EXHIBIT 99.1

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

This management’s discussion and analysis is designed to provide you with a narrative explanation through the eyes of our management of our financial condition and results of operations. We recommend that you read this in conjunction with our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our 2015 annual consolidated financial statements and our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis. This management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our 2016 outlook and our expectations related to general economic conditions and market trends and their anticipated effects on our business segments. For additional information related to forward-looking statements and material risks associated with them, please see the “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” section of this management’s discussion and analysis. This management’s discussion and analysis is dated as of July 27, 2016.

We have organized our management’s discussion and analysis in the following key sections:


^•	Executive Summary – a brief overview of our business and key financial highlights	2

^•	Results of Operations – a comparison of our current and prior-year period results	5

^•	Liquidity and Capital Resources – a discussion of our cash flow and debt	15

^•	Outlook – our current financial outlook for 2016	20

^•	Related Party Transactions – a discussion of transactions with our principal and controlling shareholder, The Woodbridge Company Limited (Woodbridge), and others	22

^•	Subsequent Events – a discussion of material events occurring after June 30, 2016 and through the date of this management’s discussion and analysis	22

^•	Changes in Accounting Policies – a discussion of changes in our accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements	22

^•	Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments – a discussion of critical estimates and judgments made by our management in applying accounting policies	22

^•	Additional Information – other required disclosures	22

^•	Appendix – supplemental information and discussion	24

To help you understand this management’s discussion and analysis:

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This management’s discussion and analysis also includes certain non-IFRS financial measures which we use as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in Appendix A.

Our consolidated financial statements are reflected in U.S. dollars. References in this discussion to “$” and “US$” are to U.S. dollars. References to “bp” means “basis points” and “n/a” and “n/m” refer to “not applicable” and “not meaningful”, respectively. One basis point is equal to 1/100^th of 1%, so “100 bp” is equivalent to 1%. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this discussion to “we,” “our,” “us” and “Thomson Reuters” are to Thomson Reuters Corporation and our subsidiaries.

We refer to our performance before the impact of foreign currency (or at “constant currency”), which means that we apply the same foreign currency exchange rates for the current and equivalent prior period. We believe this provides the best basis to measure the performance of our business as it removes distortion from the effects of foreign currency movements during the period.

Ø	When we refer to “net sales” of a business, we are referring to its new sales less cancellations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our company

We are a leading source of news and information for professional markets. Our customers rely on us to deliver the intelligence, technology and expertise they need to find trusted answers. We have operated in more than 100 countries for more than 100 years.

Exponential growth in the volume of data, the impact of technology and an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment create challenges for our customers as well as opportunities for our businesses. We believe that the credibility of our news organization, our in-depth understanding of our customers’ needs, our proprietary content and flexible technology platforms all enable our customers to operate more efficiently, reduce costs and help them manage growing compliance requirements.

We derive the majority of our revenues from selling solutions to our customers, primarily electronically and on a subscription basis. We believe our ability to embed our solutions into customers’ workflows is a significant competitive advantage as it leads to strong customer retention. Over the years, this has proven to be capital efficient and cash flow generative, and it has enabled us to maintain leading and scalable positions in our chosen market segments.

We are organized in three business units supported by a corporate center:


		Financial & Risk, a provider of critical news, information and analytics, enabling transactions and connecting communities of trading, investment, financial and corporate professionals. Financial & Risk also provides regulatory and operational risk management solutions.

		Legal, a provider of critical online and print information, decision tools, software and services that support legal, investigation, business and government professionals around the world.

		Tax & Accounting, a provider of integrated tax compliance and accounting information, software and services for professionals in accounting firms, corporations, law firms and government.

We also operate:

^•

A Global Growth Organization (GGO), which works across our business units to combine our global capabilities and to expand our local presence and development in countries and regions where we believe the greatest growth opportunities exist. GGO supports our businesses in Latin America, China, India, the Middle East, Africa, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, North Asia, Russia and countries comprising the Commonwealth of Independent States and Turkey. We include the results of GGO within our business units.

^•

Reuters, which is a leading provider of real-time, high-impact, multimedia news and information services to newspapers, television and cable networks, radio stations and websites around the globe.

Discontinued operations:

In July 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Intellectual Property & Science business for $3.55 billion. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year following regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Intellectual Property & Science is a provider of comprehensive intellectual property and scientific information, decision support tools and services that enable the lifecycle of innovation for governments, academia, publishers, corporations and law firms to discover, protect and commercialize new ideas and brands.

Intellectual Property & Science is classified as a discontinued operation for 2016 reporting purposes. To facilitate a comparison with our 2016 results, prior-year period amounts in this management’s discussion and analysis have been restated to conform to the current period’s presentation. See the “Results of Discontinued Operations” and “Subsequent Events” sections of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Key Financial Highlights

Second quarter results from continuing operations:

Our second quarter results were slightly below the expectations we had at the beginning of the year, reflecting the challenges our customers are experiencing related to global economic uncertainty, particularly around the U.K.’s referendum to leave the European Union (Brexit). However, in July 2016, we reaffirmed our 2016 full-year business outlook, which reflected the resiliency of our core business and our confidence that our company is well positioned to take advantage of the global trends disrupting the industries we serve. Additionally, in the second quarter, several unrelated factors negatively impacted our performance, which included the following:

^•

In our Financial & Risk segment, expected declines in revenues due to lower recoveries and the impact of commercial pricing adjustments related to the migration of certain customers to new platforms were compounded by the macro-economic challenges affecting large European banks and several emerging markets;

^•

Our Legal segment performance reflected a slowdown in its transaction business; and

^•

Challenges within the Government business impacted the revenue growth and profitability of the Tax & Accounting segment.


IFRS Financial Measures (millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)	2016		2015		TOTAL CHANGE
Revenues		2,769		2,802		(1%)
Operating profit		401		345		16%
Diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS)		$0.39		$0.26		50%

Revenues: The decrease was due to the impact of foreign currency and lower revenues from recoveries.

Operating profit: The increase primarily reflected favorable fair value adjustments associated with foreign currency derivatives embedded within certain customer contracts.

Diluted EPS: The increase was driven by favorable fair value adjustments and the benefit of lower common shares outstanding.

(1)	Refer to Appendix A for additional information on non-IFRS financial measures.

In constant currency, our revenues were essentially unchanged, as combined growth of 1% from our Legal and Tax & Accounting businesses was offset by a 1% decline in Financial & Risk due to an expected decline in recoveries revenues. Excluding the decline in recoveries revenues, consolidated revenues grew 1% in constant currency over the prior-year period.

Results by line of business were as follows:

SECOND QUARTER 2016 REVENUES

^• Financial & Risk revenues declined 1%, driven by an expected decline in recoveries revenues and the impact of ongoing commercial pricing adjustments related to the migration of remaining foreign exchange and buy-side customers onto new products on Financial & Risk’s unified platform. Excluding these declines, Financial & Risk’s revenues grew approximately 2%. Performance was also impacted by macro-economic challenges in the financial markets.

^• Legal revenues increased 1%, slightly lower than expected, as growth in the Legal Solution subscriptions and U.S. online legal information businesses were partly offset by declines in transaction and U.S. print revenues.

^• Tax & Accounting revenues grew only 1% due to a decline in transaction revenues and challenges in its Government business, despite overall growth in recurring revenues of 7%.

In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA, underlying operating profit and the related margins decreased reflecting higher operating expenses, which fully impacted profitability as revenues were essentially unchanged in the quarter. In spite of the revenue challenges, we continued to invest in growth businesses and initiatives to transform our company into a more integrated enterprise. Adjusted EPS increased due to lower income tax expense and the benefit of lower outstanding common shares due to share repurchases. Additionally, we returned over $0.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

In 2016, we remain focused on executing on the following key priorities to accelerate growth and profitability:


		Accelerating Revenue Growth. We are using cost savings generated by our efficiency initiatives to fund and accelerate investments in high growth market segments, including Legal Software and Solutions, Global Trade Management, Global Tax and Risk Solutions. Additionally, we are deploying a common go-to-market strategy across our company to further improve customer retention and drive new sales.

		Improving profitability. We continue to transform our company from a portfolio of individual businesses into a more integrated enterprise through investments which drive scale, including further consolidation of platforms. We believe these efforts will grow revenues, expand margins and increase adjusted EPS.

		Consistent Capital Strategy. We continue to focus on growing revenues and free cash flow⁽¹⁾. This will allow us to execute our consistent capital strategy, which balances reinvestment in our core businesses with return of capital to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Additionally, we plan to use approximately $1.0 billion of the net proceeds from the sale of Intellectual Property & Science to buy back common shares and the balance to pay down debt (primarily commercial paper) and reinvest in the core business.

(1)	Refer to Appendix A for additional information on non-IFRS financial measures.

