TRANSUNION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Basis of Presentation
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.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of TransUnion and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The operating results of TransUnion for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019 . These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2018 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 14, 2019.
Subsequent Events
Events and transactions occurring through the date of issuance of the financial statements have been evaluated by management and, when appropriate, recognized or disclosed in the financial statements or notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 16, "Subsequent Event," for additional information.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of TransUnion include the accounts of TransUnion and all of its controlled subsidiaries. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. 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 similar investment of the same issuer.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . During 2018 and 2019, the FASB issued additional guidance related to the new standard. This series of comprehensive guidance, among other things, requires us to record the discounted present value of all future lease payments as a liability on our balance sheet, as well as a corresponding “right-of-use” (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term, for all long-term leases. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We have adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, on a modified retrospective basis, as of the beginning of the period adopted, including the package of practical expedients available per paragraph 842-10-65-1(f). On March 31, 2019, and on each reporting date thereafter, we recognize an operating lease liability and offsetting ROU asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, with no other impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 5, “Other Assets,” Note 7 “Other Current Liabilities,” Note 8, “Other Liabilities” and Note 10, “Leases” for additional information and the new required disclosures.
On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve and simplify accounting rules around hedge accounting. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. For our cash flow hedges, this means that the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is now recorded in other comprehensive income, and reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. We have adopted this ASU and related amendments effective January 1, 2019, and have applied the modified retrospective transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify cumulative ineffectiveness previously recorded in other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The adjustment was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. These amendments provide an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) is recorded. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. We have elected to not reclassify the

8

stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and therefore there is no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On August 27, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 by removing, adding or modifying certain fair value measurement disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. This new guidance only impacts our future disclosures, with no impact to our current disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In addition, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. We are currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Business Acquisitions
Callcredit Acquisition
On June 19, 2018 , we acquired 100% of the equity of Callcredit Information Group, Ltd. (“Callcredit”) for $1,408.2 million in cash, funded primarily by additional borrowings against our Senior Secured Credit Facility. See Note 9, “Debt,” for additional information about our Senior Secured Credit Facility. There was no contingent consideration resulting from this transaction. Callcredit, founded in 2000, is a United Kingdom-based information solutions company that, like TransUnion, provides data, analytics and technology solutions to help businesses and consumers make informed decisions. International expansion is a key growth strategy for TransUnion, and we expect to leverage strong synergies across TransUnion’s and Callcredit’s business models and solutions.
Callcredit’s 2018 revenue and operating income since the date of acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, are included as part of the International segment in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and are not material.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, on a pro-forma basis assuming the transaction occurred on January 1, 2017, combined pro-forma revenue of TransUnion and Callcredit was $1,188.2 million and combined pro-forma net income from continuing operations was $118.8 million . For the six months ended June 30, 2018, combined pro-forma net income from continuing operations was adjusted to exclude $18.2 million of acquisition-related costs and $9.4 million of financing costs expensed in 2018.
We identified and categorized certain operations of Callcredit that we do not consider core to our business as discontinued operations of our International segment as of the date of acquisition. These discontinued operations consist of businesses that do not align with our stated strategic objectives. As of June 30, 2019 , we have disposed of all of these businesses and do not expect to have a significant continuing involvement with any of these operations. At December 31, 2018 , we categorized the assets and liabilities of these discontinued operations on separate lines on the face of our balance sheet and reflect them as of the date of acquisition as discontinued operations in the table below.

Purchase Price Allocation
The final allocation of the purchase price, including our estimate of the fair values of the identifiable assets and goodwill, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, consisted of the following:

(1)
For tax purposes, none of the goodwill is tax deductible.
(2)
We have categorized certain businesses of Callcredit as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019 , we have disposed of all of these businesses.
We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill in a new reportable unit in our International segment. The purchase price of Callcredit exceeded the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired primarily due to growth opportunities, the assembled workforce, synergies associated with internal use software and other technological and operational efficiencies.

Identifiable Amortizable Intangible Assets
The fair values of the amortizable intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:

$

We estimate the weighted-average useful life of the identifiable intangible assets to be approximately 14.1 years , resulting in approximately $51.0 million of annual amortization.
Acquisition Costs
As of June 30, 2019 , we have incurred approximately $20.4 million of acquisition-related costs, including $19.9 million incurred in prior years. These costs include investment banker fees, legal fees, due diligence and other external costs that we have recorded in other income and expense. We may incur additional acquisition-related costs, including legal fees, valuation fees and other professional fees in the next several quarters that we will record in other income and expense.
Other Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2018, we acquired 100% of the equity of iovation, Inc. (“iovation”) and Healthcare Payment Specialists, LLC (“HPS”). During the fourth quarter of 2018, we acquired 100% of the equity of Rubixis, Inc (“Rubixis”) . During the second quarter of 2019, we acquired 100% of the equity of TruSignal, Inc. (“TruSignal”) .
iovation is a provider of advanced device identity and consumer authentication services that helps businesses and consumers safely transact in a digital world. HPS provides expertise and technology solutions to help medical care providers maximize Medicare reimbursements. Rubixis is an innovative healthcare revenue cycle solutions company that helps providers maximize reimbursement from insurance payers . TruSignal is an innovative leader in people-based marketing technology for Fortune 500 brands, agencies, platforms, publishers and data owners .
The results of operations of iovation, HPS, Rubixis, and TruSignal, which are not material to our consolidated financial statements, have been included as part of our U.S. Markets segment (formerly U.S. Information Services) in our consolidated statements of income since the date of the acquisition.
We finalized the purchase accounting for iovation and HPS during the second quarter of 2019. The final allocation of the purchase price for these two entities resulted in $230.2 million of goodwill and $208.5 million of amortizable intangible assets recorded in addition to what we recorded for Callcredit as discussed above. The weighted-average useful lives of the amortizable intangible assets are approximately 10.6 years , resulting in approximately $19.7 million of annual amortization.

