|
Revenues from ongoing businesses were $3.3 billion, a 5% increase before currency. Strong growth across the Professional division, up 10%, and a 1% increase in Markets division revenues drove the overall increase.
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% and the corresponding margin was 28.9% versus 25.3% in the prior-year period. Excluding currency, adjusted EBITDA increased 20% and the corresponding margin increased 370 basis points.
|
·
|
Underlying operating profit increased 12% and the corresponding margin was 22.0% versus 21.2% in the same period in 2010. Excluding currency, underlying operating profit increased 10% and the corresponding margin increased 90 basis points.
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA growth and underlying operating profit growth across both divisions were due to flow-through from higher revenues, integration savings and the benefit of currency.
|
·
|
Adjusted EPS was $0.56 compared to $0.45 in the prior-year period. The increase was largely attributable to higher underlying operating profit and lower integration costs.

·
|
Revenues were up 10%, driven by solid growth across all businesses. Legal grew 8%, Tax & Accounting increased 20% and Intellectual Property & Science was up 10%.
|
·
|
EBITDA increased 12% compared to the prior-year period. The corresponding margin was 36.1%, an increase of 20 basis points as flow-through from higher revenues was partly offset by the negative impact of the revenue mix in the Legal segment and the dilutive effect of acquisitions.
|
·
|
Operating profit was up 12% compared to the prior-year period. The corresponding margin was 27.8%, 20 basis points higher than the prior-year period. Acquisitions negatively impacted the margin by 110 basis points.
|
·
|
Revenues increased 8% compared to the prior-year period. US Law Firm Solutions grew 3% as a 17% increase in Business of Law (FindLaw and Elite) was offset by a 3% decline in research-related revenues. Corporate, Government & Academic and Risk & Compliance revenues increased 13% (3% organic and 10% from acquisitions). Global businesses grew 10% (4% organic and 6% from acquisitions) with strong growth in Latin America and Canada.
|
·
|
EBITDA increased 7% and the associated margin was 38.3% compared to 38.9% in the prior-year period.
|
·
|
Operating profit increased 7% and the associated margin was 30.1% compared to 30.5% in the prior-year period. The margin decrease was primarily due to a change in business mix and the dilutive effect of acquisitions.
|
·
|
WestlawNext has been sold to over 29,000 customers since its launch in February 2010 – representing 46% of Westlaw’s revenue base.
|
·
|
Revenues were up 20% compared to the prior-year period, led by growth in income tax software sales and electronic filing of tax returns, strong growth in Checkpoint and acquisitions.
|
·
|
EBITDA increased 24% and the related margin increased 90 basis points to 28.3% primarily driven by strong flow-through from revenues and the result of efficiency initiatives.
|
·
|
Operating profit increased 22% and the related margin increased 30 basis points to 18.4%. The increase was due to strong flow-through from revenues and efficiency initiatives, partly offset by the dilutive effect of acquisitions.
|
·
|
Revenues were up 10% compared to the prior-year period. Growth was driven by IP Solutions, which was up 12%, led by IP Management Services. Scientific & Scholarly Research grew 8% due to timing benefits related to significant backfile sales and growth in core information offerings. Life Sciences increased 9% due to continued demand for biology and disease analytics products and acquisitions.
|
·
|
EBITDA was up 23% with the corresponding margin increasing 350 basis points to 36.7%.
|
·
|
Operating profit was up 28% with the corresponding margin increasing to 29.8%. The increase in EBITDA and operating profit margins was primarily due to revenue flow-through and included timing benefits. The year-to-date operating profit margin of 27.6% is believed to be more reflective of the business segment’s full-year performance.

