Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and “its” refers to TransUnion and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the financial statements and footnote tables. The operating results of TransUnion for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. The Company’s year end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of TransUnion include the accounts of TransUnion and all of its controlled subsidiaries. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments,” are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Impact of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) On Our Financial Statements

The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 is complex and continues to evolve rapidly. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended extensive containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The outbreak has reached all of the regions in which we do business, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns, limitations or closures of non-essential businesses, school closures, social distancing requirements and various economic stimulus initiatives. While certain of these measures have been relaxed or reversed to varying degrees throughout the world, many have subsequently been reinstated and even tightened, adding an additional layer of uncertainty. The global spread of COVID-19 and actions taken in response to the virus have negatively affected workforces, customers, consumer confidence, financial markets, employment rates, consumer spending, credit markets and housing demand, caused significant economic and business disruption, volatility and financial uncertainty, and led to a significant economic downturn, including in the markets where we operate. Businesses and consumers continue to react and adapt to the uncertainty with varying degrees of success in the markets where we operate. Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures, have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time.

We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context with the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition. While our current assessment of these estimates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, including our expectations at the time regarding the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Table of Contents

Trade Accounts Receivable

We base our allowance for doubtful accounts estimate on our historical write-off experience, current conditions, an analysis of the aging of outstanding receivables and customer payment patterns, and specific reserves for customers in adverse financial condition or for existing contractual disputes. Beginning January 1, 2020, we also considered our current expectations of future economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, when estimating our allowance for doubtful accounts. We made an immaterial increase to our allowance for doubtful accounts in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of our current estimate of the impact COVID-19 will have on the collectability of our accounts receivable. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of our allowance for doubtful accounts could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

The following is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
Beginning Balance	$	19.0	$	13.5
Provision for losses on trade accounts receivable	10.3		5.6
Write-offs, net of recovered accounts	(3.4)		(2.8)
Ending balance	$	26.0	$	16.3

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We review long-lived asset groups that are subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if there is an indicator of impairment. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of impairments to long-lived assets and goodwill could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

The decrease in other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, as of June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, includes a decrease of $64.1 million due to the translation adjustment of our foreign entities long-lived assets, net of accumulated amortization, resulting from changes to foreign exchange rates between periods. The decrease in goodwill as of June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, is due to a $97.1 million translation adjustment of our foreign entities goodwill resulting from changes to foreign exchange rates between periods. The offset to these translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In addition, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and current expectations of future economic conditions based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption and at June 30, 2020, this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates including the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable and less susceptible to manipulation. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts and other contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU, among other things, provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying certain U.S. GAAP requirements to these contracts if certain criteria are met for a limited period of time in order to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

We have adopted this guidance and have applied certain optional expedients and exceptions and expect to apply other optional expedients and exceptions to our existing debt and hedge contracts that reference LIBOR, and to any other new contract that references LIBOR or another reference rate when these reference rates are discontinued and as our contracts are updated up

through the transition period that ends December 31, 2022. The adoption of these expedients and exceptions did not and is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. Among other things it eliminates the need for organizations to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: an exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation; exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and an exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This amendment also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for: franchise taxes that are partially based on income; transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. We are assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 16, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. This amendment, among other things, clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. This amendment also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. We are assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe the impact will be material.

2. Fair Value

The following table summarizes financial instruments measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2020:


(in millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Available-for-sale debt securities (Note 3)	$	2.9	$	—	$	2.9	$	—
Total	$	2.9	$	—	$	2.9	$	—

Liabilities
Interest rate swaps (Notes 7 and 8)	$	105.9	$	—	$	105.9	$	—
Total	$	105.9	$	—	$	105.9	$	—

Level 2 instruments consist of foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds and interest rate swaps. Foreign exchange-traded corporate bonds are available-for-sale securities valued at their current quoted prices. These securities mature between 2027 and 2033. The interest rate swaps fair values are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected net cash receipts or payments that would occur if variable interest rates rise above or fall below the fixed rates of the swaps. The variable interest rates used in the calculations of projected receipts on the swaps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in other comprehensive income. There were no significant realized or unrealized gains or losses on any of our securities for any of the periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2020, we paid the level 3 contingent consideration obligation that was included in other current liabilities on our balance sheet at December 31, 2019. The final contingent consideration obligation amount paid was $7.5 million.

Deferred financing fees	1.7		1.9
Other	10.0		8.7
Total other assets	$	229.2	$	236.3

5. Investments in Affiliated Companies

Investments in affiliated companies represent our investment in non-consolidated domestic and foreign entities. These entities are in businesses similar to ours, such as credit reporting, credit-scoring and credit-monitoring services.

We use the equity method to account for investments in affiliates where we are able to exercise significant influence. For these investments, we adjust the carrying value for our proportionate share of the affiliates’ earnings, losses and distributions, as well as for purchases and sales of our ownership interest.

We account for nonmarketable investments in equity securities in which we are not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments”, at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For these investments, we adjust the carrying value for any purchases or sales of our ownership interests. We record any dividends received from these investments as other income in non-operating income and expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $4.8 million impairment loss of a Cost Method investment, partially offset by a $2.5 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a $31.2 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer, partially offset by a $8.6 million impairment loss of other Cost Method investments. These gains and losses are included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Investments in affiliated companies consisted of the following:


(in millions)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Equity Method investments	$	38.6	$	49.0
Cost Method investments	87.6		84.7
Total investments in affiliated companies (Note 4)	$	126.3	$	133.7

These balances are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in Cost Method investments is due to a new Cost Method investment we made during 2020, partially offset by the net loss on Cost Method investments discussed above, both recorded in our U.S. Markets segment.

Earnings from equity method investments, which are included in other non-operating income and expense, and dividends received from equity method investments consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Earnings from equity method investments (Note 13)	$	2.1	$	3.3	$	4.6	$	7.1
Dividends received from equity method investments	$	5.7	$	8.0	$	6.4	$	8.5

6. Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities consisted of the following:


(in millions)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Deferred revenue (Note 10)	$	88.2	$	82.8
Accrued legal and regulatory	60.5		30.4
Accrued payroll	57.5		110.6
Income taxes payable	43.2		14.9
Accrued employee benefits	26.5		35.4
Operating lease liabilities	19.0		19.9

Contingent consideration (Note 2)	—		7.2
Other	28.6		31.3
Total other current liabilities	$	328.5	$	336.5

The increase in accrued legal and regulatory was due primarily to an additional accrual related to the Ramirez litigation. The decrease in accrued payroll was due primarily to the payment of accrued bonuses during the first quarter of 2020 that were earned in 2019. The increase in income taxes payable was primarily due to the deferral in federal income tax payments under the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

7. Other Liabilities

Other liabilities consisted of the following:


(in millions)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Interest rate swaps and caps (Notes 2 and 8)	$	105.9	$	46.6
Operating lease liabilities	57.4		57.2
Unrecognized tax benefits, net of indirect tax effects (Note 12)	35.9		32.8
Non-qualified and other employee benefit plan liabilities	10.3		11.6
Deferred revenue (Note 10)	8.7		15.7
Other	12.9		1.1
Total other liabilities	$	231.1	$	165.0

The increase in the interest rate swaps liability was due primarily to changes in the forward LIBOR curve during the period.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On June 15, 2010, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility with various lenders. This facility has been amended several times and currently consists of the Senior Secured Term Loan B-5 and the Senior Secured Term Loan A-3 (collectively, the “Senior Secured Term Loans”), and the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, and could have borrowed up to the remaining $299.9 million available.

