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 how we performed, as well as information about our financial condition and future prospects. As this management’s discussion and analysis is intended to supplement and complement our financial statements, we recommend that you read this in conjunction with our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our 2022 annual consolidated financial statements and our 2022 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 2023 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, material assumptions and material risks associated with them, please see the “Outlook,” and “Additional Information—Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” sections of this management’s discussion and analysis. This management’s discussion and analysis is dated as of August 1, 2023.

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


•	Executive Summary – an overview of our business and key financial highlights	3

•	Results of Operations – a comparison of our current and prior-year period results	4

•	Investment in LSEG – a discussion of our current ownership interest in LSEG	12

•	Liquidity and Capital Resources – a discussion of our cash flow and debt	13

•	Outlook – our financial outlook, including material assumptions and material risks	18

•	Related Party Transactions – a discussion of transactions with our principal and controlling shareholder, The Woodbridge Company Limited (Woodbridge) and other related parties	20

•	Subsequent Events – a discussion of material events occurring after June 30, 2023 and through the date of this management’s discussion and analysis	21

•	Changes in Accounting Policies – a discussion of changes in our accounting policies	21

•	Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments – a discussion of critical estimates and judgments made by our management in applying accounting policies	21

•	Additional Information – other required disclosures	21

•	Appendix – supplemental information	23

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this discussion to “we,” “our,” “us”, the “Company” and “Thomson Reuters” are to Thomson Reuters Corporation and our subsidiaries.

Basis of presentation

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in U.S. dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

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

Use of non-IFRS financial measures

In this management’s discussion and analysis, we discuss our results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis. We use non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes, our management incentive programs and our business outlook. We believe non-IFRS financial measures provide more insight into our performance. Non-IFRS measures do not have 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.

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. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this management’s discussion and analysis and Appendix B for reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Our businesses are supported by a corporate center that manages our commercial and technology operations, including those around our sales capabilities, digital customer experience, and product and content development, as well as our global facilities. Costs relating to these activities are allocated to our business segments. We also report “Corporate costs”, which includes expenses for centrally managed functions such as finance, legal and human resources. In 2022, Corporate costs also included expenses related to the Change Program.

Key Financial Highlights

We continued to see good momentum in our business during the second quarter of 2023, despite a continuing uncertain macro-economic environment. While the loss of revenues from divested businesses mitigated total revenue growth to 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2022, we reported organic growth across four of our five business segments. On an organic basis, our revenues increased 5%, broadly in-line with our expectations, reflecting strong growth in recurring and transactions revenues in our “Big 3” segments. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 40.1% in the second quarter of 2023 from 34.7% in the second quarter of 2022, partially benefiting from the timing of expenses that we expect to normalize in the second half of the year.

We continued to see strong performance from Westlaw Precision and our international businesses, as well as from our Confirmation, HighQ and Practical Law products. We have been pleased with the performance of our recent SurePrep acquisition. These areas of strength have been tempered somewhat by tighter customer discretionary budgets in a few pockets of our business, including in our Corporates segment, where sales cycles continue to lengthen, and in our Events and digital advertising businesses within our Reuters News segment, where growth has softened. Reflecting the momentum in our business, we are maintaining our full-year outlook for organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow. Refer to the Outlook section of this management’s discussion and analysis for a complete discussion of our 2023 outlook.

Our confidence around the opportunities that generative AI brings us continues to strengthen. In May 2023, we announced our collaboration with Microsoft to deliver AI solutions to legal professionals, and in June 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Casetext, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable legal professionals to work more efficiently, for $650 million. We expect to complete the acquisition of Casetext by the end of 2023, subject to specified regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Our capital capacity and liquidity remain a key asset. In the first six months of 2023, we sold approximately 40.1 million LSEG shares for gross proceeds of $3.9 billion. In the second quarter, we sold a majority stake in our Elite business for proceeds of $418 million. We returned approximately $2.0 billion of capital to shareholders and reduced our outstanding common shares by 15.8 million in our return of capital transaction completed in June 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, we completed our $2 billion share repurchase program with the repurchase of $718 million of our shares. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Results of Operations

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 the contract term and our costs are generally incurred evenly throughout the year. However, our revenues from quarter to consecutive quarter can be impacted by the release of certain tax products, which tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter and, to a lesser extent, in the first quarter of the year. The timing of costs related to the Change Program impacted the seasonality of our expenses and operating profit in 2022.

Revenues		1,647		1,614		2%		2%		5%		3,385		3,288		3%		4%		6%

Revenues in the second quarter increased 2% in total and in constant currency, as growth across four of our five of business segments and the acquisition of SurePrep in January 2023 was partially offset by the loss of revenues from businesses we divested. Foreign currency had no impact on consolidated revenue growth in the quarter. On an organic basis, total revenues increased 5%, driven by 6% growth in recurring revenues (80% of total revenues) and 6% growth in transactions revenues. Global Print revenues declined 4% on an organic basis.

Revenues in the six-month period increased 3% in total and 4% in constant currency. Foreign currency had a 1% negative impact on consolidated revenue growth. Total recurring and transactions revenue growth was negatively impacted by divestitures, however transactions revenues benefited from the acquisition of SurePrep. On an organic basis, total revenues increased 6%, driven by 6% growth in recurring revenues (78% of total revenues) and 9% growth in transactions revenues. Global Print revenues declined 2% on an organic basis.

Revenues from the “Big 3” segments in the second quarter increased 3% in total and in constant currency. On an organic basis, revenues increased 7%, the ninth consecutive quarter our “Big 3” segments have grown at least 6%, driven by 7% growth in both recurring and transactions revenues. In the six-month period, revenues from the “Big 3” segments increased 4% in total and 5% in constant currency. Foreign currency had a 1% negative impact on revenue growth. On an organic basis, revenues increased 7% driven by 6% growth in recurring revenues and 10% growth in transactions revenues. In each period, our “Big 3” segments represented approximately 81% of our total revenues.

In the six-month period, the negative impact from foreign currency on revenue growth reflected the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies, including the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Argentine peso, compared to the prior-year period.

Operating profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA less accrued capital expenditures

Operating profit increased 111% and 66% in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively, primarily due to a gain on sale of a majority stake in our Elite business. Higher revenues and lower costs also contributed to operating profit growth. Operating profit in the six-month period also included a gain from the sale of a subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge, our company’s principal shareholder (see the “Related Party Transactions” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information).

In the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the gain on the sale of Elite as well as other adjustments, increased 18% and the related margin increased to 40.1% from 34.7% in the prior-year period. The increases were due to higher revenues and lower costs. Lower costs reflected Change Program investments made in the prior-year period, which benefited the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 190bp, as well as the timing of expenses that we expect to normalize in the second half of the year. Foreign currency contributed 10bp to the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin.

In the six-month period, adjusted EBITDA, which also excludes the gain from the sale of a subsidiary mentioned above, increased 15% and the related margin increased to 39.4% from 35.3% in the prior year period. The increases were due to higher revenues and lower costs. As in the quarter, lower costs reflected Change Program investments made in the prior-year period, which benefited the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin by 190bp as well as the timing of expenses that we expect to normalize in the second half of the year. Foreign currency contributed 30bp to the year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA margin.

In both periods, adjusted EBITDA less accrued capital expenditures and the related margin increased due to higher adjusted EBITDA and lower accrued capital expenditures.

Operating expenses



	Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,

					Change								Change

(millions of U.S. dollars)	2023		2022		Total		Constant Currency		2023		2022		Total		Constant Currency

Operating expenses, excluding fair value adjustments		989		1,053		(6%)		(6%)		2,059		2,127		(3%)		(2%)

(1)	Fair value adjustments primarily represent gains or losses on intercompany balances that arise in the ordinary course of business due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Operating expenses, excluding fair value adjustments, decreased in total and in constant currency in both periods. The decrease was due to cost savings from the completion of our Change Program in 2022 and lower costs related to divested businesses, which more than offset higher costs from acquisitions, as well as higher product, sales, and marketing expenses. The second quarter of 2023 also benefited from favorable timing of expenses.

Depreciation and amortization

Amortization of other identifiable intangible assets		23		25		(5%)		48		51		(5%)

^●

Depreciation decreased in both periods due to the completion of depreciation of assets acquired in previous years. Amortization of computer software increased in both periods as higher expense from newly acquired assets, including from recently acquired businesses, more than offset lower amortization associated with businesses held for sale.

Other operating gains, net, in both periods of 2023 included a $347 million gain on the sale of a majority interest in our Elite business. The six months ended June 30, 2023 also included a $23 million gain on the sale of a Canadian wholly-owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge, our company’s principal shareholder (see the “Related Party Transactions” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information). In both periods of 2022, other operating gains, net, were not significant.

Net interest expense		34		49		(30%)		89		97		(8%)

Net interest expense decreased in both periods due to interest income related to the proceeds from the sale of our LSEG shares, which more than offset higher interest costs on commercial paper borrowings and net pension obligations. As substantially all our long-term debt obligations paid interest at fixed rates (after swaps), the net interest expense on our term debt was essentially unchanged compared to the prior-year periods.

