Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic constant-currency revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS and free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP measures which should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Free cash flow conversion is calculated by dividing free cash flow by Adjusted Net Income.
For further information on our non-GAAP measures refer to Exhibit 99.1 of our Form 8-K, "Press release of TransUnion dated February 12, 2026, announcing results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025," under the heading 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures,' furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2026.
For non-GAAP measures presented on a forward-looking basis, TransUnion has not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would be difficult to predict with reasonable certainty the nature and amount of non-GAAP adjustments without unreasonable effort. This information could be material to TransUnion’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
