The convertible notes have a face amount of $24.3 million, with simple interest at 13% per annum, and mature on January 13, 2028. The notes may be converted into various equity shares based on certain events, or may be repaid in cash.

**18. Reportable Segments**

We have two operating segments, U.S. Markets and International, and the Corporate unit, which provides support services to each of the segments. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company's operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company's internal organization, the method by which the Company's resources are allocated and the manner by which the CODM assesses the Company's performance. Our CODM uses the profit measure of Adjusted EBITDA for its segments to allocate resources and assess performance of our businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our profit measure because it eliminates the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of operating performance, which is useful to compare operating results between periods. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment.

Our Board and executive management team also use Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure for both segment and corporate management under our incentive compensation plans. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.

The segment financial information presented below aligns with how we report information to our CODM to assess operating performance, and how we manage the business. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as described in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies."

The following is a more detailed description of our reportable segments and the Corporate unit:

We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions: Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

***Corporate***

Corporate provides support services for each of the segments, holds investments, and conducts enterprise functions. Certain costs incurred in Corporate that are not directly attributable to either of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

**20. Contingencies**

***Legal and Regulatory Matters***

We are routinely named as defendants in, or parties to, various legal actions and proceedings relating to our current or past business operations. These actions generally assert claims for violations of federal or state credit reporting, consumer protection or privacy laws, or common law claims related to the unfair treatment of consumers, and may include claims for substantial or indeterminate compensatory or punitive damages, or injunctive relief, and may seek business practice changes. We believe that most of these claims are either without merit or we have valid defenses to the claims, and we vigorously defend these matters or seek non-monetary or small monetary settlements, if possible. However, due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of each claim in each instance.

In the ordinary course of business, we also are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal), certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. In connection with formal and informal investigations and inquiries by regulators, we sometimes receive civil investigative demands, requests, subpoenas and orders seeking documents, testimony, and other information in connection with various aspects of our activities.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of legal and regulatory matters, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings or investigations are in the early stages, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty the timing or ultimate resolution of legal and regulatory matters or the eventual loss, fines or penalties, if any, that may result from such matters. We establish reserves for legal and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i317fb59d90cf4955b45086771d01c5ae_7)</u>

that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. However, for certain of the matters, we are not able to reasonably estimate our exposure because damages or penalties have not been specified and (i) the proceedings are in early stages, (ii) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class, (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of similar matters pending against our competitors, (iv) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (v) there are legal issues of a first impression being presented. The actual costs of resolving legal and regulatory matters, however, may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved for those matters, and an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in particular quarterly or annual periods. We accrue amounts for certain legal and regulatory matters for which losses were considered to be probable of occurring based on our best estimate of the most likely outcome. It is reasonably possible actual losses could be significantly different from our current estimates. In addition, there are some matters for which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur, however, we cannot estimate a range of the potential losses for these matters.

To reduce our exposure to an unexpected significant monetary award resulting from an adverse judicial decision, we maintain insurance that we believe is appropriate and adequate based on our historical experience. We regularly advise our insurance carriers of the claims, threatened or pending, against us in legal and regulatory matters and generally receive a reservation of rights letter from the carriers when such claims exceed applicable deductibles. We are not aware of any significant monetary claim that has been asserted against us, except for the pending matter with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") referenced below, that would not have some level of coverage by insurance after the relevant deductible, if any, is met.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have accrued $62.2 million and $123.5 million, respectively, for legal and regulatory matters. These amounts are recorded in other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the associated expenses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Legal fees incurred in connection with ongoing litigation are considered period costs and are expensed as incurred.

***CFPB Matters***

In June 2021, we received a Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise ("NORA") letter from the CFPB alleging that we failed to comply with and timely implement a consent order issued by the CFPB in January 2017 (the "2017 Consent Order"), and further alleging additional violations related to Consumer Interactive's marketing practices. On April 12, 2022, the agency filed a lawsuit against us, Trans Union LLC, TransUnion Interactive, Inc. (collectively, the "TU Entities") and the former President of Consumer Interactive, John Danaher, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On February 28, 2025, the CFPB, the TU Entities and Mr. Danaher filed with the Court a joint stipulation to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and the Court dismissed the lawsuit on March 21, 2025. During 2025, we adjusted the amount previously accrued for this matter to zero, as the dismissal has rendered a loss no longer probable. As of December 31, 2024, we had accrued $56.0 million in connection with this matter.

