(1) In addition to results reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the company uses certain non-
IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position. See the "Non-IFRS Financial
Measures" section and the tables appended to this news release for additional information on these and other non-IFRS financial
measures, including how they are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
Revenues increased 10% due to 10% growth in recurring revenues (77% of total revenues) and 15% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 4% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth benefited approximately 1% from foreign currency and 1% from net acquisitions and disposals. Organic revenues increased 8% reflecting 8% growth in recurring revenues, 10% growth in transactions revenues and a 5% decline in Global Print.The company's "Big 3" segments reported organic revenue growth of 9% and collectively comprised 85% of total revenues.Operating profit increased 14% primarily due to net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit. The related margin decreased to 42.2% from 42.3% in the prior-year period. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 50 basis points.Diluted EPS increased to $1.03 per share compared to $0.96 per share in the prior-year period as higher operating profit was partly offset by lower results from discontinued operations and higher net interest expense. Diluted EPS also benefited from a reduction in weighted-average common shares outstanding due to share repurchases. Adjusted EPS, which excludes discontinued operations, as well as other adjustments, increased to $1.23 per share compared to $1.12 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA partly offset by higher net interest expense. Adjusted EPS also benefited from a reduction in weighted-average common shares.Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $60 million primarily due to higher cash benefits from the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses. Free cash flow increased by $55 million primarily due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities. Highlights by Customer Segment – Three Months Ended March 31

Unless otherwise noted, all revenue growth comparisons by customer segment in this news release are at constant currency (which excludes the impact of foreign currency) as the company believes this provides the best basis to measure performance.Legal ProfessionalsRevenues increased 8% at constant currency. Organic revenue growth was 9%.Recurring revenues increased 9% (98% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Westlaw and CoCounsel.Transactions revenues decreased 2% (2% of total, all organic).Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $365 million.The margin decreased to 48.3% from 48.7%, primarily driven by higher revenues offset by higher technology and other costs, and to a lesser extent, a negative impact from foreign currency.Corporates Revenues increased 9% at constant currency, all organic.Recurring revenues increased 8% (74% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Westlaw, CoCounsel, Practical Law, Pagero, CLEAR and the segment's international businesses.Transactions revenues increased 12% (26% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Confirmation, Pagero, Indirect Tax and the segment's international businesses.Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $243 million.The margin increased to 40.0% from 39.3% driven by higher operating leverage. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 60 basis points.Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals Revenues increased 14% at constant currency, including the acquisition impact of SafeSend which was reflected in transactions revenues. Organic revenue growth was 10%.Recurring revenues increased 10% (56% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by tax and audit products, including CoCounsel, as well as the segment's Latin America business.Transactions revenues increased 18% (44% of total, increased 11% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by SafeSend, SurePrep, UltraTax and Confirmation.Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $221 million.The margin decreased to 53.8% from 56.6% primarily due to higher technology and other costs. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 40 basis points.The Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segment is the company's most seasonal business with approximately 60% of full-year revenues typically generated in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, the margin performance of this segment has been generally higher in the first and fourth quarters as costs are typically incurred in a more linear fashion throughout the year.ReutersRevenues increased 7% at constant currency (increased 6% organic), primarily due to higher Agency revenues and a contractual price increase from the company's news agreement with the Data & Analytics business of London Stock Exchange Group.Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13% to $34 million and the margin decreased to 16.1% from 20.0%, primarily due to foreign currency, which negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 200 basis points, as well as higher editorial and other costs.Global Print Revenues decreased 5% at constant currency, all organic, driven by lower shipment volumes.Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2% to $43 million, and the margin increased to 38.6% from 37.8% reflecting lower expenses.Corporate CostsCorporate costs were $25 million compared to $33 million in the prior-year period, which included a corporate charge that did not repeat.2026 OutlookThe company maintained its 2026 full-year outlook announced on February 5, 2026 for all metrics, except for net interest expense which is expected to be in the $180 - $190 million range compared to the $150 - $160 million range in the company's February 2026 outlook. The increase reflects the impact of the $1.2 billion share repurchase program and return of capital and share consolidation transactions, as announced on February 25, 2026, on the company's net debt position.The company's outlook for 2026 in the table below assumes constant currency rates and incorporates the recent Noetica acquisition, but excludes the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the remainder of the year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.The company expects its second-quarter 2026 organic revenue growth to be in a range of 7% - 8% and its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 38%.The company's 2026 outlook is forward-looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties (see "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions"). In particular, the company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth, and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment, among other factors, could impact the company's ability to achieve its outlook.Reported Full-Year 2025 Results and Full-Year 2026 OutlookTotal Thomson ReutersFY 2025ReportedFY 2026Outlook2/5/2026FY 2026Outlook5/5/2026Total Revenue Growth3%(2)7.5% - 8.0%UnchangedOrganic Revenue Growth(1)7 %7.5% - 8.0%UnchangedAdjusted EBITDA Margin(1)39.2 %+100bps vs 2025UnchangedCorporate Costs$118 million$115 - $125 millionUnchangedFree Cash Flow(1)$1.95 billion~ $2.1 billionUnchangedAccrued Capex as % of Revenues(1)8.2 %~ 8.0%UnchangedDepreciation & Amortization of Software Depreciation & Amortization of Internally Developed Software Amortization of Acquired Software$832 million$626 million$206 million$890- $910 million$680 - $690 million$210 - $220 millionUnchangedUnchangedUnchangedNet Interest Expense$143 million$150 - $160 million$180 - $190 millionEffective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings(1)18.5 %~ 19%Unchanged"Big 3" Segments(1)FY 2025ReportedFY 2026Outlook2/5/2026FY 2026Outlook5/5/2026Total Revenue Growth 4%(2)~ 9.5%UnchangedOrganic Revenue Growth 9 %~ 9.5%UnchangedAdjusted EBITDA Margin 43.6 %+100bps vs 2025Unchanged
(1)Non-IFRS financial measures. See the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section below as well as the tables appended to this news release for more information.(2)Total revenue growth reflects the impact of the disposals of FindLaw and other non-core businesses in December 2024.The information in this section is forward-looking. Actual results, which will include the impact of currency, future acquisitions and dispositions completed during 2026, and macroeconomic events outside of the company's control may differ materially from the company's 2026 outlook. The information in this section should also be read in conjunction with the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions." Return of Capital and Share Consolidation On May 4, 2026, the company returned $605 million to its shareholders and reduced its common shares outstanding by approximately 6.5 million, in accordance with its previously announced return of capital and share consolidation transactions. The transactions consisted of a special cash distribution of $1.435518 per participating common share and a share consolidation, or "reverse stock split", which reduced the number of outstanding common shares at a ratio of 1 pre-consolidated share for 0.984560 post-consolidated shares, which was proportional to the special cash distribution.Share Repurchases - Update on $600 Million Share Repurchase Program In February 2026, the company announced its plan to repurchase up to $600 million of additional common shares under an amended Normal Course Issuer Bid that was approved by the TSX. The company repurchased 2.5 million of its common shares for a total spend of $262 million.As of May 4, 2026, Thomson Reuters had approximately 436.5 million common shares outstanding.AcquisitionIn February 2026, the company acquired Noetica, Inc., a New York-based AI-native start-up that transforms transaction-deal data into structured market intelligence for deal professionals. This business will be primarily reported in the Legal Professionals segment.Dividends In February 2026, the company announced a 10% or $0.24 per share annualized increase in the dividend to $2.62 per common share, representing the 33rd consecutive year of dividend increases and the fifth consecutive 10% increase. A quarterly dividend of $0.655 per share is payable on June 10, 2026 to common shareholders of record as of May 20, 2026.Thomson Reuters

For more information, visit thomsonreuters.com.NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURESThomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA (other than at the customer segment level) and the related margin, free cash flow, adjusted earnings and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues, net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, selected measures excluding the impact of foreign currency, changes in revenues computed on an organic basis as well as all financial measures for the "Big 3" segments. Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes and the company's business outlook. Additionally, Thomson Reuters uses non-IFRS measures as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables. The company's outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. The company believes that providing reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in its outlook would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for purposes of its outlook only, the company is unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because it cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of its results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, and (ii) other finance income or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, the company cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses that generally arise from business transactions that the company does not currently anticipate.ROUNDINGOther than EPS, the company reports its results in millions of U.S. dollars, but computes percentage changes and margins using whole dollars to be more precise. As a result, percentages and margins calculated from reported amounts may differ from those