NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/31/12 -- Thomson Reuters (TRI) (NYSE: TRI)
- Revenues grew 3% before currency
- Adjusted EBITDA of $892 million with a margin of 28.0%
- Underlying operating profit of $617 million with a margin of 19.3%
- Adjusted earnings per share were $0.54 vs. $0.51 in the second quarter 2011
- 2012 Outlook affirmed
Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI), the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. The company reported revenues from ongoing businesses of $3.2 billion, a 3% increase before currency. Adjusted EBITDA was up slightly from the prior-year period and the corresponding margin was 28.0% versus 28.1% in the second quarter of 2011. Underlying operating profit decreased 8% and the corresponding margin was 19.3% versus 21.2% in the prior-year period.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.54 compared to $0.51 in the second quarter of 2011.
"Our results for the quarter and first half of the year were on track," said James C. Smith, chief executive officer of Thomson Reuters. "Growth in the second quarter was driven by the strong performance of our Legal, Tax & Accounting and Intellectual Property & Sciences businesses. Our Financial & Risk year-to-date revenue performance, though tepid, has held up relatively well despite growing headwinds in the global financial services industry. We have been making progress across the Financial & Risk business with a more rigorous and disciplined approach."
"I am pleased that we were able to complete the sale of our Healthcare business for $1.25 billion and redeploy some of the proceeds to support key growth businesses as evidenced by our recent announcements to acquire FXall and MarkMonitor," continued Mr. Smith.

- Revenues from ongoing businesses were $3.2 billion, a 3% increase before currency.
- Adjusted EBITDA was up slightly, and the corresponding margin was 28.0% versus 28.1% in the prior-year period as the elimination of integration expenses and higher revenues were offset by an anticipated increase in expenses in Financial & Risk related to planned investments in customer service and customer administration.
- Underlying operating profit decreased 8% and the corresponding margin was 19.3% versus 21.2% in the prior-year period as higher revenues were offset by higher depreciation and amortization from investments made in prior periods and planned increases in expenses.
- Adjusted EPS was $0.54 compared to $0.51 in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the elimination of integration expenses and a lower tax rate which were partly offset by lower underlying operating profit. Foreign exchange had a $0.01 negative impact on adjusted EPS.
Second-Quarter Business Segment Highlights
Unless otherwise noted, all revenue growth comparisons in this news release are before the impact of foreign currency as Thomson Reuters believes this provides the best basis to measure the performance of its business.
Financial & Risk
- Revenues increased 1%. Growth in Marketplaces and Governance, Risk & Compliance and from acquisitions was offset by declines in revenues from the Trading and Investors business units.
- Recurring subscription-related revenues were flat. Transactions-related revenues increased 4%. Recoveries revenues increased 1% and Outright revenues declined 3%.
- By geography, revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were flat, revenues in the Americas were up 3% while revenues in Asia declined 2%, primarily related to Japan.
- EBITDA was $460 million, down 13%, with a related margin of 25.7%. The related margin decreased 290 basis points from the prior-year period.
- Operating profit was $306 million, down 19%, with a related margin of 17.1%. The related margin decreased 340 basis points due to lower organic revenues, planned investments in customer service and customer administration and higher depreciation and amortization from product investments made in prior periods.
- Eikon desktops totaled over 19,000 at the end of the second quarter, up approximately 20% from the end of the first quarter of 2012.
Trading
- Revenues decreased 2% with growth in Commodities & Energy and Data Feeds businesses offset by desktop cancellations in Exchange Traded Instruments and Fixed Income.
- Recoveries revenues increased 2%.
Investors
- Revenues declined 1%. A 4% increase in Enterprise Content revenues was offset by a 5% decline in Investment Management revenues due to weakness in Europe and global banks.
- Corporate revenues were up 2%. Wealth Management and Banking & Advisory (formerly Investment Banking) revenues were unchanged versus the prior-year period.
Marketplaces
- Revenues increased 6% (1% organic) driven by acquisitions and Tradeweb, which was up 24% (6% organic).
- Foreign exchange-related revenues declined 1% due to lower transaction volumes compared to the prior-year period.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
- Revenues grew 56% (18% organic) to $52 million driven by acquisitions, new sales and strong demand for risk and compliance solutions.
- Thomson Reuters Eikon for Compliance Management, a version of the flagship Eikon desktop dedicated to trading floor compliance, was launched in July 2012.
Legal
- Revenues increased 3%. US Law Firm Solutions grew 2% driven by a 17% increase in Business of Law revenues (FindLaw and Elite) while research-related revenues declined 2%. Corporate, Government and Academic revenues rose 5%. Global businesses grew 5%.
- EBITDA was up slightly from the prior-year period and the associated margin decreased 60 basis points to 39.0% primarily due to a change in business mix.

- WestlawNext has been sold to approximately 69% of Westlaw's revenue base as of the end of the second quarter 2012.
Tax & Accounting
- Revenues increased 25% (5% organic) driven by acquisitions and strong growth in revenues from the ONESOURCE platform and software sales to professional accounting firms.
- EBITDA increased 22% and the corresponding margin decreased 40 basis points to 29.7% due mainly to acquisition dilution.
- Operating profit increased 19% and the corresponding margin decreased 70 basis points to 19.8%.
- Tax & Accounting is a seasonal business with a significant percentage of its operating profit traditionally generated in the fourth quarter. Small movements in the timing of revenues and expenses can impact margins in any given quarter for the Tax & Accounting business. Full-year margins are more reflective of the segment's underlying performance.
Intellectual Property & Science
- Revenues were up 4% with growth across the business.
- EBITDA increased 6% with the corresponding margin increasing 110 basis points to 34.7%.
- Operating profit increased 4% with the corresponding margin increasing 30 basis points to 27.3%.

(4) Thomson Reuters defines adjusted EBITDA as underlying operating profit excluding the related depreciation and amortization of computer software but including integration programs expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
(5) Underlying operating profit is operating profit from reportable segments and Corporate & Other (includes Media). Underlying operating profit margin is the underlying operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
(6) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations include dividends declared on preference shares and integration programs expense, but exclude the pre-tax impacts of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as well as the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, other operating (gains) and losses, certain impairment charges, the results of Other businesses (see note (3) above), other finance (income) costs, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax (earnings) losses in equity method investees, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations is calculated using diluted weighted average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders.
(7) Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective tax rate. Reported earnings or loss for interim periods reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on full year income taxes.
(8) Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, other investing activities and dividends paid on the company's preference shares. Other businesses (see note (3) above) are also removed to arrive at free cash flow from ongoing operations.
