Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $854 million at December 31, 2025 and $679 million at December 31, 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $988 million compared with $832 million in 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved operating performance, lower interest expense and a penalty paid for the early termination of a facility lease in 2024, partially offset by higher income tax payments and higher bonus payouts in 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $332 million for 2025 compared with $307 million in 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to our acquisition of Monevo, an increase in capital expenditures and current year investments in a convertible note receivable, partially offset by proceeds from a note receivable associated with a prior year divestiture. Capital expenditures as a percent of revenue represented 7% for 2025 and 8% for 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in financing activities was $495 million compared with $309 million in 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to share repurchases in 2025, partially offset by higher debt prepayments in 2024.

TransUnion’s Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025. The dividend will be payable on March 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 26, 2026.

On February 11, 2026, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion. All other key terms of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

First Quarter and Full Year 2026 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. 1. Additional revenue growth assumptions:
   2. The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be approximately 1 point of benefit for Q1 2026 and immaterial for FY 2026.
   3. The impact of our Monevo acquisition is expected to be immaterial for Q1 2026 and FY 2026.
   4. The impact of mortgage is expected to be approximately 4 points of benefit for Q1 2026 and approximately 3 points of benefit for FY 2026.
   5. 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.
   6. 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.
   7. Additional Adjusted EBITDA assumptions:
   8. The impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates is expected to be approximately 1 point of benefit for Q1 2026 and immaterial for FY 2026.
   9. 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.