TransUnion also has the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the Senior Secured Credit Facility up to the greater of $1,000.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the four quarters preceding such request date, and may incur additional incremental loans so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25-to-1, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings.

With certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior secured net leverage test must be met as a condition to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, and may be required to make certain restricted payments. The senior secured net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.5-to-1 at any such measurement date. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, TransUnion may make dividend payments up to the greater of $75 million or 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA per year, or an unlimited amount provided that no default or event of default exists and so long as the total net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75-to-1. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

On March 10, 2020, we entered into two tranches of interest rate swap agreements with various counter-parties that effectively fix our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt. The first tranche commenced on June 30, 2020, and expires on June 30, 2022, with an initial notional amount of $1,150.0 million that amortizes each quarter. The first tranche requires TransUnion to pay fixed rates varying between 0.5200% and 0.5295% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. The second tranche commences on June 30, 2022, and expires on June 30, 2025, with an initial notional amount of $1,110.0 million that amortizes each quarter. The second tranche requires TransUnion to pay fixed rates varying between 0.9125% and 0.9280% in exchange for receiving a variable rate that matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

Table of Contents

2.702% and 2.706%. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,420.0 million, decreasing each quarter until the second agreement terminates on December 30, 2022.

On December 18, 2015, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with various counter-parties that effectively cap our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt at 0.75% beginning June 30, 2016. These cap agreements expired on June 30, 2020, and were previously designated as cash flow hedges.

The change in the fair value of our hedging instruments, included in our assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recorded in other comprehensive income, and reclassified to interest expense when the corresponding hedged debt affects earnings.

The net change in the fair value of the swaps resulted in an unrealized loss of $12.8 million ($9.6 million, net of tax) and $59.7 million ($44.9 million, net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. The net change in the fair value of the swaps resulted in an unrealized loss of $24.3 million ($18.2 million, net of tax) and $38.1 million ($28.6 million, net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. Interest expense on the swaps in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was expense of $7.9 million ($6.6 million, net of tax) and $11.6 million ($8.8 million, net of tax), respectively. Interest expense on the swaps in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was expense of $0.6 million ($0.5 million, net of tax) and $1.2 million ($0.9 million, net of tax), respectively. We expect to recognize a loss of approximately $40.3 million as interest expense due to our expectation that LIBOR will exceed the fixed rates of interest over the next twelve months.

The net change in the caps resulted in a recognition into interest expense previously unrealized loss of $4.5 million ($3.4 million, net of tax) and $4.1 million ($3.1 million, net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, previously recorded in other comprehensive income. The net change in the fair value of the caps resulted in an unrealized loss of $7.1 million ($5.3 million, net of tax) and $11.7 million ($8.8 million, net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, recorded in other comprehensive income. Interest expense reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the fair value of the portion of the caps expiring in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was expense of $4.6 million ($3.9 million, net of tax) and $6.7 million ($5.1 million, net of tax), respectively. Interest expense reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the fair value of the portion of the caps expiring in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was income of $1.3 million ($1.0 million, net of tax) and $3.0 million ($2.2 million, net of tax), respectively.

Fair Value of Debt

As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of our variable-rate Senior Secured Term Loan A-3, excluding original issue discounts and deferred fees was approximately $1,118.6 million. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-5, excluding original issue discounts and deferred fees, was approximately $2,411.5 million. The fair values of our variable-rate term loans are determined using Level 2 inputs, based on quoted market prices for the publicly traded instruments.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Dividends

On February 28, 2020, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on March 13, 2020. The total dividend declared was $14.4 million, of which $14.2 million was paid on March 30, 2020, with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. On May 14, 2020, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on May 28, 2020. The total dividend declared was $14.5 million, of which $14.3 million was paid on June 12, 2020, with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest.

Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. We currently have capacity and intend to continue to pay a quarterly dividend, subject to approval by our board. While we are comfortable paying the dividend at this time, if circumstances further deteriorate, we would consider recommending that our board temporarily reduce or suspend our dividend.

Treasury Stock

On February 13, 2017, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock over the next 3 years. Our board of directors removed the three-year time limitation on February 8, 2018. To date, we have repurchased $133.5 million of our common stock and have the ability to repurchase the remaining $166.5 million.

We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. Repurchases may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, if and when needed, for general corporate purposes. While the existing share repurchase program remains authorized by the board of directors, given the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not intend to repurchase additional shares in the short term. We may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our capital needs and other factors.

During the first quarter of 2020, 0.9 million outstanding employee restricted stock units vested and became taxable to the employees. The employees used 0.3 million shares of the vested stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net share settlement arrangement whereby the employees received 0.6 million of the shares and gave TransUnion the remaining 0.3 million shares that we have recorded as treasury stock. We remitted cash equivalent to the $32.1 million vest date value of the treasury stock to the respective governmental agencies in settlement of the employee withholding tax obligations. On occasion, as other stock units vest or stock options are exercised throughout the year, employees use shares of stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net settlement arrangement and we remit the equivalent value of those shares to the respective governmental agencies.

Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had 100.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, and no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

10. Revenue

All of our revenue is derived from contracts with customers and is reported as revenue in the consolidated statements of income generally as, or at the point in time, the performance obligation is satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. We have contracts with two general groups of performance obligations: those that require us to stand ready to provide goods and services to a customer to use as and when requested (“Stand Ready Performance Obligations”) and those that do not require us to stand ready (“Other Performance Obligations”). Our Stand Ready Performance Obligations include obligations to stand ready to provide data, process transactions, access our databases, software-as-a-service and direct-to-consumer products, provide rights to use our intellectual property and other services. Our Other Performance Obligations include the sale of certain batch data sets and various professional and other services.

Most of our Stand Ready Performance Obligations consist of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same monthly pattern of transfer to our customers. We consider each month of service in this time series to be a distinct performance obligation and, accordingly, recognize revenue over time. For a majority of these Stand Ready Performance Obligations the total contractual price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of transactions, as and when requested by our customers, over the contract period. We allocate the variable price to each month of

Table of Contents

service using the time-series concept and recognize revenue based on the most likely amount of consideration to which we will be entitled, which is generally the amount we have the right to invoice. This monthly amount can be based on the actual volume of units delivered or a guaranteed minimum, if higher. Occasionally we have contracts pursuant to which the amount we will be entitled to for the transactions processed is uncertain, in which case we estimate the revenue based on what we consider to be the most likely amount of consideration to which we will be entitled, and adjust any estimates as facts and circumstances evolve.

Certain Stand Ready Performance Obligation fees result from contingent fee based contracts that require us to provide services before we have an enforceable right to payment. For these performance obligations, we recognize revenue at the point in time the contingency is met and we have an enforceable contract and right to payment.

For all contracts that include a Stand Ready Performance Obligation with variable pricing, we are unable to estimate the variable price attributable to future performance obligations because the number of units to be purchased is not known. As a result, we use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to the future performance obligations where we recognize revenue using the time-series concept as discussed above, including those qualifying for the right to invoice practical expedient. We also use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to contracts with expected durations of one year or less.

Certain of our Other Performance Obligations, including certain batch data sets and certain professional and other services, are delivered at a point in time. Accordingly, we recognize revenue upon delivery, once we have satisfied that obligation. For certain Other Performance Obligations, including certain professional and other services, we recognize revenue over time, based on an estimate of progress towards completion of that obligation. These contracts are not material.

In certain circumstances we apply the revenue recognition guidance to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics. We use estimates and assumptions when accounting for a portfolio that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio of contracts.

