Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 8, 2024, TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Trans Union LLC (the “Borrower”), certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of TransUnion (the “Company”), Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as the administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 22 (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the Amendment, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to refinance in full all of the Borrower’s outstanding 2021 Incremental Term B-6 Loans with a new tranche of Replacement Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,895,000,000 (the “2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans”). In addition, all of the obligations under the Loan Documents were reaffirmed in all respects.
The proceeds of the 2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans were used to refinance in full the Borrower’s outstanding 2021 Incremental Term B-6 Loans and to pay accrued interest, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The 2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans rank equal in right of payment and equal in right of security with the Revolving Credit Loans, the 2023 Refinancing Term A-4 Loans and the 2019 Replacement Term B-5 Loans.
Holdings and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries party to the Credit Agreement and ancillary agreements and documents (other than the Borrower) continue to provide an unconditional guaranty of all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. With certain exceptions, the obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Holdings and the other guarantors, including their investments in subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, including restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, which were unchanged by the Amendment.
The Borrower is required to make quarterly amortization payments on the 2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans in an amount equal to $4,737,500 per quarter beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The 2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans will mature on December 1, 2028.
The interest rates on the 2024 Replacement Term B-7 Loans are based, at the Borrower’s election, on (1) term SOFR, subject to a 0.50% floor, plus an applicable margin of 2.00% or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00%.

Announced next step in transformation program, which is expected to deliver $120 to $140 million of annualized operating expense savings and $70 to $80 million capital expenditure reduction in 2026 relative to 2023 levels
Prepaid $25 million in debt in the fourth quarter and $250 million in full year 2023
Providing 2024 financial guidance, we expect to deliver 3 percent to 5 percent revenue growth

CHICAGO, February 13, 2024 - TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
Revenue:
Total revenue for the quarter was $954 million, an increase of 6 percent (5 percent on an organic constant currency basis), compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.
Earnings:
Net income attributable to TransUnion was $6 million for the quarter, compared with $46 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share was $0.03, compared with $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income attributable to TransUnion margin was 1 percent, compared with 5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Our fourth quarter 2023 net income attributable to TransUnion, diluted earnings per share and net income attributable to TransUnion margin include expenses associated with our transformation plan, as described below.
Adjusted Net Income was $156 million for the quarter, compared with $152 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for the quarter was $0.80, compared with $0.78 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA was $326 million for the quarter, an increase of 1 percent (1 percent on a constant currency basis) compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 34 percent, compared with 36 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022.

“TransUnion ended the year by exceeding our fourth quarter financial guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS and re-accelerating revenue growth,” said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. “U.S. Markets grew as lending and marketing activity remained subdued but consistent with prior quarter. Our International segment again grew double-digits, led by India, Canada, Asia Pacific and Africa.”

“In the fourth quarter, we also announced and began the next step in our transformation program, aimed at optimizing our operating model and streamlining our technology onto a common product delivery platform, branded OneTru. We expect this two-year program to drive material cost savings while accelerating innovation and increasing organic growth.”

“In 2024, we expect to deliver 3 to 5 percent revenue growth with expanding Adjusted EBITDA margins, assuming slow economic growth and no in-year benefits from interest rate cuts. Our innovative solutions and diversified vertical, product and geographic portfolio continue to drive performance and we believe position us to accelerate growth as lending and marketing activity recovers.”

Transformation Plan
On November 15, 2023, we announced a multi-year transformation plan to optimize our operating model and continue to advance our technology. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we incurred total expenses associated with this transformation plan of $78 million, comprised of restructuring expenses for employee separation and non-cash impairment charges associated with leased facilities, as well as other business optimization expenses. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) later this month for further information regarding this matter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $480 million at December 31, 2023 and $585 million at December 31, 2022. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we prepaid $250 million of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-6, funded from our cash-on-hand. We also used proceeds from the October 27, 2023 refinancing of our Senior Secured Term Loan A-3 to prepay $300 million of Senior Secured Term Loan B-6. Additionally, we refinanced our existing revolving credit facility with a new tranche of revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (an increase of $300 million).
On February 8, 2024, the Company refinanced its Senior Secured Term Loan B-6. The aggregate principal amount of this debt instrument immediately following the transaction was approximately $1.9 billion. As a result of the transaction, the margin was set to 2.00% and is no longer a function of our total net leverage ratio. Additionally, the credit spread adjustment was removed. The new pricing on our debt is SOFR plus margin of 2.00%. The Senior Secured Term Loan B-6 remains subject to quarterly principal payments with the remaining balance due December 1, 2028.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $649 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $301 million in 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was due primarily to prior year taxes paid on the gain from the divestiture of our Healthcare business and lower bonus and commission payments in the current year, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $319 million for 2023 compared with $719 million in 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was due primarily to a net decrease in cash outflows for acquisitions and divestitures, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations. Capital expenditures as a percent of revenue represented 8% for 2023 and 2022. For 2023, cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $439 million compared with $821 million in 2022. Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations decreased due primarily to a decrease in debt payments and cash used to pay employee taxes on restricted stock units.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified an error in the classification of certain costs between cost of services and selling, general and administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which resulted in an