presented, and growth components may not total due to rounding.REVISION TO PRIOR-YEAR SEGMENT RESULTSEffective January 1, 2026, the company made changes to its segment reporting to reflect how it currently manages its segments. The changes reflect the transfer of certain customers and their related revenues and expenses among the company's Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. These changes impact the financial results of the company's segments, but do not change its consolidated financial results. The following summarizes the changes to the applicable segment's first-quarter 2025 reported amounts:Legal Professionals revenues decreased $5 million to $688 million, adjusted EBITDA was unchanged at $336 million and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 30 basis points to 48.7%;Corporates revenues increased $7 million to $548 million, adjusted EBITDA increased $2 million to $215 million and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 10 basis points to 39.3%; andTax, Audit & Accounting Professionals revenues decreased $2 million to $358 million, adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million to $208 million and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 10 basis points to 56.6%.SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, MATERIAL RISKS AND MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONSCertain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to, statements in Mr. Hasker's comments and the "2026 Outlook" section, are forward-looking. The words "will", "expect", "believe", "target", "estimate", "could", "should", "intend", "predict", "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While the company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this news release, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes and there is no assurance that any of the other events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond the company's control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict.Some of the material risk factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, those discussed on pages 19-32 in the "Risk Factors" section of the company's 2025 annual report. These and other risk factors are discussed in materials that Thomson Reuters from time-to-time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Thomson Reuters' annual and quarterly reports are also available in the "Investor Relations" section of thomsonreuters.com.The company's 2026 business outlook is based on information currently available to the company and is based on various external and internal assumptions made by the company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the company believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Material assumptions and material risks may cause actual performance to differ from the company's expectations underlying its 2026 business outlook. In particular, the global economy has experienced substantial disruption due to concerns regarding economic effects associated with the macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical risks. The company's 2026 business outlook assumes that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility, however, these conditions may last substantially longer than expected and any worsening of the global economic or business environment could impact the company's ability to achieve its outlook and affect its results and other expectations. For a discussion of material assumptions and material risks related to the company's 2026 outlook see pages 61-62 of the company's 2025 annual report. The company's annual report was filed with, or furnished to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. SEC and are also available in the "Investor Relations" section of thomsonreuters.com. The company has provided an outlook for the purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the period presented. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations only as of the date of this news release. Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

(1) Refer to page 18 for additional information on non-IFRS financial measures. Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresDefinitionWhy Useful to the Company and InvestorsAdjusted EBITDA and the related marginRepresents earnings or losses from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or income, depreciation, amortization of software and other identifiable intangible assets, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue. The related margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.Provides a consistent basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends by excluding items that the company does not consider to be controllable activities for this purpose. Also, represents a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as a valuation metric, as well as to assess the company's ability to incur and service debt.Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS Net earnings or loss including dividends declared on preference shares but excluding the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets (attributable to other identifiable intangible assets and acquired software), other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Acquired intangible assets contribute to the generation of revenues from acquired companies, which are included in the company's computation of adjusted earnings. The post-tax amount of each item is excluded from adjusted earnings based on the specific tax rules and tax rates associated with the nature and jurisdiction of each item. Adjusted EPS is calculated from adjusted earnings using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders. Provides a more comparable basis to analyze earnings. These measures are commonly used by shareholders to measure performance.Effective tax rate on adjusted earningsAdjusted tax expense divided by pre-tax adjusted earnings. Adjusted tax expense is computed as income tax expense or benefit plus or minus the income tax impacts of all items impacting adjusted earnings (as described above), and