In the second quarter and six-month period of 2022, other finance income included gains of $242 million and $320 million, respectively, from foreign exchange contracts, and net foreign exchange gains on intercompany funding arrangements.

Our investment in LSEG is subject to equity accounting because the LSEG shares are held through YPL, over which we have significant influence. The investment in LSEG shares held by YPL is accounted for at fair value, based on the share price of LSEG. As the investment in LSEG is denominated in British pounds sterling, the Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts to mitigate currency risk on its investment. See the “Investment in LSEG” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information on the sales of LSEG shares in the first six months of 2023.

In the second quarter of 2023, share of post-tax earnings in equity method investments primarily reflected an increase in value of our LSEG investment, of which $220 million related to a higher share price and $113 million related to foreign exchange gains. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, share of post-tax earnings in equity method investments primarily reflected an increase in value of our LSEG investment, of which $692 million related to a higher share price and $278 million related to foreign exchange gains. A loss of $77 million on a forward contract relating to the agreement to sell LSEG shares to Microsoft for a fixed price was also included. Both periods included $45 million of dividend income from our LSEG investment.

Page 7

LOGO

In the second quarter of 2022, share of post-tax losses in equity method investments included a decrease in value of our LSEG investment, of which $319 million related to a decrease in the LSEG share price and $565 million related to foreign exchange losses. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, share of post-tax losses in equity method investments reflected a decrease in value of our LSEG investment, of which $689 million related to an increase in the LSEG share price, which was more than offset by $774 million of foreign exchange losses. Both periods also included $62 million of dividend income from our LSEG investment.

In the second quarter of 2023, tax expense (benefit) included $97 million (2022 - $(209) million) related to our earnings (loss) in equity method investments. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, tax expense (benefit) included $233 million (2022 - $(17) million) related to the Company’s earnings (loss) in equity method investments. Both periods in 2023 included $78 million of expense related to the sale of a majority stake in Elite, as well as $24 million of benefits from the release of reserves for uncertain tax reserves upon the settlement of a tax audit. Additionally, tax expense (benefit) 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 (benefit) for the full year.

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

Because the items described above impact the comparability of our tax expense or benefit for each period, we remove them from our calculation of adjusted earnings, along with the pre-tax items to which they relate. The computation of our adjusted tax expense is set forth below:

Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective tax rates. Earnings or losses for interim periods under IFRS generally 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.

We expect new tax legislation to be enacted in Canada later in 2023 that will reduce our ability to deduct interest expense against our Canadian income. As a result, we expect to increase our taxable profits in Canada against which we will apply tax loss carryforwards. When the legislation is enacted, we expect to recognize previously unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in our consolidated income statement and record corresponding deferred tax assets, the amount of which could be significant.

Net earnings and diluted EPS increased in both periods primarily due to higher operating profit and an increase in the value of our LSEG investment, which was partially offset by other finance costs in 2023. The second quarter of 2022 included a significant reduction in the value of our LSEG investment.

Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS, which excludes the change in value of our LSEG investment, other finance costs or income, the gain on the sale of Elite, as well as other adjustments, increased in both periods primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA.

Segment results

The following is a discussion of our five reportable segments and our Corporate costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. We assess revenue growth for each segment, as well as the businesses within each segment, in constant currency and on an organic basis. See Appendix A of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Segment adjusted EBITDA margin		48.9%		43.4%		550bp		540bp				46.7%		43.6%		310bp		280bp

Revenues increased in total and in constant currency in both periods, but were negatively impacted by the loss of revenues from divested businesses. The increases were driven by growth in recurring revenues (95% of the Legal Professionals segment in the second quarter), which more than offset a decline in transactions revenues (5% of the Legal Professionals segment in the second quarter) due to divestitures.

On an organic basis, revenues also increased in both periods due to growth in recurring revenues that were driven by Westlaw, Practical Law, HighQ and the segment’s international businesses. Transactions revenues increased on an organic basis in both periods and included growth in the Government business and Findlaw, the latter of which was timing related.

Segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin increased in both periods driven by higher revenues and lower expenses. The second quarter benefited from favorable timing of expenses. Foreign currency benefited the year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin by 10bp in the second quarter and 30bp in the six-month period.

Segment adjusted EBITDA margin		41.6%		37.4%		420bp		430bp				38.2%		37.8%		40bp		40bp

Revenues increased in total and constant currency in both periods, but were negatively impacted by the loss of revenues from divested businesses. The increases were driven by growth in recurring revenues (87% of the Corporates segment in the second quarter) as well as transactions revenues (13% of the Corporates segment in the second quarter), which benefited from the acquisition of SurePrep.

On an organic basis, revenues increased in the second quarter as growth in recurring revenues driven by Practical Law, CLEAR, and the segment’s businesses in Latin America, more than offset a slight decline in transactions revenues. In the six-month period, the increase in organic revenues was due to both higher recurring and transactions revenues. Transactions revenues benefited from growth in the Confirmation and Trust businesses.

Segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin increased in the second quarter due to higher revenues and lower expenses, the latter of which benefited from timing. Foreign currency had a 10bp negative impact on the year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter. In the six-month period, the increases in segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin were driven by higher revenues, which more than offset higher expenses. Foreign currency had no impact on year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin in the period.

Revenues increased in total and constant currency in both periods driven by growth in transactions revenues (27% of the Tax & Accounting Professionals segment in the second quarter), which reflected the acquisition of SurePrep. Recurring revenue (73% of the Tax & Accounting Professionals segment in the second quarter) performance in both periods was negatively impacted by the loss of revenues from divested businesses. The six-month period also included higher customer credits, which we do not expect to recur.

On an organic basis, revenues increased in both periods due to growth in recurring and transactions revenues. The segment’s businesses in Latin America contributed to recurring revenue growth, while the Confirmation and SurePrep businesses drove the growth in transactions revenues.

Segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin increased in both periods as higher revenues more than offset higher expenses, which included costs related to the SurePrep acquisition and higher revenue related expenses. Foreign currency had no impact on the year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter, and benefited the year-over-year change in the six-month period by 30bp.

Tax & Accounting Professionals is a more seasonal business relative to our other businesses, with a higher percentage of its revenues historically generated in the fourth quarter and to a slightly lesser extent, the first quarter, due to the release of certain tax products. As a result, the margin performance of this segment has been generally higher in the first and fourth quarters as costs are typically incurred in a more linear fashion throughout the year.

Revenues increased in total, in constant currency and on an organic basis in both periods. The moderation in revenue growth was driven by a lower contractual price increase in 2023, compared to 2022, from the segment’s news and editorial agreement with the Data & Analytics business of LSEG, slower Events growth and lower digital revenues.

Reuters News and the Data & Analytics business of LSEG have an agreement pursuant to which Reuters News supplies news and editorial content to LSEG through October 1, 2048. Reuters News recorded revenues of $92 million (2022 - $90 million) and $184 million (2022 - $180 million) in the second quarter and six-month period of 2023, respectively, under this agreement.

Segment adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter due to currency benefits. In the six-month period, segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin decreased due to investments we made in the business. Foreign currency benefited the year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin by 190bp in the second quarter and 210bp in the six-month period.

Revenues decreased in total and in constant currency in both periods, as performance was negatively impacted by the loss of revenues from divested businesses. The decline in revenues on an organic basis in both periods was in line with our expectations.

Segment adjusted EBITDA and the related margin increased in the second quarter as lower expenses, which reflected favorable timing of materials sourcing and labor costs, more than offset lower revenues. In the six-month period, segment adjusted EBITDA was unchanged and the related margin increased due to the same factors as the quarter. Foreign currency benefited the year-over-year change in segment adjusted EBITDA margin by 40bp in the second quarter and 20bp in the six-month period.

Corporate costs decreased primarily because the prior year-periods included $30 million and $64 million of costs associated with the Change Program in the second quarter and six-month period of 2022, respectively. The six-month period of 2023 also included $7 million of non-income tax credits.

Investment in LSEG

We indirectly own shares in LSEG through YPL, an entity jointly owned by our company, Blackstone’s consortium and certain current LSEG and former members of Refinitiv senior management.

During the second quarter and six-month period of 2023, we received $1.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, related to the transactions described below. Of these amounts, $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion were received in the second quarter and six-month period of 2023, respectively, in the form of dividends from YPL.

^●

On January 31, 2023, our company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 21.2 million LSEG shares they co-own through YPL to Microsoft for a fixed U.S. dollar price of $94.50 per share. We received approximately $1.0 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 10.5 million shares our company indirectly owned. In conjunction with the sale of shares to Microsoft, LSEG amended the terms of contractual lock-up provisions previously agreed between LSEG and the Blackstone consortium/Thomson Reuters entities that hold the LSEG shares. Based on agreements our company has with LSEG and the Blackstone consortium, Thomson Reuters will be able to sell approximately 31 million of its indirectly owned shares in the twelve-month period beginning January 30, 2023, 22 million shares in the twelve-month period beginning January 30, 2024 and 8 million shares after the lock-up arrangement terminates on January 29, 2025.