Level 1 instruments consist of exchange-traded mutual funds. Exchange-traded mutual funds are trading securities valued at their current market prices. These securities relate to the nonqualified deferred compensation plan held in trust for the benefit of plan participants.
Level 2 instruments consist of pooled separate accounts, foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds and interest rate caps and swaps. Pooled separate accounts are designated as trading securities valued at net asset values. These securities relate to the nonqualified deferred compensation plan held in trust for the benefit of plan participants. Foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds are available-for-sale debt securities valued at their current quoted prices. These securities mature between 2027 and 2033. The interest rate caps and swaps fair values are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected net cash flows that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps and swaps, taking into consideration the cash payments related to financing the premium of the interest rate caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. See Note 9, “Debt,” for additional information regarding interest rate caps and swaps.
All unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income, while unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in other comprehensive income. There were no other-than-temporary gains or losses on available-for-sale debt securities and there were no significant realized or unrealized gains or losses on any of our securities for any of the periods presented.
Level 3 instruments consist of contingent obligations related to companies we have acquired with remaining maximum payouts totaling $11.3 million . These obligations are contingent upon meeting certain quantitative or qualitative performance metrics through 2019, and are included in other current liabilities on our balance sheet. The fair values of the obligations are determined based on an income approach, using our expectations of the future expected earnings of the acquired entities. We assess the fair value of these obligations each reporting period with any changes reflected as gains or losses in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of  $0.9 million  as a result of changes to the fair value of these obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no significant gains or losses as a result of changes to the fair value of these obligations.

See Note 6, “Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates,” for additional information about our investments in nonconsolidated affiliates. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). As a result, we have recorded an ROU lease assets, which represent the fair value of the right to use our long-term leased assets over their lease terms. See Note 10, “Leases,” for additional information about our right-of-use lease assets. See Note 9, “Debt,” for additional information about our interest rate caps. Other investments include non-negotiable certificates of deposit that are recorded at their carrying value.
6. Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates
Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates represent our investment in nonconsolidated domestic and foreign entities. These entities are in businesses similar to ours, such as credit reporting, credit-scoring, decisioning services and credit-monitoring services.
We use the equity method to account for nonmarketable investments in affiliates where we are able to exercise significant influence. For these investments, we adjust the carrying value for our proportionate share of the affiliates’ earnings, losses and distributions, any impairments, as well as for purchases and sales of our ownership interest.
We account for nonmarketable investments in equity securities in which we are not able to exercise significant influence, our Cost Method Investments, at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For these investments, we adjust the carrying value

13

for any purchases or sales of our ownership interests. We record any dividends received from these investments as other income in non-operating income and expense.
During 2019, we recorded a $31.2 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer, partially offset by $8.6 million of impairments of other Cost Method investments. The net gain was included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income. There were no material gain or loss adjustments to our investments in nonconsolidated affiliates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Deferred revenue increased primarily due to annual minimum billings, primarily in our United Kingdom business, that we have a contractual right to invoice. See Note 12, “Revenue,” for additional information about our deferred revenue. The decrease in accrued payroll was due primarily to the payment of accrued annual bonuses during the first quarter of 2019 that were earned in 2018. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). As a result, we have recorded the discounted present value of all future lease payments over the terms of the corresponding leases as a liability for our long-term leases. See Note 8,

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 A-2, the Senior Secured Term Loan B-3, the Senior Secured Term Loan B-4 and the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit.
On June 19, 2018, we borrowed an additional $800.0 million against our Senior Secured Term Loan A-2 and $600.0 million against a new tranche 4 of our Senior Secured Term Loan B (“Senior Secured Term Loan B-4”) to fund the acquisition of Callcredit. On June 29, 2018, we borrowed an additional $400.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-4 to fund another acquisition and to repay a portion of our Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit.
During the second quarter of 2019, we prepaid $100.0 million  of our outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan B-3. As a result of these prepayments, we expensed $0.9 million of our unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing fees.
As of June 30, 2019 , we had no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit and $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, and could have borrowed up to the remaining $299.9 million available.
TransUnion also has the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the existing senior secured credit facility up to the greater of an additional $675.0 million and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA is reduced to the extent that the senior secured net leverage ratio is above 4.25 -to-1. In addition, so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25 -to-1.0, we may incur additional incremental loans, 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 test date. TransUnion may make dividend payments up to an unlimited amount under the terms of the senior secured credit facility 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 June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
On December 17, 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fixed our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our existing senior secured term loans or similar replacement debt between a range of 2.647% to 2.706% . We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,440.0 million , decreasing each quarter until the second agreement terminates on December 30, 2022.
On December 18, 2015, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with various counterparties that effectively cap our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our existing senior secured term loans or similar replacement debt at 0.75% beginning June 30, 2016. We have designated these cap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,436.0 million and will decrease each quarter until the agreement terminates on June 30, 2020. In July 2016, we began to pay the various counterparties a fixed rate on the outstanding notional amounts of between 0.98% and 0.994% and receive payments to the extent LIBOR exceeds 0.75% .