Our contracts include standard commercial payment terms generally acceptable in each region, and do not include financing with extended payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties, or similar obligations. Our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.

Accounts receivable are shown separately on our balance sheet. Contract assets and liabilities result due to the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. Contract assets include our right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time, for example, contracts pursuant to which we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until we complete the contract. Contract assets are included in our other current assets and are not material as of June 30, 2020.

As our other contracts with customers generally have a duration of one year or less, our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue that is primarily short-term in nature. Contract liabilities include current and long-term deferred revenue that is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. We expect to recognize the December 31, 2019, current deferred revenue balance as revenue during 2020. Our long-term deferred revenue, which is not material, is expected to be recognized in approximately two years.

For additional disclosures about the disaggregation of our revenue see Note 13, “Reportable Segments.”

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of the increase in shares outstanding determined by using the treasury stock method for awards issued under our incentive stock plans.

As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, there were 1.3 million and 1.1 million contingently-issuable performance-based stock awards outstanding that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, respectively, because the contingencies had not been met.

Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share were as follows:

12. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we reported an effective tax rate of 24.7%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, foreign tax rate differences and accrued withholding taxes on unrepatriated foreign earnings, partially offset by $4.7 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reported an effective tax rate of 23.9%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, foreign tax rate differences, accrued withholding taxes on unrepatriated foreign earnings and changes in valuation allowances for foreign tax credits, partially offset by $21.0 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

We periodically assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. COVID-19 had no material impact on our assessment of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we reported an effective tax rate of 26.9%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $4.9 million in state taxes, $7.8 million in foreign taxes resulting from jurisdictions which have effective tax rates higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, and $2.2 million in other discrete tax items, partially offset by $6.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we reported an effective tax rate of 18.0%, which was lower than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $27.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, partially offset by $12.1 million in foreign taxes for the same reasons as stated above, $7.0 million in state taxes and $1.5 million in other discrete items.

The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits which excludes indirect tax effects was $38.8 million as of June 30, 2020, and $32.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The amounts that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized are $17.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. We classify interest and penalties as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and their associated liabilities as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Given the uncertainties inherent in the audit process, it is reasonably possible that certain audits could result in a significant increase or decrease in the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits. An estimate of the range of the increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit results cannot be made at this time. Generally, tax years 2009 and forward remain open for examination in some foreign jurisdictions, 2011 and forward in some state jurisdictions, and tax years 2012 and forward remain open for examination for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

13. Reportable Segments

We have three reportable segments, U.S. Markets, International, and Consumer Interactive, and the Corporate unit, which provides support services to each of the segments. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses the profit measure of Adjusted EBITDA, on both a consolidated and segment basis, to allocate resources and assess performance of our businesses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as our profit measure because it eliminates the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of operating performance, which is useful to compare operating results between periods. Our board of directors and executive management team also use Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure for both segment and corporate management under our incentive compensation plans. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to each segment plus (less) loss (income) from discontinued operations, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (less) certain acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus certain expenses associated with our accelerated technology investment, plus (less) certain other expenses (income).

The segment financial information below aligns with how we report information to our CODM to assess operating performance and how we manage the business. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as described in Note 1, “Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies” and Note 10, “Revenue.”

The following is a more detailed description of our three reportable segments and the Corporate unit, which provides support services to each segment:

In addition, we have insurance, business and automotive databases in select geographies. These services are offered to customers in a number of industries including financial services, insurance, automotive, collections, and communications, and are delivered through both direct and indirect channels. The International segment also provides consumer services similar to those offered by our Consumer Interactive segment that help consumers proactively manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft.

We report disaggregated revenue of our International segment for the following regions: Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

Consumer Interactive

The Consumer Interactive segment provides solutions that help consumers manage their personal finances and take precautions against identity theft. Services in this segment include credit reports and scores, credit monitoring, fraud protection and resolution, and financial management for consumers. The segment also provides solutions that help businesses respond to data breach events. Our products are provided through user-friendly online and mobile interfaces and are supported by educational content and customer support. Our Consumer Interactive segment serves consumers through both direct and indirect channels.

Corporate

Corporate provides support services for each of the segments, holds investments, and conducts enterprise functions. Certain costs incurred in Corporate that are not directly attributable to one or more of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the table above.

(1)Certain costs that are not directly attributable to one or more of the segments remain in Corporate. These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

(2)This adjustment represents certain non-cash adjustments related to acquired entities, predominantly adjustments to increase revenue resulting from purchase accounting reductions to deferred revenue we record on the opening balance sheets of acquired entities. Deferred revenue results when a company receives payment in advance of fulfilling their performance obligations under contracts. Business combination accounting rules require us to record deferred revenue of acquired entities at fair value if we are obligated to perform any future services under these contracts. The fair value of this deferred revenue is determined based on the direct and indirect incremental costs of fulfilling our performance obligations under these contracts, plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this fair value calculation results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance. The above adjustment includes an estimate for the increase in revenue equal to the difference between what the acquired entities would have recorded as revenue and the lower revenue we record as a result of the reduced deferred revenue balance. This increase is partially offset by an estimated decrease to revenue for certain acquired non-core customer contracts that are not classified as discontinued operations that will expire within approximately one year from the date of acquisition. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we no longer have these adjustments to revenue.

(3)Consisted of stock-based compensation and cash-settled stock-based compensation.

(4)For the three months ended June 30, 2020, consisted of the following adjustments: a $4.8 million loss on the impairment of a Cost Method investment; $3.6 million of Callcredit integration costs; $1.2 million of acquisition expenses; and a ($2.5) million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer.

14. Contingencies

Litigation

In view of the inherent unpredictability of litigation and regulatory matters, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings or investigations are in the early stages, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and regulatory matters or the eventual loss, fines, penalties or business impact, if any, that may result. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving litigation and regulatory matters, however, may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved for those matters, and an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in particular quarterly or annual periods.

The following discussion describes material developments in previously disclosed material legal proceedings that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Footnote 21, “Contingencies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a full description of our material pending legal proceedings at that time.

Ramirez v. Trans Union LLC

On February 27, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in Ramirez v. Trans Union LLC, (No. 3:12-cv-00632-JSC, United States District Court for the Northern District of California), which affirmed in part and reversed and vacated in part the trial court’s judgment, holding that the punitive damages award was excessive in violation of constitutional due process. The appeals court remanded the case to the trial court with instructions to reduce the punitive damages award from approximately $52.0 million ($6,353.08 per class member) to approximately $32.0 million ($3,936.88 per class member). On April 8, 2020, the Ninth Circuit denied our petition for rehearing en banc. We determined that punitive damages were probable and reasonably estimable and recorded an estimated liability at March 31, 2020, in an amount equal to the portion of the punitive damages award affirmed by the Ninth Circuit and a partially offsetting insurance receivable, with

expense of $30.5 million recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. We also recorded a related tax benefit of $7.6 million in our provision for income taxes.

In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed below in “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

References in this discussion and analysis to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to TransUnion and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively.

Overview

TransUnion is a leading global information and insights company that strives to make trust possible between businesses and consumers, working to ensure that each person is reliably and safely represented in the marketplace. At TransUnion, we find innovative ways to leverage data and information to help businesses and consumers transact with confidence and achieve great things. We call this Information for Good.