In March 2024, we received a NORA letter from the CFPB, informing us that the CFPB's Enforcement Division was considering whether to recommend that the CFPB take legal action against us related to our dispute handling practices and procedures. The NORA letter alleged that Trans Union LLC violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act's requirements to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information and follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports, and the Consumer Financial Protection Act's prohibition of unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices. On July 12, 2024, the CFPB Enforcement Division advised us that it had obtained authority to pursue an enforcement action against us seeking specific injunctive relief provisions and civil money penalties. We were previously engaged in active discussions with the CFPB regarding this matter, including that our ability to make proposed changes to certain dispute handling processes is dependent on the participation of other consumer reporting agencies, data furnishers and industry participants. Given the recent changes in CFPB leadership, our engagement with the agency on this matter has paused. We cannot provide an estimate of when, or if, such engagement will resume. We further cannot provide assurance that the CFPB will not ultimately commence a lawsuit against us in this matter, nor are we able to predict the likely outcome of this matter.

**ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. TransUnion's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of TransUnion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of TransUnion are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and directors of TransUnion; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of TransUnion's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in ("COSO"). Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, TransUnion's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of TransUnion's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, as stated in their report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In the TransUnion parent company only financial statements, the Company's investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. The Company's share of net income of its subsidiaries is included in consolidated income using the equity method. The parent company only financial information should be read in conjunction with TransUnion's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

**Note 2. Income Tax** 

TransUnion entered into an intercompany tax allocation agreement with TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc. in 2013, effective for all taxable periods from May 1, 2012, forward, in which they are members of the same consolidated federal or state tax groups. The agreement allocates the consolidated tax liability from those filings among the various members of the group.

**Note 3. Dividends to Stockholders**

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we declared dividends of $0.46, $0.42 and $0.42 per share, respectively. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid dividends of $90.5 million, $82.7 million and $81.8 million, respectively. Dividends declared accrue to outstanding restricted stock units and are paid to employees as dividend equivalents when the restricted stock units vest.

**Note 4. Share Repurchase Plan**

On February 11, 2025, our Board of Directors ("Board") authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock (the "2025 Repurchase Plan"). On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the 2025 Repurchase Plan authorization to $1.0 billion (including amounts repurchased as of such date under the original 2025 Repurchase Plan). Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion, at prices management considers to be attractive, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, hybrid open market repurchases or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, subject to availability. Open market purchases are conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and other applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, are at the discretion of management. The 2025 Repurchase Plan does not have an expiration date.

Repurchased shares are retired, resulting in a reduction to common stock at par with the remainder to additional paid-in capital. Once repurchased, the shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company and reduce the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3,577,000 shares of common stock for a total of $302.0 million, including commissions and excise taxes, under the 2025 Repurchase Plan. The average price paid to repurchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $84.45. As of December 31, 2025, $700.1 million remains available for repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.

1 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 Insider Trading Policy Current version publication date 06/16/2025 Previous version date 02/27/2023 Business unit Owner Legal, Risk & Compliance Policy LRC 247 Original version date 07/07/2015 A. Summary and scope Federal and state laws prohibit trading in the securities of a company while in possession of material nonpublic, or "inside," information. These laws also prohibit anyone who is aware of material nonpublic information from providing this information to others who may trade (commonly called "tipping"). Violating such laws can undermine investor trust, harm the reputation and integrity of TransUnion, and result in serious criminal and civil charges against the individual and TransUnion. In addition, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has the authority in certain circumstances to impose large fines on a company and on its directors, executive officers and controlling stockholders if the company's associates engage in insider trading and the company has failed to take appropriate steps to prevent it (so-called "controlling person" liability). TransUnion reserves the right to take whatever disciplinary or other measure(s) it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate in any particular situation, including dismissal from TransUnion and disclosure of wrongdoing to governmental authorities. Material nonpublic information is information (either positive or negative) that has not been made public and a reasonable investor would likely consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold a security . In the normal course of business, TransUnion Personnel may come into possession of material nonpublic information concerning TransUnion, transactions in which we propose to engage or with respect to other entities with which we do business. Therefore, TransUnion has established this policy to help: prevent inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws; avoid embarrassing disclosure of reporting violations by TransUnion directors, executive officers, or associates; avoid the appearance of impropriety on the part of those employed by, or associated with, TransUnion; and protect the reputation of TransUnion and its directors, executive officers, and associates. This policy is intended to protect Insiders and TransUnion from insider trading violations. However, the matters set forth in this policy are guidelines only and are not intended to replace your responsibility to understand and comply with the legal prohibition on insider trading. Appropriate judgment should be exercised in connection with all securities trading. If you have specific questions regarding this policy or applicable law, please contact the Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer or the Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Exhibit 19.1