16

Based on how the fair value of interest rate caps are determined, the earlier interest periods have lower fair values at inception than the later interest periods, resulting in less interest expense being recognized in the earlier periods compared with the later periods. Any payments we receive to the extent LIBOR exceeds 0.75% is also reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense in the period received.
In accordance with ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, the new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. For our cash flow hedges, this means that the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in our assessment of hedge effectiveness is now recorded in other comprehensive income, and reclassified to interest expense when the corresponding hedged debt affects earnings.
The change in the fair value of the swaps resulted in an unrealized loss of $24.3 million ( $18.2 million , net of tax) and $38.1 million ( $28.6 million , net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. Interest expense on the swaps in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was expense of $0.6 million ( $0.5 million , net of tax) and $1.2 million ( $0.9 million , net of tax), respectively. We expect to recognize a loss of approximately $11.7 million as interest expense due to our expectation that LIBOR will exceed the fixed rates of interest over the next twelve months.
The change in the fair value of the caps resulted in an unrealized loss of $7.1 million ( $5.3 million , net of tax) and $11.7 million ( $8.8 million , net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. The change in the fair value of the caps resulted in an unrealized gain of $4.3 million ( $3.2 million , net of tax) and $14.2 million ( $10.6 million , net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. Interest expense reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the fair value of the portion of the caps expiring in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , was income of $1.3 million ( $1.0 million , net of tax) and $3.0 million ( $2.2 million , net of tax), respectively. Interest expense reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the fair value of the portion of the caps expiring in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , was income of $0.5 million ( $0.4 million , net of tax) and $0.3 million ( $0.2 million , net of tax), respectively. We expect to reclassify a gain of approximately  $4.9 million  from other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the fair value of the portion of the caps expiring and payments received to the extent LIBOR exceeds 0.75%  in the next twelve months.
Fair Value of Debt
As of June 30, 2019 , the fair value of our variable-rate Senior Secured Term Loan A-2, excluding original issue discounts and deferred fees, approximates the carrying value. As of June 30, 2019 , the fair value of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-3 and B-4, excluding original issue discounts and deferred fees, was $1,791.6 million and $990.0 million , 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.
10. Leases
Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 , our lease obligations consisted of operating leases for office space and data centers and a small number of finance leases for equipment. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 13.3 years , with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 5.6 years . We have options to extend many of our operating leases for an additional period of time and options to terminate early several of our operating leases. 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 an ROU asset, which represents our right to use or control the use of a 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 use an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate 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. Upon adoption and as of June 30, 2019 , the weighted-average discount rate used to calculate the present value of the fixed future lease payments was 5.7% .
Both Topic 842 and the predecessor lease accounting guidance under ASU 840 require us to expense the net fixed payments of operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Topic 842 requires us to 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 asset. Also included in our ROU 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 asset.

17

Most of our operating leases contain variable non-lease components consisting of maintenance, insurance, taxes and similar costs of the office space 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. We straight-line the net fixed payments of operating leases over the lease term and expense the variable lease payments in the period in which we incur the obligation to pay such variable amounts. These variable lease payments are not included in our calculation of our ROU assets or lease liabilities.
We have no significant short-term leases, finance leases, or subleases.
ROU 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 are included in the Current Portion of Long-term Debt and Long-term Debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 7, “Other Current Liabilities,” Note 8,” Other Liabilities,” and note 9, “Debt,” for additional information about these items.
Our operating lease costs, including fixed, variable and short-term lease costs, were $6.9 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively and $14.2 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Cash paid for operating leases are included in operating cash flows, and were $7.2 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively and $15.0 million and $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Our finance lease amortization expense, interest expense, and cash paid were not significant for the reported periods.
We have adopted the package of transition practical expedients which allows us to not reassess our existing lease classifications, initial direct costs, and whether or not an existing contract contains a lease.
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. Using this approach does not result in a materially different outcome compared with applying separate discount rates to each lease in our portfolio.
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.
Future fixed payments for non-cancelable operating leases and finance leases in effect as of June 30, 2019 , are payable as follows:

11. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
On February 13, 2018 , we announced that our board of directors has approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we intend to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. On February 21, 2019 , the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on March 7, 2019 . The total dividend declared was $14.3 million , of which $14.0 million was paid on March 22, 2019 , with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. On May 9, 2019 , the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on May 23, 2019 . The total dividend declared was $14.3 million , of which $14.1 million was paid on June 7, 2019 , with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. In the first quarter of 2019, we also paid  $0.4 million of dividend equivalents that were declared in 2018 to employees whose restricted stock units vested in 2019 and reversed $0.1 million  of dividend equivalents previously declared but forfeited in the first quarter of 2019.
Treasury Stock
During the first quarter of 2019, 1.6 million outstanding employee restricted stock units vested and became taxable to the employees. The employees used 0.6 million shares of the vested stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net share settlement arrangement whereby the employees received 1.0 million of the shares and gave TransUnion the remaining 0.6 million shares that we have recorded as treasury stock. We remitted cash equivalent to the $36.8 million vest date value of the treasury stock to the respective governmental agencies in settlement of the employee withholding tax obligations. On occasion, as other stock units vest or stock options are exercised, employees use shares of stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net settlement arrangement and we remit the equivalent value of those shares to the respective governmental agencies.
Preferred Stock
We have 100.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized. No preferred stock had been issued or was outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .
12. Revenue
All of our revenue is derived from contracts with customers and is reported as revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC Topic 606. 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.
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 any 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 true-up any estimates as facts and circumstances evolve.
Certain Stand Ready Performance Obligation fees result from contingent fee based contracts that require us to provide services before we have an enforceable right to payment. For these performance obligations, we recognize revenue at the point in time the contingency is met and we have an enforceable contract and right to payment.
Certain of our Stand Ready Performance Obligation contracts include non-recurring, non-refundable up-front fees to cover our costs of setting up files or configuring systems to enable our customers to access our services. These fees are not fees for distinct performance obligations. When these fees are insignificant in relation to the total contract value we recognize such fees as revenue when invoiced. If such fees are significant we recognize them as revenue over the duration of the contract, the period of time for which we have contractually enforceable rights and obligations. For contracts where such fees are for a distinct performance obligation, we recognize revenue as or when the performance obligation is satisfied.

19

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.
In certain circumstances we apply the guidance in ASC Topic 606 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 generally 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.
Accounts receivable are shown 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 where 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 June 30, 2019 . Contract liabilities include current and long-term deferred revenue which are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. We expect to recognize the December 31, 2018 current deferred revenue as revenue during 2019. The long-term deferred revenue is not significant.
For additional disclosures about the disaggregation of our revenue see Note 15, “Reportable Segments”.
13. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of the increase in shares outstanding determined by using the treasury stock method for awards issued under our incentive stock plans.
As of June 30, 2019, there were 1.1 million contingently-issuable stock-based awards outstanding that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the contingencies had not been met.
As of June 30, 2018, there were less than 0.1 million contingently-issuable stock-based awards outstanding that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the contingencies had not been met.

14. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we reported an effective tax rate of 26.9% , which was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $4.9 million in state taxes, $7.8 million in foreign taxes resulting from jurisdictions which have effective tax rates higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, and $2.2 million in other discrete tax items, partially offset by $6.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
For the  six months ended June 30, 2019 , we reported an effective tax rate of  18.0% , which was lower than the  21%  U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to  $27.3 million  of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, partially offset by $12.1 million in foreign taxes for the same reasons as stated above, $7.0 million in state taxes and $1.5 million in other discrete items.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we reported an effective tax rate of 21.7% , which was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $10.3 million of tax expense related to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), foreign rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits, and non-deductible acquisition and other costs, partially offset by $9.8 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
For the  six months ended June 30, 2018 , we reported an effective tax rate of  24.7% , which was higher than the  21%  U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to  $24.6 million  of tax expense related to the impact of the Act, foreign rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits and non-deductible acquisition and other costs, partially offset by  $18.1 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $19.8 million as of June 30, 2019 , and $19.6 million as of December 31, 2018. The amounts that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized are $13.1 million and $12.3 million , respectively. There were no significant liabilities for accrued interest or penalties on income taxes as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. 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. Generally, tax years 2010 and forward remain open for examination in some foreign jurisdictions, 2011 and forward in some state jurisdictions, and tax years 2012 and forward remain open for examination for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
15. Reportable Segments
Over the past few years, we have completed a significant number of acquisitions that have transformed our business. We have also developed a significant number of new product offerings that have further diversified our portfolio of businesses. As a result of the evolution of our business, we have changed the disaggregated revenue and our measure of segment profit (Adjusted EBITDA) information that we provide to our chief operating decision makers (our “CODM”) to better align with how we manage the business. Accordingly, our disclosures around the disaggregation of our revenue and the measure of segment profit have been recast for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform to the information used by our CODM. We have not changed our reportable segments and these changes do not impact our consolidated results.
We have three reportable segments, U. S. Markets (formerly U.S. Information Services), International, and Consumer Interactive, and the Corporate unit, which provides support services to each of the segments. Our CODM uses the profit measure of Adjusted EBITDA, on both a consolidated and segment basis, 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. Our board of directors 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.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to each segment plus (less) loss (income) from discontinued operations, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (less) certain deferred revenue acquisition revenue-related adjustments, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income).
The segment financial information 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 and Reporting Policies” and Note 12, “Revenue.”
The following is a more detailed description of our three reportable segments and the Corporate unit, which provides support services to each segment:

22

U.S. Markets
U.S. Markets provides consumer reports, risk scores, analytical services and decisioning capabilities to businesses. These businesses use our services to acquire new customers, assess consumers’ ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and investigate potential fraud. The core capabilities and delivery methods in our U.S. Markets segment allow us to serve a broad set of customers across industries. We report disaggregated revenue of our U.S. Markets segment for the following verticals:
•
Financial Services: The financial services vertical consists of our consumer lending, mortgage, auto and cards and payments lines of business. Our financial services clients consist of most banks, credit unions, finance companies, auto lenders, mortgage lenders, online-only lenders (FinTech), 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 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 healthcare, insurance, collections, property management, public sector and other diversified markets. Our solutions in these verticals are similar to the solutions in our financial services vertical and also address the entire customer lifecycle. We offer onboarding and retention solutions, transaction processing products, scoring products, marketing solutions, analytics and consulting, identity management and fraud solutions, and revenue optimization and collections solutions.
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 services, decisioning capabilities, 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, 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 segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances.
We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions: Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.
Consumer Interactive
Consumer Interactive offers solutions that help consumers manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft. Services in this segment include credit reports and scores, credit monitoring, fraud protection and resolution, and financial management. Our products are provided through user-friendly online and mobile interfaces and are supported by educational content and customer support. Our Consumer Interactive segment serves consumers through both direct and indirect channels.
Corporate
In addition, 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 one or more of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

16. Subsequent Event
On July 12, 2019, the Company determined that TransUnion Limited, a Hong Kong entity in which the Company holds a 56.25 percent interest, has been the victim of criminal fraud. The incident involved employee impersonation and fraudulent requests targeting TransUnion Limited, which resulted in a series of fraudulently-induced wire transfers in early July 2019 totaling $17.8 million .
The Company has launched an internal investigation to determine the full extent of the fraud scheme and related potential exposure, and expects to record a one-time pre-tax charge of up to $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2019 as the result of this event. The Company self-discovered this fraudulent activity and promptly initiated contact with its bank as well as appropriate law enforcement authorities.
The Company may be limited in what information it can disclose because of the ongoing investigation. To date, the Company has not found any evidence of additional fraudulent activity. This incident did not result in any unauthorized access to any of the confidential consumer information or other data that we maintain. While this matter will result in some additional near-term expenses, the Company does not expect this incident to otherwise have a material impact on its business.
See our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 18, 2019.