Grounded in our legacy as a credit reporting agency, we have built a robust and accurate database of information for a large portion of the adult population in the markets we serve. We use our data fusion methodology to link and match an increasing set of other disparate data to further enrich our database. We use this enriched data, combined with our expertise, to continuously develop more powerful and useful solutions for our customers, all in accordance with global laws and regulations. Because of our work, organizations can better understand consumers in order to make more informed decisions, and earn consumer trust through effective, personalized experiences, and the proactive extension of the right opportunities, tools and offers.

We provide consumer reports, actionable insights and analytics such as credit and other scores, and decisioning capabilities to businesses. Businesses embed our solutions into their process workflows to acquire new customers, assess consumer ability to pay for services, identify cross-selling opportunities, measure and manage debt portfolio risk, collect debt, verify consumer identities and investigate potential fraud. Consumers use our solutions to view their credit profiles and access analytical tools that help them understand and manage their personal information and take precautions against identity theft. We have deep domain expertise across a number of attractive industries, which we also refer to as verticals, including Financial Services, Healthcare, Insurance and the other markets we serve. We have a global presence in over 30 countries and territories across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, India, and Asia Pacific.

Our solutions are based on a foundation of financial, credit, alternative credit, identity, bankruptcy, lien, judgment, healthcare, insurance claims, automotive and other relevant information obtained from thousands of sources including financial institutions, private databases, public records repositories, and other data sources. We refine, standardize and enhance this data using sophisticated algorithms to create proprietary databases. Our technology infrastructure allows us to efficiently integrate our data with our analytics and decisioning capabilities to create and deliver innovative solutions to our customers and to quickly adapt to changing customer needs. Our deep analytics resources, including our people and tools driving predictive modeling and scoring, customer segmentation, benchmarking and forecasting, enable us to provide businesses and consumers with better insights into their data. Our decisioning capabilities, which are generally delivered on a software-as-a-service platform, allow businesses to interpret data and apply their specific qualifying criteria to make decisions and take actions. Collectively, our data, analytics and decisioning capabilities allow businesses to authenticate the identity of consumers, effectively determine the most relevant products for consumers, retain and cross-sell to existing consumers, identify and acquire new consumers and reduce loss from fraud and data breaches. Similarly, our capabilities allow consumers to see how their credit profiles have changed over time, understand the impact of financial decisions on their credit scores, manage their personal information and take precautions against identity theft.

Segments

We manage our business and report disaggregated revenue and financial results in three reportable segments: U.S. Markets, International and Consumer Interactive.

•The U.S. Markets segment provides consumer reports, actionable insights and analytics such as credit and other scores, and decisioning capabilities to businesses.

These costs are typically enterprise-level costs and are primarily administrative in nature.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

The following are certain key factors that affect, or have recently affected, our results of operations:

Macroeconomic and Industry Trends; Effects of Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on our Business and Results of Operations

Our revenues can be significantly influenced by general macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of credit and capital, interest rates, inflation, employment levels, consumer confidence and housing demand. The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 is complex and continues to evolve rapidly. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended extensive containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The outbreak has reached all of the regions in which we do business, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns, limitations or closures of non-essential businesses, school closures, social distancing requirements and various economic stimulus initiatives. While certain of these measures have been relaxed or reversed to varying degrees throughout the world, many have subsequently been reinstated and even tightened, adding an additional layer of uncertainty. The global spread of COVID-19 and actions taken in response to the pandemic have negatively affected workforces, customers, consumer confidence, financial markets, employment rates, consumer spending, credit markets and housing demand, caused significant economic and business disruption, volatility and financial uncertainty, and led to a significant economic downturn, including in the markets where we operate. Businesses and consumers continue to react and adapt to the uncertainty with varying degrees of success in the markets where we operate. Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures, have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time. In addition, if the pandemic continues to create significant disruptions in the credit or financial markets, or impacts our credit ratings, it could adversely impact our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all.

From the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s primary focus has been the health and safety of our associates, our customers, and the wider communities in which we operate. In each of the markets we serve, we have quickly and effectively moved to a work-from-home model, allowing us to protect our associates and the broader population while continuing to operate our businesses and provide services and solutions to customers and consumers. In addition, the Company has taken several actions to support those who are financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the jurisdictions where we operate. We remain focused on ensuring impacted consumers are aware of resources and relief available to them, and we are working directly with our partners across the broader consumer credit ecosystem in an effort to prevent adverse impacts to

Table of Contents

consumers’ credit reports as a result of the pandemic. We are also working with trade associations and industry peers to develop additional proactive solutions to help impacted consumers and to facilitate access to resources and educational materials aimed at consumers.

The decline in demand for our services and solutions resulted in a reduction in certain costs that vary with revenue. In addition, we are actively monitoring our cost base and taking actions with the goal of maintaining financial liquidity and flexibility, such as temporarily halting our travel-related expenses, slowing new hiring as we develop our understanding of the shape and the speed of the expected recovery and canceling in-person meetings. We continue to monitor and plan for other cost levers that we can pull and will evaluate whether additional cost control measures are necessary or desirable to enhance our liquidity and financial profile as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve. However, there is no certainty that such measures, or measures that we have already taken, will be successful in mitigating the numerous operational, health and financial risks posed by COVID-19 and it may be necessary to further modify our business practices in the future, which could further materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, operations and our consolidated financial statements is inherently uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic; the impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions during and after the pandemic, including interest rates, employment rates, consumer confidence, and foreign exchange rates in each of the markets in which we operate; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been taken and continue to evolve in response to the pandemic, which could include limitations on and changes to our operations or mandates to provide services; the effect on our customers; changes in customer and consumer demand for our services; the effect on consumer confidence and spending; our ability to sell and provide our services, including the impact of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our customers to pay for our services on a timely basis or at all; the health of, and the effect on, our workforce; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity; and the potential effects on our internal controls, including those over financial reporting, as a result of changes in working environments for our employees, business partners and suppliers. Each of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and could further materially and adversely impact our business, consolidated financial statements and our stock price.

We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context with the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition. While based on our current assessment of these estimates there was not a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, including our expectations at the time regarding the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Our revenues are also significantly influenced by industry trends, including the demand for information services in financial services, healthcare, insurance and other industries we serve. Companies are increasingly relying on business analytics and big-data technologies to help process data in a cost-efficient manner. As customers have gained the ability to rapidly aggregate and analyze data generated by their own activities, they are increasingly expecting access to real-time data and analytics from their information providers as well as solutions that fully integrate into their workflows. In the long term, and once the impact of COVID-19 subsides, we expect demand for consumer solutions to increase, with higher consumer awareness of the importance and usage of their credit information, increased risk of identity theft due to data breaches, and more readily available free credit information. The complexity of existing regulations and the emergence of new regulations across the globe, including new and future COVID-19 related regulations on consumer and business activities and interactions and stimulus packages, will continue to make operations for businesses more complex.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Developments

The following developments impact the comparability of our balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows between years:

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended extensive containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments.

Table of Contents

While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time.

On March 10, 2020, we entered into two tranches of interest rate swap agreements with various counter-parties that effectively fixes our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt. The first tranche commences on June 30, 2020 and expires on June 30, 2022 with an initial notional amount of $1,150.0 million which amortizes each quarter. The first tranche requires TransUnion to pay fixed rates varying between 0.5200% and 0.5295% in exchange for receiving a variable rate which matches the variable rate on our loans. The second tranche commences on June 30, 2022 and expires on June 30, 2025 with an initial notional amount of $1,110.0 million which amortizes each quarter. The second tranche requires TransUnion to pay fixed rates varying between 0.9125% and 0.9280% in exchange for receiving a variable rate which matches the variable rate on our loans. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

On February 27, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed and vacated in part the trial court’s judgment in Ramirez v. Trans Union LLC, reducing the trial court’s punitive damages award from approximately $52 million to approximately $32 million. As a result, we recorded $30.5 million of litigation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2020.