other tax items impacting comparability. In interim periods, the company also makes an adjustment to reflect income taxes based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The non-IFRS adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods but has no effect on full-year income taxes. Provides a basis to analyze the effective tax rate associated with adjusted earnings. The company's effective tax rate computed in accordance with IFRS may be more volatile by quarter because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year. Therefore, the company believes that using the expected full-year effective tax rate provides more comparability among interim periods. Free cash flowNet cash provided by operating activities and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, payments of lease principal and dividends paid on the company's preference shares. Helps assess the company's ability, over the long term, to create value for its shareholders as it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common dividends, fund share repurchases and acquisitions.Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at constant currencyThe changes in revenues, adjusted EBITDA and the related margin, and adjusted EPS before currency (at constant currency or excluding the effects of currency) are determined by converting the current and equivalent prior period's local currency results using the same foreign currency exchange rate.Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period.Changes in revenues computed on an organic basisRepresent changes in revenues of the company's existing businesses at constant currency. The metric excludes the distortive impacts of acquisitions and dispositions from not owning the business in both comparable periods. Provides further insight into the performance of the company's existing businesses by excluding distortive impacts and serves as a better measure of the company's ability to grow its business over the long term.Accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenuesAccrued capital expenditures divided by revenues, where accrued capital expenditures include amounts that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.Reflects the basis on which the company manages capital expenditures for internal planning purposes. "Big 3" segments The company's combined Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. All measures reported for the "Big 3" segments are non-IFRS financial measures.The "Big 3" segments comprised approximately 80% of revenues and represent the core of the company's business information service product offerings. Net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDANet debt is total debt, plus related hedging instruments and collateral balances, along with lease liabilities, excluding unamortized transaction costs and any premiums or discounts on debt, minus cash and cash equivalents. We exclude specific hedging components to reflect the net cash outflow upon debt maturity. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period ending with the current fiscal quarter.Provides a commonly used measure of a company's leverage and its ability to pay its debt. Given that the company hedges some of its debt to manage risk, the company includes hedging instruments as it believes it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with its outstanding debt. Since the company plans to hold its debt and related hedges until maturity, the net debt calculation is adjusted to reflect the net cash outflow at maturity, after deducting cash and cash equivalents. The company's non-IFRS measure is aligned with the calculation of its internal target leverage ratio and is more conservative than the maximum ratio allowed under the contractual covenants in its credit facility.Please refer to reconciliations for the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.

One Million Professionals Turn to CoCounsel as Thomson Reuters Scales AI for Regulated IndustriesFebruary 24, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Milestone Signals Shift from AI Pilots to Production Systems and Previews the Next Generation of CoCounsel LegalTORONTO, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI), a global content and technology company, today announced one million professionals have chosen CoCounsel, the company's professional-grade AI technology, across 107 countries and territories. The milestone reflects a broader transition underway across high-stakes industries including legal, risk, compliance, tax, accounting, audit and global trade professionals. AI is moving from experimentation to production. Rather than standalone tools, firms are embedding AI directly into daily workflows where accuracy, sourcing, and data protection are essential.
General-purpose AI can generate plausible answers. Regulated professionals, however, need AI that withstands review in courtrooms, audits, and regulatory proceedings.These systems need to retrieve authoritative sources, verify citations, and apply jurisdiction-specific rules.CoCounsel fulfills those requirements, powering intelligent capabilities across the company's portfolio—including CoCounsel Legal, CoCounsel Tax and Audit, and ONESOURCE+. It integrates into the tools professionals already use, analyzes licensed content refined over 175 years, incorporates expert-developed validation logic, and delivers structured, citation-backed outputs. Customer data remains protected and is not repurposed to train third-party models. More than 4,500 Thomson Reuters subject matter experts contribute to the validation and continuous refinement of CoCounsel's outputs across legal, tax, and compliance domains."Professionals are not deciding whether to use AI anymore. They are deciding which AI they trust when their reputation and their clients' data are on the line," said Steve Hasker, President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomson Reuters. "CoCounsel is built for moments when being almost right is not good enough. It is grounded in decades of authoritative content, validated by domain experts, and backed by a clear commitment that customer data remains theirs. That is why one million professionals rely on CoCounsel.""When the work matters, the AI must be professional grade. Professionals need systems that can complete sophisticated work within the standards they are accountable to every day. That's the gap between CoCounsel and everything else," added David Wong, Chief Product Officer, Thomson Reuters. "One million CoCounsel users across 100+ countries and territories reflects a shared global consensus."Built for Regulated Work