2016 Outlook:

We recently reaffirmed our 2016 full-year business outlook that we originally communicated in February 2016. For 2016, we continue to expect low single digit revenue growth (between 2% and 3% growth excluding Financial & Risk’s recoveries revenues), adjusted EBITDA margin between 27.3% and 28.3%, underlying operating profit margin between 18.4% and 19.4%, and free cash flow between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion.

Our 2016 outlook:

^•

Assumes constant currency rates relative to 2015;

^•

Excludes the Intellectual Property & Science business, which has been classified as a discontinued operation, except for free cash flow; and

^•

Does not factor in the impact of any other acquisitions or divestitures that may occur during the year.

Additional information is provided in the “Outlook” section of this management’s discussion and analysis. The information in this section is forward-looking and should also be read in conjunction with the section of this management’s discussion and analysis entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results”.

Seasonality

Our revenues and operating profit on a consolidated basis do not tend to be significantly impacted by seasonality as we record a large portion of our revenues ratably over a contract term and our costs are generally incurred evenly throughout the year. However, our non-recurring revenues can cause changes in our performance from quarter to consecutive quarter. Additionally, the release of certain print-based offerings can be seasonal as can certain product releases for the regulatory markets, which tend to be concentrated at the end of the year. Our quarterly performance may also be impacted by volatile foreign currency exchange rates. As a consequence, the results of certain of our segments can be impacted by seasonality to a greater extent than our consolidated revenues and operating profit.

Use of non-IFRS financial measures

In addition to our results reported in accordance with IFRS, we use certain non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position, as well as for internal planning purposes and our 2016 Outlook. We report non-IFRS financial measures as we believe their use provides more insight into and understanding of our performance. These non-IFRS financial measures include:

^•

Underlying operating profit and the related margin;

^•

Adjusted EBITDA and the related margin;

^•

Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and the related margin;

^•

Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS;

^•

Net debt; and

^•

Free cash flow.

Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at “constant currency”: In order to provide better comparability of our business trends from period to period, we also report changes in our revenues, underlying operating profit, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, margins and adjusted EPS excluding the effects of foreign currency movements.

See Appendix A of this management’s discussion and analysis for a description of our non-IFRS financial measures, including an explanation of why we believe they are useful measures of our performance, including our ability to generate cash flow. Refer to the sections of this management’s discussion and analysis entitled “Results of Operations-Continuing Operations”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Appendix B for reconciliations of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. We are unable to provide reconciliations for non-IFRS measures presented in our 2016 outlook. Refer to the “Outlook” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for further explanation. In addition, when we report our results for the third quarter of 2016, we plan to redefine adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS in relation to certain tax computations to better align these definitions with current market practices and to reflect guidance recently issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These changes have no impact on revenues, adjusted EBITDA, underlying operating profit or free cash flow. See Appendix C of this management’s discussion and analysis for further information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Basis of presentation

In this section of our management’s discussion and analysis, we discuss our results from continuing operations on both an IFRS and non-IFRS basis. Both bases exclude the results of our Intellectual Property & Science business, which is reported as a discontinued operation, and include the results of acquired businesses from the date of purchase. We discuss the results of our Intellectual Property & Science business within the “Results of Discontinued Operations” section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Foreign currency effects

With respect to the significant foreign currencies that we transact in, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the British pound sterling and the Canadian dollar, but weakened against the Japanese yen in the second quarter and six-month period of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. While the U.S. dollar weakened against the Euro in the second quarter of 2016, the relationship was essentially unchanged in the six-month period, compared to the same period in 2015. Given our currency mix of revenues and expenses around the world, these fluctuations had a negative impact on our revenues, but had a positive impact on our adjusted EBITDA and underlying operating profit margins in both periods.

Page 5

LOGO

Revenues

The decrease in revenues in both periods was due to the impact of foreign currency. In the second quarter, revenues were essentially unchanged on a constant currency basis as combined growth of 1% from our Legal and Tax & Accounting segments was offset by a 1% decline in our Financial & Risk segment, due to an expected decline in recoveries revenues. Excluding the decline in recoveries revenues, consolidated revenues grew 1% in constant currency over the prior-year period. In the six-month period, revenues increased 1% on a constant currency basis as combined growth of 2% from our Legal and Tax & Accounting segments was partially offset by a 1% decline in our Financial & Risk segment. Excluding the decline in recoveries revenues, consolidated revenues grew 2% in constant currency over the prior-year period.

Revenues from GGO, which comprised approximately 9% of our revenues in both the second quarter and six-month period, increased 2% in each period on a constant currency basis. Excluding the revenue declines due to lower recoveries revenues and the ongoing commercial pricing adjustments within our Financial & Risk segment, GGO revenues increased 5% in the second quarter and 6% in the six-month period on a constant currency basis.

(1)	See Appendix B for a reconciliation of earnings from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.

Operating profit increased in the second quarter primarily due to favorable fair value adjustments associated with embedded derivatives within certain customer contracts, which resulted from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Comparability was also impacted by a gain on the sale of the Fiduciary Services and Competitive Intelligence unit of Financial & Risk’s Lipper business (Lipper Services) in the prior-year period. Operating profit increased slightly in the six-month period as lower depreciation and amortization of software and other identifiable intangible assets more than offset unfavorable fair value adjustments and the prior-year period gain on the sale of Lipper Services.

In the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA, the related margin and underlying operating profit decreased while underlying operating profit margin was unchanged. On a constant currency basis, all these measures decreased reflecting higher operating expenses, which fully impacted profitability as revenues were essentially unchanged in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was unchanged in the six-month period as changes in revenues and operating expenses offset each other. The increases in underlying operating profit and the related margin were driven by lower depreciation and software amortization expense. Performance trends were similar on a constant currency basis in the six-month period, except for adjusted EBITDA margin, which increased, but declined on a constant currency basis.

Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and the related margin decreased in the second quarter due to lower adjusted EBITDA. In the six-month period, adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and the related margin increased due to lower capital expenditures, which were timing related.

Operating expenses, excluding fair value adjustments		2,012		2,031		(1%)		1%		4,057		4,118		(1%)		1%

(1)	Fair value adjustments primarily represent mark-to market impacts on embedded derivatives within certain customer contracts due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, as well as mark-to-market impacts on certain share-based awards, due to changes in our share price.

Operating expenses in the second quarter decreased largely due to the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on embedded derivatives. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses excluding fair value adjustments increased modestly. The increase reflected higher investments in growth businesses and initiatives to transform our company into a more integrated enterprise. These increases were partly offset by lower expenses in our Financial & Risk segment, which declined due to cost savings from earlier efficiency initiatives and lower costs related to the decline in recoveries revenues. In the six-month period, operating expenses excluding fair value adjustments declined slightly, but increased modestly in constant currency, due to the same factors that impacted the second quarter.

Amortization of other identifiable intangible assets		132		140		(6%)		260		280		(7%)

^•

Depreciation and amortization of computer software on a combined basis decreased in both periods due to the completion of depreciation and amortization of assets acquired or developed in previous years, partly offset by higher expenses associated with capital spending on product development, network and infrastructure initiatives. Foreign currency had no impact in the second quarter, but contributed 1% to the decrease in the six-month period.

^•

Amortization of other identifiable intangible assets decreased in both periods, primarily due to the completion of amortization for certain other identifiable intangible assets acquired in previous years and the impact of foreign currency.

The decrease in net interest expense in both periods was primarily due to lower interest on our term debt obligations, which reflected the repayment of notes in July 2015, partly offset by higher interest on commercial paper borrowings. The six-month period of 2016 also included an interest benefit associated with the release of certain sales tax liabilities. As substantially all of our long-term debt obligations paid interest at fixed rates (after swaps), the net interest expense on the balance of our term debt was essentially unchanged.

The tax expense in each period reflected the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were recognized. Because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year, tax expense or benefit in interim periods is not necessarily indicative of tax expense for the full year.

Additionally, the comparability of our tax expense was impacted by various transactions and accounting adjustments during each period. The following table sets forth certain components within income tax expense that impact comparability from period to period, including tax expense (benefit) associated with items that are removed from adjusted earnings:

The computation of our adjusted tax expense is set forth below:

(1)

Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective tax rate. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The non-IFRS adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on full-year income taxes.

(2)

In 2013, we recorded $442 million of deferred tax charges associated with the consolidation of the ownership and management of our technology and content assets. Within our tax expense on adjusted earnings, we have been amortizing these deferred charges on a straight-line basis over seven years as these charges are expected to be paid over that period from the date of the original transaction, in varying annual amounts, in conjunction with the repayments of interest-bearing notes that were issued as consideration in the original transactions.

In the second quarter, adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS increased primarily due to lower income tax expense. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS in the six-month period increased due to higher underlying operating profit, as well as lower interest and income tax expense. Both adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS included a positive impact from foreign currency, which amounted to $0.01 and $0.02 on a per share basis in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. Additionally, adjusted EPS in both periods benefited from lower outstanding common shares due to share repurchases (see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Share Repurchases” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information).