^●

On March 8, 2023, our company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 28 million shares they co-own for £71.50 per share through a placing to institutional investors and an offer to retail investors. We received approximately $1.3 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 13.6 million shares our company indirectly owned, which included approximately $96 million from the settlement of foreign exchange contracts intended to mitigate foreign exchange risk on the investment.

^●

On May 19, 2023, our company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 33 million shares they co-own for £80.50 per share through a placing to institutional investors and an offer to retail investors. We received approximately $1.6 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 15.3 million shares our company indirectly owned, which included approximately $28 million from the settlement of foreign exchange contracts intended to mitigate foreign exchange risk on the investment.

^●

During the second quarter and six-month period of 2023, LSEG repurchased 0.6 million and 1.5 million, respectively, of ordinary shares from YPL under an open market buyback program announced by LSEG in August 2022. We received proceeds of approximately $27 million and $62 million related to the approximately 0.3 million and 0.7 million shares our company indirectly owned and sold as part of this buyback in the second quarter and six-month period of 2023, respectively.

We paid $250 million of income tax in the first six months of 2023 and expect to pay approximately $170 million later this year on these share sales and the related settlement of foreign exchange contracts. Relative to our remaining shares, we expect to pay 25% capital gains tax on proceeds above our tax basis of $1.3 billion.

See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the management’s discussion and analysis for information on our use of proceeds from the sale of LSEG shares.

Given the reduction in its ownership in 2023, YPL is only entitled to nominate two non-executive directors to the board of LSEG, rather than three. As such, Thomson Reuters is no longer entitled to nominate a representative to the board of LSEG.

The market value of our investment in LSEG on July 31, 2023 was approximately $3.5 billion, based on LSEG’s closing share price on that date and 31.8 million shares, which reflects any additional shares sold through our participation in LSEG’s open market buyback program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically maintained a disciplined capital strategy that balances growth, long-term financial leverage, credit ratings and returns to shareholders. We are focused on having the investment capacity to drive revenue growth, both organically and through acquisitions, while also maintaining our long-term financial leverage and credit ratings and continuing to provide returns to shareholders. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities. From time to time, we also issue commercial paper, borrow under our credit facility, and issue debt securities. Our principal uses of cash are for debt repayments, debt servicing costs, dividend payments, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions.

In the first six months of 2023, we received gross proceeds of $3.9 billion, which included the settlement of foreign exchange contracts, from the sale of approximately 40.1 million LSEG shares. In June 2023, we returned $2.0 billion of these proceeds to shareholders through a return of capital transaction. We plan to use the remaining proceeds to pursue organic and inorganic opportunities in key growth segments as well as for other general corporate purposes. We also plan to continue to sell LSEG shares in tranches subject to contractual lock-up provisions. We expect those proceeds will provide us with further options for investment and returns to shareholders (Refer to the “Investment in LSEG” section, and the “Return of capital and share consolidation” section below, of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information).

Our capital strategy approach has provided us with a strong capital structure and liquidity position. Our disciplined approach and cash generative business model have allowed us to weather economic volatility in recent years caused by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, while continuing to invest in our business. While we are closely monitoring the global disruption caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, our operations in the region are not material to our business.

We expect that the operating leverage of our business will increase our free cash flow if we increase revenues as contemplated by our outlook. We target a maximum leverage ratio of 2.5x net debt to adjusted EBITDA and have set a target to pay out 50% to 60% of our expected free cash flow as dividends to our shareholders.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $2.9 billion of cash on hand, which includes a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our LSEG shares. As a result, our net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio as of June 30, 2023 was 1.2:1, significantly lower than our target of 2.5:1. As calculated under our credit facility covenant, our net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio as of June 30, 2023 was 1.1:1, which is also well below the maximum leverage ratio allowed under the credit facility of 4.5:1. Our next scheduled debt maturity is in the fourth quarter of 2023.

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.

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

(1)	Refer to Appendices A and B of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information and reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased in both periods primarily due to the cash benefits from higher revenues and lower costs, lower tax payments and favorable movements in working capital.

Investing activities. In 2023, net cash provided by investing activities included $1,583 million and $3,876 million, in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively, in proceeds from the sales of LSEG shares (see the “Investment in LSEG” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information). Both periods also included $418 million in proceeds from the sale of a majority stake in our Elite business (see the “Executive Summary” section of this of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information) and a $45 million dividend from our LSEG investment. These inflows were partly offset by $252 million and $270 million in taxes paid on the sales of LSEG shares and certain businesses, $127 million and $267 million of capital expenditures, and $33 million and $523 million of acquisition spending in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. Acquisition spending in the six-month period primarily included the January 2023 acquisition of SurePrep, a provider of tax automation software and services.

In 2022, net cash used in investing activities included $137 million and $308 million of capital expenditures in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. Both periods also included acquisition spending of $163 million and $171 million, respectively, which primarily included the April 2022 acquisition of ThoughtTrace, a business that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to read, organize and manage document workflows. These outflows were partly offset by a $62 million dividend from our LSEG investment.

Financing activities. In 2023, net cash used in financing activities in both periods reflected returns to our shareholders of $2,045 million through a return of capital and share consolidation transaction. The second quarter also included $230 million of dividend payments to our common shareholders, while the six-month period included $454 million of dividends and $718 million in share repurchases. These outflows were partly offset by $1,132 million and $771 million of net borrowing under our commercial paper program in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. Refer to the “Commercial paper program”, ”Dividends”, “Share repurchases” and “Return of capital and share consolidation” subsections below for additional information.

In 2022, net cash used in financing activities included dividends paid to our common shareholders of $210 million and $419 million in the second quarter and six-month period, respectively. Both periods of 2022 also included $194 million of share repurchases.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 were higher compared to the beginning of the year due to the proceeds from the sale of approximately 40.1 million of our indirectly owned LSEG shares that remained after our return of capital and share consolidation transaction.

Free cash flow. Free cash flow increased in both periods primarily due to higher cash flows from operating activities and lower capital expenditures. The six-month period also reflected proceeds from the sale of a subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge. Capital expenditures in the prior-year periods included investments in the Change Program.

Additional information about our debt and credit arrangements, dividends, share repurchases and return of capital and share consolidation is as follows:

^●

Commercial paper program. Our $2.0 billion commercial paper program provides cost-effective and flexible short-term funding. Issuances of commercial paper reached a peak of $1,840 million during the second quarter of 2023, all of which remained outstanding as of June 30, 2023, and was included in “Current indebtedness” within the consolidated statement of financial position.

^●

Credit facility. We have a $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in November 2027 and may be used to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions or support for our commercial paper program). There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2023. Based on our current credit ratings, the cost of borrowing under the facility is priced at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)/Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURiBOR)/Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) plus 102.5 basis points. We have the option to request an increase, subject to approval by applicable lenders, in the lenders’ commitments in an aggregate amount of $600 million for a maximum credit facility commitment of $2.6 billion. If our debt rating is downgraded by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, our facility fees and borrowing costs would increase, although availability would be unaffected. Conversely, an upgrade in our ratings may reduce our facility fees and borrowing costs. We also 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 defined in the credit agreement (total debt after swaps less cash and cash equivalents) 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. If we complete an acquisition with a purchase price of over $500 million, we may elect, subject to notification, to temporarily increase the ratio of net debt to EBITDA to 5.0:1 at the end of the quarter within which the transaction closed and for each of the three immediately following fiscal quarters. At the end of that period, the ratio would revert to 4.5:1. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with this covenant as our ratio of net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the terms of our syndicated credit facility, was 1.1:1.

^●

Long-term debt. We did not issue notes or make any debt repayments in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Thomson Reuters Corporation and one of its U.S. subsidiaries, TR Finance LLC, may collectively issue up to $3.0 billion of unsecured debt securities from time to time through July 29, 2024 under a base shelf prospectus. Any debt securities issued by TR Finance LLC will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Thomson Reuters Corporation and three U.S. subsidiary guarantors, which are also indirect 100%-owned and consolidated subsidiaries of Thomson Reuters Corporation. Except for TR Finance LLC and the subsidiary guarantors, none of Thomson Reuters Corporation’s other subsidiaries have guaranteed or would otherwise become obligated with respect to any issued TR Finance LLC debt securities. Neither Thomson Reuters Corporation nor TR Finance LLC has issued any debt securities under the prospectus. Please refer to Appendix D of this management’s discussion and analysis for condensed consolidating financial information of the Company, including TR Finance LLC and the subsidiary guarantors.

^●

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 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 higher borrowing rates.