|
Revenues increased 1%. Strong revenue growth in Enterprise and Tradeweb was partly offset by weakness in Investment Management and Exchange Traded Instruments. Revenue growth would have been 2% excluding a 5% decline in recoveries (pass-through revenues from third-party services such as exchange fees).
|
·
|
Recurring subscription-related revenues were flat. Transactions-related revenues increased 15% due to the increase in the company’s ownership in Tradeweb and higher transaction volumes. Outright revenues declined 9%.
|
·
|
By geography, revenues in Asia increased 2%; revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were flat while revenues in the Americas increased 1%.
|
·
|
EBITDA was $525 million, up 11%, with a related margin of 28.0%. Excluding currency, EBITDA increased 8% and the related margin rose 170 basis points.
|
·
|
Operating profit was $382 million, up 8%, with a related margin of 20.3%. Excluding currency, operating profit increased 4% and the related margin rose 60 basis points due to flow-through of integration savings.
|
·
|
Markets has sold or migrated more than 32,000 Thomson Reuters Eikon desktops since the launch of the new desktop offering in September 2010.
|
·
|
A number of operational and organizational changes were made during the quarter that are intended to drive growth and capture operating efficiencies, including reorganizing the sales force, flattening the management structure and reprioritizing the product development roadmap.
|
·
|
Revenues were up 2% driven by 11% organic growth at Tradeweb and an increase in Thomson Reuters ownership in the business. Revenue growth was partly offset by a 9% decline in recoveries. Excluding recoveries, revenues grew 4%.
|
·
|
The Treasury business was up 1% in the quarter.
|
·
|
Exchange Traded Instruments declined 6% due to planned shutdowns of low-margin products and the continued reduction of recoveries revenues as exchanges move to direct billing.
|
·
|
Revenues declined 3%. A 4% increase in Corporates revenues and flat revenues in Investment Banking were offset by weak performance in Investment Management which declined 8%.
|
·
|
Improving performance in Investment Management is a key objective of the recent reorganization of the Markets division.
|
·
|
Revenues grew 8% driven by the continuing trend among customers to invest in pricing and reference data, low-latency data feeds and hosting solutions.
|
·
|
The Enterprise Content business grew 16%, driven by growth in pricing and reference data. Omgeo’s revenues grew 12% due to higher equity volumes.
|
·
|
Thomson Reuters Elektron continued to gain momentum as customers in established and emerging markets adopted its combination of hosted and deployed information and trading solutions. In total, 14 data hosting centers are up and running.
|
·
|
Revenues were flat with a decline in the News Agency business offset by growth in the Consumer business.
|
·
|
The News Agency business decreased 1% due to the planned shutdown of the Agency’s studio business. The Consumer business was up 5% due to higher advertising sales in the Americas.

Thomson Reuters reorganized its reportable segments in the second quarter of 2011. The company’s four reportable segments are Legal, Tax & Accounting, Intellectual Property & Science and Markets. Prior-period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the current presentation.
|
(2)
|
Revenues from ongoing businesses are revenues from reportable segments (which excludes Other businesses (see note (3) below)) less eliminations.
|
(3)
|
Other businesses are businesses that have been or are expected to be exited through sale or closure that did not qualify for discontinued operations classification. Other businesses do not qualify as a component of the company’s four reportable segments, nor as a separate reportable segment.

Thomson Reuters defines adjusted EBITDA as underlying operating profit excluding the related depreciation and amortization of computer software but including integration programs expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
|
(5)
|
Underlying operating profit is operating profit from reportable segments and corporate expenses. Underlying operating profit margin is the underlying operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
|
(6)
|
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations include dividends declared on preference shares and integration programs expense, but exclude the pre-tax impacts of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as well as the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, other operating (gains) and losses, certain impairment charges, the results of Other businesses (see note (3) above), other finance (income) costs, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax (earnings) losses in equity method investees, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations is calculated using diluted weighted average shares and does not represent actual earnings per share attributable to shareholders.

|
Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective tax rate. Reported earnings for interim periods reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on full year income taxes.

In the second quarter of 2011, Thomson Reuters revised certain prior-period amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flow. Specifically, capital expenditures include only cash payments, whereas prior to the revision they also included accruals relating to capital expenditures. The revision had no impact on prior-periods’ increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents, financial position or results of operations.

Underlying free cash flow is free cash flow excluding one-time cash costs associated with integration programs.
|
(2)
|
Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, other investing activities and dividends paid on the company’s preference shares. Thomson Reuters uses free cash flow as a performance measure because it represents cash available to repay debt, pay dividends and fund share repurchases and new acquisitions.
|
(3)
|
There was no impact on free cash flow or underlying free cash flow as a result of the revision of prior-period amounts for “net cash provided by operating activities” and “capital expenditures, less proceeds from disposals.” See the “Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow” in this news release for additional information.
