Thomson Reuters Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars)

Note 1: Business Description and Basis of Preparation

General business description

 

Thomson Reuters Corporation is an Ontario, Canada corporation with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and on the U.S. stock exchange, Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), under the ticker symbol “TRI”, and its Series II preference shares are listed on the TSX.

 

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in these consolidated financial statements to the “Company” and “Thomson Reuters” are to Thomson Reuters Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company serves professionals across legal, tax, audit, accounting, compliance, government, and media. Its products combine highly specialized software and insights to empower professionals with the data, intelligence, and solutions needed to make informed decisions, and to help institutions in their pursuit of justice, truth and transparency. Reuters, part of Thomson Reuters, is a world leading provider of trusted journalism and news.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on November 3, 2025.

Basis of preparation

The interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below. The interim financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving more judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements have been disclosed in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth, and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop, among other factors. While the Company is closely monitoring these conditions to assess potential impacts on its businesses, some of management’s estimates and judgments may be more variable and may change materially in the future due to the significant uncertainty created by these circumstances.

The accompanying interim financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s 2024 annual report.

References to “$” are to U.S. dollars, references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars, references to “£” are to British pounds sterling and references to SEK are to Swedish Kronor.

Changes in accounting policies

 

IAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21, which provide guidance on the determination of an exchange rate to translate transactions and financial statements denominated or presented in a currency that is not exchangeable into another currency. The amendments were effective for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements and associated amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 and amendments to IAS 7. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. Both IFRS 18 and amendments to IAS 7 are effective for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027.

IFRS 18 will change the presentation of the Company’s financial statements and add new disclosure requirements. Specifically, the new standard requires:

The consolidated income statement to be structured according to operating, investing and financing categories, and include additional subtotals for “Operating Profit” and “Profit Before Financing and Income Taxes”;
Management-defined performance measurements (“MPM's”), which represent certain of the Company’s non-IFRS measures, to be identified, defined, and have an explanation why each one is useful. Each MPM must be reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS subtotal. All disclosures related to MPM’s must be disclosed in a single footnote within the consolidated financial statements; and
The application of enhanced guidance related to the grouping of financial information associated with amounts presented within the financial statements, otherwise known as aggregation or disaggregation.

The amendments to IAS 7 were issued to align the presentation of the statement of cash flows, as prepared under the indirect method, to the changes prescribed to the income statement under IFRS 18.

Both IFRS 18 and the amendments to IAS 7 are disclosure related and do not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The Company is assessing the impact of these pronouncements on its disclosures.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments introduce:

An election permitting derecognition of financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the actual settlement date, if certain conditions are met; and
Expanded disclosures for (a) investments in equity instruments and (b) financial liabilities that have features unrelated to basic lending risks, such as achieving sustainability targets, that could affect the cash flows of those liabilities.

The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2026. The Company expects that these amendments will not have a material impact on its financial statements or its disclosures.

Other pronouncements issued by the IASB and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) are not applicable or consequential to the Company.

Includes acquired deferred revenue of nil (2024 - $2 million) and $20 million (2024 - $8 million) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Reuters News revenues included $6 million (2024 - $6 million) and $17 million (2024 - $18 million) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily from content-related services that it provided to the Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax & Accounting Professionals segments.

In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the Company discloses certain information about its reportable segments based upon measures used by management in assessing the performance of those reportable segments. The profitability measure is defined below and may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

Segment adjusted EBITDA represents earnings or loss from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or income, depreciation, amortization of computer software and other identifiable intangible assets, the Company’s share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains or losses, certain asset impairment charges, corporate related items and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue.
The Company does not consider these excluded items to be controllable operating activities for purposes of assessing the current performance of the reportable segments.

Each segment includes an allocation of costs, based on usage or other applicable measures, for centralized support services such as technology-related services, commercial operations, marketing costs, and product and content development. Additionally, product costs are allocated when one segment sells products managed by another segment. Corporate costs, which includes expenses for centrally managed functions such as finance, legal and human resources, are not allocated to the segments.

Note 4: Seasonality

The Company’s revenues and operating profit on a consolidated basis do not tend to be significantly impacted by seasonality as it records a large portion of its revenues ratably over the contract term and its costs are generally incurred evenly throughout the year. However, at the segment level, revenues on a consecutive quarter basis can be impacted by seasonality, most notably in the Company’s Tax & Accounting Professionals business, where revenues tend to be concentrated in the first and fourth quarters.