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 2 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 This policy applies to all officers, directors and associates of TransUnion or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, "TransUnion Personnel"). For purposes of this policy, "officers" refer to those individuals who meet the definition of "officer" under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the "Exchange Act"). Individuals subject to this policy are responsible for ensuring that members of their household comply with this policy. This policy also applies to any entities controlled by individuals subject to the policy, including any corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or trusts, and transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this policy as if they were for the individual's own account. TransUnion may determine that this policy applies to additional persons with access to material nonpublic information, such as contractors or consultants. Officers, directors and associates, together with any other person designated as being subject to this policy by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer (or their respective designees), are referred to collectively as "Insiders." B. Prohibitions related to transactions in the Company's Securities This section applies to: All Insiders (other than unrelated persons whom the Chief Legal Officer of TransUnion determines should not be covered by this policy). 1. Prohibited Activities Except as provided in Section D, no person or entity covered by this Section B may: • purchase or sell any securities of TransUnion while he or she is in possession of any material nonpublic information concerning TransUnion, or recommend to another person that they do so; • disclose to (i.e., tip) any other person any material nonpublic information concerning TransUnion (see also Communications Policy \| Public Communications and Compliance with Regulation FD) • purchase or sell any securities of any other company while he or she is in possession of any material nonpublic information concerning such other company, including, without limitation, any customer, supplier, competitor or potential acquisition target, or recommend to another person that they do so; or • disclose to (i.e., tip) any other person any material nonpublic information concerning another company, which he or she learned in the course of his or her service to or relationship with TransUnion, such as by purchasing or selling securities of such other company or sharing that information with others.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 3 \|© 2025 TransUnion Confidential – Policy LRC 247 2. Public Communications No covered person who receives or has access to TransUnion's material nonpublic information may comment on stock price movements or rumors of other corporate developments (including discussions in Internet "chat rooms") that are of possible significance to the investing public unless it is part of the Insider's job (such as Corporate Communications and Investor Relations) or the Insider has been specifically authorized by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer in each instance. If you comment on stock price movements or rumors or disclose material nonpublic information to a third party you must contact the Chief Legal Officer or the Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary immediately. In addition, it is generally the practice of TransUnion not to respond to inquiries and/or rumors concerning TransUnion's affairs. If you receive inquiries concerning TransUnion from the media or inquiries from securities analysts or other members of the financial community, you should refer such inquiries, without comment, to Corporate Communications or Investor Relations. 3. Application of Policy after Cessation of Service If a person ceases to be a director or associate of TransUnion at a time when he or she is aware of material nonpublic information concerning TransUnion, the prohibitions on purchases or sales of TransUnion securities and on tipping described in this Section will continue to apply to such person until that information has become public or is no longer material. Additionally, the pre-clearance requirements set forth in Section C.2. continue to apply to Pre-Clearance Persons for six months after termination of their status as a PreClearance Person. 4. Restriction on Pledges • No person or entity covered by this section may purchase TransUnion securities on margin, borrow against TransUnion securities held in a margin account, or pledge TransUnion securities as collateral for a loan. However, an exception may be granted where a person wishes to pledge TransUnion securities as collateral for a loan and clearly demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. Any person who wishes to pledge TransUnion securities as collateral for a loan must submit a request for approval to, and receive approval from, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Legal Officer of TransUnion (or their respective designees) in advance of execution of the documents related to the transaction. The Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Legal Officer are under no obligation to approve any request for pre- clearance and may determine not to permit the arrangement for any reason. Approvals will be based on the particular facts and circumstances of the request, including, but not limited to, the percentage amount that the securities being pledged represent of the total number of our securities held by the person making the request and the financial capacity of the person making the request. • Notwithstanding the pre-clearance of any request, TransUnion assumes no liability for the consequences of any transaction made pursuant to such request.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 4 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 5. Restriction on Short Sales and Derivative Transactions No person or entity covered by this section, whether or not in possession of material nonpublic information, may engage in any of the following types of transactions: • short sales (i.e., sales of securities that are not owned by the seller at the time of the sale) involving TransUnion securities; • sales "against the box" (i.e., sales of securities that are owned at the time of sale but are either not delivered promptly or "covered" by subsequently purchased securities); • purchases or sales of options, warrants, puts, calls or other derivative securities based on TransUnion's securities; or • financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of TransUnion's securities. C. Additional prohibitions applicable to Directors, Executive Officers and Designated Associates This section applies to: • all directors of TransUnion; • all executive officers of TransUnion; • such other associates of TransUnion as are designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Legal Officer as being subject to this section (the "Designated Associates"); • all family members of directors, executive officers and Designated Associates who share the same address as, or are financially dependent on, the director, executive officer or Designated Associate and any other person who shares the same address as the Director, executive officer or Designated Associate (other than (x) domestic associates of the director, executive officer or Designated Associate or (y) another unrelated person whom the Corporate General Counsel determines should not be covered by this policy); and • all corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities controlled by any of the above persons, unless the entity has implemented policies or procedures designed to ensure that such person cannot influence transactions by the entity involving TransUnion securities. 1. Blackout Periods In this policy, regular blackout periods and special blackout periods are each referred to as a "blackout period."

