TransUnion has an operating margin of 15.9%, meaning the company retains $16 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 80/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 3.4% the prior year.
TransUnion's revenue grew 9.2% year-over-year to $4.2B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 55/100.
TransUnion carries a low D/E ratio of 1.20, meaning only $1.20 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 67/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
TransUnion's current ratio of 1.70 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 48/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
TransUnion has a free cash flow margin of 12.3%, earning a moderate score of 62/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.
TransUnion generates a 6.7% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 27/100.
TransUnion scores 2.24, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($14.2B) relative to total liabilities ($6.7B). This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.
TransUnion passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, TransUnion generates $2.93 in operating cash flow ($832.5M OCF vs $284.4M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
TransUnion earns $2.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($666.7M vs $265.2M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
