India delivered modest 5% organic growth with flat reported revenue of $69 million, while Latin America remained steady and Asia Pacific declined 8%. International adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $112 million, reflecting modest organic growth of 3%.

Outlook

TransUnion ( TRU ) expects fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.97 to $1.02, aligning with the analyst consensus of $0.99. The company anticipates sales of $1.12 billion to $1.14 billion, exceeding the $1.11 billion estimate.

For full-year 2025, TransUnion ( TRU ) raised its adjusted EPS forecast to $4.19–$4.25, up from the previous range of $4.03–$4.14, and slightly above the analyst estimate of $4.18.

Revenue guidance was also lifted to $4.52 billion–$4.54 billion, compared with the prior range of $4.43 billion–$4.47 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.48 billion.

CEO Commentary

Chris Cartwright, president and CEO, stated, “In the third quarter, TransUnion ( TRU ) delivered strong results that again exceeded financial guidance. Revenue growth was 8%; excluding last year’s large breach remediation win, organic constant currency growth was 11%, our strongest underlying growth since 2021.”

“Financial Services and Emerging Verticals growth accelerated to 19% and 7.5%, respectively. International grew 6% on an organic constant currency basis, with double-digit growth in the UK, Canada and Africa,” Cartwright added.
