TransUnion Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

  • Grew total revenues by 26 percent (5 percent organic constant currency revenue growth excluding mortgage), driven by strength in International and U.S. Financial Services.
  • Delivered strong progress on acquisition integrations, with stronger-than-expected revenue growth and synergy realization as well as a growing sales pipeline.
  • Now expecting 2022 organic revenue growth excluding mortgage to be approximately 7 percent with strong performance in our B2B businesses; adjusting guidance to reflect greater foreign currency headwinds as well as expected moderating growth in our U.S. Markets business in the fourth quarter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue:

  • Total revenue for the quarter was $938 million, an increase of 26 percent (29 percent on a constant currency basis and 1 percent on an organic constant currency basis), compared with the third quarter of 2021.

Earnings:

  • Net income attributable to TransUnion was $79 million for the quarter, compared with $114 million for the third quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share was $0.41, compared with $0.59 in the third quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to TransUnion margin was 8.4 percent, compared with 15.4 percent in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted Net Income was $180 million for the quarter, compared with $176 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for the quarter was $0.93, compared with $0.91 in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $341 million for the quarter, an increase of 13 percent (15 percent on a constant currency basis, a decrease of 4 percent on an organic constant currency basis) compared with the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.3 percent, compared with 40.6 percent in the third quarter of 2021.

“TransUnion delivered another solid quarter against a slowing macroeconomic backdrop,” said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. “Our portfolio transformation continues to pay dividends, as we drove market-leading organic growth in our U.S. Financial Services business, revenue and bookings outperformance in our recent acquisitions, and robust results internationally led by India, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa.”

“We continue to expect a healthy 2022 with approximately 7 percent organic revenue growth excluding mortgage, but are adjusting our outlook to reflect greater foreign exchange headwinds as well as moderated growth expectations in the fourth quarter. In U.S. mortgage, we continue to anticipate 30 to 35 percent revenue declines due to expected 40 to 45 percent inquiry declines. We also expect to deliver strong earnings growth, driven by acquisition synergies and cost discipline.”

“While macro uncertainty is leading to some caution in the markets we serve, our customers and the consumer remain healthy. We are better positioned than ever to partner with our customers, delivering best-in-class solutions to navigate this dynamic environment. We continue to believe in our ability to achieve the 2025 long-term financial targets laid out at our March 2022 Investor Day.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $596 million at September 30, 2022 and $1,842 million at December 31, 2021. In addition, we had $300 million of undrawn capacity on our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2022. In January 2022, we prepaid $400 million of debt. In April 2022, we paid $508 million for the acquisition of Verisk Financial Services (“VF”), the financial services business unit of Verisk Analytics, Inc., and also paid $355 million of taxes due on the gain of the divestiture of our Healthcare business, both funded with cash on hand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $71 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $603 million in 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the nine month period was due primarily to payments made for taxes due on the gain on the divestiture of our Healthcare business made in the second quarter, an increase in cash payments for accrued incentive and other compensation made in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, and an increase in interest expense payments for the nine month period. Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $735 million compared with $217 million in 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was due primarily to payments made for the acquisition of VF and an increase in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $193 million compared with $149 million in 2021. Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $564 million compared with $232 million in 2021. The increase in cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was due primarily to an increase in debt prepayments.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 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 and the potential impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. There are numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this guidance.

(1) Additional revenue growth assumptions:
 a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to have approximately 3 points of headwind for Q4 2022 and 2 point of headwind for FY 2022.
 b.The impact of recent acquisitions is expected to have approximately 19 points of benefit for Q4 2022 and 24 points of benefit for FY 2022.
 c.The impact of mortgage is expected to be approximately 4 points of headwind for Q4 2022 and 4 points for FY 2022. 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:
 a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to have approximately 4 points of headwind for Q4 2022 and 2 point of headwind for FY 2022.

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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for all periods presented. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income 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. 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. Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as compensation measures. 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 a ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA. 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, earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached Schedules.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion, less income from 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 Adjusted EBITDA Margin for our segments as the segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment gross revenue and 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 income from 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 changes in provision for income taxes. We define Adjusted Income Tax Expense 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 Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The above definitions apply to our calculations for the periods shown on Schedules 1 through 6.