Note 8: Equity Method Investments

 

Equity method investments in the consolidated statement of financial position were $203 million and $269 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s share of post-tax (losses) earnings in equity method investments in the consolidated income statement were $(13) million (2024 - $(8) million) and $(23) million (2024 - $45 million) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

 

In September 2025, the Company sold its remaining equity interest in Elite for proceeds of $231 million which was presented as an investing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flow.

 

In May 2024, the Company sold all of its remaining LSEG shares that it indirectly owned through its direct investment in York Parent Limited and its subsidiaries (“YPL”) which, from the date the remaining shares were sold, was no longer a material associate of the Company. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 16.0 million shares of LSEG and received $1,854 million of proceeds, which included $24 million received from the settlement of foreign exchange contracts (see note 11). All the proceeds, including amounts related to the settlement of the foreign exchange contracts, were presented as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flow.

 

The Company’s share of post-tax earnings (losses) in its YPL investment in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was comprised of the following items:

Note 9: Taxation

 

Tax expense was $121 million and $265 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Tax expense was $77 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The Company recorded a $258 million net tax benefit in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 due to a $468 million benefit from the recognition of a deferred tax asset relating to tax legislation enacted in Canada. The legislation reduced the Company’s ability to deduct interest expense against its Canadian taxable income, thereby increasing Canadian taxable profits such that the Company expects to utilize tax loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, which it had not previously recognized as a deferred tax asset.

Additionally, in January 2024, the Company began recording tax expense associated with the “Pillar Two model rules” as published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and enacted by key jurisdictions in which the Company operates. These rules are designed to ensure large multinational enterprises within the scope of the rules pay a minimum level of tax in each jurisdiction where they operate. In general, the “Pillar Two model rules” apply a system of top-up taxes to bring the enterprise’s effective tax rate in each jurisdiction to a minimum of 15%. The Company recorded $2 million (2024 - $2 million) and $5 million (2024 - $9 million) in top-up tax expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which was attributable to its earnings in Switzerland.

Tax expense or benefit in each period reflected the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were recognized. Tax expense or benefit in interim periods is not necessarily indicative of the tax benefit or expense for the full year because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted tax reform legislation as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA leaves the U.S. corporate tax rate unchanged at 21%. In addition, the OBBBA extends or revises key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in 2017, which were set to expire or change at the end of 2025.

Based on the Company's preliminary interpretation of the OBBBA, the tax reforms introduced are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. However, given the complexity of tax laws, related regulations, and evolving interpretations, the Company's estimates may require revision as additional information becomes available regarding the application of the OBBBA provisions.

Note 10: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share was calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders less dividends declared on preference shares by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and vested deferred share units (“DSUs”) outstanding during the period. DSUs represent common shares that certain employees have elected to receive in the future upon vesting of share-based compensation awards or in lieu of cash compensation.

Diluted earnings per share was calculated using the denominator of the basic calculation described above adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and time-based restricted share units (“TRSUs”).

Earnings used in determining consolidated earnings per share and earnings per share from continuing operations are as follows:

Of total cash and cash equivalents, $139 million and $115 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were held in subsidiaries which have regulatory restrictions, contractual restrictions or operate in countries where exchange controls and other legal restrictions apply and were therefore not available for general use by the Company.

Commercial paper program

The Company’s $2.0 billion commercial paper program provides cost-effective and flexible short-term funding. The carrying amount of outstanding commercial paper of $339 million is included in “Current indebtedness” within the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - nil).

Credit facility

The Company has a $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in November 2027 and may be used to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions or support for its commercial paper program). There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Based on the Company’s current credit ratings, the cost of borrowing under the facility is priced at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)/Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURiBOR”)/Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus 91 basis points. The Company has the option to request an increase, subject to approval by applicable lenders, in the lenders’ commitments in an aggregate amount of $600 million for a maximum credit facility commitment of $2.6 billion.

The Company guarantees borrowings by its subsidiaries under the credit facility. The Company must also maintain a ratio of net debt as defined in the credit agreement (total debt after swaps less cash and cash equivalents) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other modifications described in the credit agreement) for the last four quarters ended of not more than 4.5:1. If the Company were to complete an acquisition with a purchase price of over $500 million, the Company may elect, subject to notification, to temporarily increase the ratio of net debt to EBITDA to 5.0:1 at the end of the quarter within which the transaction closed and for each of the three immediately following fiscal quarters. At the end of that period, the ratio would revert to 4.5:1. As of September 30, 2025, the Company complied with this covenant as its ratio of net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the terms of its syndicated credit facility, was 0.5:1.