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


	Moody’s	S&P Global Ratings	DBRS Limited	Fitch
Long-term debt	Baa2	BBB	BBB (high)	BBB+

Dividends. Dividends on our common shares are declared in U.S. dollars. In February 2023, we announced a 10% or $0.18 per share increase in the annualized dividend rate to $1.96 per common share (beginning with the common share dividend that we paid in March 2023). In our consolidated statement of cash flow, dividends paid on common shares are shown net of amounts reinvested in our company under our dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP). Registered holders of common shares may participate in our DRIP, under which cash dividends are automatically reinvested in new common shares. Common shares are valued at the weighted-average price at which the shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) during the five trading days immediately preceding the record date for the dividend. Due to administrative complexities, we temporarily suspended our DRIP for any dividend payable in advance of the return of capital transaction and paid such dividends in cash. We resumed the DRIP after the completion of the return of capital transaction.

Details of dividends declared per common share and dividends paid on common shares are as follows:

Share repurchases – Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB). We buy back shares (and subsequently cancel them) from time to time as part of our capital strategy. In June 2022, we announced a plan to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our common shares. We completed this program in the first quarter of 2023.

Details of share repurchases were as follows:

Return of capital and share consolidation. In June 2023, we returned approximately $2.0 billion to our shareholders through a return of capital transaction, which was funded from the proceeds of our company’s dispositions of LSEG shares (see the “Investment in LSEG” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information on the sales of LSEG shares in the first six months of 2023). The transaction consisted of a cash distribution of $4.67 per common share and a share consolidation, or “reverse stock split”, at a ratio of 1 pre-consolidated share for 0.963957 post-consolidated shares. Shareholders who were subject to income tax in a jurisdiction other than Canada were given the opportunity to opt-out of the transaction. The share consolidation was proportional to the cash distribution and the share consolidation ratio was based on the volume weighted-average trading price of the shares on the NYSE for the five-trading day period immediately preceding June 23, 2023, the effective date for the return of capital transaction. Woodbridge, our principal shareholder, participated in this transaction. As a result of the share consolidation, our company’s outstanding common shares were reduced by 15.8 million common shares.

Financial position

Our total assets were $20.9 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $21.7 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by our return of capital transaction.

As of June 30, 2023, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets because current liabilities include a significant amount of deferred revenue, which arises from the sale of subscription-based products and services that many customers pay for 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, and therefore when we are in that situation, we do not believe it is indicative of a liquidity issue, but rather an outcome of the required accounting for our business model.

Amounts represent non-IFRS financial measures. For additional information about our liquidity, we provide our leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Refer to Appendices A and B of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information of our non-IFRS financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measure.

As of June 30, 2023, our total debt position (after swaps) was $5.5 billion. The maturity dates for our term debt are well balanced with no significant concentration in any one year. As of June 30, 2023, the average maturity of our term debt (total debt excluding commercial paper) was approximately seven years at an average interest rate (after swaps) of slightly over 4%, all of which is fixed. Our leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was below our target ratio of 2.5:1. The decrease in our net debt is primarily due to the increase in our cash and cash equivalents, which more than offset the increase in our commercial paper borrowings (refer to the “Cash Flow” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information).

Off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations

In June 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Casetext for $650 million. Casetext uses artificial intelligence and machine learning which enables legal professionals to work more efficiently. We expect the acquisition to close by the end of 2023, subject to specified regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

For a summary of our other off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations please see our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis. Except as described above, there were no material changes to these arrangements, commitments and contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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, employment matters, commercial matters, defamation claims and intellectual property infringement claims. 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.

Page 17

LOGO

As a result, we maintain provisions for uncertain tax positions that we believe appropriately reflect our risk. These provisions are made using our best estimates of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. When appropriate, we perform an expected value calculation to determine our provisions. 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.

Through June 30, 2023, we paid $456 million of tax as required under notices of assessment issued by the U.K. tax authority, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), under the Diverted Profits Tax (DPT) regime that collectively related to the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 taxation years of certain of our current and former U.K. affiliates. As we do not believe these current and former U.K. affiliates fall within the scope of the DPT regime, we will continue contesting these assessments through all available administrative and judicial remedies and we intend to vigorously defend our position. Payments we make are not a reflection of our view on the merits of the case. As the assessments largely relate to businesses we have sold, the majority are subject to indemnity arrangements under which we have been required to pay additional taxes to HMRC or the indemnity counterparty.

Because we believe our position is supported by the weight of law, we do not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition taken as a whole. As we expect to receive refunds of substantially all of the aggregate of amounts paid pursuant to these notices of assessment, we expect to continue recording substantially all of these payments as non-current receivables from HMRC or the indemnity counterparty on our financial statements.

Guarantees

We have an investment in 3XSQ Associates, an entity jointly owned by one of our subsidiaries and Rudin Times Square Associates LLC (Rudin), that owns and operates the 3 Times Square office building (the building) in New York, New York. In June 2022, 3XSQ Associates obtained a $415 million, 3-year term loan facility to refinance existing debt, fund the building’s redevelopment, and cover interest and operating costs during the redevelopment period. The building is pledged as loan collateral. We and Rudin each guarantee 50% of (i) certain principal loan amounts and (ii) interest and operating costs. We and Rudin also jointly and severally guarantee (i) completion of commenced works and (ii) lender losses arising from disallowed acts, environmental or otherwise. To minimize economic exposure to 50% for the joint and several obligations, we and a parent entity of Rudin entered into a cross-indemnification arrangement. We believe the value of the building is expected to be sufficient to cover obligations that could arise from the guarantees. The guarantees do not impact our ability to borrow funds under our $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility or the related covenant calculation.

For additional information, please see the “Risk Factors” section of our 2022 annual report, which contains further information on risks related to legal and tax matters.

Outlook

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

In August of 2023, we announced that we would maintain our full-year outlook as communicated in February and May of 2023, except for our effective tax rate, interest expense and capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues. As reflected in the table below, we increased our outlook for accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues to include real estate optimization spending and an acceleration of our investments in AI. We updated our outlook for interest expense to the lower end of our previously communicated range to reflect a faster pace of LSEG monetization and the benefit of higher interest rates on our cash balances. Finally, we lowered our outlook for our effective tax rate on adjusted earnings to reflect a benefit from the settlement of a prior-year tax audit during the second quarter of 2023. The following table sets forth our updated 2023 outlook, which includes non-IFRS financial measures. Our 2023 outlook:

^●

Assumes constant currency rates relative to 2022; and

^●

does not factor in the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures that may occur in future periods.

We believe this type of guidance provides useful insight into the performance of our business.

Page 18

LOGO

While our 2023 performance to date provides us with confidence about our outlook, the macroeconomic backdrop remains uncertain with many signs that point to a weakening global economic environment amid rising interest rates, high inflation and ongoing geopolitical risks. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment could impact our ability to achieve our outlook.

The following table summarizes our material assumptions and risks that may cause actual performance to differ from our expectations underlying our financial outlook, as updated in August of 2023.



Revenues
Material assumptions		Material risks
^● Uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions will continue to disrupt the economy and cause periods of volatility ^● Continued need for trusted products and services that help customers navigate evolving and complex legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, geopolitical and commercial changes, developments and environments, and for cloud-based digital tools that drive productivity ^● Continued ability to deliver innovative products that meet evolving customer demands ^● Acquisition of new customers through expanded and improved digital platforms, simplification of the product portfolio and through other sales initiatives ^● Improvement in customer retention through commercial simplification efforts and customer service improvements		^● Rising interest rates, inflation, geopolitical instability, including the war in Ukraine and lingering impacts from the pandemic (e.g. supply chain disruptions) continue to impact the global economy. The severity and duration of any one, or a combination, of these conditions could impact the global economy and lead to lower demand for our products and services (beyond our assumption that these disruptions will cause periods of volatility) ^● Demand for our products and services could be reduced by changes in customer buying patterns, or our inability to execute on key product design or customer support initiatives ^● Competitive pricing actions and product innovation could impact our revenues ^● Our sales, commercial simplification and product design initiatives may be insufficient to retain customers or generate new sales

Adjusted EBITDA margin
Material assumptions		Material risks
^● Our ability to achieve revenue growth targets ^● Business mix continues to shift to higher-growth product offerings		^● Same as the risks above related to the revenue outlook ^● Higher than expected inflation may lead to greater than anticipated increase in labor costs, third-party supplier costs and costs of print materials ^● Acquisition and disposal activity may dilute adjusted EBITDA margin

Free Cash Flow
Material assumptions		Material risks
^● Our ability to achieve our revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets ^● Accrued capital expenditures expected to approximate 8.0% of revenues		^● Same as the risks above related to the revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin outlook ^● A weaker macroeconomic environment could negatively impact working capital performance, including the ability of our customers to pay us ^● Accrued capital expenditures may be higher than currently expected ^● The timing and amount of tax payments to governments may differ from our expectations

Effective tax rate on adjusted earnings
Material assumptions		Material risks
^● Our ability to achieve our adjusted EBITDA target ^● The mix of taxing jurisdictions where we recognized pre-tax profit or losses in 2022 does not significantly change in 2023 ^● Minimal changes in tax laws and treaties within the jurisdictions where we operate ^● Significant gains that will prevent the imposition of certain minimum taxes ^● No significant charges or benefits from the finalization of prior tax years ^● Depreciation and amortization of computer software between $595 million and $625 million ^● Interest expense of approximately $190 million		^● Same as the risks above related to adjusted EBITDA ^● A material change in the geographical mix of our pre-tax profits and losses ^● A material change in current tax laws or treaties to which we are subject, and did not expect ^● Depreciation and amortization of computer software as well as interest expense may be significantly higher or lower than expected

Our outlook contains various non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that providing reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures in our outlook would be potentially misleading and not practical due to the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of ongoing operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items may be significant. Consequently, for outlook purposes only, we are unable to reconcile these measures to the most comparable IFRS measures because we cannot predict, with reasonable certainty, the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates which impact (i) the translation of our results reported at average foreign currency rates for the year and (ii) other finance income or expense related to intercompany financing arrangements and foreign exchange contracts. Additionally, we cannot reasonably predict (i) our share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, which is subject to changes in the stock price of LSEG or (ii) the occurrence or amount of other operating gains and losses, which generally arise from business transactions we do not currently anticipate.