Since the middle of the second quarter of 2019, we have prepaid $340 million of our Senior Secured Term Loans. We also refinanced our senior secured credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2019. Both of these resulted in lower interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Recent Acquisitions and Partnerships

We selectively evaluate acquisitions and partnerships as a means to expand our business and international footprint and to enter new markets. Since January 1, 2019, we have completed the following acquisitions, including those that impact the comparability of our results between periods:

•On May 22, 2019, we acquired 100% of the equity of TruSignal, Inc. (“TruSignal”). TruSignal is an innovative leader in people-based marketing technology for Fortune 500 brands, agencies, platforms, publishers and data owners. TruSignal uses predictive scoring, powered by artificial intelligence, to make big data actionable for one-to-one addressable marketing. The results of operations of TruSignal, which are not material to our consolidated financial statements, have been included as part of our U.S. Markets segment in our consolidated statements of income since the date of the acquisition.

Key Performance Measures

Management, including our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), evaluates the financial performance of our businesses based on a variety of key indicators. These indicators include the GAAP measures of revenue, segment Adjusted EBITDA, cash provided by operating activities and cash paid for capital expenditures, and the non-GAAP measures Adjusted Revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, these key indicators were as follows:

As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the tables above and footnotes below.

(1)This adjustment represents certain non-cash adjustments related to acquired entities, predominantly adjustments to increase revenue resulting from purchase accounting reductions to deferred revenue we record on the opening balance sheets of acquired entities. Deferred revenue results when a company receives payment in advance of fulfilling their performance obligations under contracts. Business combination accounting rules require us to record deferred revenue of acquired entities at fair value if we are obligated to perform any future services under these contracts. The fair value of this deferred revenue is determined based on the direct and indirect incremental costs of fulfilling our performance obligations under these contracts, plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this fair value calculation results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance. The above adjustment includes an estimate for the increase in revenue equal to the difference between what the acquired entities would have recorded as revenue and the lower revenue we record as a result of the reduced deferred revenue balance. This increase is partially offset by an estimated decrease to revenue for certain acquired non-core customer contracts that are not classified as discontinued operations that will expire within approximately one year from the date of acquisition. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we no longer have these adjustments to revenue. We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of our revenue because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our revenue and provides a basis to compare revenue between periods. In addition, our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted Revenue as a compensation measure under our incentive compensation plans. The table above provides a reconciliation for revenue to Adjusted Revenue.

(2)We define Adjusted Revenue as GAAP revenue adjusted for certain acquisition-related deferred revenue and non-core contract-related revenue as further discussed in the footnotes of the attached Schedules 1, 2, and 3. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we no longer have these adjustments to revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus (less) loss (income) from discontinued operations, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus certain accelerated technology investment expenses to migrate to the cloud, plus (less) certain other expenses (income). We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of revenue because we believe it provides a basis to compare revenue between periods. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. Also, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours. In addition, our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure under our incentive compensation plan. Furthermore, under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to a ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt.” Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other income and expense. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows

from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating income or net income as indicators of operating performance. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income attributable to TransUnion. The table above provides a reconciliation from our net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

(3)Consisted of stock-based compensation and cash-settled stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, consisted of the following adjustments: a ($31.2) million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer; a ($0.9) million adjustment to contingent consideration expense from previous acquisitions; a ($0.2) million reimbursement for transition services provided to the buyers of certain of our discontinued operations; $4.4 million of Callcredit integration costs; a $3.3 million loss on the impairment of a Cost Method investment; and $0.8 million of acquisition expenses.

(5)Represents expenses associated with our accelerated technology investment.

Revenue

Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread measures implemented to contain its effects and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time.

Revenue decreased $27.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019, due primarily to a decrease in organic revenue in the U.S. Markets Emerging Verticals, all regions in the International segment and a 1.4% decrease from the impact of weakening foreign currencies,, partially offset by organic growth in the U.S. Markets Financial Services vertical and the Consumer Interactive segment, revenue from the recent acquisition in U.S. Markets Emerging Verticals and revenue from new product initiatives.

Revenue increased $40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019, due primarily to organic growth in the U.S. Markets segments, including both the Financial Services and Emerging Verticals, the Canada region in the International segment and the Consumer Interactive segment, revenue from the recent acquisition in Emerging Verticals and revenue from new product initiatives, partially offset by a decrease in organic revenue in the other regions in the International segment and a 1.1% decrease from the impact of weakening foreign currencies.

U.S. Markets Segment

U.S. Markets revenue decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased $52.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in Emerging Verticals, mostly offset by an increase in revenue in Financial Services. The increase in revenue for the six-month period is due primarily to increases in both verticals.

Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in our U.S Markets segment. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our U.S Markets segment for an uncertain period of time.

Financial Services: Revenue increased $9.2 million and $50.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019. The increase in revenue for both periods is due primarily to improvements in market conditions in our mortgage line of business, as historically low interest rates drove refinance activity and the home purchase market had modest growth. The growth in the mortgage line of business, which may not persist, was partially offset by the decreases in our other lines of business, which began to show signs of improvement in May.

Emerging Verticals: Revenue decreased $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to a decrease in the Healthcare, Diversified Markets, Collections and Insurance verticals, partially offset by an increase in the Public Sector and Media verticals. The increase in revenue for the six-month period is due primarily to an increase in the Insurance, Media, and Public Sector verticals, partially offset by a decrease in the Collections and Diversified Markets verticals.

International Segment

International revenue decreased $31.4 million, or 20.8%, and $19.7 million, or 6.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to a decrease in local currency revenue in all regions as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 6.1% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies. The decrease in revenue for the six-month period is due primarily to a decrease in local currency revenue in all regions as a result of COVID-19 in the second quarter and a decrease of 4.9% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies, partially offset by an increase in local currency revenue in all regions from increased volumes including new product initiatives in the first quarter.

Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all regions of our International segment. In our less developed regions, including Latin America, Africa, India and portions of Asia Pacific, many of our customers are unable to operate as effectively or at all in a remote work-from-home environment, consumers are less able to transact online, and government stimulus efforts have generally been less than in the United States, all of which adversely impacted revenue in these regions. Canada and the United Kingdom were more in line, although weaker than the United States. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our International segment for an uncertain period of time.

Canada: Revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 4.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and increased $2.3 million, or 4.7%, compared with the same periods in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to a decrease of 3.4% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies and lower local currency revenue as a result of COVID-19. The increase in revenue for the six-month period is due primarily to higher local currency revenue from increased volumes including new product initiatives during the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by a decrease in local currency revenue from decreased volumes in the second quarter as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 2.2% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies.

Latin America: Revenue decreased $9.0 million, or 34.4%, and $10.0 million, or 19.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019, due primarily to lower local currency revenue as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 12.9% and 11.4% in each respective period from the impact of weakening foreign currencies.

United Kingdom: Revenue decreased $7.4 million, or 15.9%, and $0.8 million, or 0.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to lower local currency revenue as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 3.0% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies. The decrease in revenue for the six-month period is due primarily to a decrease in local currency revenue in the second quarter as a result of

COVID-19 and a decrease of 2.3% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies, partially offset by higher local currency revenue from increased volumes including new product initiatives during the first quarter of 2020.