Foreign exchange contracts

The Company previously entered into foreign exchange contracts that were intended to reduce foreign currency risk related to a portion of its former indirect investment in LSEG, which was denominated in British pounds sterling. These instruments were not related to changes in the LSEG share price. In the nine-month period, the Company settled its remaining foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) for net proceeds of $24 million in conjunction with the sale of its remaining 16.0 million LSEG shares. There were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, losses of $2 million were reported within “Other finance income (costs)” in the consolidated income statement, with respect to these foreign exchange contracts due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar – British pounds sterling exchange rate.

Fair Value

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt and related derivative instruments is set forth below.

Debt and Related Derivative Instruments

Carrying Amounts

Amounts recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position are referred to as “carrying amounts”. The carrying amounts of primary debt are reflected in “Current indebtedness” or “Long-term indebtedness” and the carrying amounts of derivative instruments are included in “Other financial assets” and “Other financial liabilities”, current or non-current, within the consolidated statement of financial position, as appropriate.

Fair Value

The fair value of debt is estimated based on either quoted market prices for similar issues or current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same maturity. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based upon discounted cash flows using applicable current market rates and considering non-performance risk.

 

Debt Exchange

 

In March 2025, the Company completed the debt exchange offers it announced in February 2025. The purpose of the exchange was to optimize the Company’s capital structure and align indebtedness to revenue generation. Holders of U.S. dollar denominated notes originally issued by Thomson Reuters Corporation (“TRC”), the “Old Notes”, were offered the option to receive notes issued by TR Finance LLC (“TR Finance”), an indirect 100% owned U.S. subsidiary of TRC, the “New Notes”. The results of the exchange are as follows:

The New Notes issued by TR Finance have the same interest rate, interest payment dates and maturity date as the applicable series of Old Notes. The New Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by TRC as well as West Publishing Corporation, Thomson Reuters Applications Inc. and Thomson Reuters (Tax & Accounting) Inc., each of which is an indirect 100% owned U.S. subsidiary of TRC. The three U.S. subsidiary guarantors also guarantee the remaining Old Notes by TRC on the same basis that TRC and the three U.S. subsidiary guarantors guarantee the TR Finance notes.

 

The exchange was not a debt extinguishment. Accordingly, the transaction did not result in a derecognition of the existing indebtedness. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid $4 million in solicitation fees to noteholders who participated in the exchange offers. This amount was included in “Other finance income (costs)” within the consolidated income statement. In addition, $8 million of transaction costs were reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of “Long-term indebtedness” within the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash payments for costs and fees of the exchange are reported in “Other financing activities” within the consolidated statement of cash flow.

Debt Repayment

In May 2025, the Company repaid its C$1.4 billion (U.S. $1.0 billion) 2.239% notes upon maturity with cash on hand and settled the related cash flow hedge derivative instruments. In September 2024, the Company repaid the remaining $242 million balance of its $450 million 3.85% notes upon maturity with cash on hand.

Fair value hedges

In September 2025, the Company entered fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps totaling $410 million in notional amount. Under these arrangements, the Company receives a fixed rate of interest and pays a variable rate based on SOFR plus a spread. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges for a portion of each of the Company's $119 million principal amount of 4.50% notes due May 2043 ($80 million hedged) and $350 million principal amount of 5.65% notes due November 2043 ($330 million hedged), covering the remaining term to debt maturity. The swaps were entered as part of the Company's strategy to manage interest rate risk. A change of 100-basis points in SOFR, either an increase or decrease, would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $4 million. The Company seeks to achieve a 1:1 hedge ratio between the notional principal amount of the swaps and the underlying debt exposures.

In addition, the Company has credit support agreements with its counterparties under which one party may call on the other party to post cash collateral when the market value of the swaps exceeds specific thresholds, thus limiting credit exposure for the party in a fair value gain position. There was no cash collateral posted or received as of September 30, 2025.