Related Party Transactions

As of August 1, 2023, our principal shareholder, Woodbridge, beneficially owned approximately 69% of our common shares.

Transaction with Woodbridge

In March 2023, we sold a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge for $23 million. The subsidiary’s assets consisted of accumulated tax losses that management did not expect to utilize against future taxable income prior to their expiry based on currently enacted Canadian tax law. 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 $23 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. We utilized the independent fairness opinion to determine that the negotiated price between our company and Woodbridge was reasonable. After reviewing the matter, the Corporate Governance Committee approved the transaction. Directors who were not considered independent because of their positions with Woodbridge refrained from deliberating and voting on the matter at the committee meeting.

Transactions with YPL

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $3.8 billion of dividends from YPL primarily related to the sale of LSEG shares indirectly owned by our company. See the “Investment in LSEG” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

Page 20

LOGO

Transactions with Elite

In June 2023, we sold a majority interest in our Elite business to TPG and retained a 19.9% minority interest with board representation. To facilitate the separation, we agreed to provide certain operational services to Elite, including technology and administrative services, for a specified period. From the date of the sale through June 30, 2023, we recorded $2 million as contra-expense related to these transactions.

As of June 30, 2023, the consolidated statement of financial position included a receivable from Elite of $8 million and a payable to Elite of $16 million related to all transactions between the two companies.

Except for the above transactions, there were no new significant related party transactions during the first six months of 2023. Refer to the “Related Party Transactions” section of our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2022 annual report, as well as note 31 of our 2022 annual consolidated financial statements for information regarding related party transactions.

Subsequent Events

Acquisition

In July 2023, we acquired Imagen Ltd, a media asset management company, which will be part of our Reuters News segment. We are in the process of allocating the purchase consideration to the assets and liabilities assumed for accounting purposes.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Please refer to the “Changes in Accounting Policies” section of our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2022 annual report, for information regarding changes in accounting policies. Since the date of our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis, there have not been any significant changes to our accounting policies. Refer to note 1 of our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 for information regarding recent accounting amendments.

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 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2022 annual report, for additional information. Since the date of our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis, there have not been any significant changes to our critical accounting estimates and judgments.

We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment caused by rising interest rates, high inflation, and ongoing geopolitical risks, most notably the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. We are closely monitoring the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions to assess potential impacts on our businesses. Due to the significant uncertainty created by these circumstances, some of management’s estimates and judgments may be more variable and may change materially in the future.

Additional Information

Basis of presentation

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.

Page 21

LOGO

In the second quarter of 2023, we implemented SAP S/4 HANA, an enterprise resource planning software, to integrate and upgrade our financial reporting processes. In conjunction with the change, we modified certain processes and procedures which are part of our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2023 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Share capital

As of August 1, 2023, we had outstanding 455,303,939 common shares, 6,000,000 Series II preference shares, 1,441,955 stock options and a total of 1,618,874 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 2022 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.sedarplus.ca and in the United States with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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, our business outlook, statements regarding the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Casetext in 2023, our intention to target a dividend payout ratio of between 50% to 60% of its free cash flow, statements regarding the expected future growth of our customer segments or businesses, statements regarding the Company’s intention to sell a portion of its shares in LSEG and the related tax payments on such sales, expectations regarding our liquidity and capital resources, and the impact of changes in Canadian tax legislation. The words “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “target”, “estimate”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “predict”, “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this management’s discussion and analysis, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes or that any other events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond our company’s control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict. In particular, the full extent of the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical environment on the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.

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 2022 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. Many of those risks are, and could be, exacerbated by a worsening of the global geopolitical, business and economic environments. There is no assurance that any forward-looking statement will materialize.

The Company’s business outlook is based on information currently available to the Company and is based on various external and internal assumptions made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company believes are appropriate under the circumstances.

The Company has provided a business outlook for the purpose of presenting information about current expectations for the periods presented. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations only as of the date of this management’s discussion and analysis. Except as may be required by applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Appendix A

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use non-IFRS financial measures, which include ratios that incorporate one or more non-IFRS financial measures, as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position as well as for internal planning purposes, our management incentive programs and our business outlook. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies.

As of September 30, 2022, we amended our definition for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings to exclude the impact from having to fair value acquired deferred revenue. Under IFRS rules, when a business is acquired, a purchaser cannot recognize in its post-acquisition income statement the full amount of deferred revenue originally recorded by the seller. This requirement creates distortions in comparability from period to period. We believe that these changes to our metrics will eliminate these distortions. The prior-period amounts for the second quarter and six-month period of 2022 were not revised as the impact was negligible.

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 to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are reflected in Appendix B and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this management’s discussion and analysis.



How We Define It	Why We Use It and Why It Is Useful to Investors	Most Directly Comparable IFRS Measure

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

Adjusted EBITDA less accrued capital expenditures and the related margin
Represents adjusted EBITDA less accrued capital expenditures, where accrued capital expenditures include amounts that remain unpaid at the reporting date. The related margin is adjusted EBITDA less accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.	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, and reflects the basis on which management measures capital spending.	Earnings (loss) from continuing operations

Accrued capital expenditures as a percentage of revenues
Accrued capital expenditures expressed as a percentage of revenues. For purposes of this calculation, revenues are before fair value adjustments to acquired deferred revenue.	Reflects the basis on how we manage capital expenditures for internal budgeting purposes.	Capital expenditures

How We Define It	Why We Use It and Why It Is Useful to Investors	Most Directly Comparable IFRS Measure

Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS
Net earnings or loss including dividends declared on preference shares but excluding the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue, amortization of other identifiable intangible assets, other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, other finance costs or income, our share of post-tax earnings or losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. The post-tax amount of each item is excluded from adjusted earnings based on the specific tax rules and tax rates associated with the nature and jurisdiction of each item.	Provides a more comparable basis to analyze earnings. These measures are commonly used by shareholders to measure performance.	Net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share
Adjusted EPS is calculated from adjusted earnings using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders.

Effective tax rate on adjusted earnings
Adjusted tax expense divided by pre-tax adjusted earnings. Adjusted tax expense is computed as income tax (benefit) expense plus or minus the income tax impacts of all items impacting adjusted earnings (as described above), and other tax items impacting comparability.	Provides a basis to analyze the effective tax rate associated with adjusted earnings.	Tax (expense) benefit

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

Net debt and leverage ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA
Net debt: Total indebtedness (excluding the associated unamortized transaction costs and premiums or discount) plus the currency related fair value of associated hedging instruments, and lease liabilities 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)

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA: Net debt is divided by adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period ending with the current fiscal quarter.	Provides a commonly used measure of a company’s ability to pay its debt. Our non-IFRS measure is aligned with the calculation of our internal target and is more conservative than the maximum ratio allowed under the contractual covenants in our credit facility.	For adjusted EBITDA, refer to the definition above for the most directly comparable IFRS measure

How We Define It	Why We Use It and Why It Is Useful to Investors	Most Directly Comparable IFRS Measure

Free cash flow
Net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from disposals of property and equipment, and other investing activities, less capital expenditures, payments of lease principal and dividends paid on our preference shares.	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 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 and ratios: ^● Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin ^● Adjusted EPS Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, we conduct 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.	Provides better comparability of business trends from period to period.	For each non-IFRS measure and ratio, refer to the definitions above for the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Changes in revenues computed on an “organic” basis
Represent changes in revenues of our existing businesses at constant currency. The metric excludes the distortive impacts of acquisitions and dispositions from not owning the business in both comparable periods. ^● For acquisitions, we calculate organic growth as though we had owned the acquired business in both periods. We compare revenues for the acquired business for the period we owned the business to the same prior-year period revenues for that business, when we did not own it. ^● For dispositions, we calculate organic growth as though we did not own the business in either period. We exclude revenues of the disposed business from the point of disposition, as well as revenues from the same prior-year period before the sale.	Provides further insight into the performance of our existing businesses by excluding distortive impacts and serves as a better measure of our ability to grow our business over the long term.	Revenues

“Big 3” segments
Our combined Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax & Accounting Professionals segments. All measures reported for the “Big 3” segments are non-IFRS financial measures.	The “Big 3” segments comprise approximately 80% of revenues and represent the core of our business information service product offerings.	Revenues Earnings (loss) from continuing operations

Reconciliation of weighted-average diluted shares used in adjusted EPS

Because we reported a net loss from continuing operations under IFRS for the three months ended June 30, 2022, the weighted-average number of common shares used for basic and diluted loss per share is the same for all per share calculations in the period, as the effect of stock options and other equity incentive awards would reduce the loss per share, and therefore be anti-dilutive. Since our non-IFRS measure “adjusted earnings” is a profit, potential common shares are included, as they lower adjusted EPS and are therefore dilutive.