------

![](exhibit191insidertrading005.jpg)

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 5 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 a. Regular Blackout Periods Except as provided in Section D, no person or entity covered by this Section C may purchase or sell any securities of TransUnion during the period beginning two weeks prior to the end of each fiscal quarter and ending upon the completion of the third full trading day after the public announcement of earnings for such quarter (a "regular blackout period"). A "trading day" is a day on which U.S. national stock exchanges are open for trading. If, for example, TransUnion were to make an announcement on Tuesday prior to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, then the blackout period would terminate after the close of trading on Thursday. If you have any questions as to whether information is publicly available, please direct an inquiry to the Chief Legal Officer or the Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. b. Special Blackout Periods TransUnion may from time to time notify specified directors, executive officers and other associates that an additional blackout period (a "special blackout period") is in effect in view of significant events or developments involving TransUnion. In such event, except as provided in Section D, no such individual may purchase or sell any securities of TransUnion during such special blackout period or inform anyone else that a special blackout period is in effect. If TransUnion is required to impose a "pension fund blackout period" under Regulation BTR, each director and executive officer shall not, directly or indirectly sell, purchase or otherwise transfer during such blackout period any equity securities of TransUnion acquired in connection with his or her service as a director or officer, except as permitted by Regulation BTR. 2. Notice and Pre-Clearance of Transactions a. Pre-Transaction Clearance No person or entity covered by this Section C (a "Pre-Clearance Person") may effect transactions in securities of TransUnion (including gifts, loans, pledges, rights or warrants to purchase or sell such securities, contribution to a trust or other transfers, whether the transaction is for the individual's own account, one over which he or she exercises control or one in which he or she has a beneficial interest), other than in a transaction permitted under Section D, unless such person pre-clears the transaction with the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee). A request for pre-clearance shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Chief Legal Officer. The Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear any contemplated transaction. All trades that are pre-cleared must be affected within period specified in the pre-clearance unless a specific exception has been granted by the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee). A pre-cleared trade (or any portion of a pre-cleared trade) that has not been effected during the period specified in the pre-clearance must be pre-cleared again prior to execution. Notwithstanding receipt of pre-clearance, if the Pre-Clearance Person

![](exhibit191insidertrading006.jpg)

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 6 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 becomes aware of material nonpublic information or becomes subject to a blackout period before the transaction is affected, the transaction may not be completed. Pre-Clearance Persons must comply with these pre-clearance requirements for six months after the termination of their status as a Pre-Clearance Person. Pre-clearance should not be understood to represent legal advice by TransUnion that a proposed transaction complies with the law. b. Post-Transaction Notice Each person or entity covered by this Section C who is a director or executive officer of TransUnion shall also notify the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) of the occurrence of any purchase or sale of securities of TransUnion as soon as possible following the transaction, but in any event within one business day after the transaction. Such notification may be oral or in writing (including by e-mail) and should include the identity of the covered person, the type of transaction, the date of the transaction, the number of shares involved and the purchase or sale price. c. Deemed Time of Transaction For purposes of this Section C, a purchase or sale shall be deemed to occur at the time the person becomes irrevocably committed to it (for example, in the case of an open market purchase or sale, this occurs when the trade is executed, not when it settles). D. Exceptions The prohibitions in Sections B and C on trading in TransUnion securities do not apply to: • exercises of stock options or other equity awards for cash or the surrender of shares to TransUnion in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations, in each case in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards; provided, however, that the securities so acquired may not be sold (either outright or in connection with a "cashless" exercise transaction through a broker) while the associate or director is aware of material nonpublic information or, in the case of someone who is subject to Section C, during a blackout period; • purchases of TransUnion's securities from TransUnion, including purchases of securities through TransUnion's associate stock purchase plan (however, the sale of any such stock and changing instructions regarding the level of withholding contributions which are used to purchase stock is subject to this policy), or sales of TransUnion's securities to TransUnion; • transferring shares to an entity that does not involve a change in the beneficial ownership of the shares (for example, to an inter vivos trust of which you are the sole beneficiary during your lifetime); • sales in connection with a registered primary or secondary offering by TransUnion;

![](exhibit191insidertrading007.jpg)

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 7 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 • bona fide gifts of TransUnion's securities, unless the individual making the gift knows, or is reckless in not knowing, that the recipient intends to sell the securities while the donor is in possession of material nonpublic information about TransUnion; and • purchases or sales of TransUnion securities made pursuant to a plan adopted in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 ("Rule 10b5-1") of the Exchange Act. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit the ability of a partnership or other similar entity with which a director is affiliated to distribute TransUnion securities to its partners, members or other similar persons. It is the responsibility of each affected director and the affiliated entity, in consultation with their own counsel (as appropriate), to determine the timing of any distributions, based on all relevant facts and circumstances and applicable securities laws. E. Penalties for Violations 1. Individual Responsibility Each Insider is individually responsible for complying with the securities laws and this policy, regardless of whether TransUnion has prohibited trading by that Insider or any other Insiders. Trading in securities outside of any blackout periods should not be considered a "safe harbor." We remind you that, whether or not during a blackout period, you may not trade securities on the basis of material nonpublic information. You should also bear in mind that any proceeding alleging improper trading will necessarily occur after the trade has been completed and is particularly susceptible to second-guessing with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, as a practical matter, before engaging in any transaction you should carefully consider how enforcement authorities and others might view the transaction in hindsight. Further, whether or not you possess material nonpublic information, it is advisable that you invest in TransUnion's securities or the securities of any company that has a substantial relationship with TransUnion from the perspective of a long- term investor who would like to participate over time in TransUnion's or such company's earnings growth. 2. Controlling Persons The securities laws provide that, in addition to sanctions against an individual who trades illegally, penalties may be assessed against what are known as "controlling persons" with respect to the violator. The term "controlling person" is not defined, but includes employers (i.e., TransUnion), its directors, officers and managerial and supervisory personnel. The concept is broader than what would normally be encompassed by a reporting chain. Individuals may be considered "controlling persons" with respect to any other individual whose behavior they have the power to influence. Liability can be imposed only if two conditions are met. First, it must be shown that the "controlling person" knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that a violation was likely. Second, it must be shown that the "controlling person" failed to take appropriate steps to prevent the violation from occurring. For this reason, TransUnion's supervisory personnel are directed to take appropriate steps to ensure that those they supervise understand and comply with the requirements set forth in this policy.

------

![](exhibit191insidertrading008.jpg)

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 8 \|© 2025 TransUnion – Policy LRC 247 3. Potential Sanctions Insiders, controlling persons and TransUnion may be subject to civil penalties, criminal penalties and/or jail for trading in securities when they have material nonpublic information or for improper transactions by any person (commonly referred to as a "tippee") to whom they have disclosed material nonpublic information, or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information about trading securities. The SEC has imposed large penalties even when the disclosing person did not profit from the trading. The SEC, the stock exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority use sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to uncover insider trading. 4. Possible Disciplinary Actions TransUnion Personnel who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment for cause, whether or not the TransUnion Personnel's failure to comply results in a violation of law. Needless to say, a violation of law, or even an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish one's reputation and irreparably damage a career. F. Broker Requirements for Section 16 Persons The timely reporting of transactions requires tight interface with brokers handling transactions for our directors and executive officers. A knowledgeable, alert broker can also serve as a gatekeeper, helping to ensure compliance with our pre-clearance procedures and helping prevent inadvertent violations. For purposes of this policy, "Section 16 Persons" shall mean any member of TransUnion's Board of Directors and any officer who meets the definition of "officer" under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, in order to facilitate timely compliance by the directors and executive officers of TransUnion with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, brokers of Section 16 Persons need to comply with the following requirements: 1. Not to enter any order (except for orders under pre-approved Trading Plans) without first verifying with TransUnion that your transaction was pre-cleared and complying with the brokerage firm's compliance procedures (e.g., Rule 144), and 2. To report before the close of business on the day after the execution of the transaction to TransUnion, by telephone and in writing via e-mail to the Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, the complete (i.e., date, type of transaction, number of shares and price) details of every transaction involving TransUnion's stock, including gifts, transfers, pledges and all 10b5-1 transactions. 3. Because it is the legal obligation of the trading person to cause this filing to be made, you are strongly encouraged to confirm following any transaction that your broker has immediately telephoned and e-mailed the required information to TransUnion.

The Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) may impose such other conditions on the implementation and operation of the Trading Plan as the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) deems necessary or advisable. Individuals may not adopt more than one Trading Plan at a time except under the limited circumstances permitted by Rule 10b5-1 and subject to preapproval by the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee). Directors, Section 16 Persons and other persons, as designated by the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer, shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the TransUnion Director and Executive Stock Sale Policy. An individual may only modify a Trading Plan outside of a blackout period and, in any event, when the individual does not possess material nonpublic information. Modifications to and terminations of a Trading Plan are subject to preapproval by the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) and

TransUnion reserves the right to publicly disclose, announce, or respond to inquiries from the media regarding the adoption, modification, or termination of a Trading Plan and non-Rule 10b5- 1 trading arrangements, or the execution of transactions made under a Trading Plan. TransUnion also reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue, or otherwise prohibit transactions under a Trading Plan if the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Legal Officer, or the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation, or other prohibition is in the best interests of TransUnion. Compliance of a Trading Plan with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the Trading Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the Trading Plan, and none of TransUnion, the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Legal Officer, or TransUnion's other associates assumes any liability for any delay in reviewing and/or refusing to approve a Trading Plan submitted for approval, nor the legality or consequences relating to a person entering into, informing TransUnion of, or trading under, a Trading Plan. H. Company Assistance and Education 1. Education TransUnion shall take reasonable steps designed to ensure that all directors and associates of TransUnion are educated about, and periodically reminded of, the federal securities law restrictions and TransUnion policies regarding insider trading. 2. Assistance TransUnion shall provide reasonable assistance to all directors and executive officers, as requested by such Directors and executive officers, in connection with the filing of Forms 3, 4 and 5 under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to the extent such filings are necessary. However, the ultimate responsibility, and liability, for timely filing remains with the directors and executive officers. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, or other attorney with responsibility for securities matters. I. Maintenance of Records TransUnion shall maintain such records as deemed necessary or desirable by the Chief Legal Officer regarding: 1. dispositions of requests to engage in transactions pursuant to Section B, Restrictions on Pledges, and Restriction on Short Sales and Derivative Transactions, and Section C, Notice and Pre-Clearance of Transactions; Pre-Transaction Clearance; 2. dispositions of requests to review 10b5-1 trading plans pursuant to Section F; and

Limitation on Liability — Legal Effect of this Policy None of TransUnion, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer or TransUnion's other associates will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a request to allow a pledge submitted pursuant to Section B, a request for pre-clearance submitted pursuant to Section B, Restriction on Short Sales and Derivative Transactions or Section C, Pre-Transaction Clearance, or a Trading Plan submitted pursuant to Section G. Notwithstanding any pre-clearance of a transaction pursuant to Section C, Pre-Transaction Clearance or review of a Trading Plan pursuant to Section G, none of TransUnion, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer or TransUnion's other associates assumes any liability for the legality or consequences of such transaction or Trading Plan to the person engaging in or adopting such transaction or Trading Plan. Actions taken by TransUnion, the Chief Legal Officer, or any other TransUnion personnel do not constitute legal advice, nor do they insulate you from the consequences of noncompliance with this policy or with securities laws. TransUnion's policy with respect to insider trading and the disclosure of confidential information, and the procedures that implement this policy, are not intended to serve as precise recitations of the legal prohibitions against insider trading and tipping which are highly complex, fact specific and evolving. Certain of the procedures are designed to prevent even the appearance of impropriety and in some respects may be more restrictive than the securities laws. Therefore, these procedures are not intended to serve as a basis for establishing civil or criminal liability that would not otherwise exist. The Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) shall have the authority to interpret and update this policy and all related policies and procedures. In particular, such interpretations and updates of this policy, as authorized by the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee), may include amendments to or departures from the terms of this policy, to the extent consistent with the general purpose of this policy and applicable securities laws K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
