|
Revenues from ongoing businesses were $3.2 billion, a 3% increase before currency.
|
●
|
Adjusted EBITDA was up slightly, and the corresponding margin was 28.0% versus 28.1% in the prior-year period as the elimination of integration expenses and higher revenues were offset by an anticipated increase in expenses in Financial & Risk related to planned investments in customer service and customer administration.
|
●
|
Underlying operating profit decreased 8% and the corresponding margin was 19.3% versus 21.2% in the prior-year period as higher revenues were offset by higher depreciation and amortization from investments made in prior periods and planned increases in expenses.
|
●
|
Adjusted EPS was $0.54 compared to $0.51 in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the elimination of integration expenses and a lower tax rate which were partly offset by lower underlying operating profit. Foreign exchange had a $0.01 negative impact on adjusted EPS.
|
●
|
Revenues increased 1%. Growth in Marketplaces and Governance, Risk & Compliance and from acquisitions was offset by declines in revenues from the Trading and Investors business units.
|
●
|
Recurring subscription-related revenues were flat. Transactions-related revenues increased 4%. Recoveries revenues increased 1% and Outright revenues declined 3%.
|
●
|
By geography, revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were flat, revenues in the Americas were up 3% while revenues in Asia declined 2%, primarily related to Japan.

|
●
|
Operating profit was $306 million, down 19%, with a related margin of 17.1%. The related margin decreased 340 basis points due to lower organic revenues, planned investments in customer service and customer administration and higher depreciation and amortization from product investments made in prior periods.
|
●
|
Eikon desktops totaled over 19,000 at the end of the second quarter, up approximately 20% from the end of the first quarter of 2012.
|
●
|
Revenues decreased 2% with growth in Commodities & Energy and Data Feeds businesses offset by desktop cancellations in Exchange Traded Instruments and Fixed Income.
|
●
|
Recoveries revenues increased 2%.
|
●
|
Revenues declined 1%. A 4% increase in Enterprise Content revenues was offset by a 5% decline in Investment Management revenues due to weakness in Europe and global banks.
|
●
|
Corporate revenues were up 2%. Wealth Management and Banking & Advisory (formerly Investment Banking) revenues were unchanged versus the prior-year period.
|
●
|
Revenues increased 6% (1% organic) driven by acquisitions and Tradeweb, which was up 24% (6% organic).
|
●
|
Foreign exchange-related revenues declined 1% due to lower transaction volumes compared to the prior-year period.
|
●
|
Revenues grew 56% (18% organic) to $52 million driven by acquisitions, new sales and strong demand for risk and compliance solutions.
|
●
|

|
·
|
Revenues increased 3%. US Law Firm Solutions grew 2% driven by a 17% increase in Business of Law revenues (FindLaw and Elite) while research-related revenues declined 2%. Corporate, Government and Academic revenues rose 5%. Global businesses grew 5%.
|
·
|
EBITDA was up slightly from the prior-year period and the associated margin decreased 60 basis points to 39.0% primarily due to a change in business mix.
|
·
|
Operating profit was flat and the associated margin was 30.7% compared to 31.1% in the prior-year period.
|
·
|
WestlawNext has been sold to approximately 69% of Westlaw’s revenue base as of the end of the second quarter 2012.

|
Revenues increased 25% (5% organic) driven by acquisitions and strong growth in revenues from the ONESOURCE platform and software sales to professional accounting firms.
|
●