The following table reconciles IFRS and non-IFRS common share information:

Revenues - Our revenues do not tend to be significantly impacted by seasonality as we record a large portion of our revenues ratably over a contract term. However, our revenues from quarter to consecutive quarter can be impacted by the release of certain tax products, which tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter and, to a lesser extent, in the first quarter of the year. As most of our business is conducted in U.S. dollars, foreign currency had a minimal impact on our revenues, except in the third and fourth quarters of 2022 when a significant strengthening in the U.S. dollar caused a moderate decrease to our revenues. Divestitures negatively impacted our revenues in the second quarter of 2023, despite increases from acquisitions.

Operating profit - Our operating profit does not tend to be significantly impacted by seasonality, as most of our operating expenses are fixed. As a result, when our revenues increase, we generally become more profitable, and when our revenues decline, we generally become less profitable. The second quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022 included gains from the sale of certain non-core businesses. In 2022 and 2021, our operating profit was impacted by the timing of costs associated with our Change Program, as well as benefits stemming from the Program.

Net earnings (loss) – Our net earnings (loss) have been significantly impacted by our investment in LSEG. The second and first quarters of 2023 and the first and fourth quarters of 2022 reflected increases in the value of our LSEG investment, while the second quarter of 2022 and third and fourth quarters of 2021 reflected decreases in the value of our LSEG investment. While the third quarter of 2022 also included a significant reduction in the value of our LSEG investment, the reduction was virtually all due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, which was mitigated by gains on foreign exchange contracts related to a portion of the investment, which is denominated in British pound sterling.

Appendix D

Guarantor Supplemental Financial Information

The following tables set forth consolidating summary financial information in connection with the full and unconditional guarantee by Thomson Reuters Corporation and three U.S. subsidiary guarantors, which are also indirect 100%-owned and consolidated subsidiaries of Thomson Reuters Corporation (referred to as the Guarantor Subsidiaries), of any debt securities issued by TR Finance LLC under a trust indenture to be entered into between Thomson Reuters Corporation, TR Finance LLC, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Computershare Trust Company of Canada and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. TR Finance LLC is an indirect 100%-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters Corporation and was formed with the sole purpose of issuing debt securities. TR Finance LLC has no significant assets or liabilities, as well as no subsidiaries or ongoing business operations of its own. The ability of TR Finance LLC to pay interest, premiums, operating expenses and to meet its debt obligations will depend upon the credit support of Thomson Reuters Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this management’s discussion and analysis for additional information.

The tables below contain condensed consolidating financial information for the following:

^●

Parent – Thomson Reuters Corporation, the direct or indirect owner of all of its subsidiaries

^●

Subsidiary Issuer – TR Finance LLC

^●

Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis

^●

Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries – Other subsidiaries of Thomson Reuters Corporation on a combined basis that will not guarantee TR Finance LLC debt securities

^●

Eliminations – Consolidating adjustments

^●

Thomson Reuters on a consolidated basis

The Guarantor Subsidiaries referred to above are comprised of the following indirect 100%-owned and consolidated subsidiaries of Thomson Reuters Corporation:

^●

Thomson Reuters Applications Inc., which operates part of the Company’s Legal Professionals, Tax & Accounting Professionals and Corporates businesses;

^●

Thomson Reuters (Tax & Accounting) Inc., which operates part of the Company’s Tax & Accounting Professionals and Corporates businesses; and

^●

West Publishing Corporation, which operates part of the Company’s Legal Professionals, Corporates and Global Print businesses.

Thomson Reuters Corporation accounts for its investments in subsidiaries using the equity method for purposes of the condensed consolidating financial information. Where subsidiaries are members of a consolidated tax filing group, Thomson Reuters Corporation allocates income tax expense pursuant to the tax sharing agreement among the members of the group, including application of the percentage method whereby members of the consolidated group are reimbursed for losses when they occur, regardless of the ability to use such losses on a standalone basis. We believe that this allocation is a systematic, rational approach for allocation of income tax balances. Adjustments necessary to consolidate the Parent, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are reflected in the “Eliminations” column.

This basis of presentation is not intended to present the financial position of Thomson Reuters Corporation and the results of its operations for any purpose other than to comply with the specific requirements for guarantor reporting and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our 2022 annual consolidated financial statements, as well as our 2022 annual management’s discussion and analysis included in our 2022 annual report.

The following condensed consolidating financial information is provided in compliance with the requirements of Section 13.4 of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations providing for an exemption for certain credit support issuers. Thomson Reuters Corporation has also elected to provide the following supplemental financial information in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation S-X, as adopted by the SEC and set forth in SEC Release No. 33-10762.

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 serves professionals across legal, tax, accounting, compliance, government, and media. Its products combine highly specialized software and insights to empower professionals with the data, intelligence, and solutions needed to make informed decisions, and to help institutions in their pursuit of justice, truth and transparency. Reuters, part of Thomson Reuters, is a world leading provider of trusted journalism and news.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on August 1, 2023.

Basis of preparation

The 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, 2022. The interim financial statements comply 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 more judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements have been disclosed in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment caused by rising interest rates, high inflation, and ongoing geopolitical risks, most notably the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. The Company is closely monitoring the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions to assess potential impacts on its businesses. Due to the significant uncertainty created by these circumstances, some of management’s estimates and judgments may be more variable and may change materially in the future.

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. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s 2022 annual report.

References to “$” are to U.S. dollars, references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars and references to “£” are to British pounds sterling.

Recent accounting amendments

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12

Income Taxes

. The amendments require an exception to IAS 12, whereby an entity does not recognize or disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities specifically related to tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Organization for Economic

Co-operation

and Development’s international tax reform recommendations known as the Pillar Two model rules. The Company has applied the exception which was effective upon the issuance of the amendments.

Updates issued by the IASB that are not applicable or consequential to the Company have been excluded from the discussion above.

Page 48

Reuters

News revenues included $6 million (2022 - $6 million) and $12 million (2022 - $12 million) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily from content-related services that it provided to the Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax & Accounting Professionals segments.

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 defined below and may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Segment Adjusted

EBITDA

●

Segment adjusted EBITDA represents earnings or loss from continuing operations before tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, other finance costs or income, depreciation, amortization of software and other identifiable intangible assets, the Company’s share of

post-tax

earnings or losses in equity method investments, other operating gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, corporate related items and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue.

●

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

●

Each segment includes an allocation of costs, based on usage or other applicable measures, for centralized support services such as technology, customer service, commercial policy, facilities management, and product and content development. Additionally, product costs are allocated when one segment sells products managed by another segment.

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 the contract term and its costs are generally incurred evenly throughout the year. However, the Company’s revenues from quarter to consecutive quarter can be impacted by the release of certain tax products, which tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter and, to a lesser extent, in the first quarter of the year. The timing of costs related to the Change Program impacted the seasonality of the Company’s expenses and operating profit in 2022.

Note 5: Operating Expenses

The components of operating expenses include the following:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

	2023		2022		2023		2022
Salaries, commissions and allowances		565		601		1,152		1,194
Share-based payments		18		26		43		47

Fair value adjustments (2)		1		(12)		5		(5)
Total operating expenses		990		1,041		2,064		2,122

(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 gains or losses on intercompany balances that arise in the ordinary course of business due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included $30 million and $64 million, respectively, related to the Change Program, which transitioned Thomson Reuters from a holding company to an operating company, and from a content provider into a content-driven technology company.

December 31, 2022.

Page 49

Note 6: Other Operating Gains, Net

Other operating gains, net, were $347 million and $364 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Both periods included a $347 million gain on the sale of a majority interest in the Company’s Elite business (see note 7). The six months ended June 30, 2023 also included a $23 million gain on the sale of a Canadian wholly-owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with The Woodbridge Company Limited (“Woodbridge”), the Company’s principal shareholder (see note 20). Other operating gains,

net

, were not significant in either the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company retained a 19.9% minority interest in the business with board representation and will prospectively account for its interest using the equity method of accounting.

The consideration received and the net assets disposed in the transaction were as follows:



	Three and six months ended June 30,

	2023
Consideration received — Cash and cash equivalents		418

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

Net losses (gains) 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 related to foreign exchange contracts that are intended to reduce foreign currency risk on a portion of the Company’s indirect investment in LSEG, which is denominated in British pounds sterling.