Segment results

We discuss the results of our three reportable segments as presented in our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016: Financial & Risk, Legal and Tax & Accounting. The operating results of Intellectual Property & Science, which was previously a reportable segment, are reported as a discontinued operation, except for the Westlaw IP business, which we will retain as part of the Legal segment. Prior-year period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation.

We also report “Corporate & Other”, which includes expenses for corporate functions, shared costs previously allocated to Intellectual Property & Science, and the results of the Reuters News business. Neither Corporate & Other nor the Reuters News business qualify as a component of another reportable segment nor as a separate reportable segment.

See note 3 of our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 which includes a reconciliation of results from our reportable segments to consolidated results as reported in our consolidated income statement.

We assess the performance of our reportable segments as follows:

Revenues

We present segment revenue growth at both actual foreign exchange rates and in constant currency. We assess revenue performance for each reportable segment, as well as the businesses within each segment, before the impact of currency (or at “constant currency”).

Segment operating profit and segment operating profit margin

^•

Segment operating profit represents operating profit before (i) amortization of other identifiable intangible assets; (ii) other operating gains and losses; (iii) certain asset impairment charges; (iv) corporate-related items; and (v) fair value adjustments.

^•

We do not consider these excluded items to be controllable operating activities for purposes of assessing the current performance of our reportable segments.

^•

Each segment includes an allocation of costs for centralized support services such as technology, editorial, real estate and certain global transaction processing functions based on usage or other applicable measures.

^•

We also use segment operating profit margin, which we define as segment operating profit as a percentage of revenues.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin

^•

As a supplemental measure of segment operating performance, we add back depreciation and amortization of computer software to segment operating profit to arrive at each segment’s EBITDA and the related margin as a percentage of revenues. See Appendix B of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Our definitions of segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin, EBITDA and EBITDA margin may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Revenues on a constant currency basis decreased in both periods which reflected the expected decline in recoveries revenues and commercial pricing adjustments related to the migration of remaining foreign exchange and buy-side customers onto new products on Financial & Risk’s unified platform. Financial & Risk expects to complete the remaining commercial price adjustments on its legacy foreign exchange products in the second half of the year. Excluding the decline in recoveries revenues and the impact of the commercial pricing adjustments, Financial & Risk’s revenues increased approximately 2% in each period due to the impact of positive net sales and Financial & Risk’s annual price increase.

Uncertainty following the referendum outcome supporting Brexit will likely create some short-term revenue headwinds for Financial & Risk, as customers assess the potential impact of the decision on their businesses. We also expect continued cost pressures to particularly impact the large European banks. We believe Financial & Risk is well positioned to support its customers as we have a scalable, global platform with operations in all major European money centers and because we provide critical information regarding regulatory changes. A key part of Financial & Risk’s value proposition has been to help customers lower their overall costs, particularly as the regulatory environment becomes more complex.

By geographic area, Financial & Risk’s second quarter revenues increased 1% (2% excluding recoveries) and 1% (3% excluding recoveries) in the Americas and Asia Pacific, respectively, while its revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) decreased 5% (2% decline excluding recoveries). For the six-month period, revenues increased 1% (2% excluding recoveries) and 2% (4% excluding recoveries) in the Americas and Asia Pacific, respectively, while its revenues in EMEA decreased 4% (2% decline excluding recoveries).

For the ninth consecutive quarter, net sales were positive overall despite the macro-economic challenges. In both periods, net sales were positive in the Americas and Asia, but negative in EMEA.

Results by type were as follows:

^• Subscription revenues were essentially unchanged in the second quarter and increased 1% in the six-month period as both periods reflected the benefit of the 2016 annual price increase and the impact of positive net sales, offset by the commercial pricing adjustments on Financial & Risk’s remaining legacy foreign exchange products. While desktop revenues declined 3% in the second quarter, the Feeds, Risk and other non-desktop revenues grew 4% collectively and are the areas where Financial & Risk is focusing its investments going forward;

^• Transactions revenues increased 1% in the second quarter due to higher trading volumes, and were essentially unchanged in the six-month period. While foreign exchange volatility increased around the end of the second quarter, including over $480 billion traded on Financial & Risk’s platforms on June 24th following the Brexit vote, volumes were muted in advance of the vote; and

^• Recoveries revenues, which Financial & Risk collects from customers and largely passes through to a third-party provider, such as stock exchange fees, decreased 17% and 16% in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively, as expected. In both periods, the decline in these low-margin revenues reflected a small number of third-party information providers increasingly moving to direct billing arrangements with their customers. We expect recoveries revenues will decrease by slightly less than $100 million for the full year, with the impact of the decline diminishing in the second half of the year. We do not expect an impact on Financial & Risk’s EBITDA and segment operating profit, or on our consolidated adjusted EBITDA, underlying operating profit and free cash flow, since the recoveries revenues that Financial & Risk collects from its customers are largely passed on to our third-party information providers.

SECOND QUARTER 2016 REVENUES BY TYPE

We expect the impacts of the commercial pricing adjustments and the recoveries revenues decline to have a more modest impact on revenue growth in the second half of the year. Accordingly, subject to unexpected variability in transactions revenues, we expect Financial & Risk to report positive revenue growth on a constant currency basis in the second half of the year.

EBITDA, segment operating profit and the related margins increased in both periods primarily due to lower expenses from earlier efficiency initiatives, including platform consolidations completed in 2015. Foreign exchange benefited EBITDA and segment operating profit margins each by 50bp in the second quarter and benefited EBITDA and segment operating profit margins by 50bp and 30bp, respectively, in the six-month period, compared to the prior-year periods. The increases in segment operating profit and the related margin in both periods also benefited from lower depreciation and amortization expense.

Revenues increased on a constant currency basis in the second quarter as 4% growth in subscription revenues (73% of Legal’s business) more than offset a 4% decline in transaction revenues (12% of Legal’s business) and an 8% decline in U.S. print revenues (15% of Legal’s business). Excluding U.S. print, Legal’s revenues increased 3%.

In the six-month period, revenues increased on a constant currency basis as 3% growth in subscription revenues more than offset a 2% decline in transaction revenues and a 6% decline in U.S. print revenues. Excluding U.S. print, Legal’s revenues increased 3%.

Results by line of business were as follows:

^• Solutions businesses revenues include non U.S. legal information and global software and services businesses. Solutions businesses revenues increased 3% in each of the second quarter and six-month period driven by growth in Legal Enterprise Solutions (Elite and Legal Tracker), U.K. Practical Law, Investigative & Public Records and businesses in Latin America, partly offset by a decline in Findlaw transaction revenues. Additionally, the second quarter included a decline in Legal Managed Services transaction revenues. We continue to expect the Solutions businesses to grow revenues in the mid-single digit range for the full year in 2016;

^• U.S. online legal information revenues increased 2% in each of the second quarter and six-month period due to growth in U.S. Practical Law and the impact of improved net sales and higher retention rates at Westlaw. This was the sixth consecutive quarter of positive growth for this business; and

^• U.S. print revenues decreased 8% and 6% in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. For the full year 2016, we expect the U.S. print business to decline at a comparable rate to 2015, which experienced a 6% decline.

SECOND QUARTER 2016 REVENUES

BY LINE OF BUSINESS

LOGO

In the second quarter, EBITDA, segment operating profit and the related margins decreased due to a challenging business mix and slightly higher compensation expense. Foreign exchange had no impact on EBITDA and segment operating profit margins, compared to the prior-year period. In the six-month period, EBITDA was essentially unchanged while segment operating profit increased slightly due to lower depreciation and amortization expense. The related margins increased due to the impact of foreign currency, which each benefited by 70bp, compared to the prior-year period.

Revenues increased on a constant currency basis in the second quarter driven by a 7% increase in recurring revenues (87% of our Tax & Accounting business), partly offset by a 23% decrease in transaction revenues primarily within the Corporate business. In the six-month period, revenues increased on a constant currency basis driven by a 9% increase in recurring revenues, partly offset by a 12% decrease in transaction revenues. The Government business, Tax & Accounting’s smallest unit, experienced delays of go-live dates on two significant projects, which resulted in reductions to revenue and additional expenses. We expect Tax & Accounting’s revenue growth to return to the mid-to-high single digit range for the second half of the year.