Africa: Revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 35.8%, and $5.7 million, or 19.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower local currency revenue as a result of COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020, and a decrease of 14.9% and 11.6% in each respective period from the impact of weakening foreign currencies.

India: Revenue decreased $7.3 million, or 29.1%, and $4.1 million, or 7.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to lower local currency revenue as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 6.6% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies. The decrease in revenue during the six-month period is due primarily to a decrease in local currency revenue in the second quarter as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease of 4.7% from the impact of weakening foreign currencies, partially offset by higher local currency revenue from increased volumes including new product initiatives during the first quarter of 2020.

Asia Pacific: Revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 10.5%, and $1.3 million, or 4.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower local currency revenue in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by an increase of 1.2% and 1.3% in each respective period from the impact of strengthening foreign currencies.

Consumer Interactive Segment

Consumer Interactive revenue increased $4.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019, due primarily to an increase in revenue in our direct channel. The impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may have a material and adverse impact on our Consumer Interactive segment for an uncertain period of time, particularly in our indirect channel,

Certain of our cost of services costs are variable in nature and fluctuate directly with revenue. Certain other costs of services and selling, general and administrative costs are discretionary in nature and management has identified several cost savings measures that have been implemented to a varying extent, and can be adjusted depending on the severity of any decline in revenue.

Cost of Services

Cost of services increased $2.4 million and $19.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019.

The increase was due primarily to:

•an increase in labor costs in our U.S. Markets segment, as we invested in key strategic growth initiatives; and

•an increase in product costs, primarily in our U.S. Markets segment;

partially offset by:

•the impact of weakening foreign currencies on the expenses of our International segment.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million and $44.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019.

The increase was due primarily to:

Table of Contents

•$30.5 million of expense incurred in connection with the Ramirez litigation in the six-month period;

•an increase in stock-based compensation from new awards and a decrease in 2019 from lower expected achievement on certain performance-based awards;

•an increase in costs from our accelerated technology investment;

•an increase in bad debt expense due to an increase in our estimated reserves including our current expected impact of COVID-19, primarily in the first quarter; and

•an increase in advertising costs, primarily in our Consumer Interactive segment in the six-month period;

partially offset by:

•a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to travel restrictions and shelter in place orders related to COVID-19; and

•the impact of overall weakening foreign currencies on the expenses of our International segment.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million and decreased $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. These change are due primarily to a decrease in amortization related to intangible assets from our 2012 change in control, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization from other tangible and intangible assets.

Table of Contents

EBITDA margins are calculated using segment gross Adjusted Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated using consolidated Adjusted Revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA decreased $21.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019.

The decrease for the three-month period was due primarily to:

•a decrease in revenue in our International and U.S. Markets segments; and

•an increase in labor costs in our U.S. Markets segment, as we invested in key strategic growth initiatives;

partially offset by:

•an increase in revenue in our Consumer Interactive segment;

•the impact of weakening foreign currencies on the expenses of our International segment; and

•a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to travel restrictions and shelter in place orders related to COVID-19.

The increase for the six-month period was due primarily to:

•an increase in revenue in our U.S. Markets and Consumer Interactive segment;

•a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to travel restrictions and shelter in place orders related to COVID-19; and

•the impact of weakening foreign currencies on the expenses of our International segment;

partially offset by:

•a decrease in revenue in our International segment;

•an increase in product costs, primarily in our U.S. Markets segment;

•an increase in labor costs, as we invested in key strategic growth initiatives; and

•an increase in advertising costs, primarily in our Consumer Interactive segment.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the U.S. Markets segment decreased for the three-month period due primarily to the impact of COVID-19 on revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the U.S. Markets segment increased for the six-month period due primarily to improving market conditions in the mortgage line of business; offset by the impact of COVID-19 on revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA margins for the International segment decreased for both the three- and six-month periods due primarily to the impact of COVID-19 on revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Consumer Interactive segment was relatively consistent for the three-month period compared to the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margins for the Consumer Interactive segment decreased for the six-month period due to an increase in advertising costs, partially offset by an increase in revenue.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, interest expense decreased $11.7 million and $19.1 million compared with the same periods in 2019, due primarily to the impact of the decrease in our average outstanding principal balance and an decrease in the average interest rate. Since the middle of the second quarter of 2019 we have prepaid $340 million of our Senior Secured Term Loans which impacts the comparability of interest expense between periods. We also refinanced our Senior Secured Credit Facility in late 2019 resulting in a lower interest rate. Our future interest expense could be materially impacted by changes in our variable interest rates caused by COVID-19 or other macro-economic factors, to the extent our variable rate debt is not hedged with fixed rate debt.

Acquisition fees represent costs we have incurred for various acquisition-related efforts.

Other income (expense), net includes currency remeasurement gains and losses and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, other income (expense), net included a $4.8 million loss on the impairment of an investment in a Cost Method investment, offset by a $2.5 million gain on another Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, other income (expense), net included a $31.2 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer, offset by a ($3.3 million) loss on the impairment of another Cost Method investment. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, other income (expense), net included a $31.2 million gain on a Cost Method investment resulting from an observable price change for a similar investment of the same issuer, offset by ($8.6 million) of losses on impairment of other Cost Method investments.

Significant Changes in Assets and Liabilities

Total goodwill decreased at June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, due primarily to the impact of changes in the foreign exchange rates of our international operations relative to the U.S. dollar on the translated balances of our foreign goodwill. Total other intangible assets decreased at June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, due primarily to the impact of changes in the foreign exchange rates of our international operations relative to the U.S. dollar on the translated balances of our foreign other intangible assets and additional amortization during the first half of 2020, offset by additional investments in internally developed software during the first half of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Our principal uses of liquidity are working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other capital structure payments, business acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. We believe our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and funds available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service and other capital structure payments, and business acquisitions for the foreseeable future. Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments, and our consolidated financial statements. At this time, however, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 to impact our ability to fund our operating needs for the foreseeable future. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations in the future is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue, macroeconomic conditions, the length and severity of business disruptions caused by COVID-19, our ability to contain costs, including capital expenditures, and to collect accounts receivable, and various other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will continue to monitor our liquidity position and may elect to raise funds through debt or equity financing in the future to fund operations, significant investments or acquisitions that are consistent with our growth strategy. In addition, if the pandemic continues to create significant disruptions in the credit or financial markets, or impacts our credit ratings, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $432.2 million and $274.1 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $219.0 million and $176.5 million was held outside the United States in each respective period. As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, and could have borrowed up to the remaining $299.9 million available.

TransUnion also has the ability to request incremental loans on the same terms under the Senior Secured Credit Facility up to the greater of $1,000.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the four quarters preceding the measurement date, and may incur additional incremental loans so long as the senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.25-to-1, subject to certain additional conditions and commitments by existing or new lenders to fund any additional borrowings.

The balance retained in cash and cash equivalents is consistent with our short-term cash needs and investment objectives. We may be required to make additional principal payments on the Senior Secured Term Loans B-5 and A-3 based on excess cash flows of the prior year, as defined in the credit agreement. There were no excess cash flows for 2019 and therefore no additional payment was required in 2020. Additional payments based on excess cash flows could be due in future years. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 “Debt,” for additional information about our debt.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	158.1	$	7.3	$	150.8

Operating Activities

The increase in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was due primarily to a decrease in working capital and interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in operating performance in the second quarter as a result of COVID-19.

Investing Activities

The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to an increase in net purchases of other investments, primarily in non-negotiable certificates of deposit included in other current assets.