Note 9: Equity Method Investments

Equity method investments in the consolidated statement of financial position were comprised of the following:



	June 30,		December 31,

	2023		2022
YPL		3,226		6,028
Other equity method investments		251		171
Total equity method investments		3,477		6,199

Equity method investments were primarily comprised of the Company’s indirect investment in LSEG shares, which it holds through its direct investment in York Parent Limited and its subsidiaries (“YPL”). YPL is an entity jointly owned by the Company, Blackstone’s consortium (comprised of The Blackstone Group and its subsidiaries, and private equity funds affiliated with Blackstone), and certain current LSEG and former members of Refinitiv senior management. The increase in other equity method investments reflects the Company’s 19.9% minority interest in Elite, following the sale of a majority stake in the business in June of 2023 (see note 7).

The investment in LSEG is subject to equity accounting because the LSEG shares are held through YPL, over which the Company has significant influence. As YPL owns only the financial investment in LSEG shares, which the parties intend to sell over time, and is not involved in operating LSEG or the Data & Analytics business of LSEG, the investment in LSEG shares held by YPL is accounted for at fair value, based on the share price of LSEG. As the investment in LSEG is denominated in British pounds sterling, the Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts to mitigate currency risk on its investment (see note 12).

Page 51

the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $

1.6

billion and $

3.9

billion, respectively, related to the transactions described below. Of these amounts,

1.6

billion and $

3.8

billion were received in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in the form of dividends from YPL, which were recorded as a reduction of the Company’s investment and presented as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flow.

●

On January 31, 2023, the Company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 21.2 million LSEG shares they

co-own

through YPL to Microsoft for a fixed U.S. dollar price of $94.50 per share. The Company received approximately $1.0 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 10.5 million shares it indirectly owned. In conjunction with the sale of shares to Microsoft, LSEG amended the terms of contractual

lock-up

provisions previously agreed between LSEG and the Blackstone consortium/Thomson Reuters entities that hold the LSEG shares. Based on agreements the Company has with LSEG and the Blackstone consortium, Thomson Reuters will be able to sell approximately 31 million of its indirectly owned shares in the twelve-month period beginning January 30, 2023, 22 million shares in the twelve-month period beginning January 30, 2024 and 8 million shares after the

lock-up

arrangement terminates on January 29, 2025.

●

On March 8, 2023, the Company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 28 million shares they

co-own

for £71.50 per share through a placing to institutional investors and an offer to retail investors. The Company received approximately $1.3 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 13.6 million shares it indirectly owned, which included approximately $96 million from the settlement of foreign exchange contracts intended to mitigate foreign exchange risk on the investment (see note 12).

●

On May 19, 2023, the Company and Blackstone’s consortium collectively sold 33 million shares they

co-own

for £80.50 per share through a placing to institutional investors and an offer to retail investors. The Company received approximately $1.6 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the 15.3 million shares it indirectly owned, which included approximately $28 million from the settlement of foreign exchange contracts intended to mitigate foreign exchange risk on the investment (see note 12).

●

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, LSEG repurchased 0.6 million and 1.5 million, respectively, of ordinary shares from YPL under an open market buyback program announced by LSEG in August 2022. The Company received proceeds of approximately $27 million and $62 million related to the

approxi

mate

0.3 million and 0.7 million shares it indirectly owned and sold as part of this buyback in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, YPL held a combination of LSEG ordinary shares and LSEG limited-voting ordinary shares (with the shares carrying in aggregate an approximate 18% economic interest and a 11% voting interest in LSEG compared to an approximate 30% economic interest and a 24% voting interest as of December 31, 2022). As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned 32.07% (December 31, 2022 – 42.84%) of YPL and indirectly owned approximately 31.9 million (December 31, 2022 – 72.0 million) LSEG shares. Given the reduction in its ownership in 2023, YPL is only entitled to nominate two

non-executive

directors

to the board of LSEG

, rather than three. As such,

Thomson Reuters is no longer entitled to nominate a representative to the board of LSEG.

The Company’s share of

post-tax

earnings (losses) in equity method investments as reported in the consolidated income statement is comprised of the

following:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

	2023		2022		2023		2022
YPL		421		(822)		995		(23)
Other equity method investments		(2)		(3)		(6)		(4)
Total share of post-tax earnings (losses) in equity method investments		419		(825)		989		(27)

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, share of

post-tax

earnings in equity method investments primarily reflected an increase in value of the LSEG investment, of which $220 million related to a higher share price and $113

million related to foreign exchange gains. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, share of post-tax earnings in equity method investments primarily reflected an increase in value of the LSEG investment, of which

$692 million related to a higher share price and $278 million related to foreign exchange gains. A loss of $77 million on a forward contract relating to the agreement to sell LSEG shares to Microsoft for a fixed price was also included. Both periods included $45 million of dividend income from its LSEG investment.

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, share of

post-tax

losses in equity method investments included a decrease in value of the LSEG investment of which $319 million related to a decrease in the LSEG share price and $565 million related to foreign exchange losses. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, share of

post-tax

losses in equity method investments reflected a decrease in value of the LSEG investment of which $689 million related to an increase in the LSEG share price, which was more than offset by $774 million of foreign exchange losses. Both periods also included $62

million of dividend income from its LSEG investment.

Represents the cumulative impact of equity transactions excluded from the Company’s investment in YPL. The Company recognized income of $43 million and $57 million within “Share of

post-tax

earnings in equity method investments” in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in conjunction with the reduction of its investment.

See note 20 for related party transactions with YPL and Elite.

Note 10: Taxation

Tax expense (benefit) was $219 million and $(92) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and included $97 million (2022

- $(209) million) of tax expense (benefit) related to the Company’s earnings (loss) in equity method investments. Tax expense was $415 million and $148 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and included $233 million (2022- $(17) million) of tax expense (benefit) related to the Company’s earnings (loss) in equity method investments.

Both periods in 2023 included $78 million of expense related to the sale of a majority stake in Elite, as well as $24 million of benefits from the release of reserves for uncertain tax reserves upon the settlement of a tax audit.

Additionally, tax expense (benefit) 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 (benefit) for the full

year.

Page 53

Note 11: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share was calculated by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders less dividends declared on preference shares by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 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”).

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



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

	2023		2022		2023		2022
Earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders		894		(115)		1,650		892
Less: Dividends declared on preference shares		(2)		-		(3)		(1)
Earnings (loss) used in consolidated earnings (loss) per share		892		(115)		1,647		891
Less: (Earnings) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax		(5)		44		(24)		55
Earnings (loss) used in earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations		887		(71)		1,623		946

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



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

	2023		2022		2023		2022
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding		469,605,944		486,892,062		471,344,081		486,639,796
Weighted-average number of vested DSUs		150,924		279,338		151,829		289,885
Basic		469,756,868		487,171,400		471,495,910		486,929,681
Effect of stock options and TRSUs		625,732		-		1,013,120		784,132
Diluted		470,382,600		487,171,400		472,509,030		487,713,813

The impact of the share reduction from the return of capital and share consolidation transaction in June 2023 (see note 16) was factored into the weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date of the transaction.

Because the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022, the weighted-average number of common shares used for basic and diluted loss per share is the same for all per share calculations in the period, as the effect of stock options and other equity incentive awards would reduce the loss per share, and therefore be anti-

dilutive.

(1)	Includes lease liabilities of $53 million (2022 - $56 million).

(2)	Includes lease liabilities of $177 million (2022 - $179 million).

(3)	Includes a commitment to repurchase up to $718 million of shares related to the Company’s automatic share repurchase plan with its broker to repurhcase the Company’s shares during its internal trading blackout period. See note 16.

Cash and cash equivalents

Of total cash and cash equivalents, $93 million and $81 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were held in subsidiaries which have regulatory restrictions, contractual restrictions or operate in countries where exchange controls and other legal restrictions apply and were therefore not available for general use by the Company.

Commercial paper program

The Company’s $2.0 billion commercial paper program provides cost effective and flexible short-term funding. The carrying amount of outstanding commercial paper of $1,840 million is included in “Current indebtedness” within the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $1,048 million).

Page 55

Credit facility

The Company has a $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in November 2027 and may be used to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions or support for its commercial paper program). There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Based on the Company’s current credit ratings, the cost of borrowing under the facility is priced at the Term Secure

Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)/Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURiBOR”)/Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus 102.5 basis points. The Company has the option to request an increase, subject to approval by applicable lenders, in the lenders’ commitments in an aggregate amount of $600 million for a maximum credit facility commitment of $2.6 billion.

The Company guarantees borrowings by its subsidiaries under the credit facility. The Company must also maintain a ratio of net debt as defined in the credit agreement (total debt after swaps less cash and cash equivalents) 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. If the Company were to complete an acquisition with a purchase price of over $500 million, the Company may elect, subject to notification, to temporarily increase the ratio of net debt to EBITDA to 5.0:1 at the end of the quarter within which the transaction closed and for each of the three immediately following fiscal quarters. At the end of that period, the ratio would revert to 4.5:1. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with this covenant as its ratio of net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the terms of its syndicated credit facility, was 1.1:1.