understatement of cost of services and an overstatement of selling, general and administrative in equal and offsetting amounts resulting in no impact to total operating expenses, operating income or net income. This error was incremental to the classification error of employee costs related to certain of our recent acquisitions that was identified in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, we corrected an immaterial error related to an over accrual of expenses, net of the related income tax effect, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, that had previously been corrected out of period during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. We will provide additional information regarding this matter in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
A summary of the revision to the impacted financial statement line items in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations is shown on Schedule 8, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”
As a result of the classification error described above, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.
First Quarter and Full Year 2024 Outlook
Our guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of the control of the Company, including general macroeconomic conditions, interest rates and inflation. There are numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this guidance.

1.Additional revenue growth assumptions:
a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to have an insignificant impact for Q1 2024 and FY 2024.
b.There is no impact from recent acquisitions for Q1 2024 and FY 2024.
c.The impact of mortgage is expected to be approximately 1 point of benefit for Q1 2024 and 1.5 points of benefit for FY 2024. These impacts are calculated by removing the U.S. mortgage revenue from both the current year and prior year periods.
2.Constant currency growth rates assume foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
3.Organic constant currency growth rates are constant currency growth excluding inorganic growth. Inorganic growth represents growth attributable to the first twelve months of activity for recent business acquisitions. There is no impact from recent business acquisitions in Q1 2024 and FY 2024.
4. Additional Adjusted EBITDA assumptions:
a.The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to have an insignificant impact for Q1 2024 and FY 2024.
5.For a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, refer to Schedule 7 of this Earnings Release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Leverage Ratio for all periods presented. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. These financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income (loss) attributable to the Company, diluted earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.
We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. These are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.
Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as an incentive compensation measure for most eligible employees and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as an incentive compensation measure for certain of our senior executives.
Under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to our Leverage Ratio which is partially based on Adjusted EBITDA. Investors also use our Leverage Ratio to assess our ability to service our debt and make other capital allocation decisions.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Management has excluded the following items from net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Discontinued operations, net of tax, as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. We exclude discontinued operations, net of tax because we believe it does not reflect the underlying and ongoing performance of our business operations.
Net interest expense, which is the sum of interest expense and interest income as reported on our consolidated statements of operations.
Provision for income taxes, as reported on our consolidated statements of operations.
Depreciation and amortization, as reported on our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill impairment, as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. We exclude goodwill impairment because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations during that period and such expense can vary significantly between periods.
Stock-based compensation is used as an incentive to engage and retain our employees. It is predominantly a non-cash expense. We exclude stock-based compensation because it may not correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations during the period since it is measured at the grant date fair value and it is subject to variability as a result of performance conditions and timing of grants. These expenses are reported within cost of services and selling, general and administrative on our consolidated statements of operations.
Operating model optimization program represents employee separation costs, facility lease exit costs, and other business process optimization expenses incurred in connection with the transformation plan discussed