Financing Activities

The decrease in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to debt prepayments made in 2019 but not 2020.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures to grow our business by developing new and enhanced capabilities, to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization and to reduce risks. We make capital expenditures for product development, disaster recovery, security enhancements, regulatory compliance, and the replacement and upgrade of existing equipment at the end of its useful life.

Cash paid for capital expenditures decreased $0.4 million, from $88.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, to $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Debt

Hedges

On December 17, 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with various counter-parties that effectively fix our LIBOR exposure on a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loans or similar replacement debt, which is currently fixed at 2.702% and 2.706%. We have designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges. The current aggregate notional amount under these agreements is $1,420.0 million, decreasing each quarter until the second agreement terminates on December 30, 2022.

Effect of Certain Debt Covenants

A breach of any of the covenants under the agreements governing our debt could limit our ability to borrow funds under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and could result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and the lenders could terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay the amounts declared due, the lenders could proceed against any collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness.

With certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior secured net leverage test must be met as a condition to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, and may be required to make certain restricted payments. The senior secured net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.5-to-1 at any such measurement date. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Our ability to meet our liquidity needs or to pay dividends on our common stock depends on our subsidiaries’ earnings, the terms of our indebtedness, and other contractual restrictions. Trans Union LLC, the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, is not permitted to declare any dividend or make any other distribution subject to certain exceptions. TransUnion may make dividend payments up to the greater of $75 million or 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA per year, or an unlimited amount provided that no default or event of default exists and so long as the total net leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75-to-1. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no other material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the normal course of business we are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in variable interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial position. We manage the exposure to this market risk through our regular operating and financing activities. We may use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency and interest rate hedges, but only as a risk management tool and not for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of Senior Secured Term Loans and a $300.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rates on these borrowings are based, at our election, on LIBOR or an alternate base rate, subject to floors, plus applicable margins based on applicable net leverage ratios. We currently have several interest rate hedge instruments that effectively fixes our LIBOR exposure on approximately 70% of our outstanding debt. Based on the amount of unhedged outstanding variable-rate debt, we have a material exposure to interest rate risk. In the future our exposure to interest rate risk may change due to changes in the amount borrowed, changes in interest rates, or changes in the amount we have hedged. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, LIBOR has dropped significantly, and may be more volatile in the future, which could materially impact our total interest expense due to the unhedged portion of our debt. The amount of our outstanding debt, and the ratio of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt, can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions or other factors.

See Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Note 8, “Debt,” for additional information about interest rates on our debt.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A substantial majority of our revenue, expense and capital expenditure activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we transact business in a number of foreign currencies, including British pounds sterling, the South African rand, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee, the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real. In reporting the results of our foreign operations, we benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies.

We are required to translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are measured in foreign currencies at the applicable period-end exchange rate in our consolidated balance sheets. We are required to translate revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year in our consolidated statements of income. The resulting translation adjustment is included in other comprehensive income, as a component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income and expense as incurred.

Table of Contents

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against many of the currencies in the countries in which we operate, which has adversely impacted our results of operations. COVID-19 may continue to create volatile exchange rates that could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing TransUnion. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our results of operations have been materially and adversely impacted and could be materially and adversely impacted in the future by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The countries and territories in which our services and solutions are sold are in varying stages of restrictions and re-opening to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain jurisdictions have begun re-opening only to return to restrictions in the face of increases in new COVID-19 cases. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to materially and adversely impact our business, operations, and consolidated financial statements remains highly uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration, scope, severity, and any resurgences of the pandemic; the continued impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rate, consumer confidence, and foreign exchange rates in each of the markets in which we operate; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been, and continue to be, taken in response to the pandemic (which could include limitations on or changes to our operations or mandates to provide services); the effect on our customers; changes in customer and consumer demand for our services; the effect on consumer confidence and spending; our ability to sell and provide our services, including the impact of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our customers to pay for our services; the health of, and the effect on, our workforce; and the potential effects on our internal controls, including those over financial reporting, as a result of changes in working environments for our employees and business partners.

The global spread of COVID-19, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions, our consolidated financial statements and the trading price of our securities. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19 may continue to have a material and adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time. The impact of COVID-19 may also heighten other risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially and adversely impact our business, consolidated financial statements and stock price.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and “its” refers to TransUnion and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the financial statements and footnote tables. The operating results of TransUnion for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. The Company’s year end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of TransUnion include the accounts of TransUnion and all of its controlled subsidiaries. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments,” are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
COVID-19 Accounting Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impact of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) On Our Financial Statements The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 is complex and continues to evolve rapidly. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended extensive containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The outbreak has reached all of the regions in which we do business, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns, limitations or closures of non-essential businesses, school closures, social distancing requirements and various economic stimulus initiatives. While certain of these measures have been relaxed or reversed to varying degrees throughout the world, many have subsequently been reinstated and even tightened, adding an additional layer of uncertainty. The global spread of COVID-19 and actions taken in response to the virus have negatively affected workforces, customers, consumer confidence, financial markets, employment rates, consumer spending, credit markets and housing demand, caused significant economic and business disruption, volatility and financial uncertainty, and led to a significant economic downturn, including in the markets where we operate. Businesses and consumers continue to react and adapt to the uncertainty with varying degrees of success in the markets where we operate. Since mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread measures implemented to contain its effects, and business and consumer responses to such measures, have had a material and adverse impact on numerous aspects of our business, including customer demand for our services and solutions in all of our segments. While we have seen some signs of increased demand for our services in the markets where we operate since the low point in April, the impact of COVID-19, including government measures and business and consumer responses to such measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business for an uncertain period of time. We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context with the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition. While our current assessment of these estimates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, including our expectations at the time regarding the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Long Lived Assets [Policy Text Block]	Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill We review long-lived asset groups that are subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if there is an indicator of impairment. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of impairments to long-lived assets and goodwill could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. The decrease in other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, as of June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, includes a decrease of $64.1 million due to the translation adjustment of our foreign entities long-lived assets, net of accumulated amortization, resulting from changes to foreign exchange rates between periods. The decrease in goodwill as of June 30, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, is due to a $97.1 million translation adjustment of our foreign entities goodwill resulting from changes to foreign exchange rates between periods. The offset to these translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our balance sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In addition, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and current expectations of future economic conditions based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption and at June 30, 2020, this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates including the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable and less susceptible to manipulation. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts and other contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU, among other things, provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying certain U.S. GAAP requirements to these contracts if certain criteria are met for a limited period of time in order to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We have adopted this guidance and have applied certain optional expedients and exceptions and expect to apply other optional expedients and exceptions to our existing debt and hedge contracts that reference LIBOR, and to any other new contract that references LIBOR or another reference rate when these reference rates are discontinued and as our contracts are updated up through the transition period that ends December 31, 2022. The adoption of these expedients and exceptions did not and is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. Among other things it eliminates the need for organizations to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: an exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation; exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and an exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This amendment also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for: franchise taxes that are partially based on income; transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. We are assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. On January 16, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. This amendment, among other things, clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. This amendment also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. We are assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe the impact will be material.