Foreign exchange contracts

The Company has entered into foreign exchange contracts that are intended to reduce foreign currency risk related to a portion of its indirect investment in LSEG, which is denominated in British pounds sterling. On June 7, 2023, the Company settled foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of

£1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) for net proceeds of $28 million in conjunction with the sale of 15.3 million of LSEG shares. On March 23, 2023, the Company settled foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of £1.0 billion ($1.3 billion) for net proceeds of $96 million in conjunction with the sale of 13.6 million of LSEG shares. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had remaining foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of £1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) outstanding. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, losses of $66 million and $135 million (2022 – gains of $242 million and $320 million), respectively

were reported within “Other finance (costs) income” in the consolidated income statement (see note 8) due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar – British pounds sterling exchange rate. These instruments are not related to changes in the LSEG share price. The Company records the foreign exchange contracts at fair value each reporting period. The associated net fair value of these contracts was an asset of $49 million (December 31, 2022 asset of $309 million) and were recorded within other financial assets and liabilities, current or long-term as appropriate, in the consolidated statement of financial position. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s interest in LSEG shares had a market value of approximately $3.4 billion, based on LSEG’s share price on that day (December 31, 2022 - $6.2 billion).

Fair Value

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, 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 “Current indebtedness” or “Long-term indebtedness” and the carrying amounts of derivative instruments are included in “Other financial assets” and “Other financial liabilities”, current or

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 is estimated based upon discounted cash flows using applicable current market rates and considering

non-performance

risk.

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).

Page 57

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:

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

(5)	Obligations to pay additional consideration for prior acquisitions, based upon performance measures contractually agreed at the time of purchase.

The receivable from the indemnification arrangement is a level 3 in the fair value measurement hierarchy. The increase in the receivable between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 primarily reflected fair value gains based on interest rates associated with the indemnifying party’s credit profile and foreign exchange gains, which are included within “Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax”, in the consolidated income statement.

The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the fair value measurement hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels for the six months ended June 30,

2023.

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

●

The fair value of other receivables considers estimated future cash flows, current market interest rates and

non-performance

risk; and

●

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

Note 16: Capital

Return of Capital and Share Consolidation

In June 2023, the Company returned

approximately

$2.0 billion to its shareholders through a return of capital transaction, which was funded from the proceeds of the Company’s dispositions of LSEG shares (see note 9). The transaction consisted of a cash distribution of $4.67 per common share and a share consolidation, or “reverse stock split”, at a ratio of 1

pre-consolidated

share for 0.963957 post-consolidated shares.

Shareholders who were subject to income tax in a jurisdiction other than Canada were given the opportunity to opt-out of the transaction.

The share consolidation was proportional to the cash distribution and the share consolidation ratio was based on the volume weighted-average trading price of the shares on the NYSE for the five-trading day period immediately preceding June 23, 2023, the effective date for the return of capital transaction. Woodbridge, our principal shareholder, participated in this transaction. As a result of the share consolidation, the Company’s outstanding common shares were reduced by

15.8 million common

shares.

Share repurchases – Normal Course Issuer

Bid

(“NCIB”)

The Company buys back shares (and subsequently cancels them) from time to time as part of its capital strategy. In June 2022, the Company announced a plan to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common shares. The Company completed this program in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Details of share repurchases were as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

Dividends

Dividends on common shares are declared in U.S. dollars. In the consolidated statement of cash flow, dividends paid on common shares are shown net of amounts reinvested in the Company under its dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Due to administrative complexities, the Company temporarily suspended its DRIP for any dividend payable in advance of the return of capital transaction, and paid such dividends in cash. The Company resumed the DRIP after the completion of the return of capital transaction.

Details of dividends declared per common share and dividends paid on common shares are as follows:

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid $87 million related to notices of assessment under the Diverted Profit Tax regime, of which $28 million was paid directly to HMRC and $59 million was paid to LSEG under an indemnity arrangement. LSEG remitted the payments it received under the indemnity to HMRC on the Company’s behalf. The payments made directly to HMRC were included as income taxes paid in the consolidated statement of cash flow. The payments made to LSEG were presented in operating activities from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of cash flow and were not included as taxes paid. See note 19.

Note 18: Acquisitions

Acquisitions primarily comprise the purchase of all the equity interests of the businesses acquired, which are integrated into existing operations of the Company to broaden its offerings to customers as well as its presence in global markets. The results of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisitions also include investments in businesses in which the Company does not have a controlling interest.

Purchase price allocation

Purchase price allocations related to certain acquisitions may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuations. The activity in the three months ended June

, 2023 reflects the completion of the SurePrep LLC valuation. The details of net assets acquired were as follows:

Goodwill		(114)		142		345		142
Total		-		153		513		153

The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and reflects synergies and the value of the acquired workforce. Relative to the acquisition completed in 2023, the majority of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and for acquisitions completed in 2022, the majority of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Other

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

Note 19: Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees

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, employment matters, commercial matters, defamation claims and intellectual property infringement claims. 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.

Page 62

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. When appropriate, the Company performs an expected value calculation to determine its provisions. 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.

Through June 30, 2023, the Company paid $456 million of tax as required under notices of assessment issued by the U.K. tax authority, HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), under the Diverted Profits Tax (“DPT”) regime that collectively related to the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 taxation years of certain of its current and former U.K. affiliates. As the Company does not believe these current and former U.K. affiliates fall within the scope of the DPT regime, it will continue contesting these assessments through all available administrative and judicial remedies and intends to vigorously defend its position. Payments made by the Company are not a reflection of its view on the merits of the case. As the assessments largely relate to businesses that the Company has sold, the majority are subject to indemnity arrangements under which the Company has been required to pay additional taxes to HMRC or the indemnity counterparty.

Because the Company believes that its position is supported by the weight of law, it does not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition taken as a whole. As the Company expects to receive refunds of substantially all of the aggregate of amounts paid pursuant to these notices of assessment, it expects to continue recording substantially all of these payments as

non-current

receivables from HMRC or the indemnity counterparty on its financial statements.

Commitments

In June 2023, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Casetext for $650

million. Casetext uses artificial intelligence and machine learning which enables legal professionals to work more efficiently. The Company expects the acquisition to close by the end of 2023, subject to specified regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Guarantees

The Company has an investment in 3XSQ Associates, an entity jointly owned by a subsidiary of the Company and Rudin Times Square Associates LLC (“Rudin”), that owns and operates the 3 Times Square office building (“the building”) in New York, New York. In June 2022, 3XSQ Associates obtained a $415 million,

3-year

term loan facility to refinance existing debt, fund the building’s redevelopment, and cover interest and operating costs during the redevelopment period. The building is pledged as loan collateral. Thomson Reuters and Rudin each guarantee 50% of (i) certain principal loan amounts and (ii) interest and operating costs. Thomson Reuters and Rudin also jointly and severally guarantee (i) completion of commenced works and (ii) lender losses arising from disallowed acts, environmental or otherwise. To minimize economic exposure to 50% for the joint and several obligations, Thomson Reuters and a parent entity of Rudin entered into a cross-indemnification arrangement. The Company believes the value of the building is expected to be sufficient to cover obligations that could arise from the guarantees. The guarantees do not impact the Company’s ability to borrow funds under its $2.0 billion syndicated credit facility or the related covenant calculation.

Note 20: Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s principal shareholder, Woodbridge, beneficially owned approximately 69% of the Company’s common shares.

Transaction with Woodbridge

In March 2023, the Company sold a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary to a company affiliated with Woodbridge for $23 million. The subsidiary’s assets consisted of accumulated tax losses that management did not expect to utilize against future taxable income prior to their expiry based on currently enacted Canadian tax law. 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 $23 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 Woodbridge was reasonable. After reviewing the matter, the Corporate Governance Committee approved the transaction. Directors who were not considered independent because of their positions with Woodbridge refrained from deliberating and voting on the matter at the committee

meeting.

Page 63

Transactions with YPL

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $3.8 billion of dividends from YPL primarily related to the sale of LSEG shares indirectly owned by the Company. See note 9 for further details about these transactions.

Transactions with Elite

In June 2023, the Company sold a majority interest in its Elite business to TPG and retained a 19.9% minority interest with board representation. To facilitate the separation, the Company agreed to provide certain operational services to Elite, including technology and administrative services, for a specified period. From the date of the sale through June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $2 million as contra-expense related to these transactions.

Except for the above transactions, there were no new significant related party transactions during the first six months of 2023. Refer to “Related party transactions” disclosed in note 31 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s 2022 annual report, for information regarding related party transactions.

Note 21: Subsequent Events

Acquisition

In July 2023, the Company acquired Imagen Ltd, a media asset management company, which will be part of the Reuters News segment. The Company is in the process of allocating the purchase consideration to the assets and liabilities assumed for accounting

purposes.