Results by line of business were as follows: ^• Corporate includes revenues from a suite of global and local tax compliance, workflow and data management software and services. Corporate revenues increased 1% in the second quarter and 9% in the six-month period. In both periods, growth in recurring revenues was partly offset by lower transaction revenues, which included lower discrete sales of indirect tax software solutions; ^• Professional includes revenues from tax, accounting, audit, payroll, document management, client portals and practice management applications and services. Professional revenues increased 7% and 6% in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively, primarily from the CS Professional Suite and Enterprise Suite solutions for accounting firms; ^• Knowledge Solutions includes revenues from information, research, workflow tools and certified professional education. Knowledge Solutions revenues were essentially unchanged in the second quarter and increased 1% in the six-month period, as growth in the U.S. Checkpoint business was offset by lower print revenues; and ^• Government includes revenues from integrated property tax management and land registry solutions. Government revenues, which represent a relatively small revenue base, decreased 32% and 16% in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively, due to delays associated with an extension of target completion dates for certain significant contracts. Revenues for the Government business are less predictable in nature, and growth rates can vary significantly from period to period.		SECOND QUARTER 2016 REVENUES BY LINE OF BUSINESS

EBITDA, segment operating profit and the related margins decreased in both periods primarily driven by higher expenses, which included charges related to certain long-term contracts in Tax & Accounting’s Government business and higher investments in growth businesses. Additionally, the six-month period results reflected higher 2016 severance charges and a difficult comparable to the prior-year period, which benefited from lower than expected bonus and commission costs. Both of these items offset the impact of higher revenues. Foreign exchange benefited EBITDA and segment operating profit margins by 120bp and 60bp, respectively, in the second quarter and benefited EBITDA and segment operating profit margins by 120bp and 110bp, respectively, in the six-month period, compared to the prior-year periods.

We expect that full year margins for our Tax Accounting business will be 100bp to 200bp lower than the prior year, on a constant currency basis, as we will need to incur additional expenses in the Government business to mitigate future project delays.

Tax & Accounting is a seasonal business with a significant percentage of its operating profit historically generated in the fourth quarter. Small movements in the timing of revenues and expenses can impact quarterly margins. Full-year margins are more reflective of the segment’s performance.

Revenues from Reuters News increased in both periods, which reflected increases across most businesses, including content marketing and broadcast solutions. Foreign currency had no impact on revenues in the second quarter and a 1% unfavorable impact on revenues in the six-month period.

The increase in core corporate expenses in both periods was primarily due to investment initiatives, primarily technology related, as part of our ongoing initiatives to transform our company into a more integrated enterprise. For the full year, we expect core corporate expenses to be in the range of $375 million to $400 million.

RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In July 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Intellectual Property & Science business. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year. We are selling our Intellectual Property & Science business in order to focus on opportunities at the intersection of global commerce and regulation. See the “Subsequent Events” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Intellectual Property & Science is reported as a discontinued operation, and prior-year period results have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation. Intellectual Property & Science reported the following results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

(millions of U.S. dollars)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax		46		55		108		95

The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to higher expenses, including income tax expense, which more than offset higher revenues, which increased 2%. The increase in the six-month period was due to higher revenues, which grew 3%, as total expenses, including income tax expense, were essentially unchanged compared to the prior-year period.

OTHER INFORMATION

2017 Adjusted Earnings Per Share Objective

At our 2014 Investor Day, we communicated an objective to achieve adjusted EPS of $2.80 in 2017. Since that time, three factors have arisen that will impact our ability to achieve that original target.

^•

First, changes in foreign currency exchange rates over the last two years negatively impacted our adjusted EPS by $0.23. Future changes in foreign currency exchange rates may continue to impact our adjusted EPS.

^•

Second, we expect the loss of earnings from the sale of Intellectual Property & Science will reduce adjusted EPS by $0.27. Of this amount, we plan to recover $0.14 through our expected use of the net proceeds for additional share buybacks and repayment of debt. Overall, this results in a net negative impact of $0.13.

^•

Third, we estimate a negative impact of $0.08-$0.10 due to the revision of certain tax computations within our definition of non-IFRS measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS. Refer to Appendix C of this management’s discussion and analysis for further information.

As a result of these factors, our objective for 2017 adjusted EPS, based on current estimates, is now approximately $2.35.

Page 14

LOGO

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our disciplined capital strategy is aligned with our business strategy and remains focused on:

^•

Driving revenue growth from our existing businesses, rather than from acquisitions;

^•

Delivering consistent free cash flow growth;

^•

Balancing cash generated between reinvestment in the business and returns to shareholders; and

^•

Maintaining a strong balance sheet, solid credit ratings and ample financial flexibility to support the execution of our business strategy.

In July 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Intellectual Property & Science business for $3.55 billion. Our preliminary estimate of net proceeds is approximately $3.1 billion to $3.2 billion, after deducting taxes and transaction costs. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year. We intend to use approximately $1.0 billion of the net proceeds to repurchase common shares as part of our $1.5 billion share buyback program and the remaining portion to repay debt (primarily commercial paper) and reinvest in the business. We plan to utilize sale proceeds in a manner that will enable us to continue to maintain our net debt to EBITDA⁽¹⁾ leverage target of 2.5:1.

(1)	For purposes of this calculation, EBITDA is defined as adjusted EBITDA including the results of Intellectual Property & Science.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by our operations, our $2.0 billion commercial paper programs and our $2.5 billion credit facility. From time to time, we also issue debt securities. Our principal uses of cash are for debt repayments, debt servicing costs, dividend payments, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our expected cash requirements in the normal course of business for the next 12 months.

Operating activities. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was primarily due to unfavorable timing of working capital movements. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the six-month period was primarily due to lower tax payments.

Investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in the second quarter and six-month period was attributable to higher acquisition spending. Comparability was also impacted by the proceeds we received in 2015 from the sale of our Lipper Services business. Additionally, the six-month period reflected lower capital expenditures in 2016 due to timing. In the second quarter of 2016, acquisition spending was $65 million compared to $7 million in the prior-year period. In the six-month period of 2016, acquisition spending was $111 million compared to $15 million in the prior-year period.

Financing activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in the second quarter was attributable to movements in the amount of commercial paper borrowings partly offset by lower share repurchases. In the second quarter of 2016, we repaid $138 million of commercial paper compared to the prior-year period when we received $170 million of proceeds from commercial paper issuances. In the six-month period, the increase in net cash used in financing activities compared to 2015 was due to lower proceeds from commercial paper issuances. We returned $0.5 billion (2015 – $0.6 billion) and $1.2 billion (2015 – $1.2 billion) to our common shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively.

Page 15

LOGO

Additional information about our debt, dividends and share repurchases is as follows:

^•

Commercial paper programs. Our $2.0 billion commercial paper programs provide cost-effective and flexible short-term funding. Issuances of commercial paper reached a peak of $1.7 billion during the six-month period of 2016, of which $1.3 billion was outstanding at June 30, 2016.

^•

Credit facility. We have a $2.5 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in May 2018. The facility may be utilized to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes (including support for our commercial paper programs). There were no borrowings under the credit facility during the six-month period of 2016. We may request an increase, subject to approval by applicable lenders, in the lenders’ commitments up to a maximum amount of $3.0 billion.

Based on our current credit ratings, the cost of borrowing under the agreement is priced at LIBOR/EURIBOR plus 100 basis points. If our long-term debt rating were downgraded by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, our facility fee and borrowing costs may increase, although availability would be unaffected. Conversely, an upgrade in our ratings may reduce our facility fee and borrowing costs. We monitor the lenders that are party to our facility and believe they continue to be able to lend to us.

We guarantee borrowings by our subsidiaries under the credit facility. We must also maintain a ratio of net debt as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other modifications described in the credit agreement) for the last four quarters ended of not more than 4.5:1. We were in compliance with this covenant at June 30, 2016.

^•

Debt shelf prospectus. In March 2016, we filed a debt shelf prospectus under which we may issue up to $3.0 billion principal amount of debt securities from time to time through April 2018. We have issued $0.5 billion principal amount of debt securities under the prospectus.

^•

Long-term debt. The following table provides information regarding notes that we issued and repaid in the six months ended June 30, 2016:


MONTH/YEAR	TRANSACTION	PRINCIPAL AMOUNT (IN MILLIONS)
	Notes issued
May 2016	3.35% Notes, due 2026	US$500
	Notes repaid
May 2016	0.875% Notes, due 2016	US$500

We used the net proceeds of our May 2016 debt issuance to repay the notes which matured that month.

Credit ratings. Our access to financing depends on, among other things, suitable market conditions and the maintenance of suitable long-term credit ratings. Our credit ratings may be adversely affected by various factors, including increased debt levels, decreased earnings, declines in customer demand, increased competition, a further deterioration in general economic and business conditions and adverse publicity. Any downgrades in our credit ratings may impede our access to the debt markets or result in significantly higher borrowing rates.

The following table sets forth the credit ratings that we have received from rating agencies in respect of our outstanding securities as of the date of this management’s discussion and analysis:



	MOODY’S	STANDARD & POOR’S	DBRS LIMITED	FITCH
Long-term debt	Baa2	BBB+	BBB (high)	BBB+
Commercial paper	P-2	A-2	R-2 (high)	F2
Trend/Outlook	Stable	Stable	Stable	Stable

These credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities and do not address the market price or suitability of a specific security for a particular investor. Credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks on the value of securities. We cannot assure you that our credit ratings will not be lowered in the future or that rating agencies will not issue adverse commentaries regarding our securities.

Share repurchases. We may buy back shares (and subsequently cancel them) from time to time as part of our capital strategy. In February 2016, we announced that we plan to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common shares. As of June 30, 2016, we repurchased 13.3 million common shares for a cost of $517 million under this buyback program.

In May 2016, we renewed our current normal course issuer bid (NCIB) for an additional 12 months. Under the renewed NCIB, we may repurchase up to 37.5 million common shares between May 30, 2016 and May 29, 2017 in open market transactions on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or NYSE or under applicable law, including private agreement purchases if we receive an issuer bid exemption order from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for such purchases. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we privately repurchased 3.0 million common shares at a discount to the then-prevailing market price.

Decisions regarding any future repurchases will be based on the timing of the closing of the sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business in addition to other factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. We may elect to suspend or discontinue our share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws. From time to time when we do not possess material nonpublic information about ourselves or our securities, we may enter into a pre-defined plan with our broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when we ordinarily would not be active in the market due to our own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered into with our broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We entered into such plans with our broker on June 30, 2016 and on December 31, 2015. As a result, we recorded a $140 million liability in “Other financial liabilities” within current liabilities at June 30, 2016 ($165 million at December 31, 2015) with a corresponding amount recorded in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position in both periods.

LOGO

Free cash flow decreased in the second quarter driven by lower cash from operating activities, primarily due to timing of working capital. Free cash flow increased in the six-month period primarily due to higher cash from operating activities, as well as lower capital expenditures, which was timing related.

Financial position

Our total assets were $28.6 billion at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.5 billion from December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to changes in foreign currency, depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of computer software and other identifiable intangible assets. These decreases were partially offset by capital expenditures.

As at June 30, 2016, the carrying amounts of our total current liabilities exceeded the carrying amounts of our total current assets principally because current liabilities include deferred revenue, which arises from the sale of information and services delivered electronically on a subscription basis, for which many customers pay in advance. The cash received from these advance payments is used to currently fund the operating, investing and financing activities of our business. However, for accounting purposes, these advance payments must be deferred and recognized over the term of the subscription. As such, we typically reflect a negative working capital position in our consolidated statement of financial position. In the ordinary course of business, deferred revenue does not represent a cash obligation, but rather an obligation to perform services or deliver products. Therefore, we believe that our negative working capital position as at June 30, 2016 was not indicative of a liquidity issue, but rather an outcome of the required accounting for our business model.

(1)	Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure, which we define in Appendix A.

(2)	Represents the interest-related fair value component of hedging instruments that are removed to reflect net cash outflow upon maturity.

(3)

Includes cash and cash equivalents of $108 million and $106 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, held in subsidiaries which have regulatory restrictions, contractual restrictions or operate in countries where exchange controls and other legal restrictions apply and are therefore not available for general use by our company.

The maturity dates for our debt are well balanced with no significant concentration in any one year. Our next scheduled term debt maturity occurs in February 2017. At June 30, 2016, the average maturity of our term debt was approximately eight years at an average interest rate (after swaps) of less than 5%.

Additional information

^•

We monitor the financial strength of financial institutions with which we have banking and other commercial relationships, including those that hold our cash and cash equivalents, as well as those which are counterparties to derivative financial instruments and other arrangements; and

^•

We expect to continue to have access to funds held by our subsidiaries outside the U.S. in a tax efficient manner to meet our liquidity requirements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations

For a summary of our other off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations, please see our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis. There were no material changes to these arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Contingencies

Lawsuits and legal claims

We are engaged in various legal proceedings, claims, audits and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, antitrust/competition claims, intellectual property infringement claims, employment matters and commercial matters. The outcome of all of the matters against us is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information currently known to us and after consultation with outside legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition taken as a whole.

Uncertain tax positions

We are subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions and we are routinely under audit by many different taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business. There are many transactions and calculations during the course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, as taxing authorities may challenge some of our positions and propose adjustments or changes to our tax filings.

As a result, we maintain provisions for uncertain tax positions that we believe appropriately reflect our risk. These provisions are made using our best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. We review the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjust them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax audits, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from such audits or related litigation could vary significantly from our provisions. However, based on currently enacted legislation, information currently known to us and after consultation with outside tax advisors, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition taken as a whole.

In June 2016, certain of our U.S. subsidiaries received a statutory notice of deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. In the notice, the IRS claims that the taxable income of these subsidiaries should be increased by an amount that creates an aggregate potential additional income tax liability of approximately $250 million for the period, including interest. The IRS claim relates to our intercompany transfer pricing practices. Management believes that we will prevail in this dispute. We plan to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matter.

For additional information, please see the “Risk Factors” section of our 2015 annual report, which contains further information on risks related to tax matters.

OUTLOOK

The information in this section is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with the section below entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results”.

We recently reaffirmed our business outlook for 2016 that was first communicated in February.

Our 2016 outlook:

^•

Assumes constant currency rates relative to 2015;

^•

Excludes the Intellectual Property & Science business, which has been classified as a discontinued operation, except for free cash flow; and

^•

Does not factor in the impact of any other acquisitions or divestitures that may occur during the year.

The following table sets forth our current 2016 financial outlook, the material assumptions related to our financial outlook and the material risks that may cause actual performance to differ materially from our current expectations.


REVENUES TO GROW LOW SINGLE DIGITS REVENUES, EXCLUDING FINANCIAL & RISK’S RECOVERIES REVENUES TO GROW 2% TO 3%
Material assumptions		Material risks
^• Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in most of the countries where we operate ^• Continued increase in the number of professionals around the world and their demand for high quality information and workflow solutions ^• The successful execution of sales initiatives, ongoing product release programs and our globalization strategy ^• The sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business in the second half of 2016		^• Uneven economic growth, recession or volatile currency movements across the markets we serve may result in reduced spending levels by our customers ^• Demand for our products and services could be reduced by changes in customer buying patterns, competitive pressures or our inability to execute on key product or customer support initiatives ^• Implementation of regulatory reform around the world, including financial services laws, may limit business opportunities for our customers, lowering their demand for our products and services ^• Pressure on our customers, in developed markets in particular, may constrain the number of professionals employed due to regulatory and economic uncertainty ^• Competitive pricing actions could impact our revenues ^• Price adjustments related to the migration of remaining Financial & Risk customers onto new products on its unified platform could be more severe or last longer than expected ^• Global market conditions could depress transaction volumes in our Financial & Risk business ^• The closing of the sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business takes longer than we expect

UNDERLYING OPERATING PROFIT MARGIN EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 18.4% AND 19.4%
Material assumptions		Material risks
^• Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to be between 27.3% and 28.3% ^• Depreciation and software amortization expense expected to be approximately 9% of revenues ^• Capital expenditures expected to be approximately 8% of revenues ^• The sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business in the second half of 2016		^• Refer to the risks above related to adjusted EBITDA margin outlook ^• Capital expenditures may be higher than currently expected, resulting in higher in-period depreciation and amortization ^• Obsolescence of technology may require accelerated amortization or impairment of certain assets ^• The closing of the sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business takes longer than we expect; our estimates regarding the elimination of shared costs may be inaccurate
FREE CASH FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN $1.7 BILLION AND $1.9 BILLION
Material assumptions		Material risks

^• Revenues, excluding Financial & Risk’s recoveries revenues, expected to grow 2% to 3% ^• Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to be between 27.3% and 28.3% ^• Capital expenditures expected to be approximately 8% of revenues ^• The sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business in the second half of 2016 and our estimates regarding cash flows to be eliminated		^• Refer to the risks above related to the revenue outlook and adjusted EBITDA margin outlook ^• A weaker macroeconomic environment could negatively impact working capital performance ^• Capital expenditures may be higher than currently expected resulting in higher cash outflows ^• The timing and amount of tax payments to governments may differ from our expectations ^• The closing of the sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business takes longer than we expect; our estimates regarding cash flows to be eliminated may be inaccurate

Additionally, in 2016, we expect interest expense to be between $420 million and $460 million. We expect our 2016 effective tax rate (as a percentage of post-amortization adjusted earnings) to be between 10% and 13%, assuming no material changes in current tax laws or treaties to which we are subject.

Our Outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. For outlook purposes only, we are unable to reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most comparable IFRS measures because we cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the 2016 impact of changes in foreign exchange rates or the company’s share price which impact (i) the translation of our results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year, (ii) fair value adjustments associated with foreign currency derivatives embedded in certain customer contracts, (iii) the valuation of certain share-based awards and (iv) other finance income or expense related to foreign exchange contracts and intercompany financing arrangements. Additionally, we cannot reasonably predict the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses, which generally arise from business transactions we do not anticipate.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of July 27, 2016, Woodbridge beneficially owned approximately 61% of our shares.

In January 2016, we sold a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge for $16 million. The subsidiary’s assets consisted of accumulated losses that management did not expect to utilize against future taxable income prior to their expiry. As such, no tax benefit for the losses had been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Under Canadian law, certain losses may only be transferred to related companies, such as those affiliated with Woodbridge. We recorded a gain of $16 million within “Other operating gains, net” within the consolidated income statement. In connection with this transaction, our board of directors’ Corporate Governance Committee obtained an independent fairness opinion. We utilized the independent fairness opinion to determine that the negotiated price between us and the purchaser was reasonable. After receiving the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the board of directors approved the transaction. Directors who were not considered independent because of their positions with Woodbridge refrained from deliberating and voting on the matter at both the committee and board meetings.

Except for the above transaction, there were no new significant related party transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Please refer to the “Related Party Transactions” section of our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2015 annual report, as well as note 29 of our 2015 annual consolidated financial statements for information regarding related party transactions.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Please refer to the “Changes in Accounting Policies” section of our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2015 annual report, as well as notes 1 and 2 of our consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016, for information regarding changes in accounting policies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments about the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Please refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” section of our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2015 annual report, for additional information. Since the date of our 2015 annual management’s discussion and analysis, there have not been any significant changes to our critical accounting estimates and judgments.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in applicable U.S. and Canadian securities law) as of the end of the period covered by this management’s discussion and analysis, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that all information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or furnish under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities law is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

We are engaged in the following long-term efficiency initiatives which impact our financial reporting:

^•

We are enhancing our order-to-cash (OTC) applications and related workflow processes in phases over multiple years. Key elements of the OTC solutions are order management, billing, cash management and collections functionality. We expect to reduce the number of applications and to streamline processes across our organization through this initiative.

^•

We are automating manual processes and updating workflows associated with intercompany revenue and cost allocation.

As we are implementing these initiatives in phases over an extended period, the nature and extent of activity will vary by quarter. In certain quarters, we may have limited or no activity.

As these initiatives could result in material changes to our internal control over financial reporting depending on the nature and volume of work completed, we will continue to modify the design and documentation of the related internal control processes and procedures, as necessary. Except as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter of 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Share capital

As of July 27, 2016, we had outstanding 745,613,499 common shares, 6,000,000 Series II preference shares, 10,651,697 stock options and a total of 7,485,141 time-based restricted share units and performance restricted share units. We have also issued a Thomson Reuters Founders Share which enables Thomson Reuters Founders Share Company to exercise extraordinary voting power to safeguard the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

Public securities filings and regulatory announcements

You may access other information about our company, including our 2015 annual report (which contains information required in an annual information form) and our other disclosure documents, reports, statements or other information that we file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities through SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the United States with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Cautionary note concerning factors that may affect future results

Certain statements in this management’s discussion and analysis are forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements about our 2016 expectations in the “Overview” and “Outlook” sections and statements regarding timing, the estimated amount of, and the use of net proceeds from a sale of our Intellectual Property & Science business, our view regarding the resolution of a tax matter with the IRS, our expectation of 2016 core corporate expenses, 2017 adjusted EPS, and 2016 opportunities and challenges for our business segments (notably, statements regarding Financial & Risk’s total revenue growth, commercial pricing adjustments, recoveries revenues and its impact on EBITDA and segment operating profit, as well as on consolidated adjusted EBITDA, underlying operating profit and free cash flow, the Legal segment’s Solutions and U.S. print revenue performance, and the Tax & Accounting segment’s revenues and margins). The words “expect”, “target” and “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and reflect our company’s current expectations. As a result, forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Certain factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations are discussed in the “Outlook” section above. Additional factors are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2015 annual report and in materials that we from time to time file with, or furnish to, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There is no assurance that any forward-looking statement will materialize. Our outlook is provided for the purpose of providing information about current expectations for 2016. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our expectations only as of the date of this management’s discussion and analysis. Except as may be required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

APPENDIX A

Non-IFRS financial measures

We use non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position. Additionally, we use non-IFRS measures as performance metrics as the basis for management incentive programs. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies. Except for free cash flow, all our non-IFRS measures exclude the results of our Intellectual Property & Science business, which is reported as a discontinued operation.

The following table sets forth our non-IFRS financial measures, including an explanation of why we believe they are useful measures of our performance. Reconciliations for the most directly comparable IFRS measure are reflected in our management’s discussion and analysis. When we report our results for the third quarter of 2016, we plan to redefine adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS relating to certain tax computations to better align these definitions with current market practices and to reflect guidance recently issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Please see Appendix C to this management’s discussion and analysis for further information.


HOW WE DEFINE IT	WHY WE USE IT AND WHY IT IS USEFUL TO INVESTORS	MOST DIRECTLY COMPARABLE IFRS MEASURE / RECONCILIATION
Underlying operating profit and the related margin
Operating profit from reportable segments and Corporate & Other. The related margin is expressed as a percentage of revenues.	Provides a basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends, excluding the impact of items which distort the performance of our operations.	Operating profit
Adjusted EBITDA and the related margin
Underlying operating profit excluding the related depreciation and amortization of computer software. The related margin is expressed as a percentage of revenues.	Provides a measure commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator of a company’s operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric.	Earnings (loss) from continuing operations
Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and the related margin
Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, less proceeds from disposals. The related margin is expressed as a percentage of revenues.	Provides a basis for evaluating the operating profitability and capital intensity of a business in a single measure. This measure captures investments regardless of whether they are expensed or capitalized.	Earnings (loss) from continuing operations
Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS
Earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders and per share: ^• excluding the pre-tax impacts of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets; and ^• the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, other operating gains and losses, certain impairment charges, other net finance costs or income, our share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. ^• We also deduct dividends declared on preference shares; and	Provides a more comparable basis to analyze earnings and is also a measure commonly used by shareholders to measure our performance.	Earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders
amortization of the tax charges associated with the consolidation of ownership and management of technology and content assets. For the non-IFRS measure, the majority of the charges are amortized over seven years, the period over which the tax is expected to be paid. Adjusted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average shares.	We believe this treatment more accurately reflects our tax position because the tax liability is associated with ongoing tax implications from the consolidation of these assets.

Page 24

LOGO


HOW WE DEFINE IT	WHY WE USE IT AND WHY IT IS USEFUL TO INVESTORS	MOST DIRECTLY COMPARABLE IFRS MEASURE / RECONCILIATION
Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (continued)
In interim periods, we also adjust our reported earnings and earnings per share to reflect a normalized effective tax rate. Specifically, the normalized effective rate is computed as the estimated full-year effective tax rate applied to pre-tax adjusted earnings of the interim period. The reported effective tax rate is based on separate annual effective income tax rates for each taxing jurisdiction that are applied to each interim period’s pre-tax income.	Because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year, our effective tax rate computed in accordance with IFRS may be more volatile by quarter. Therefore, we believe that using the expected full-year effective tax rate provides more comparability among interim periods. The adjustment to normalize the effective tax rate reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on full-year tax expense or on cash taxes paid.
Net debt
Total indebtedness, including the associated fair value of hedging instruments, but excluding the associated unamortized transaction costs and premiums or discounts and the interest-related fair value component of hedging instruments, less cash and cash equivalents.	Provides a commonly used measure of a company’s leverage. Given that we hedge some of our debt to reduce risk, we include hedging instruments as we believe it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with our outstanding debt. However, because we intend to hold our debt and related hedges to maturity, we do not consider the interest components of the associated fair value of hedges in our measurements. We reduce gross indebtedness by cash and cash equivalents.	Total debt (current indebtedness plus long-term indebtedness)
Free cash flow (includes free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations)
Net cash provided by operating activities, and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, dividends paid on our preference shares, and dividends paid to non-controlling interests.	Helps assess our ability, over the long term, to create value for our shareholders as it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common dividends and fund share repurchases and new acquisitions.	Net cash provided by operating activities
Changes before the impact of foreign currency or at “constant currency”
Applicable measures where changes are reported before the impact of foreign currency or at “constant currency” IFRS Measures: ^• Revenues ^• Operating expenses Non-IFRS Measures: ^• Underlying operating profit ^• Underlying operating profit margin ^• Adjusted EBITDA ^• Adjusted EBITDA margin ^• Adjusted EPS	Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, we conduct a significant amount of our activities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We measure our performance before the impact of foreign currency (or at “constant currency”), which means that we apply the same foreign currency exchange rates for the current and equivalent prior period. To calculate the foreign currency impact between periods, we convert the current and equivalent prior period’s local currency results using the same foreign currency exchange rate.	For each non-IFRS measure, refer to the definitions above for most directly comparable IFRS measure.

APPENDIX C

Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS

When we report our results for the third quarter of 2016, we plan to redefine adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS relating to certain tax computations to better align these definitions with current market practices and to reflect guidance recently issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These changes will not impact revenue, adjusted EBITDA, underlying operating profit or free cash flow.

Our modified definitions of adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS will reflect the following changes:

^•

Tax effect of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets – we will remove the post-tax impact of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets. We previously removed the amortization of other identifiable intangible assets on a pre-tax basis.

^•

Tax charge amortization – we will no longer amortize the tax charge generated from our 2013 sale of technology and content assets to a related subsidiary over seven years.

To illustrate the impact of these changes, we have set forth below reconciliations from earnings attributable to common shareholders to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS as currently defined and on a redefined basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Revenues — In all periods, the revenue declines were attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency.

On a constant currency basis, revenues for all quarters grew by low single digits as combined growth from our Legal and Tax & Accounting segments was offset by our Financial & Risk segment. Financial & Risk’s revenue performance declined slightly in the first and second quarters of 2016, and was essentially unchanged for each remaining quarter. Financial & Risk’s revenue performance over all periods reflected the positive impacts of improving net sales and annual price increases balanced against declines in recoveries revenues and the negative impact of commercial pricing adjustments associated with the migration of certain customers to new products. Acquisitions did not have a meaningful impact on revenue performance over the last four quarters.

Operating profit — Operating profit increased in the second quarter of 2016, and decreased in the first quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015. The changes in operating profit in each of these quarters was primarily due to the impact of fair value adjustments associated with foreign currency embedded derivatives in certain customer contracts. Fair value adjustments were favorable in the second quarter of 2016, but unfavorable in the first quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015. The significant decrease in operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $931 million gain recorded in the prior-year period from the release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments from shareholders’ equity. The gain was triggered by the loss of control of a subsidiary, which involved the settlement of an intercompany loan that had been considered permanent.

Net earnings — Net earnings increased in the second quarter of 2016 due to higher operating profit, but declined in the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 due to lower operating profit, as discussed above. Net earnings increased in the third quarter of 2015, despite lower operating profit, due to lower net financing costs and income tax expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars)

Note 1: Business description and basis of preparation

General business description

Thomson Reuters Corporation (the “Company” or “Thomson Reuters”) is an Ontario, Canada corporation with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Series II preference shares listed on the TSX. The Company is a major source of news and information for professional markets, operating in more than 100 countries.

Basis of preparation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as described below. The interim financial statements are in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements have been set out in note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the Company’s 2015 annual report.

In July 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Intellectual Property & Science business. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year following regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. See note 20. Intellectual Property & Science is reported as a discontinued operation. Prior-year period amounts have been restated to conform to the current period’s presentation, as prescribed by IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

The accompanying interim financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

References to “$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars.

Changes in accounting policy

In April 2016, the IFRS Interpretations Committee issued an agenda decision regarding the treatment of offsetting and cash-pooling arrangements in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. This decision provided additional guidance regarding when bank overdrafts in cash-pooling arrangements would meet the requirements for offsetting in accordance with IAS 32. Following this additional guidance, the Company changed its accounting policy and revised the amounts of cash and cash equivalents and current indebtedness in the consolidated statement of financial position and cash and cash equivalents and bank overdrafts in the consolidated statement of cash flow. The impact was as follows:

^•

cash and cash equivalents and current indebtedness increased $40 million in equal and offsetting amounts in the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2015; and

^•

cash and cash equivalents and bank overdrafts increased $162 million in equal and offsetting amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flow in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Note 2: Recent accounting pronouncements

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from the discussion below.

Page 37

LOGO

Pronouncements effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018:


IFRS 15	Revenue from Contracts with Customers	IFRS 15 is the culmination of a joint project between the IASB and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the accounting standard setter in the U.S., to create a single revenue standard. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an earnings process to an approach that is based on transfer of control of a good or service to a customer. Additionally, the new standard requires disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company continues to assess the impact of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements and expects to provide more information in connection with its year-end reporting.
IFRS 9	Financial Instruments	IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard addresses classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.
		Classification and measurement The new standard requires the classification of financial assets based on business model and cash flow characteristics measured at either (a) amortized cost; (b) fair value through profit or loss; or (c) fair value through other comprehensive income. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements, but where the fair value option is taken, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement.
		Impairment Under the forward looking impairment model, expected credit losses are recognized as soon as a financial asset is originated or purchased, rather than waiting for a trigger event to record a loss.
		Hedge accounting The new standard more closely aligns hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. Specifically, the new standard (a) no longer requires the use of a specific quantitative threshold to determine if the hedging relationship is highly effective in order to qualify for hedge accounting; (b) removes restrictions that prevented some economically rational hedging strategies from qualifying for hedge accounting; and (c) allows purchased options, forwards and non-derivative financial instruments to be hedging instruments in applicable circumstances.
		IFRS 9 shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented, subject to the various transition provisions within IFRS 9. The Company is assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 2	Share-based Payment	IFRS 2, Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions, was amended to clarify the accounting for (a) the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments (b) share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations and (c) a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application is permitted, but not required. Upon adoption, the Company expects to reclassify certain withholding tax obligations for share-based payments from liabilities to equity and therefore will no longer mark-to-market these or similar instruments awarded in the future. For reference, operating expenses included $3 million of income from mark-to-market adjustments in the year ended December 31, 2015 and $13 million of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company expects that a portion of these amounts would no longer be required once the amendment is adopted.

Pronouncement effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019:


IFRS 16		Leases		IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for leases. The standard requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position for almost all leases having a term of more than 12 months. Early application is permitted as long as IFRS 15 has already been applied. The Company is assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Segment information

The Company is organized as three reportable segments reflecting how the businesses are managed: Financial & Risk, Legal and Tax & Accounting. The accounting policies applied by the segments are the same as those applied by the Company. The reportable segments offer products and services to target markets as described below.

Results from the Reuters News business are excluded from reportable segments as they do not qualify as a component of the Company’s three reportable segments, nor as a separate reportable segment. The operating results of Intellectual Property & Science, which was previously a reportable segment, are reported as a discontinued operation (see note 10), except for the Westlaw IP business, which the Company will retain as part of the Legal segment. Prior-year period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Financial & Risk

The Financial & Risk segment is a provider of critical news, information and analytics, enabling transactions and connecting communities of trading, investment, financial and corporate professionals. Financial & Risk also provides regulatory and operational risk management solutions.

Legal

The Legal segment is a provider of critical online and print information, decision tools, software and services that support legal, investigation, business and government professionals around the world.

Tax & Accounting

The Tax & Accounting segment is a provider of integrated tax compliance and accounting information, software and services for professionals in accounting firms, corporations, law firms and government.

The Company also reports “Corporate & Other”, which includes expenses for corporate functions, shared costs previously allocated to Intellectual Property & Science, and the results of the Reuters News business. Neither Corporate & Other nor the Reuters News business qualify as a component of another reportable segment nor as a separate reportable segment.

In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the Company discloses certain information about its reportable segments based upon measures used by management in assessing the performance of those reportable segments. These measures are described below and may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Segment operating profit

^•

The Company does not consider these excluded items to be controllable operating activities for purposes of assessing the current performance of the reportable segments.

^•

Additionally, the Company assesses its consolidated performance using the following measures.

Consolidated revenues and underlying operating profit

^•

Consolidated revenues are revenues from reportable segments and Corporate & Other, less eliminations.

^•

Underlying operating profit is comprised of operating profit from reportable segments and Corporate & Other.

Note 4: Seasonality

The Company’s revenues and operating profit on a consolidated basis do not tend to be significantly impacted by seasonality as it records a large portion of its revenues ratably over a contract term and its costs are generally incurred evenly throughout the year. However, non-recurring revenues can cause changes in the Company’s performance from quarter to consecutive quarter. Additionally, the release of certain print-based offerings can be seasonal as can certain product releases for the regulatory markets, which tend to be concentrated at the end of the year. The Company’s quarterly performance may also be impacted by volatile foreign currency exchange rates. As a consequence, the results of certain of the Company’s segments can be impacted by seasonality to a greater extent than its consolidated revenues and operating profit.

Note 5: Operating expenses

The components of operating expenses include the following:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Salaries, commissions and allowances		1,024		1,026		2,063		2,059
Share-based payments		23		13		51		32
Post-employment benefits		59		58		125		123

Fair value adjustments⁽²⁾		(21)		60		43		7
Total operating expenses		1,991		2,091		4,100		4,125

(1)	Goods and services include professional fees, consulting and outsourcing services, contractors, selling and marketing, and other general and administrative costs.

(2)	Fair value adjustments primarily represent mark-to-market impacts on embedded derivatives and certain share-based awards.

Note 6: Other operating gains, net

Other operating gains, net, were $7 million and $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $11 million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included a gain from the sale of the Fiduciary Services and Competitive Intelligence unit of the Lipper business, which was formerly managed within the Financial & Risk segment.