ITEM 2. 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, TransUnion’s audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes, “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes presented in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 below in “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and Part II, 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, collectively.
Overview
TransUnion is a leading global risk and information solutions provider to businesses and consumers. We provide consumer reports, risk scores, analytical services and decisioning capabilities to businesses. Businesses embed our solutions into their process workflows to acquire new customers, assess consumer ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and investigate potential fraud. Consumers use our solutions to view their credit profiles and access analytical tools that help them understand and manage their personal information and take precautions against identity theft. We are differentiated by our comprehensive and unique datasets, our next-generation technology and our analytics and decisioning capabilities, which enable us to deliver insights across the entire consumer lifecycle. We believe we are the largest provider of risk and information solutions 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. We have deep domain expertise across a number of attractive industries, which we also refer to as verticals, including financial services, healthcare, insurance and specialized risk. We have a global presence in over 30 countries and territories across North America, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.
Our solutions are based on a foundation of financial, credit, alternative credit, identity, bankruptcy, lien, judgment, insurance claims, automotive and other relevant information from approximately 90,000 data sources, including financial institutions, private databases and public records repositories. We refine, standardize and enhance this data using sophisticated algorithms to create proprietary databases. Our deep analytics expertise, which includes our people as well as tools such as predictive modeling and scoring, customer segmentation, benchmarking and forecasting, enables businesses and consumers to gain better insights into their risk and financial data. Our decisioning capabilities, which are generally delivered on a software-as-a-service platform, allow businesses to interpret data and apply their specific qualifying criteria to make decisions and take action with respect to their customers. Collectively, our data, analytics and decisioning capabilities allow businesses to authenticate the identity of consumers, effectively determine the most relevant products for consumers, retain and cross-sell to existing consumers, identify and acquire new consumers and reduce loss from fraud. Similarly, our capabilities allow consumers to see how their credit profiles have changed over time, understand the impact of financial decisions on their credit scores and manage their personal information as well as to take precautions against identity theft.
Segments
Over the past few years, we have completed a significant number of acquisitions that have transformed our business. We have also developed a significant number of new product offerings that have further diversified our portfolio of businesses. As a result of the evolution of our business, we have changed the disaggregated revenue and our measure of segment profit (Adjusted EBITDA) information that we provide to our chief operating decision makers (our “CODM”) to better align with how we manage the business. Accordingly, our disclosures around the disaggregation of our revenue and the measure of segment profit have been recast for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform to the information used by our CODM. We have not changed our reportable segments and these changes do not impact our consolidated results. See Part 1, Item 1, Note 15, “Reportable Segments,” for further information about this change.
We manage our business and report disaggregated revenue and financial results in three reportable segments: U.S. Markets (formerly U.S. Information Services), International and Consumer Interactive.
•
The U.S. Markets segment provides consumer reports, risk scores, analytical services and decisioning capabilities to businesses. These businesses use our services to acquire new customers, assess consumers’ ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and investigate potential fraud. The core capabilities and delivery methods in our U.S. Markets segment allow us to serve a

26

broad set of customers across industries. We report disaggregated revenue of our U.S. Markets segment for the financial services and emerging verticals.
•
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 services, decisioning capabilities, 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 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 segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances.
We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions: Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.
•
The Consumer Interactive segment offers solutions that help consumers manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft. Services in this segment include credit reports and scores, credit monitoring, fraud protection and resolution, and financial management. Our products are provided through user-friendly online and mobile interfaces and are supported by educational content and customer support. Our Consumer Interactive segment serves consumers through both direct and indirect channels.
In addition, Corporate provides shared services for each of the segments, holds investments, raises capital, and conducts enterprise functions. Certain costs incurred in Corporate that are not directly attributable to one or more 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 can be significantly influenced by general macroeconomic conditions, including the availability of credit and capital, interest rates, inflation, employment levels, consumer confidence and housing demand. In the markets where we compete, we have generally seen good economic conditions and increased market stabilization over the past few years. In the United States, June set a record for the longest period of economic expansion in U.S. history at 121 months. One result of this record expansion is that we continue to see a healthy, well-functioning consumer lending market driven by the exceptionally strong labor market and continuing strong consumer confidence. During the second quarter of 2019, we saw continuing improvements that began late in the first quarter in the mortgage market due to the recent declines in mortgage rates and improvements in new and existing home sales, and some early indications of improvements in our customer’s marketing activity. Demand for consumer solutions continues to be strong due to consumer awareness of the risk of identity theft due to data breaches and increasingly available free credit information. These positive signs have been tempered by continuing uncertainty around trade policies and global economic growth. Internationally, we continue to see strong growth in key markets, tempered by uncertainty in our Africa region and ongoing concern over Brexit. Weakening foreign currencies, primarily in Latin America and Africa, lowered our reported results for 2019 compared with 2018.
Our revenues are also significantly influenced by industry trends, including the demand for information services in financial services, healthcare, insurance and other industries we serve. Companies are increasingly relying on business analytics and big-data technologies to help process data in a cost-efficient manner. As customers have gained the ability to rapidly aggregate and analyze data generated by their own activities, they are increasingly expecting access to real-time data and analytics from their information providers as well as solutions that fully integrate into their workflows. As economies in emerging markets continue to develop and mature, we believe there will continue to be favorable socio-economic trends, such as an increase in the size of the middle class and a significant increase in the use of financial services by currently under-served and under-banked customers. Demand for consumer solutions is rising, with higher consumer awareness of the importance and usage of their credit information, increased risk of identity theft due to data breaches, and more readily available free credit information. The complexity of existing regulations and the emergence of new regulations across both emerging and developed economies globally continue to make operations for businesses more challenging.
Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Recent Developments
During the second quarter of 2019, we prepaid $100.0 million  of our outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan B-3.

27

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .This guidance, among other things, requires us to record the future discounted present value of all future lease payments as a liability on our balance sheet, as well as a corresponding “right-to-use” asset, which is an asset that represents the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term, for all long-term leases. This new guidance affects the comparability of our balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 compared with December 31, 2018. See Part 1, Item 1, Note 10, “Leases,” for additional information about our leases.
On December 17, 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that fixes our LIBOR exposure on an additional portion of our existing senior secured term loans or similar replacement debt at approximately 2.647% to 2.706%. 
During the second quarter of 2018, we borrowed a significant amount of additional debt against our senior secured credit facility to fund the purchase of three acquisitions as discussed in “Recent Acquisitions and Partnerships” below. During the second quarter of 2018, we borrowed a total of $125.0 million under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit to fund an acquisition and for general corporate purposes. On June 19, 2018, we borrowed an additional $800.0 million against our Senior Secured Term Loan A-2 and $600.0 million against a new tranche 4 of our Senior Secured Term Loan B (“Senior Secured Term Loan B-4”) to fund the acquisition of Callcredit. On June 29, 2018, we borrowed an additional $400.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-4 to fund another acquisition and to repay a portion of our Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit. These transactions affect the comparability of interest expense between 2019 and 2018 as further discussed in “Results of Operations - Non-Operating Income and Expense” below.
Recent Acquisitions and Partnerships
We selectively evaluate acquisitions and partnerships as a means to expand our business and international footprint and to enter new markets. Since January 1, 2018, we have completed the following acquisitions, including those that impact the comparability of our 2019 results with our 2018 results:

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
The following is a more detailed description of how we derive and report revenue for our three reportable segments:
U.S. Markets
U.S. Markets provides consumer reports, risk scores, analytical services and decisioning capabilities to businesses. These businesses use our services to acquire new customers, assess consumers’ ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and investigate potential fraud. The core capabilities and delivery methods in our U.S. Markets segment allow us to serve a broad set of customers across industries. We report disaggregated revenue of our U.S. Markets segment for the following verticals:
•
Financial Services: The financial services vertical consists of our consumer lending, mortgage, auto and cards and payments lines of business. Our financial services clients consist of most banks, credit unions, finance companies, auto lenders, mortgage lenders, online-only lenders (FinTech), 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 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 healthcare, insurance, collections, property management, public sector and other diversified markets. Our solutions in these verticals are similar to the solutions in our financial services vertical and also address the entire customer lifecycle. We offer onboarding and retention solutions, transaction processing products, scoring products, marketing solutions, analytics and consulting, identity management and fraud solutions, and revenue optimization and collections solutions.
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 services, decisioning capabilities, 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, 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 segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances.
We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions: Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.
Consumer Interactive
Consumer Interactive offers solutions that help consumers manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft. Services in this segment include credit reports and scores, credit monitoring, fraud protection and resolution, and financial management. Our products are provided through user-friendly online and mobile interfaces and are supported by educational content and customer support. Our Consumer Interactive segment serves consumers through both direct and indirect channels.
Cost of Services
Costs of services include 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 occupancy costs associated with the facilities where these functions are performed.

29

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel-related costs for sales, administrative and management employees, costs for professional and consulting services, advertising and occupancy and facilities expense of these functions.
Non-Operating Income and Expense
Non-operating income and expense includes interest expense, interest income, earnings from equity-method investments, dividends from cost-method investments, impairments of equity-method and cost-method investments, if any, expenses related to successful and unsuccessful business acquisitions, loan fees, debt refinancing expenses, certain acquisition-related gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses.
Results of Operations
Key Performance Measures
Over the past few years, we have completed a significant number of acquisitions that have transformed our business. We have also developed a significant number of new product offerings that have further diversified our portfolio of businesses. As a result of the evolution of our business, we have changed the disaggregated revenue and our measure of segment profit (Adjusted EBITDA) information that we provide to our chief operating decision makers (our “CODM”) to better align with how we manage the business. Accordingly, our disclosures around the disaggregation of our revenue and the measure of segment profit have been recast for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform to the information used by our CODM. We have not changed our reportable segments and these changes do not impact our consolidated results. See Part 1, Item 1, Note 15, “Reportable Segments,” for further information about this change.

Management, including our CODM, evaluates the financial performance of our businesses based on a variety of key indicators. These indicators include the GAAP measures of revenue, segment Adjusted EBITDA, cash provided by operating activities and cash paid for capital expenditures and the non-GAAP measures Adjusted Revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , these key indicators were as follows:

As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the table above and footnotes below.
1.
This adjustment represents certain non-cash adjustments related to acquired entities, predominantly adjustments to increase revenue resulting from purchase accounting reductions to deferred revenue we record on the opening balance sheets of acquired entities. Deferred revenue results when a company receives payment in advance of fulfilling their performance obligations under contracts. Business combination accounting rules require us to record deferred revenue of acquired entities at fair value if we are obligated to perform any future services under these contracts. The fair value of this deferred revenue is determined based on the direct and indirect incremental costs of fulfilling our performance obligations under these contracts, plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this fair value calculation results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance. The above adjustment includes an estimate for the increase in revenue equal to the difference between what the acquired entities would have recorded as revenue and the lower revenue we record as a result of the reduced deferred revenue balance. This increase is partially offset by an estimated decrease to revenue for certain acquired non-core customer contracts that are not classified as discontinued operations that will expire within approximately one year from the date of acquisition. We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of our revenue because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our revenue and provides a basis to compare revenue between periods. In addition, our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted Revenue as a compensation measure under our incentive compensation plans. The table above provides a reconciliation for revenue to Adjusted Revenue.
2.
We define Adjusted Revenue as GAAP revenue adjusted for certain acquisition-related deferred revenue and non-core contract-related revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to the Company before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization and other adjustments noted in the table above. We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of revenue because we believe it provides a basis to compare revenue between periods. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. Also, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours. In addition, our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure under our incentive compensation plan. Furthermore, 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. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt.” Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other income and expense. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating income or net income as indicators of operating performance. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income attributable to TransUnion. The table above provides a reconciliation from our net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 .

U.S. Markets revenue increased $47.7 million and $74.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared with the same periods in 2018, due primarily to increases in revenue from both verticals, including increases from recent acquisitions of 5.4% and 5.3%, respectively.
Financial Services: Revenue increased $20.4 million and $26.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared with the same period in 2018, due primarily to improvements in market conditions, new product initiatives, revenue from our recent acquisitions, and improvements in our credit marketing services revenue.
Emerging Verticals: Revenue increased $27.3 million and $47.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared with the same period in 2018, due primarily to an increase of 8.7% and 8.6% from recent acquisitions in each respective period and increased volumes including new product initiatives and organic growth, particularly in the Insurance, Healthcare and Diversified Markets verticals.