CoCounsel's adoption reflects design decisions tailored to professional environments:Licensed, authoritative content. Outputs are grounded in editorially enhanced legal and tax sources, not scraped public data.Expert validation. Domain specialists shape workflow logic and quality standards in areas where errors carry consequences.Workflow integration. CoCounsel operates inside research, drafting, and compliance platforms enabling task execution within established professional systems.Data boundaries by design. Thomson Reuters does not repurpose customer inputs to train third-party models or generate outputs for other users.Multi-model architecture with governance. Thomson Reuters works with leading frontier models, including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's GPT and Google's Gemini, alongside proprietary AI technology and structured datasets to maintain performance control and system-level oversight.From Tool to Execution Layer
In legal, tax, audit, and compliance workflows, AI must retrieve relevant authority, analyze structured and unstructured information, apply jurisdictional rules, and generate outputs that stand under review. That requires vertically integrated systems.CoCounsel functions as an execution layer embedded within professional platforms, combining foundation models, proprietary AI engineering, proprietary content, and domain expertise to complete multi-step workflows end to end.The next generation of CoCounsel Legal, entering beta soon, is designed around conversational task execution. Soon, legal professionals within law firms and corporations, will be able to describe an objective as they would brief a colleague. CoCounsel will build a plan, retrieve authority from Westlaw and Practical Law, search relevant user documents and precedent, analyze the material, verify that citations remain in good law, and deliver structured work product within a single system. Additional next-generation capabilities within CoCounsel Tax and ONESOURCE+ are planned for later in 2026.As AI becomes embedded in professional systems, the defining question is not how quickly it can produce text, but whether it can support work that carries legal or financial consequences.With one million professionals relying on CoCounsel, Thomson Reuters is not participating in the AI race. It is defining how AI operates in the world's highest-stakes work.About Thomson Reuters

(1) In addition to results reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the company uses certain non-
IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position. See the "Non-IFRS Financial
Measures" section and the tables appended to this news release for additional information on these and other non-IFRS financial
measures, including how they are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
Revenues increased 5% due to 6% growth in recurring revenues (84% of total revenues) and 11% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 6% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth was negatively impacted by net acquisitions and disposals of 3%. Foreign currency had a slightly positive impact on revenue growth. Organic revenues increased 7% reflecting 9% growth in recurring revenues, 8% growth in transactions revenues and a 6% decline in Global Print.The company's "Big 3" segments reported organic revenue growth of 9% and collectively comprised 82% of total revenues.Operating profit decreased 25% primarily due to other operating gains in the prior-year period substantially related to the sale of FindLaw, as well as higher amortization of software in the current period. These items more than offset the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes other operating gains, amortization of software, as well as other adjustments, increased 8% and the related margin increased to 38.7% from 37.6% in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher operating leverage. Foreign currency negatively impacted the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 30 basis points.Diluted EPS decreased to $0.74 per share compared to $1.30 per share in the prior-year period primarily due to lower operating profit. Additionally, the prior-year period also included currency benefits reflected in other finance costs or income. Adjusted EPS, which excludes net other operating gains, other finance costs or income, as well as other adjustments, increased to $1.07 per share compared to $1.01 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher amortization of internally developed software and interest expense. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $192 million as higher cash benefits from the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses and certain component changes in working capital were partly offset by higher income tax payments. Free cash flow increased by $156 million as higher net cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by lower cash flows from other investing activities, which included a cash flow benefit in the prior-year period.

Organic revenues increased 9%.Recurring revenues increased 7% (88% of total, increased 9% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Indirect Tax, Direct Tax, Westlaw, Practical Law, Pagero and the segment's international businesses.Transactions revenues increased 7% (12% of total, all organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by increases in Indirect Tax, Global Trade and the segment's international businesses.Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $160 million and the margin decreased to 32.2% from 33.5%.