Note 7: Finance costs, net

The components of finance costs, net, include interest expense (income) and other finance costs (income) as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015

Interest income		(1)		(1)		(3)		(1)
Net interest expense		103		107		196		212


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Net (gains) losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates		(20)		4		(16)		7
Net losses (gains) on derivative instruments		11		1		41		(46)
Other finance (income) costs		(9)		5		25		(39)

Net (gains) losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates

Net (gains) losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates were principally comprised of amounts related to certain intercompany funding arrangements.

Net losses (gains) on derivative instruments

Net losses (gains) on derivative instruments were principally comprised of amounts relating to foreign exchange contracts.

Note 8: Taxation

Tax expense (benefit) was $2 million and $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $(24) million and $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The tax expense in each period reflected the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were recognized. Because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year, tax expense or benefit in interim periods is not necessarily indicative of tax expense for the full year.

Note 9: Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share was calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders less dividends declared on preference shares by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and vested deferred share units (“DSUs”) outstanding during the period. DSUs represent common shares that certain employees have elected to receive in the future upon vesting of share-based compensation awards or in lieu of cash compensation.

Diluted earnings per share was calculated using the denominator of the basic calculation described above adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and time-based restricted share units (“TRSUs”).

Page 41

LOGO

Earnings used in determining consolidated earnings per share and earnings per share from continuing operations are as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Earnings attributable to common shareholders		337		262		599		567
Less: Dividends declared on preference shares		-		-		(1)		(1)
Earnings used in consolidated earnings per share		337		262		598		566
Less: Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax		(46)		(55)		(108)		(95)
Earnings used in earnings per share from continuing operations		291		207		490		471

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding, as well as a reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the basic earnings per share computation to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the diluted earnings per share computation, is presented below:

Note 10: Discontinued operations

In July 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Intellectual Property & Science business. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year following regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. See note 20. The results of Intellectual Property & Science are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Earnings from discontinued operations are summarized as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED				SIX MONTHS ENDED
	JUNE 30,				JUNE 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015

(1)

Includes a $(3) million and $16 million tax (expense) benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, that reflects changes in the Company’s estimate of the net deferred tax asset it expects to realize in connection with the planned sale of its Intellectual Property & Science business. The current and deferred tax consequences of the divestiture could vary significantly depending on the ultimate structure of the transaction.

Cash and cash equivalents

Of total cash and cash equivalents, $108 million and $106 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, was held in subsidiaries which have regulatory restrictions, contractual restrictions or operate in countries where exchange controls and other legal restrictions apply and are therefore not available for general use by the Company.

Debt-related activity

The following table provides information regarding notes that the Company issued and repaid in the six months ended June 30, 2016:


MONTH/YEAR	TRANSACTION	PRINCIPAL AMOUNT (IN MILLIONS)
	Notes issued
May 2016	3.35% Notes, due 2026	US$500
	Notes repaid
May 2016	0.875% Notes, due 2016	US$500

The Company used the net proceeds of its May 2016 debt issuance to repay the notes which matured that month.

Under its commercial paper programs, the Company may issue up to $2.0 billion of notes. At June 30, 2016, current indebtedness included $1.341 billion (December 31, 2015 - $1.037 billion) of outstanding commercial paper within the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Company has a $2.5 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in May 2018. The facility may be utilized to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes (including to support its commercial paper programs). There were no borrowings under the credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Fair Value

The fair values of cash, trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt and related derivative instruments is set forth below.

Debt and Related Derivative Instruments

Carrying Amounts

Amounts recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position are referred to as “carrying amounts”. The carrying amounts of primary debt are reflected in “Long-term indebtedness” and “Current indebtedness” and the carrying amounts of derivative instruments are included in “Other financial assets” and “Other financial liabilities”, both current and non-current in the consolidated statement of financial position, as appropriate.

Fair Value

The fair value of debt is estimated based on either quoted market prices for similar issues or current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same maturity. The fair value of interest rate swaps are estimated based upon discounted cash flows using applicable current market rates and taking into account non-performance risk.

The following is a summary of debt and related derivative instruments that hedge the cash flows or fair value of the debt:

Fair value estimation

The following fair value measurement hierarchy is used for financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value:

^•

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

^•

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

^•

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The levels used to determine fair value measurements for those instruments carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are as follows:

(2)	Used to manage foreign exchange risk on cash flows excluding indebtedness.

(3)	Investments in entities over which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence.

(4)	Obligations to pay additional consideration for prior acquisitions.

(5)	Comprised of fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps on indebtedness.

The Company recognizes transfers into and transfers out of the fair value measurement hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or a change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Valuation Techniques

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

^•

quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;

^•

the fair value of currency and interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves; and

^•

the fair value of contingent consideration is calculated based on estimates of future revenue performance.

Note 15: Capital

Share repurchases

The Company may buy back shares (and subsequently cancel them) from time to time as part of its capital strategy. In May 2016, the Company renewed its current normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for an additional 12 months. Under the renewed NCIB, the Company may repurchase up to 37.5 million common shares between May 30, 2016 and May 29, 2017 in open market transactions on the TSX, the NYSE and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or NYSE or under applicable law, including private agreement purchases if the Company receives an issuer bid exemption order from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for such purchases. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company privately repurchased 3.0 million common shares at a discount to the then-prevailing market price.

Decisions regarding any future repurchases will be based on the timing of the closing of the sale of the Intellectual Property & Science business in addition to other factors, such as market conditions, share price, and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. The Company may elect to suspend or discontinue its share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws. From time to time when the Company does not possess material nonpublic information about itself or its securities, it may enter into a pre-defined plan with its broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered into with the Company’s broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company entered into such plans with its broker on June 30, 2016 and on December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company recorded a $140 million liability in “Other financial liabilities” within current liabilities at June 30, 2016 ($165 million at December 31, 2015) with a corresponding amount recorded in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position in both periods.

Note 17: Acquisitions

Acquisitions primarily comprise the purchase of businesses that are integrated into existing operations to broaden the Company’s range of offerings to customers as well as its presence in global markets.

Acquisition activity

The number of acquisitions completed, and the related cash consideration, were as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
	NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS		CASH CONSIDERATION		NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS		CASH CONSIDERATION

		3		65		6		111

Purchase price allocation

Each business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method and the results of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. Purchase price allocations related to certain acquisitions may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuations.

Goodwill		32		57
Total		65		110

(1)	The three months ended June 30, 2016 include valuation adjustments for acquisitions that closed in the first quarter of the year.

The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill and reflects synergies and the value of the acquired workforce. The majority of goodwill for acquisitions completed in 2016 is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition transactions were completed by acquiring all equity interests or the net assets of the acquired business.

Other

The revenues and operating profit of acquired businesses since the date of acquisition were not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Note 18: Contingencies

Lawsuits and legal claims

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings, claims, audits and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, antitrust/competition claims, intellectual property infringement claims, employment matters and commercial matters. The outcome of all of the matters against the Company is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information currently known to the Company and after consultation with outside legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition taken as a whole.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by many different taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business. There are many transactions and calculations during the course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, as taxing authorities may challenge some of the Company’s positions and propose adjustments or changes to its tax filings.

As a result, the Company maintains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. These provisions are made using the Company’s best estimates of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax audits, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from such audits or related litigation could vary significantly from the Company’s provisions. However, based on currently enacted legislation, information currently known by the Company and after consultation with outside tax advisors, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition taken as a whole.

Page 50

LOGO

In June 2016, certain U.S. subsidiaries received a statutory notice of deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. In the notice, the IRS claims that the taxable income of these subsidiaries should be increased by an amount that creates an aggregate potential additional income tax liability of approximately $250 million for the period, including interest. The IRS claim relates to the Company’s intercompany transfer pricing practices. Management believes the Company will prevail in this dispute. The Company plans to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matter.

Note 19: Related party transactions

As of June 30, 2016, Woodbridge beneficially owned approximately 60% of the Company’s shares.

In January 2016, the Company sold a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge for $16 million. The subsidiary’s assets consisted of accumulated losses that management did not expect to utilize against future taxable income prior to their expiry. As such, no tax benefit for the losses had been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Under Canadian law, certain losses may only be transferred to related companies, such as those affiliated with Woodbridge. A gain of $16 million was recorded within “Other operating gains, net” within the consolidated income statement. In connection with this transaction, the board of directors’ Corporate Governance Committee obtained an independent fairness opinion. The Company utilized the independent fairness opinion to determine that the negotiated price between the Company and the purchaser was reasonable. After receiving the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the board of directors approved the transaction. Directors who were not considered independent because of their positions with Woodbridge refrained from deliberating and voting on the matter at both the committee and board meetings.

Except for the above transaction, there were no new significant related party transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Refer to “Related party transactions” set out in note 29 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the Company’s 2015 annual report, for information regarding related party transactions.

Note 20: Subsequent events

Divestiture

In July 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Intellectual Property & Science business for $3.55 billion. The sale is expected to close before the end of the year following regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to record a significant gain on this transaction.
