Second-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.48, unchanged from the prior-year period.

"Our second-quarter performance was consistent with our full-year expectations," said James C. Smith, chief executive officer of Thomson Reuters. "I am pleased with the progress we continue to make despite challenging market conditions, particularly in the banking and legal sectors.

Consolidated Financial Highlights

	Three Months Ended June 30, (Millions of U.S. dollars, except EPS and margins)
IFRS Financial Measures	2013	2012	Change
Revenues	$3,163	$3,272	-3%
Operating profit	$597	$1,297	-54%
Diluted earnings per share (EPS)	$0.30	$1.08	-72%
Cash flow from operations	$904	$855	6%

The declines in operating profit and diluted earnings per share were primarily due to significantly higher prior-year gains related to divestitures, which were $789 million in the second quarter of 2012 versus $142 million in the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter 2012 divestitures included the company's Healthcare business and second-quarter 2013 divestitures included the company's Corporate Services business. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2013, the company recorded a $161 million tax charge reflecting its continued efforts to achieve greater efficiencies through simplification and consolidation of its technology and content assets.

• Revenues from ongoing businesses were $3.1 billion, a 2% increase before currency.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% and the corresponding margin was 27.6% versus 27.2% in the prior-year period.
• Underlying operating profit was up slightly and the corresponding margin was 18.3% versus 18.4% in the prior-year period. A $20 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense had a 50 basis point impact on the margin.
• Adjusted EPS was $0.48, unchanged from the prior-year period. Higher depreciation and amortization and interest expenses were offset by an improvement in EBITDA and a lower effective tax rate.

Second-Quarter Business Segment Highlights

Unless otherwise noted, all revenue growth comparisons in this news release are before the impact of foreign currency as Thomson Reuters believes this provides the best basis to measure the performance of its business.

Financial & Risk

• Revenues were down 1% as growth of 13% in Governance, Risk & Compliance and strength across the transaction-based businesses was offset by declining subscription revenues driven by the impact of negative net sales over the past 12 months. Organic revenues declined 3%.
• Recurring subscription-related revenues decreased 3% due to negative net sales over the past 12 months. Transactions-related revenues increased 22% (5% organic) primarily due to the acquisition of FXall and growth at Tradeweb. Recoveries revenues were down 4% and Outright revenues increased 2% (down 3% organic).
• By geography, revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were down 4%, revenues in the Americas were up 3% (down 2% organic), while revenues in Asia declined 2%.
• EBITDA was $420 million, unchanged from the prior-year period, with the related margin up 40 basis points to 25.3%, due to cost savings initiatives.
• Operating profit was $260 million, down 5%, with a related margin of 15.7%. Operating profit margin decreased 40 basis points due to higher depreciation and amortization expense ($12 million).
• Eikon desktops totaled approximately 61,000 at the end of the second quarter, up 30% from March 31, 2013.

Trading

• Revenues decreased 6% with growth in Elektron Managed Services offset by legacy desktop cancellations primarily in Equities and Fixed Income.
• Recoveries revenues were down 5%.

Investors

• Revenues declined 1% versus the prior-year period. Enterprise Content revenues increased 9% offset by a 4% decline in Investment Management revenues. Banking & Research and Wealth Management revenues were essentially unchanged.

Marketplaces

• Revenues increased 6% (down 1% organic) driven by the acquisition of FXall and growth of 5% at Tradeweb.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Revenues grew 13% to $59 million due to strong sales growth and continued strong demand.

Legal

• Revenues increased 5% (1% organic). US Law Firm Solutions increased 1% as a 7% increase in Business of Law (FindLaw and Elite) was offset in part by a 1% decline in research-related revenues. Corporate, Government & Academic revenues decreased 1% as a result of continued cost pressures at the federal, state and local levels. Global businesses grew 23% (4% organic) driven by the recent acquisition of Practical Law Company (PLC) in the first quarter of 2013.
• US print revenues declined 7% as firms continued to reduce discretionary spending. Excluding US print, revenues grew 8% (2% organic).
• EBITDA increased 2% and the corresponding margin was 38.5% compared to 39.3% in the prior-year period. The decrease was due to the decline in revenues from the highly profitable print and research-related businesses and the acquisition of PLC.
• Operating profit was up 2% and the corresponding margin was 30.1% compared to 30.9% in the prior-year period. The decline in the margin reflected the same items that impacted EBITDA margin performance.
• 80% of Westlaw revenue has been converted to WestlawNext as of the end of the second quarter.

Tax & Accounting

• Revenues increased 7% (3% organic) driven by continued growth in subscription revenues and strong performance across all of the business segments except Government (5% of total Tax & Accounting revenues).
• EBITDA increased 10% and the related margin grew 130 basis points to 30.2%. Margin expansion was driven by flow-through of higher revenues.
• Operating profit increased 12% and the related margin increased 110 basis points to 19.8%.
• Small movements in the timing of revenues and expenses can impact margins in any given quarter for the Tax & Accounting business. Full-year margins are more reflective of the segment's underlying performance.

Intellectual Property & Science

• Revenues increased 9% (down 1% organic). Growth was driven by the MarkMonitor acquisition. Organic revenue was negatively impacted by softness in transactional revenues and the timing of revenues within the Life Sciences business, which are expected to be stronger in the second half of the year.
• EBITDA margin was 33.8%, a decline of 90 basis points, primarily due to the dilutive impact of the MarkMonitor acquisition and timing of revenues.
• Operating profit was flat with the corresponding margin declining by 210 basis points reflecting the same items that impacted the EBITDA margin.
• Small movements in the timing of revenues and expenses can impact margins in any given quarter for the Intellectual Property & Science business. Full-year margins are more reflective of the segment's underlying performance.