this news release for additional information on these and other non-IFRS financial measures, including how they are defined and
reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
Revenues increased 3% due to 3% growth in recurring revenues (81% of total revenues) and 5% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 6% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth was negatively impacted by net acquisitions and disposals of 4%. Foreign currency had no impact on revenue growth. Organic revenues increased 7% reflecting 9% growth in recurring revenues, 4% growth in transactions revenues and a 5% decline in Global Print.The company's "Big 3" segments reported organic revenue growth of 9% and collectively comprised 82% of total revenues.Operating profit increased 1% primarily driven by the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses, partially offset by higher amortization of software. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes amortization of software, as well as other adjustments, increased 6% and the related margin increased to 39.2% from 38.2%, primarily due to higher operating leverage. Foreign currency contributed 20 basis points to the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin.Diluted EPS decreased to $3.33 per share compared to $4.89 per share in the prior year primarily because the prior-year period included a $468 million or a $1.04 per share non-cash tax benefit related to tax legislation enacted in Canada.Adjusted EPS, which excludes the non-cash tax benefit, as well as other adjustments, increased to $3.92 per share compared to $3.77 per share in the prior year, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher amortization of internally developed software, income tax expense and interest expense. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $194 million as higher cash benefits from the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses and certain component changes in working capital were partly offset by higher income tax payments.Free cash flow increased by $122 million as higher net cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by higher capital expenditures and lower cash flows from other investing activities.Highlights by Customer Segment – Year Ended December 31

2026 Outlook The company's outlook for 2026 in the table below assumes constant currency rates and does not factor in the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.The company expects its first-quarter 2026 organic revenue growth to be approximately 7% and its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 42%.The company's 2026 outlook is forward-looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties (see "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions"). In particular, the company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment, among other factors, could impact the company's ability to achieve its outlook.Reported Full-Year 2025 Results and Full-Year 2026 OutlookTotal Thomson ReutersFY 2025ReportedFY 2026OutlookTotal Revenue Growth3%(2)7.5% - 8.0%Organic Revenue Growth(1)7 %7.5% - 8.0%Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1)39.2 %+100bps vs 2025Corporate Costs$118 million$115 - $125 millionFree Cash Flow(1)$1.95 billion~ $2.1 billionAccrued Capex as % of Revenues(1)8.2 %~ 8.0%Depreciation & Amortization of Software Depreciation & Amortization of Internally Developed Software Amortization of Acquired Software$832 million$626 million$206 million$890- $910 million$680 - $690 million$210 - $220 millionNet Interest Expense$143 million$150 - $160 millionEffective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings(1)18.5 %~ 19%"Big 3" Segments(1)FY 2025ReportedFY 2026OutlookTotal Revenue Growth 4%(2)~ 9.5%Organic Revenue Growth 9 %~ 9.5%Adjusted EBITDA Margin 43.6 %+100bps vs 2025
(1)Non-IFRS financial measures. See the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section below as well as the tables appended to this news release for more information.(2)Total revenue growth reflects the impact of the disposals of FindLaw and other non-core businesses in December 2024.The information in this section is forward-looking. Actual results, which will include the impact of currency, future acquisitions and dispositions completed during 2026, and macroeconomic events outside of the company's control may differ materially from the company's 2026 outlook. The information in this section should also be read in conjunction with the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions." The company's 2026 outlook is also based on certain assumptions described in the cross-referenced section, which the company believes are reasonable in the circumstances, and is subject to a number of risks, including those specifically identified in the cross-referenced section and those facing the company generally.Segment Name Changes As reflected in this earnings release, the company changed the names of its Tax & Accounting Professionals segment to Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals and its Reuters News segment to Reuters to reflect the broader scope of the activities in each of the respective segments. These name changes did not change the segments' composition or the measurement of the segments' results as previously or currently reported.Dividends and Common Shares OutstandingThe company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a 10% or $0.24 per share annualized increase in the dividend to $2.62 per common share, representing the 33rd consecutive year of dividend increases and the fifth consecutive 10% increase. A quarterly dividend of $0.655 per share is payable on March 10, 2026 to common shareholders of record as of February 17, 2026.Thomson Reuters had approximately 445.0 million common shares outstanding as of February 3, 2026.$1.0 Billion Share Repurchase Program In August 2025, the company announced its plan to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common shares under a Normal Course Issuer Bid that was approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). In late October 2025, the company completed the program by repurchasing 6.0 million of its common shares.Thomson Reuters

