Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $442 million at June 30, 2023 and $585 million at December 31, 2022, of which $277 million and $303 million was held outside the United States in each respective period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we prepaid $150 million of debt, funded from our cash-on-hand.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $293 million, compared with cash used in operating activities of continuing operations of $115 million in 2022. The increase in cash provided by continuing operations was due primarily to prior year taxes paid on the gain from the divestiture of our Healthcare business and lower bonus and commission payments in the current year, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $186 million, compared with $676 million in 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was due primarily to the acquisition of Argus in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $144 million, compared with $121 million in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $254 million, compared with $522 million in 2022. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was due primarily to a decrease in debt prepayments and cash used to pay employee taxes on restricted stock units.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company identified an error in the classification of employee costs related to certain of our recent acquisitions between cost of services and selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Income impacting the 2022 quarterly and annual financial statements, and quarterly financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The error resulted in the understatement of cost of services and the overstatement of selling, general and administrative in equal and offsetting amounts resulting in no impact to total operating expenses, operating income or net income. The Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to the Consolidated Statements of Income for any prior period. The Company has revised the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended 2022 to correct for such error and these revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. A summary of the revision on the impacted financial statement line items to the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statements of Income is shown on Schedule 8, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”

Third Quarter and Full Year 2023 Outlook

Our guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of the control of the Company, including general macroeconomic conditions, interest rates and inflation. There are numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this guidance.

Additional revenue growth assumptions:

  1. The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be insignificant for Q3 2023 and approximately 1 point of headwind for FY 2023.
    1. The impact of recent acquisitions is expected to have no impact for Q3 2023 and less than 1 point of benefit for FY 2023.
    2. The impact of mortgage is expected to be approximately 1.5 points of benefit for Q3 2023 and 1 point benefit for FY 2023. These impacts are calculated by removing the U.S. mortgage revenue from both the current year and prior year periods.
  2. Constant currency growth rates assume foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
  3. Organic constant currency growth rates are constant currency growth excluding inorganic growth. Inorganic growth represents growth attributable to the first twelve months of activity for recent business acquisitions.
  4. Additional Adjusted EBITDA assumptions:
    1. The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to have an insignificant impact for Q3 2023 and approximately 1 point of headwind for FY 2023.
  5. For a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, refer to Schedule 7 of this Earnings Release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents constant currency growth rates assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents organic constant currency growth rates, which assumes consistent foreign currency exchange rates between years and also eliminates the impact of our recent acquisitions. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impacts of recent acquisitions.

This earnings release also presents 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 attached Schedules.

We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. These are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.

Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as an incentive compensation measure for most eligible employees and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as an incentive compensation measure for certain of our senior executives.

Under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to our Leverage Ratio, which is partially based on Adjusted EBITDA. Investors also use our Leverage Ratio to assess our ability to service our debt and make other capital allocation decisions.

We define Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion, less discontinued operations, net of tax, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses, plus certain accelerated technology investment expenses to migrate to the cloud, plus (less) certain other expenses (income). We define Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue as reported.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion, less discontinued operations, net of tax, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses, plus certain accelerated technology investment expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income), plus amortization of certain intangible assets, plus or minus the total adjustment for income taxes included in our Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We define Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes as our provision for income taxes, plus or minus the tax impact on the adjustment included in Adjusted Net Income, plus or minus the impact of excess tax benefits for share compensation, plus or minus other items that relate to prior periods such as valuation allowance changes, deferred tax rate and return to provision adjustments, and other unusual items that are included in our provision for income taxes. We define Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes divided by Adjusted Net Income.

We define 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.
