Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Thomson Reuters reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with revenues up 9% to $1,954 million and diluted EPS up 48% to $1.02, driven by 10% organic revenue growth in its “Big 3” segments. Operating profit rose 28% to $558 million, and free cash flow increased 29% to $727 million. For the first six months, revenues grew 10% to $4,041 million and diluted EPS rose to $2.05.

The company raised its 2026 full-year outlook for total and organic revenue growth for both the total company and its “Big 3” segments, now targeting approximately 8% organic growth for the company and 9.5% to 10.0% for the Big 3. It expects third-quarter 2026 organic revenue growth of about 8% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 36%.

Thomson Reuters also outlined major capital and portfolio actions. It agreed to sell a 51% stake in its Global Print business to KKR via a joint venture, expecting approximately $500 million of gross proceeds and a pre-tax gain at closing, while retaining a 49% interest and content rights. The company returned $605 million through a special cash distribution and share consolidation, completed a $600 million share repurchase program (6.2 million shares), repaid $500 million of maturing notes, and increased its annual dividend 10% to $2.62 per share.

Positive

  • Q2 profitability surged, with diluted EPS up 48% to $1.02 and operating profit up 28%, reflecting strong operating leverage and higher other operating gains.
  • Cash generation strengthened, as Q2 free cash flow rose 29% to $727 million and net cash provided by operating activities increased by $174 million year over year.
  • Growth outlook improved, with 2026 organic revenue growth for the total company guided to approximately 8% and for the “Big 3” segments to 9.5%–10.0%, up from prior guidance.
  • Balance sheet and capital returns remained robust, including repayment of $500 million of notes, a completed $600 million share repurchase program, and a 10% dividend increase to $2.62 per share.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

Global Print sale is not yet complete: fourth-quarter 2026 closing still depends on regulatory approvals and customary conditions.

As a Form 6-K, this filing furnishes Thomson Reuters’ interim second-quarter results and related material updates.

The Global Print joint venture remains pending: the company expects a fourth-quarter 2026 closing, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, so the 51% sale and approximately $500 million of proceeds have not yet been completed or received.

The agreement includes financial support intended to give KKR a minimum return on its equity investment under certain circumstances, although it is not subject to financing conditions.

If completed, the joint venture would receive an exclusive license to distribute Global Print content in print and on ProView and pay Thomson Reuters a royalty, while Thomson Reuters retains its intellectual property rights and full editorial control.

The company plans to classify Global Print as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of 2026 and remove it as a reportable segment.

The next stated resolution point is the third-quarter results release, when Thomson Reuters plans to provide an updated full-year 2026 outlook reflecting that reporting change.

H1 2026 Revenues $4,041 million Six months ended June 30, 2026; up 10% from $3,685 million
Global Print JV Proceeds $500 million Approximate gross proceeds expected at closing of 51% sale to KKR
Share Repurchase Program $600 million Total spent to repurchase 6.2 million common shares, completed July 2026
Net Debt and Leverage $2,628 million; 0.9:1 Net debt and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio at June 30, 2026
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $745 million and the margin was 38.1%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
organic revenue growth financial
"Organic revenue growth was 10% for the “Big 3” segments combined"
Organic revenue growth is the increase in a company's sales that comes from its existing products and services, without including any gains from acquisitions or selling off parts of the business. It reflects the company’s ability to attract more customers or encourage existing customers to buy more over time. For investors, it indicates the company's underlying strength and efficiency in expanding its core operations.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow was $727 million, up 29% from $566 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
discontinued operation financial
"The Global Print business will be classified as a discontinued operation"
A discontinued operation is a part of a company that has been sold, closed, or is planned to be shut down, and will no longer be part of its ongoing business activities. For investors, it matters because it can significantly affect a company's financial results and future outlook, similar to removing a large, ongoing project from a company's operations. Recognizing discontinued operations helps investors better understand a company's current performance separate from parts that are no longer active.
reverse stock split financial
"a share consolidation, or “reverse stock split”, which reduced the number of outstanding common shares"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net debt/adjusted EBITDA was 0.9:1 based on the leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA"

Revenues increased 9% due to 9% growth in recurring revenues (82% of total revenues) and 16% growth in transactions revenues, partly offset by a 3% decline in Global Print. Total company revenue growth benefited approximately 1% from foreign currency and 1% from net acquisitions and disposals.