For more information, visit tr.com.NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURESThomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA (other than at the customer segment level) and the related margin, free cash flow, adjusted earnings and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues, net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, selected measures excluding the impact of foreign currency, changes in revenues computed on an organic basis as well as all financial measures for the "Big 3" segments. The company modified its definition of net debt to account for interest rate swap arrangements entered into during the third quarter of 2025. The change did not have a material impact on its calculation of net debt.Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes and the company's business outlook. Additionally, Thomson Reuters uses non-IFRS measures as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables. The company's outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. The company believes that providing reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in its outlook would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for purposes of its outlook only, the company is unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because it cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of its results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, and (ii) other finance income or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, the company cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses that generally arise from business transactions that the company does not currently anticipate.ROUNDINGOther than EPS, the company reports its results in millions of U.S. dollars, but computes percentage changes and margins using whole dollars to be more precise. As a result, percentages and margins calculated from reported amounts may differ from those presented, and growth components may not total due to rounding. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, MATERIAL RISKS AND MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONSCertain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to, statements in Mr. Hasker's comments and the "2026 Outlook" section, are forward-looking. The words "will", "expect", "believe", "target", "estimate", "could", "should", "intend", "predict", "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While the company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this news release, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes and there is no assurance that any of the other events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond the company's control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict.Some of the material risk factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, those discussed on pages 16-27 in the "Risk Factors" section of the company's 2024 annual report. These and other risk factors are discussed in materials that Thomson Reuters from time-to-time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Thomson Reuters' annual and quarterly reports are also available in the "Investor Relations" section of tr.com.The company's business 2026 outlook is based on information currently available to the company and is based on various external and internal assumptions made by the company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the company believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Material assumptions and material risks may cause actual performance to differ from the company's expectations underlying its business outlook. In particular, the global economy has experienced substantial disruption due to concerns regarding economic effects associated with the macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical risks. The company's business outlook assumes that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility, however, these conditions may last substantially longer than expected and any worsening of the global economic or business environment could impact the company's ability to achieve its outlook and affect its results and other expectations. Material assumptions related to the company's revenue outlook are that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility; there will be a continued need for trusted products and services that help customers navigate evolving and complex legal, tax, audit, accounting, regulatory, geopolitical and commercial changes, developments and environments, and for cloud-based digital tools that drive productivity; Thomson Reuters will have a continued ability to deliver innovative products that meet evolving customer demands; the company will acquire new customers through expanded and improved digital platforms, simplification of the product portfolio and through other sales initiatives; and the company will improve customer retention through commercial simplification efforts and customer service improvements. Material assumptions related to the company's adjusted EBITDA margin outlook are its ability to achieve revenue growth targets; the company's business mix continues to shift to higher-growth product offerings; and integration expenses associated with recent acquisitions will reduce margins. Material assumptions related to the company's free cash flow outlook are its ability to achieve its revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets; and accrued capital expenditures approximate the percentage of revenues as set forth in the company's outlook. Material assumptions related to the company's effective tax rate on adjusted earnings outlook are its ability to achieve its adjusted EBITDA target; the mix of taxing jurisdictions where the company recognized pre-tax profit or losses in 2025 does not significantly change; no unexpected changes in tax laws or treaties within the jurisdictions where the company operates; no significant charges or benefits from the finalization of prior tax years; depreciation and amortization of internally developed software as set forth in the company's outlook; and net interest expense as set forth in the company's outlook. Material risks related to the company's revenue outlook are that ongoing geopolitical instability and uncertainty regarding interest rates and inflation, continue to impact the global economy. The severity and duration of any one, or a combination, of these conditions could impact the global economy and lead to lower demand for our products and services (beyond our assumption that these disruptions will cause periods of volatility); uncertainty in the legal regulatory regime relating to artificial intelligence (AI) has made it difficult for the company to predict the risks associated with the use of AI in its businesses and products. Future legislation may make it harder for the company to conduct its business using AI, lead to regulatory fines or penalties, require it to change its product offerings or business practices or prevent or limit its use of AI; demand for the company's products and services could be reduced by changes in customer buying patterns or in its inability to execute on key product design or customer support initiatives; competitive pricing actions and product innovation could impact the company's revenues; and the company's sales, commercial simplification and product initiatives may be insufficient to retain customers or generate new sales. Material risks related to the company's adjusted EBITDA margin outlook are the same as the risks above related to the revenue outlook; higher than expected inflation may lead to greater than anticipated increase in labor costs, third-party supplier costs and costs of print materials; and acquisition and disposal activity may dilute the company's adjusted EBITDA margin. Material risks related to the company's