The swaps are reported at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position with changes in their fair value recorded through the consolidated income statement. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $2 million of hedge ineffectiveness at inception attributable to credit charges inherent in the swaps. This amount is reported within “Other finance income (costs)” in the consolidated income statement. The fair value of the swaps was a liability of $8 million, reported within "other financial liabilities, non-current", in the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2025.

Fair value estimation

The following fair value measurement hierarchy is used for financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The levels used to determine fair value measurements for those instruments carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are as follows:

Receivables under an indemnification arrangement and contingent receivable (see below).
(2)
Investments in entities over which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence.
(3)
As of September 30, 2025, comprised of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps on indebtedness maturing in 2043. As of December 31, 2024, comprised of fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps on indebtedness that matured in May 2025.
(4)
Obligations to pay additional consideration for prior acquisitions, based upon performance measures contractually agreed at the time of purchase, and to purchase shares from minority owners of a subsidiary.

 

As of September 30, 2025, other receivables in level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy include $290 million (2024 - $272 million) due from an indemnification arrangement and $83 million (2024 - $88 million) in contingent receivables from the sale of our FindLaw business in December 2024, the fair value of which is subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones through June 2026. The increase in the receivables between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is primarily due to fair value gains associated with the indemnification arrangement due to net foreign exchange gains and changes in interest rates associated with the indemnifying party’s credit profile, which are included in “(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax”, within the consolidated income statement.

The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the fair value measurement hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Valuation Techniques

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

The fair value of investments predominantly reflect pricing from equity funding rounds;
The fair value of receivables due under indemnification arrangement considers estimated future cash flows, current market interest rates and non-performance risk;
The fair value of contingent receivables from the sale of FindLaw are based on a discounted cash flow analysis;
The fair value of contingent consideration liability is calculated based on estimates of future revenue performance or the achievement of certain commercial milestones; and
Both the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2025 and fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2024 were measured using discounted cash flows with discount rates derived from observable yield curves.

Note 15: Capital

Share repurchases – Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”)

 

The Company buys back shares (and subsequently cancels them) from time to time as part of its capital strategy. Share repurchases are typically executed under a NCIB program, which is approved by the TSX. The current NCIB program allows the Company to repurchase up to 10 million common shares between August 19, 2025 and August 18, 2026. In August 2025, the Company announced its intention to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common shares. The Company completed this program in late October 2025, pursuant to which it repurchased a total of 6.0 million common shares.

 

The Company may repurchase common shares in open market transactions on the TSX, Nasdaq and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or Nasdaq or under applicable law, including private agreement purchases or share purchase program agreement purchases, if the Company receives, if applicable, an issuer bid exemption order in the future from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for such purchases. The price that the Company will pay for common shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX.

Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price, and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. The Company may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws. From time to time when the Company does not possess material nonpublic information about itself or its securities, it may enter into a pre-defined plan with its broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered into with the Company’s broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company entered into such a plan with its broker on September 4, 2025. As a result, the Company recorded a $292 million liability in “Other financial liabilities” within current liabilities as of September 30, 2025, with a corresponding amount recorded in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

In addition to the above amounts, there were $38 million of liabilities related to unsettled share repurchases as well as $17 million of excise taxes payable as of September 30, 2025. Both these amounts are included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

 

Dividends

Dividends on common shares are declared in U.S. dollars. In the consolidated statement of cash flow, dividends paid on common shares are shown net of amounts reinvested in the Company under its dividend reinvestment plan.

Note 17: Acquisitions

Acquisitions include the purchase of a controlling or a non-controlling interest in a business. Acquisitions also include asset acquisitions for the purchase of other identifiable intangible assets. Acquisitions where control is acquired are integrated into existing operations of the Company to broaden its offerings to customers as well as its presence in global markets. The results of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

In 2024, the Company acquired Pagero in stages, resulting in the presentation of the consideration in the investing and financing sections of the consolidated statement of cash flow. See “Pagero” section below for additional details.

The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and reflects synergies and the value of the acquired workforce. Relative to the acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Purchase price allocation

Purchase price allocations related to certain acquisitions may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuations. Purchase price allocations related to the Company's Pagero acquisition were completed as of December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the net assets acquired as of September 30, 2024 were revised to reflect the final purchase price adjustments, including computer software, other identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, equity method investments, cash and cash equivalents and other assets.

Pagero

In January 2024, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Pagero through a public tender offer. Subsequently, the Company purchased the remaining interests from the non-controlling shareholders to increase its ownership of Pagero to 100%.