 

 

Organic revenues increased 8% reflecting 9% growth in recurring revenues, 11% growth in transactions revenues and a 3% decline in Global Print.

 

The company’s “Big 3” segments reported organic revenue growth of 10% and collectively comprised 83% of total revenues.

Operating profit increased 28%, primarily due to the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses as well as other operating gains in the current-year period, partly offset by higher amortization of software.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes other operating gains, amortization of software, as well as other adjustments, increased 10% and the related margin increased to 38.1% from 37.8% in the prior-year period. Foreign currency contributed 10 basis points to the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin.

Diluted EPS increased to $1.02 per share compared to $0.69 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher operating profit and, to a lesser extent, a benefit from a reduction in weighted-average common shares outstanding.

 

 

Adjusted EPS increased to $0.99 per share compared to $0.87 per share in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA and a benefit from a reduction in weighted-average common shares outstanding, partly offset by higher amortization of internally developed software.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $174 million primarily due to higher cash benefits from the net impact of higher revenues and operating expenses and certain favorable changes in working capital.

 

 

Free cash flow increased by $161 million primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities, partly offset by higher capital expenditures.

Transactions revenues increased 27% (14% of total, 24% organic). Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Confirmation, Pagero, Trust, Checkpoint, Indirect Tax and the segment’s international businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% to $200 million.

 

 

The margin increased to 37.2% from 35.7% driven by operating leverage. Foreign currency benefited the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 20 basis points.

Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals

Revenues increased 12% at constant currency, including the acquisition impact of SafeSend in the prior-year period, which is reflected in transactions revenues. Organic revenue growth was 8%.

The Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segment is the company’s most seasonal business with approximately 60% of full-year revenues typically generated in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, the margin performance of this segment has been generally higher in the first and fourth quarters as costs are typically incurred in a more linear fashion throughout the year.

2026 Outlook

The company raised its 2026 full-year outlook for total and organic revenue growth for the total company and its “Big 3” segments to reflect the performance of its businesses during the first six months of the year. All other metrics are unchanged from the previous 2026 full-year outlook communicated on May 5, 2026. 

The company’s outlook for 2026 in the table below assumes constant currency rates and incorporates the February 2026 Noetica acquisition, but excludes the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the remainder of the year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.

The company signed a definitive agreement to enter into a joint venture with KKR. As part of the transaction, Thomson Reuters will sell a 51% stake in its Global Print business to capital accounts advised by KKR. Thomson Reuters will receive approximately $500 million in gross proceeds at closing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to specified regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The company’s full-year 2026 outlook includes the forecasted results of the Global Print segment, consistent with its prior 2026 full-year outlooks. The company will report its Global Print business as a discontinued operation when it releases its third quarter results and plans to provide an updated full-year 2026 outlook at that time.

The company’s 2026 outlook is forward-looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties (see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Risks and Material Assumptions”). In particular, 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. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment, among other factors, could impact the company’s ability to achieve its outlook.

The information in this section is forward-looking. Actual results, which will include the impact of currency, and future acquisitions and dispositions completed during 2026 may differ materially from the company’s 2026 outlook.

Global Print Transaction

On July 14, 2026, Thomson Reuters announced that it signed a definitive agreement to enter into a joint venture with KKR, a leading global investment firm. As part of the transaction, Thomson Reuters will sell a 51% stake in its Global Print business to capital accounts advised by KKR and retain a 49% equity interest in the joint venture. Thomson Reuters will receive approximately $500 million in gross proceeds at closing and expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to specified regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. We expect to record a pre-tax gain on the transaction at the time of closing.

Thomson Reuters will also maintain intellectual property rights and full editorial control over its content portfolio. This new joint venture will hold an exclusive license to distribute the content in print and on ProView, Global Print’s eBook platform, under which it will pay Thomson Reuters a royalty in return.

The transaction is not subject to any financing conditions. As part of the transaction, Thomson Reuters has agreed to provide certain financial support designed to give KKR a minimum return on its equity investment in the joint venture under certain circumstances.

The Global Print business will be classified as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of 2026 and will no longer be a reportable segment.