free cash flow outlook are the same as the risks above related to the revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets; a weaker macroeconomic environment could negatively impact working capital performance, including the ability of the company's customers to pay; capital expenditures may be higher than currently expected; and the timing and amount of tax payments to governments may differ from the company's expectations. Material risks related to the company's effective tax rate on adjusted earnings outlook are the same as the risks above related to adjusted EBITDA; a material change in the geographical mix of the company's pre-tax profits and losses; a material change in current tax laws or treaties to which the company is subject, and did not expect; resolution of tax audits may cause material changes to assessments of uncertain tax positions as compared to current estimates; and depreciation and amortization of internally developed software as well as net interest expense may be significantly higher or lower than expected. The company has provided an outlook for the purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the period presented. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations only as of the date of this news release. Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

MeasuresDefinitionWhy Useful to the Company and InvestorsAdjusted EBITDA and the related marginRepresents earnings or losses from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or income, depreciation, amortization of software and other identifiable intangible assets, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue. The related margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.Provides a consistent basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends by excluding items that the company does not consider to be controllable activities for this purpose. Also, represents a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as a valuation metric, as well as to assess the company's ability to incur and service debt.Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS Net earnings or loss including dividends declared on preference shares but excluding the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets (attributable to other identifiable intangible assets and acquired software), other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Acquired intangible assets contribute to the generation of revenues from acquired companies, which are included in the company's computation of adjusted earnings. The post-tax amount of each item is excluded from adjusted earnings based on the specific tax rules and tax rates associated with the nature and jurisdiction of each item. Adjusted EPS is calculated from adjusted earnings using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders. Provides a more comparable basis to analyze earnings. These measures are commonly used by shareholders to measure performance. Effective tax rate on adjusted earningsAdjusted tax expense divided by pre-tax adjusted earnings. Adjusted tax expense is computed as income tax expense or benefit plus or minus the income tax impacts of all items impacting adjusted earnings (as described above), and other tax items impacting comparability. In interim periods, the company also makes an adjustment to reflect income taxes based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The non-IFRS adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods but has no effect on full-year income taxes. Provides a basis to analyze the effective tax rate associated with adjusted earnings. The company's effective tax rate computed in accordance with IFRS may be more volatile by quarter because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year. Therefore, the company believes that using the expected full-year effective tax rate provides more comparability among interim periods. Free cash flowNet cash provided by operating activities and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, payments of lease principal and dividends paid on the company's preference shares. Helps assess the company's ability, over the long term, to create value for its shareholders as it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common dividends, fund share repurchases and acquisitions.Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at constant currencyThe changes in revenues, adjusted EBITDA and the related margin, and adjusted EPS before currency (at constant currency or excluding the effects of currency) are determined by converting the current and equivalent prior period's local currency results using the same foreign currency exchange rate.Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period.Changes in revenues computed on an organic basisRepresent changes in revenues of the company's existing businesses at constant currency. The metric excludes the distortive impacts of acquisitions and dispositions from not owning the business in both comparable periods. Provides further insight into the performance of the company's existing businesses by excluding distortive impacts and serves as a better measure of the company's ability to grow its business over the long term.Accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenuesAccrued capital expenditures divided by revenues, where accrued capital expenditures include amounts that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.Reflects the basis on which the company manages capital expenditures for internal planning purposes. "Big 3" segments The company's combined Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. All measures reported for the "Big 3" segments are non-IFRS financial measures.The "Big 3" segments comprised approximately 80% of revenues and represent the core of the company's business information service product offerings. Net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDANet debt is total debt, plus related hedging instruments and collateral balances, along with lease liabilities, excluding unamortized transaction costs and any premiums or discounts on debt, minus cash and cash equivalents. We exclude specific hedging components to reflect the net cash outflow upon debt maturity. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period ending with the current fiscal quarter. Provides a commonly used measure of a company's leverage and its ability to pay its debt. Given that the company hedges some of its debt to manage risk, the company includes hedging instruments as it believes it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with its outstanding debt. Since the company plans to hold its debt and related hedges until maturity, the net debt calculation is adjusted to reflect the net cash outflow at maturity, after deducting cash and cash equivalents. The company's non-IFRS measure is aligned with the calculation of its internal target leverage ratio and is more conservative than the maximum ratio allowed under the contractual covenants in its credit facility.