See the reconciliation of net income attributable to TransUnion to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the “Key Performance Measures” section at the beginning of our discussion about our Results of Operations. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated using segment gross Adjusted Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated using consolidated Adjusted Revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased $43.1 million and $79.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was due primarily to:
•
an increase in revenue in all of our segments, including revenue from recent business acquisitions;
partially offset by:
•
an increase in operating costs related to recent business acquisitions;
•
an increase in product costs, due to the increase in revenue; and
•
an increase in labor costs as we continue to invest in strategic growth initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA margins for the U.S. Markets segment increased due primarily to the increase in revenue, partially offset by the integration-related costs of the recent business acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA margins for the International segment increased slightly due to the strong increases in revenue in India and higher margins in our United Kingdom region in 2019 compared with 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA margins for the Consumer Interactive segment decreased due to increased advertising costs.

As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the table above .
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , interest expense increased  $19.3 million  and $41.7 million compared with the same periods in 2018 , due primarily to the impact of the increase in our average outstanding principal balance as a result of funding our business acquisitions in the middle of 2018, and an increase in the average interest rate. Future interest expense could be impacted by changes in our variable interest rates.
Acquisition fees represent costs we have incurred for acquisition-related efforts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, acquisition fees included fees related to the acquisition of Callcredit, Healthcare Payment Specialists, and iovation.
Loan fees for the three and six month periods of 2018 included $11.9 million related to additional borrowings to finance these acquisitions.
During 2019, we recorded a $31.2 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer, offset by $8.6 million of impairments of other Cost Method investments. There were no material gain or loss adjustments to our investments in nonconsolidated affiliates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . See Part I, Item I, “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Note 6, “Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates,” for additional information. Other income (expense), net also includes currency remeasurement gains and losses, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we reported an effective tax rate of 26.9% , which was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $4.9 million in state taxes, $7.8 million in foreign taxes resulting from jurisdictions which have effective tax rates higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, and $2.2 million in other discrete tax items, partially offset by $6.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
For the  six months ended June 30, 2019 , we reported an effective tax rate of  18.0% , which was lower than the  21%  U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to  $27.3 million  of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, partially offset by $12.1 million in foreign taxes for the same reasons as stated above, $7.0 million in state taxes and $1.5 million in other discrete items.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we reported an effective tax rate of 21.7% , which was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $10.3 million of tax expense related to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), foreign rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits, and non-deductible acquisition and other costs, partially offset by $9.8 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
For the  six months ended June 30, 2018 , we reported an effective tax rate of  24.7% , which was higher than the  21%  U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to  $24.6 million  of tax expense related to the impact of the Act, foreign rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits and non-deductible acquisition and other costs, partially offset by  $18.1 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

Significant Changes in Assets and Liabilities
We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019 . As a result, we are required to record the discounted present value of all future lease payments as a liability on our balance sheet, as well as a corresponding “right-of-use” (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term, for all long-term leases. See Item I, Part 1, Note 5, “Other Assets,” Note 7, “Other Current Liabilities,” Note 8, “Other Liabilities,” and Note 10, “Leases” for more information about the impact on our balance sheet.
We prepaid $100.0 million of our outstanding debt during the second quarter of 2019.
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 structure obligations, business acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. We believe our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and funds available under the senior secured credit facility will be sufficient to fund our planned capital expenditures, debt service and other capital structure obligations, business acquisitions and operating needs for the foreseeable future. We may, however, 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 $194.7 million and $187.4 million at June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , respectively, of which $150.5 million and $130.8 million was held outside the United States in each respective period. As of June 30, 2019 , we had no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit and $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, and could have borrowed up to the remaining $299.9 million available. TransUnion also has the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the existing senior secured credit facility up to the greater of an additional $675.0 million and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA is reduced to the extent that the senior secured net leverage ratio is above 4.25-to-1. In addition, so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25 -to-1.0, we may incur additional incremental loans, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings. 
The balance retained in cash and cash equivalents is consistent with our short-term cash needs and investment objectives. We may be required to make additional principal payments on the Senior Secured Term Loans B-3 and B-4 based on excess cash flows of the prior year, as defined in the credit agreement. There were no excess cash flows for 2018 and therefore no additional payment was required in 2019. Additional payments based on excess cash flows could be due in future years. See Part I, Item 1, Note 9 “Debt,” for additional information about our debt.
During the second quarter of 2019, we prepaid $100.0 million of our outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan B-3.
During the first quarter of 2019, 1.6 million outstanding employee restricted stock units vested and became taxable to the employees. The employees used 0.6 million shares of the vested stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net share settlement arrangement whereby the employees received 1.0 million of the shares and gave TransUnion the remaining 0.6 million shares that we have recorded as treasury stock. We remitted cash equivalent to the $36.8 million vest date value of the treasury stock to the respective governmental agencies in settlement of the employee withholding tax obligations. On occasion, as other stock units vest or stock options are exercised, employees use shares of stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net settlement arrangement and we remit the equivalent value of those shares to the respective governmental agencies.
On February 13, 2018, we announced that our board of directors has approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we intend to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. On February 21, 2019 , the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on March 7, 2019 . The total dividend declared was $14.3 million , of which $14.0 million was paid on March 22, 2019 , with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. On May 9, 2019 , the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on May 23, 2019 . The total dividend declared was $14.3 million , of which $14.1 million was paid on June 7, 2019 , with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest.
On February 13, 2017, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of common stock over the next three years. On February 8, 2018, our board of directors removed the three-year time limitation. Prior to the second quarter of 2018, we had purchased approximately $133.4 million of common stock under the program and may purchase up to an additional $166.6 million. Additional repurchases may be made from time to time at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements.