Return of Capital and Share Consolidation

On May 4, 2026, the company returned $605 million to its shareholders and reduced its common shares outstanding by approximately 6.5 million, in accordance with its previously announced return of capital and share consolidation transactions. The transactions consisted of a special cash distribution of $1.435518 per participating common share and a share consolidation, or “reverse stock split”, which reduced the number of outstanding common shares at a ratio of 1 pre-consolidated share for 0.984560 post-consolidated shares, which was proportional to the special cash distribution.

$600 Million Share Repurchase Program and Common Shares Outstanding

In February 2026, the company announced its plan to repurchase up to $600 million of additional common shares under an amended Normal Course Issuer Bid that was approved by the TSX. In July 2026, the company completed the program, repurchasing a total of 6.2 million common shares for $600 million, consisting of 3.6 million shares for $362 million through June 30, 2026 and 2.6 million shares for $238 million in July 2026.

As of August 3, 2026, Thomson Reuters had approximately 433.2 million common shares outstanding.

Debt Repayment

In May 2026, the company repaid its $500 million 3.35% notes upon maturity with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.

Dividends

In February 2026, the company announced a 10% or $0.24 per share annualized increase in the dividend to $2.62 per common share, representing the 33rd consecutive year of dividend increases and the fifth consecutive 10% increase. A quarterly dividend of $0.655 per share is payable on September 10, 2026 to common shareholders of record as of August 19, 2026.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Thomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA (other than at the customer segment level) and the related margin, free cash flow, adjusted earnings and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues, net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, selected measures excluding the impact of foreign currency, changes in revenues computed on an organic basis as well as all financial measures for the “Big 3” segments.

Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes and the company’s business outlook. Additionally, Thomson Reuters uses non-IFRS measures as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables.

The company’s outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. The company believes that providing reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in its outlook would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for purposes of its outlook only, the company is unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because it cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of its results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, and (ii) other finance income or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, the company cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses that generally arise from business transactions that the company does not currently anticipate.

ROUNDING

Other than EPS, the company reports its results in millions of U.S. dollars, but computes percentage changes and margins using whole dollars to be more precise. As a result, percentages and margins calculated from reported amounts may differ from those presented, and growth components may not total due to rounding.

REVISION TO PRIOR-YEAR SEGMENT RESULTS

In the first quarter of 2026, the company changed its segment reporting to reflect how it currently manages its segments. The change reflects the transfer of certain customers and their related revenues and expenses among the company’s Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. These changes impact the financial results of the company’s segments, but do not change its consolidated financial results. The following summarizes the changes to the applicable segment’s reported amounts.

Three months ended June 30, 2025

 

 

Legal Professionals revenues decreased $5 million to $704 million, adjusted EBITDA was unchanged at $339 million and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 30 basis points to 48.1%;

 

Corporates revenues increased $8 million to $480 million, adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million to $172 million and adjusted EBITDA margin was unchanged at 35.7%; and

 

Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals revenues decreased $3 million to $274 million, adjusted EBITDA decreased $3 million to $110 million and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 40 basis points to 38.9%.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, MATERIAL RISKS AND MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS

Certain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to, statements in Mr. Hasker’s comments, the “2026 Outlook” section, and statements regarding the company’s expectations with respect to the Global Print transaction including its current expectation that the transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2026 are forward looking. The words “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “target”, “estimate”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “predict”, “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While the company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this news release, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes and there is no assurance that any of the other events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond the company’s control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict.

Some of the material risk factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, those discussed on pages 19-32 in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s 2025 annual report. These and other risk factors are discussed in materials that Thomson Reuters from time-to-time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Thomson Reuters’ annual and quarterly reports are also available in the “Investor Relations” section of thomsonreuters.com.

The company’s 2026 business outlook is based on information currently available to the company and is based on various external and internal assumptions made by the company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the company believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Material assumptions and material risks may cause actual performance to differ from the company’s expectations underlying its 2026 business outlook. In particular, the global economy has experienced substantial disruption due to concerns regarding economic effects associated with the macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical risks. The company’s 2026 business outlook assumes that uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility, however, these conditions may last substantially longer than expected and any worsening of the global economic or business environment could impact the company’s ability to achieve its outlook and affect its results and other expectations. For a discussion of material assumptions and material risks related to the company’s 2026 outlook see pages 16-17 of the company’s first-quarter management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the period ended March 31, 2026. The company’s quarterly MD&A and annual report were filed with, or furnished to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. SEC and are also available in the “Investor Relations” section of thomsonreuters.com.