The non-controlling interest was measured at fair value, based on the tender offer price of SEK 50 per share, on the date of acquisition and recorded as part of equity. After the date of acquisition, the non-controlling interest was adjusted for its proportionate share of changes in equity. After the Company gained control of Pagero, purchases of the remaining shares from the non-controlling interests reduced equity and were presented in financing activities within the consolidated statement of cash flow.

Other

The revenues and operating profit of acquired businesses were not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Note 18: Contingencies

Lawsuits and legal claims

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings, claims, audits and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, employment matters, commercial matters, privacy and data protection matters, defamation matters and intellectual property infringement matters. The outcome of all the matters against the Company is subject to future resolution, including uncertainties of litigation. Litigation outcomes are difficult to predict with certainty due to various factors, including but not limited to: the preliminary nature of some claims; uncertain damage theories and demands; an incomplete factual record; uncertainty concerning legal theories and procedures and their resolution by the courts, at both trial and appellate levels; and the unpredictable nature of opposing parties. Based on information currently known to the Company and after consultation with outside legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition taken as a whole.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by many different taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business. There are many transactions and calculations during the course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, as taxing authorities may challenge some of the Company’s positions and propose adjustments or changes to its tax filings.

As a result, the Company maintains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. These provisions are made using the Company’s best estimates of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. When appropriate, the Company performs an expected value calculation to determine its provisions. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax audits, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from such audits or related litigation could vary significantly from the Company’s provisions. However, based on currently enacted legislation, information currently known by the Company and after consultation with outside tax advisors, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition taken as a whole.

Prior to December 31, 2023, the Company paid $430 million of tax as required under notices of assessment issued by the U.K. tax authority, HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), under the Diverted Profits Tax (“DPT”) regime that collectively related to the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 taxation years of certain of its current and former U.K. affiliates. The Company does not believe these current and former U.K. affiliates fall within the scope of the DPT regime. Because the Company believes its position is supported by the weight of law, it intends to vigorously defend its position and will continue contesting these assessments through all available administrative and judicial remedies. As the assessments largely relate to businesses that the Company has sold, the majority are subject to indemnity arrangements under which the Company has been required to pay additional taxes to HMRC or the indemnity counterparty.

The Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition taken as a whole. Payments made by the Company are not a reflection of its view on the merits of the case. As the Company expects to receive refunds of substantially all of the amounts paid pursuant to these notices of assessment, it has recorded substantially all of these payments as non-current receivables from HMRC or the indemnity counterparty, in its financial statements.

Guarantees

The Company has an investment in 3 Times Square Associates LLC (“3XSQ Associates”), an entity jointly owned by a subsidiary of the Company and Rudin Times Square Associates LLC (“Rudin”), that owns and operates the 3 Times Square office building (“the building”) in New York, New York. In May 2025, 3XSQ Associates extended the maturity of its 3-year term loan facility from June 2025 for an additional 2 years to June 2027 and reduced the facility to $385 million from $415 million. The facility was obtained in 2022 to refinance existing debt, fund the building’s redevelopment, and cover interest and operating costs during the redevelopment period. The building is pledged as loan collateral. Thomson Reuters and Rudin each guarantee 50% of (i) certain principal loan amounts and (ii) interest and operating costs. Thomson Reuters and Rudin also jointly and severally guarantee (i) completion of commenced works and (ii) lender losses arising from disallowed acts, environmental or otherwise. To minimize economic exposure to 50% for the joint and several obligations, Thomson Reuters and a parent entity of Rudin entered into a cross-indemnification arrangement. The Company believes the value of the building is expected to be sufficient to cover obligations that could arise from the guarantees. The guarantees do not impact the Company’s ability to borrow funds under its $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility or the related covenant calculation.

Note 19: Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s principal shareholder, Woodbridge (together with its affiliates), beneficially owned approximately 70% of the Company’s common shares.

Transactions with 3XSQ Associates

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company contributed $5 million in cash pursuant to a capital call and made an $18 million in-kind contribution representing the fair value of guarantees provided in connection with a $385 million loan facility obtained by 3XSQ Associates (see note 18).

Except for the above transactions, there were no new significant related party transactions during the first nine months of 2025. Refer to “Related Party Transactions” disclosed in note 32 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s 2024 annual report, for information regarding related party transactions.