Stockholders' Equity Attributable to Parent [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure	Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock Dividends On February 28, 2020, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on March 13, 2020. The total dividend declared was $14.4 million, of which $14.2 million was paid on March 30, 2020, with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. On May 14, 2020, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share to holders of record as of the close of business on May 28, 2020. The total dividend declared was $14.5 million, of which $14.3 million was paid on June 12, 2020, with the remainder due as dividend equivalents to employees who hold restricted stock units when and if those units vest. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. We currently have capacity and intend to continue to pay a quarterly dividend, subject to approval by our board. While we are comfortable paying the dividend at this time, if circumstances further deteriorate, we would consider recommending that our board temporarily reduce or suspend our dividend. Treasury Stock On February 13, 2017, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock over the next 3 years. Our board of directors removed the three-year time limitation on February 8, 2018. To date, we have repurchased $133.5 million of our common stock and have the ability to repurchase the remaining $166.5 million. We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. Repurchases may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, if and when needed, for general corporate purposes. While the existing share repurchase program remains authorized by the board of directors, given the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not intend to repurchase additional shares in the short term. We may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our capital needs and other factors. During the first quarter of 2020, 0.9 million outstanding employee restricted stock units vested and became taxable to the employees. The employees used 0.3 million shares of the vested stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net share settlement arrangement whereby the employees received 0.6 million of the shares and gave TransUnion the remaining 0.3 million shares that we have recorded as treasury stock. We remitted cash equivalent to the $32.1 million vest date value of the treasury stock to the respective governmental agencies in settlement of the employee withholding tax obligations. On occasion, as other stock units vest or stock options are exercised throughout the year, employees use shares of stock to satisfy their payroll tax withholding obligations in a net settlement arrangement and we remit the equivalent value of those shares to the respective governmental agencies. Preferred Stock As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had 100.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, and no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue	Revenue All of our revenue is derived from contracts with customers and is reported as revenue in the consolidated statements of income generally as, or at the point in time, the performance obligation is satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. We have contracts with two general groups of performance obligations: those that require us to stand ready to provide goods and services to a customer to use as and when requested (“Stand Ready Performance Obligations”) and those that do not require us to stand ready (“Other Performance Obligations”). Our Stand Ready Performance Obligations include obligations to stand ready to provide data, process transactions, access our databases, software-as-a-service and direct-to-consumer products, provide rights to use our intellectual property and other services. Our Other Performance Obligations include the sale of certain batch data sets and various professional and other services. Most of our Stand Ready Performance Obligations consist of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same monthly pattern of transfer to our customers. We consider each month of service in this time series to be a distinct performance obligation and, accordingly, recognize revenue over time. For a majority of these Stand Ready Performance Obligations the total contractual price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of transactions, as and when requested by our customers, over the contract period. We allocate the variable price to each month of service using the time-series concept and recognize revenue based on the most likely amount of consideration to which we will be entitled, which is generally the amount we have the right to invoice. This monthly amount can be based on the actual volume of units delivered or a guaranteed minimum, if higher. Occasionally we have contracts pursuant to which the amount we will be entitled to for the transactions processed is uncertain, in which case we estimate the revenue based on what we consider to be the most likely amount of consideration to which we will be entitled, and adjust any estimates as facts and circumstances evolve. Certain Stand Ready Performance Obligation fees result from contingent fee based contracts that require us to provide services before we have an enforceable right to payment. For these performance obligations, we recognize revenue at the point in time the contingency is met and we have an enforceable contract and right to payment. For all contracts that include a Stand Ready Performance Obligation with variable pricing, we are unable to estimate the variable price attributable to future performance obligations because the number of units to be purchased is not known. As a result, we use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to the future performance obligations where we recognize revenue using the time-series concept as discussed above, including those qualifying for the right to invoice practical expedient. We also use the exception available to forgo disclosures about revenue attributable to contracts with expected durations of one year or less. Certain of our Other Performance Obligations, including certain batch data sets and certain professional and other services, are delivered at a point in time. Accordingly, we recognize revenue upon delivery, once we have satisfied that obligation. For certain Other Performance Obligations, including certain professional and other services, we recognize revenue over time, based on an estimate of progress towards completion of that obligation. These contracts are not material. In certain circumstances we apply the revenue recognition guidance to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics. We use estimates and assumptions when accounting for a portfolio that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio of contracts. Our contracts include standard commercial payment terms generally acceptable in each region, and do not include financing with extended payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties, or similar obligations. Our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers. Accounts receivable are shown separately on our balance sheet. Contract assets and liabilities result due to the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. Contract assets include our right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time, for example, contracts pursuant to which we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until we complete the contract. Contract assets are included in our other current assets and are not material as of June 30, 2020. As our other contracts with customers generally have a duration of one year or less, our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue that is primarily short-term in nature. Contract liabilities include current and long-term deferred revenue that is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. We expect to recognize the December 31, 2019, current deferred revenue balance as revenue during 2020. Our long-term deferred revenue, which is not material, is expected to be recognized in approximately two years. For additional disclosures about the disaggregation of our revenue see Note 13, “Reportable Segments.”

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure	Income Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we reported an effective tax rate of 24.7%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, foreign tax rate differences and accrued withholding taxes on unrepatriated foreign earnings, partially offset by $4.7 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reported an effective tax rate of 23.9%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, foreign tax rate differences, accrued withholding taxes on unrepatriated foreign earnings and changes in valuation allowances for foreign tax credits, partially offset by $21.0 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. We periodically assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. COVID-19 had no material impact on our assessment of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets could materially and adversely impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we reported an effective tax rate of 26.9%, which was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $4.9 million in state taxes, $7.8 million in foreign taxes resulting from jurisdictions which have effective tax rates higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, and $2.2 million in other discrete tax items, partially offset by $6.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we reported an effective tax rate of 18.0%, which was lower than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to $27.3 million of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, partially offset by $12.1 million in foreign taxes for the same reasons as stated above, $7.0 million in state taxes and $1.5 million in other discrete items. The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits which excludes indirect tax effects was $38.8 million as of June 30, 2020, and $32.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The amounts that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized are $17.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. We classify interest and penalties as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and their associated liabilities as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Given the uncertainties inherent in the audit process, it is reasonably possible that certain audits could result in a significant increase or decrease in the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits. An estimate of the range of the increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit results cannot be made at this time. Generally, tax years 2009 and forward remain open for examination in some foreign jurisdictions, 2011 and forward in some state jurisdictions, and tax years 2012 and forward remain open for examination for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	14. Contingencies Litigation In view of the inherent unpredictability of litigation and regulatory matters, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings or investigations are in the early stages, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and regulatory matters or the eventual loss, fines, penalties or business impact, if any, that may result. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving litigation and regulatory matters, however, may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved for those matters, and an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in particular quarterly or annual periods. The following discussion describes material developments in previously disclosed material legal proceedings that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Footnote 21, “Contingencies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a full description of our material pending legal proceedings at that time. Ramirez v. Trans Union LLC On February 27, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in Ramirez v. Trans Union LLC, (No. 3:12-cv-00632-JSC, United States District Court for the Northern District of California), which affirmed in part and reversed and vacated in part the trial court’s judgment, holding that the punitive damages award was excessive in violation of constitutional due process. The appeals court remanded the case to the trial court with instructions to reduce the punitive damages award from approximately $52.0 million ($6,353.08 per class member) to approximately $32.0 million ($3,936.88 per class member). On April 8, 2020, the Ninth Circuit denied our petition for rehearing en banc. We determined that punitive damages were probable and reasonably estimable and recorded an estimated liability at March 31, 2020, in an amount equal to the portion of the punitive damages award affirmed by the Ninth Circuit and a partially offsetting insurance receivable, with expense of $30.5 million recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. We also recorded a related tax benefit of $7.6 million in our provision for income taxes.