39

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. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, if and when needed, for general corporate purposes.
On June 19, 2018, we borrowed an additional $800.0 million against our Senior Secured Term Loan A-2 and $600.0 million against a new tranche 4 of our Senior Secured Term Loan B (“Senior Secured Term Loan B-4”) to fund the acquisition of Callcredit. On June 29, 2018, we borrowed an additional $400.0 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-4 to fund another acquisition and to repay a portion of our Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit. These new borrowings have increased our future scheduled loan repayments and interest expense compared with the first quarter of 2018.

Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was due primarily to the increase in operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from the increase in outstanding debt due to our 2018 acquisitions.
Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to lower cash used for acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures and the proceeds from the sale of the Callcredit discontinued operations.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash used in financing activities is due primarily to the loan proceeds borrowed in 2018 to fund our acquisitions, partially offset by $100.0 million of prepayments made on our outstanding debt in 2019, $36.8 million of cash used to pay employee withholding taxes on restricted stock that vested during the first quarter of 2019 that we have recorded as treasury stock, and one additional quarterly dividend payment made in 2019 compared with 2018.
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.
Cash paid for capital expenditures increased $17.6 million, from $70.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , to $88.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 .
Debt
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 A-2, the Senior Secured Term Loan B-3, Senior Secured Term Loan B-4, and the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit.
Hedge
On December 17, 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties that effectively fixed our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our existing senior secured term loans or similar replacement debt between a range of 2.647% to

40

2.706% . We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,440.0 million , decreasing each quarter until the second agreement terminates on December 30, 2022.
On December 18, 2015, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with various counterparties that effectively cap our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our existing senior secured term loans or similar replacement debt at 0.75% beginning June 30, 2016. We have designated these cap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,436.0 million and will decrease each quarter until the agreement terminates on June 30, 2020. In July 2016, we began to pay the various counterparties a fixed rate on the outstanding notional amounts of between 0.98% and 0.994% and receive payments to the extent LIBOR exceeds 0.75% .
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 test date. TransUnion may make dividend payments up to an unlimited amount under the terms of the senior secured credit facility 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 June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Our ability to meet our liquidity needs or to pay dividends on our common stock depends on our subsidiaries’ earnings, the terms of our indebtedness, and other contractual restrictions. Trans Union LLC, the borrower under the senior secured credit facility, is not permitted to declare any dividend or make any other distribution subject to certain exceptions, including compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio and a basket that depends on TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc.’s consolidated net income.
For additional information about our debt and hedge, see Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Note 9, “Debt.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Note 1, “Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies,” and Note 10, “Leases,” for information about recent accounting pronouncements and the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles require us to make certain judgments and estimates in reporting our operating results and our assets and liabilities. Although we believe that our estimates and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available at the time, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different conditions. See the “Application of Critical Accounting Estimates” section in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 1, “Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies,” to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2019, for a description of the significant accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We operate internationally and are subject to various market risks, including those caused by potentially adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to our acquisition of Callcredit during the second quarter 2018, we now have exposure to British pounds sterling in addition to other foreign currencies. We also have a significant amount of variable rate debt and funds invested in interest bearing accounts. As of June 30, 2019 , our weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate deb t is 4.33%, compared with 4.45% at December 31, 2018 . This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in LIBOR during the past three months.
There have been no other material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
ITEM 4. 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 this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below. Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K dated on July 18, 2019, we determined that TransUnion Limited, a Hong Kong entity in which we hold a 56.25 percent interest, has been the victim of criminal fraud. The incident involved employee impersonation and fraudulent requests targeting TransUnion Limited, which resulted in a series of fraudulently-induced unauthorized wire transfers in early July 2019 totaling $17.8 million. We determined that our internal controls did not operate effectively to prevent or timely detect unauthorized wire transfers by TransUnion Limited.  Specifically, although we believe our internal controls were adequate to timely detect unauthorized wire transfers so as to prevent or detect a material misstatement of our financial statements, these controls did not operate effectively to safeguard the company’s cash assets in TransUnion Limited from unauthorized wire transfers. This material weakness in our controls resulted in the inability to prevent and timely detect this misappropriation of our cash assets in TransUnion Limited.
Immediately following this incident, we initiated a reassessment of our controls related to the wire transfer process and have begun formulating an action plan for the remediation of this matter, which will include the following control enhancements identified to date:
•
enhancing email controls;
•
enhancing approval requirements for wire transfers;
•
enhancing controls within online banking platforms;
•
increasing the centralization and review processes associated with cash management; and
•
increasing internal communication to heighten awareness and emphasize the importance of exercising professional skepticism and judgment.
We will continue to assess whether additional control enhancements are necessary and expect to complete our remediation efforts during the remainder of 2019.

43

 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the quarter covered by this report, other than the actions described above, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
General
Refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , for a full description of our material pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors affecting the Company as set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of this Form 10-Q. The discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, sets forth the material risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing TransUnion. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
We may be unable to adequately anticipate, prevent or mitigate damage resulting from increasingly sophisticated methods of illegal or fraudulent activities committed against us, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could significantly harm our reputation.
The defensive measures that we take to manage threats, especially cyber-related threats, to our business may not adequately anticipate, prevent or mitigate harm we may suffer from such threats. Criminals use evolving and increasingly sophisticated methods of perpetrating illegal and fraudulent activities. For example, we determined in July 2019 that TransUnion Limited, a Hong-Kong entity in which the Company holds a 56.25 percent interest, was the victim of criminal fraud involving employee impersonation and fraudulent requests that successfully targeted TransUnion Limited, which resulted in a series of fraudulently-induced wire transfers totaling $17.8 million for which we expect to record a one-time pre-tax charge of up to $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. See Part I, Item 1, Note 16, “Subsequent Event,” for additional information about this incident. Fraudulent activities committed against us could disrupt our operations, have an adverse effect on our financial results, subject us to substantial legal proceedings and potential liability, result in a material loss of business and/or significantly harm our reputation.
Failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on our stock price.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. See Part I, Item 1, Note 16, “Subsequent Event.” We cannot assure you that we will maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement new or improved controls could result in additional 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.