                                                
further in “Results of Operations - Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations.” We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business. Further, these costs will vary and may not be comparable during the transformation initiative as we progress toward an optimized operating model. These costs are reported in primarily in selling, general and administrative and restructuring expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.
Accelerated technology investment includes Project Rise and the final phase of our technology investment announced in November 2023. Project Rise was announced in February 2020 and was originally expected to be completed in 2022. Following our acquisition of Neustar in December 2021, we recognized the opportunity to take advantage of Neustar’s capabilities to enhance and complement our cloud-based technology already under development as part of Project Rise. As a result, we extended Project Rise’s timeline to 2024 and increased the total estimated cost to approximately $240 million. In November 2023, we announced our plans to further leverage Neustar’s technology to standardize and streamline our product delivery platforms and to build a single global platform for fulfillment of our product lines. The additional investment is expected to be approximately $90 million during 2024 and 2025 and represents the final phase of the technology investment in our global technology infrastructure and core customer applications. We expect that the accelerated technology investment will fundamentally transform our technology infrastructure by implementing a global cloud-based approach to streamline product development, increase the efficiency of ongoing operations and maintenance, and enable a continuous improvement approach to avoid the need for another major technology overhaul in the foreseeable future. The unique effort to build a secure, reliable and performant hybrid cloud infrastructure requires us to dedicate separate resources in order to develop the new cloud-based infrastructure in parallel with our current on-premise environment by maintaining our existing technology team to ensure no disruptions to our customers. The costs associated with the accelerated technology investment are incremental and redundant costs that will not recur after the program has been completed and are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Therefore, we believe that excluding these costs from our non-GAAP measures provides a better reflection of our ongoing cost structure. These costs are primarily reported in cost of services and therefore do not include amounts that are capitalized as internally developed software.
Mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses are non-recurring expenses associated with specific transactions (exploratory or executed) and consist of (i) transaction and integration costs, (ii) post-acquisition adjustments to contingent consideration or to assets and liabilities that occurred after the acquisition measurement period, (iii) fair value and impairment adjustments related to investments and call and put options, (iv) transition services agreement income, and (v) a loss on disposal of a business. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary depending upon the timing of such transactions. These expenses are reported in costs of services, selling, general and administrative and other income and (expenses), net, on our consolidated statements of operations.
Net other adjustments principally relate to: (i) deferred loan fee expense from debt prepayments and refinancing, (ii) currency remeasurement on foreign operations, (iii) other debt financing expenses consisting primarily of revolving credit facility deferred financing fee amortization and commitment fees and expenses associated with ratings agencies and interest rate hedging, (iv) legal and regulatory expenses, net, and (v) other non-operating (income) expense. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business and create variability between periods based on the nature and timing of the expense or income. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative and in non-operating income and expense, net as applicable based on their nature on our consolidated statements of operations.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Management defines Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue as reported.

Adjusted Net Income

Management has excluded the following items from net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented:



                                                
Discontinued operations, net of tax (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Goodwill impairment (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Amortization of certain intangible assets presents non-cash amortization expenses related to assets that arose from our 2012 change in control transaction and business combinations occurring after our 2012 change in control. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary dependent upon the timing of the transactions that give rise to these assets. Amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization on our consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-based compensation (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Operating model optimization program (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Accelerated technology investment (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Mergers and acquisitions, divestiture and business optimization (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)
Net other is consistent with the definition in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above except that other debt financing expenses and certain other miscellaneous income and expense that are included in the adjustment to calculate Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in the adjustment made to calculate Adjusted Net Income.
Total adjustments for income taxes relates to the cumulative adjustments discussed below for Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes. This adjustment is made for the reasons indicated in Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes below. Adjustments related to the provision for income taxes are included in the line item by this name on our consolidated statement of operations.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Management defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes

Management has excluded the following items from our provision for income taxes for the periods presented:
Tax effect of above adjustments represents the income tax effect of the adjustments related to Adjusted Net Income described above. The tax rate applied to each adjustment is based on the nature of each line item. We include the tax effect of the adjustments made to adjusted net income to provide a comprehensive view of our adjusted net income.
Excess tax expense (benefit) for stock-based compensation is the permanent difference between expenses recognized for book purposes and expenses recognized for tax purposes, in each case related to stock-based compensation expense. We exclude this amount from the adjusted tax provision for income taxes in order to be consistent with the exclusion of stock-based compensation from the calculation of Adjusted Net Income.
Other principally relates to (i) deferred tax adjustments, including rate changes, (ii) infrequent or unusual valuation allowance adjustments, (iii) return to provision, tax authority audit adjustments, and reserves related to prior periods, and (iv) other non-recurring items. We exclude these items because they create variability that impacts comparability between periods.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

Management defines Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes divided by Adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes by excluding the pre-tax adjustments in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income discussed above and noncontrolling interest related to these pre-tax adjustments from (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes.



                                                
Leverage Ratio
Management defines Leverage Ratio as net debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve-month period including twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA from significant acquisitions. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents as reported on the balance sheet as of the end of the period.
This earnings release presents constant currency growth rates assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents organic constant currency growth rates, which assumes consistent foreign currency exchange rates between years and also eliminates the impact of our recent acquisitions. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impacts of recent acquisitions.
Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and is a measure we may refer to.
Refer to Schedules 1 through 7 for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified an error in the classification of certain costs between cost of services and selling, general and administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which resulted in an understatement of cost of services and an overstatement of selling, general and administrative in equal and offsetting amounts resulting in no impact to total operating expenses, operating income, or net income. This error was incremental to the classification error of employee costs related to certain of our recent acquisitions that was identified in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, we corrected an immaterial error related to an over accrual of expenses, net of the related income tax effect, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, that had previously been corrected out of period during the twelve months December 31, 2022. We will provide additional information regarding this matter in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, to be filed with the SEC later this month.

A summary of the revision to the impacted financial statement line items in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations included in our (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, (ii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and (iii) Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is as follows:
