Includes acquired deferred revenue of nil (2025 - $10 million) and nil (2025 - $20 million) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

Reuters revenues included $6 million (2025 - $5 million) and $17 million (2025 - $11 million) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily from content-related services that it provided to the Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & 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. The profitability measure is 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 or losses, certain asset impairment charges, corporate related items and fair value adjustments, including those related to acquired deferred revenue (see note 16).
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-related services, commercial operations, marketing costs, and product and content development. Additionally, product costs are allocated when one segment sells products managed by another segment. Corporate costs, which includes expenses for centrally managed functions such as finance, legal, human resources and the executive office, are not allocated to the segments.