Consolidated Financial Highlights – Six Months

	Six Months Ended June 30, (Millions of U.S. dollars, except EPS and margins)
IFRS Financial Measures	2013	2012	Change
Revenues	$6,338	$6,587	-4%
Operating profit	$987	$1,661	-41%
Diluted earnings per share (EPS)	$0.26	$1.44	-82%
Cash flow from operations	$1,020	$1,122	-9%

The declines in operating profit and diluted earnings per share were primarily due to significantly higher prior-year gains related to divestitures, which were $826 million in the first half of 2012 versus $156 million in the first half of 2013. First-half 2012 divestitures included the company's Healthcare business and first-half 2013 divestitures included the company's Corporate Services business. Additionally, in the first six months of 2013, the company recorded a $396 million tax charge reflecting its continued efforts to achieve greater efficiencies through simplification and consolidation of its technology and content assets.

	Six Months Ended June 30, (Millions of U.S. dollars, except EPS and margins)
Non-IFRS Financial Measures^(1)	2013	2012	Change	Change Before Currency
Revenues from ongoing businesses	$6,205	$6,146	1%	2%
Adjusted EBITDA	$1,615	$1,608	0%	2%
Adjusted EBITDA margin	26.0%	26.2%	-20bp	10bp
Underlying operating profit	$1,031	$1,064	-3%	-1%
Underlying operating profit margin	16.6%	17.3%	-70bp	-40bp
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)	$0.86	$0.87	-1%
Free cash flow	$501	$653	-23%
Free cash flow from ongoing businesses	$459	$540	-15%

• Revenues from ongoing businesses were $6.2 billion, a 2% increase before currency.
• Adjusted EBITDA was up slightly and the corresponding margin was 26.0% versus 26.2% in the prior-year period as higher revenues and cost savings initiatives across the company helped to offset $87 million of severance costs (versus $43 million in the first half of 2012).
• Underlying operating profit was down 3% and the corresponding margin was 16.6% versus 17.3% in the prior-year period due mainly to severance costs and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $40 million. Excluding the impact of severance, underlying operating profit would have grown by 1% with the related margin unchanged at 18.0% compared to the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EPS was $0.86 compared to $0.87 in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher severance costs somewhat offset by a lower effective tax rate. Excluding the impact of severance in both periods, adjusted EPS would have increased by $0.04.
• Free cash flow was $501 million versus $653 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to timing of higher capital expenditures, loss of free cash flow from disposals and working capital requirements. For the full year, the company continues to expect to achieve free cash flow between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion.

Corporate & Other (Including Reuters News)

Reuters News revenues for the second quarter were $82 million, up 2% from the prior-year period. Corporate & Other costs for the quarter were $62 million, down 7% compared to $67 million in the prior-year period.

Business Outlook (Before Currency)

Thomson Reuters today reaffirmed its business outlook for 2013. The company expects:

• revenues to grow low single digits;
• adjusted EBITDA margin to range between 26% and 27%;
• underlying operating profit margin to range between 16.5% and 17.5%; and
• free cash flow to range between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion in 2013.

The company's 2013 Outlook includes the impact of an expected $100 million of severance expense in 2013, $87 million of which was incurred in the first half of the year. The Outlook is based on expectations including adjustments for two new accounting pronouncements as well as the reclassification of certain businesses into disposals. To facilitate comparison with the company's 2013 Outlook, revised 2012 actual results prepared on a comparable basis to that used in 2013 are available in the "Investor Relations" section of www.thomsonreuters.com.

The information in this section is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Material Assumptions and Material Risks." Actual full-year results for 2013 could differ materially from current expectations.

Dividend and Share Repurchases

As previously announced in February 2013, Thomson Reuters increased its 2013 annual dividend by $0.02 per share to $1.30 per share. A quarterly dividend of $0.325 per share is payable on September 16, 2013 to common shareholders of record as of August 22, 2013.

The company has not repurchased any shares year-to-date. In May 2013, the company renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) under which it may repurchase up to 15 million shares.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Thomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures. Thomson Reuters uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its operating performance and financial position. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Footnotes
(1) Prior-period amounts have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits and the adoption of IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements.
(2) Revenues from ongoing businesses are revenues from reportable segments and Corporate & Other (which includes Reuters News) less eliminations. Other Businesses (see note (3) below) are excluded.
(3) Other Businesses are businesses that have been or are expected to be exited through sale or closure that did not qualify for discontinued operations classification.

(4) Thomson Reuters defines adjusted EBITDA as underlying operating profit excluding the related depreciation and amortization of computer software. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
(5) Underlying operating profit is operating profit from reportable segments and Corporate & Other (includes Reuters News). Underlying operating profit margin is the underlying operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing businesses.
(6) Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share include dividends declared on preference shares and amortization of the tax charges associated with the consolidation of technology and content assets but exclude the pre-tax impacts of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as well as the post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, other operating (gains) and losses, certain impairment charges, the results of Other Businesses (see note (3) above), other finance (income) costs, Thomson Reuters share of post-tax (earnings) losses in equity method investments, discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using diluted weighted-average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share attributable to shareholders.
(7) Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective tax rate. Reported earnings or loss for interim periods reflect income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The adjustment reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on full year income taxes.
(8) Reflects amortization of the tax charges associated with the consolidation of the ownership and management of technology and content assets. For the non-IFRS measure, the majority of the charges are amortized over seven years, the period over which the tax is expected to be paid.
(9) Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, other investing activities and dividends paid on the company's preference shares. Other Businesses (see note (3) above) are also removed to arrive at free cash flow from ongoing businesses.