The company has provided an outlook for the purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the period presented. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations only as of the date of this news release.

Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures    Definition    Why Useful to the Company and Investors
     

Adjusted EBITDA and the related margin

   Represents earnings or losses from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or income, depreciation, amortization of software and other identifiable intangible assets, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue. The related margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.    Provides a consistent basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends by excluding items that the company does not consider to be controllable activities for this purpose. Also, represents a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as a valuation metric, as well as to assess the company’s ability to incur and service debt.
     

Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS

  

Net earnings or loss including dividends declared on preference shares but excluding the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets (attributable to other identifiable intangible assets and acquired software), other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Acquired intangible assets contribute to the generation of revenues from acquired companies, which are included in the company’s computation of adjusted earnings.

 

The post-tax amount of each item is excluded from adjusted earnings based on the specific tax rules and tax rates associated with the nature and jurisdiction of each item.

 

Adjusted EPS is calculated from adjusted earnings using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders.

  

Provides a more comparable basis to analyze earnings.

 

These measures are commonly used by shareholders to measure performance.

     

Effective tax rate on adjusted earnings

  

Adjusted tax expense divided by pre-tax adjusted earnings. Adjusted tax expense is computed as income tax expense or benefit plus or minus the income tax impacts of all items impacting adjusted earnings (as described above), and other tax items impacting comparability.

 

In interim periods, the company also makes an adjustment to reflect income taxes based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The non-IFRS adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods but has no effect on full-year income taxes.

  

Provides a basis to analyze the effective tax rate associated with adjusted earnings.

 

The company’s effective tax rate computed in accordance with IFRS may be more volatile by quarter because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year. Therefore, the company believes that using the expected full-year effective tax rate provides more comparability among interim periods.

     

Free cash flow

   Net cash provided by operating activities and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, payments of lease principal and dividends paid on the company’s preference shares.    Helps assess the company’s ability, over the long term, to create value for its shareholders as it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common dividends, fund share repurchases and acquisitions.
     

Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at constant currency

   The changes in revenues, adjusted EBITDA and the related margin, and adjusted EPS before currency (at constant currency or excluding the effects of currency) are determined by converting the current and equivalent prior period’s local currency results using the same foreign currency exchange rate.    Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period.
     

Changes in revenues computed on an organic basis

   Represent changes in revenues of the company’s existing businesses at constant currency. The metric excludes the distortive impacts of acquisitions and dispositions from not owning the business in both comparable periods.    Provides further insight into the performance of the company’s existing businesses by excluding distortive impacts and serves as a better measure of the company’s ability to grow its business over the long term.
     

Accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues

   Accrued capital expenditures divided by revenues, where accrued capital expenditures include amounts that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.    Reflects the basis on which the company manages capital expenditures for internal planning purposes.
     

“Big 3” segments

   The company’s combined Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. All measures reported for the “Big 3” segments are non-IFRS financial measures.    The “Big 3” segments comprised approximately 80% of revenues and represent the core of the company’s business information service product offerings.
     

Net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA

  

Net debt is total debt, plus related hedging instruments and collateral balances, along with lease liabilities, excluding unamortized transaction costs and any premiums or discounts on debt, minus cash and cash equivalents. We exclude specific hedging components to reflect the net cash outflow upon debt maturity.

 

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period ending with the current fiscal quarter.

  

Provides a commonly used measure of a company’s leverage and its ability to pay its debt. Given that the company hedges some of its debt to manage risk, the company includes hedging instruments as it believes it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with its outstanding debt. Since the company plans to hold its debt and related hedges until maturity, the net debt calculation is adjusted to reflect the net cash outflow at maturity, after deducting cash and cash equivalents.

 

The company’s non-IFRS measure is aligned with the calculation of its internal target leverage ratio and is more conservative than the maximum ratio allowed under the contractual covenants in its credit facility.

Please refer to reconciliations for the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.
