Business Description and Basis of Preparation

Business Description and Basis of Preparation

Note 1: Business Description and Basis of Preparation

General business description

Thomson Reuters Corporation (the “Company” or “Thomson Reuters”) is an Ontario, Canada corporation with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Series II preference shares listed on the TSX. The Company is a leading provider of business information services. The Company’s products include highly specialized information-enabled software and tools for legal, tax, accounting and compliance professionals combined with the world’s most global news service - Reuters.

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 3, 2022.

Change Program

In February 2021, the Company announced a

two-year

Change Program to transition from a holding company to an operating company, and from a content provider into a content-driven technology company (see note 5).

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, 2021. 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, 2021.

The Company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Inflation has surged, labor markets remain tight, and the global economy is experiencing substantial disruption due to the Russian military invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing impacts from

COVID-19

and associated supply chain challenges. Central banks in Canada, the U.S., and many other markets have begun to raise interest rates to combat inflation, which is impacting economic activity in certain markets. 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, 2021, which are included in the Company’s 2021 annual report.

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

Revision to Segment Results

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company made two changes to its segment reporting to reflect how it currently manages its businesses. The changes (i) reflect the transfer of certain revenues from its Corporates business to its Tax & Accounting Professionals business where they are better aligned; and (ii) record intercompany revenue in Reuters News for content-related services that it provides to Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax & Accounting Professionals. Previously, these services had been reported as a transfer of expense from Reuters News to these businesses. These changes impact the financial results of the Company’s segments, but do not change the Company’s consolidated financial results. The table below summarizes the changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 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, fair value adjustments, and corporate related items.

●

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.

Seasonality	6 Months Ended
Seasonality	Jun. 30, 2022
Text block [abstract]
Seasonality	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 and 2021.

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

Note 8: Equity Method Investments

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”), formerly Refinitiv Holdings Ltd. (“RHL”). 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, YPL held a combination of LSEG ordinary shares and LSEG limited-voting ordinary shares (with the shares carrying in aggregate an approximate 30% economic interest and a 24% voting interest in LSEG). At the same dates, the Company owned 42.82% of YPL and indirectly owned approximately 72.4 million LSEG shares.

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 Refinitiv 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 a series of foreign exchange contracts to mitigate currency risk on its investment (see note 12).

The Company’s share of

post-tax

(losses) earnings 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,

	2022		2021		2022		2021
YPL		(822)		1,090		(23)		7,385
Other equity method investments		(3)		2		(4)		4
Total share of post-tax (losses) earnings in equity method investments		(825)		1,092		(27)		7,389

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

post-tax

losses in equity method investments included an

$884 m

illion decrease in the 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 an $85 million decrease in the value of the LSEG investment, which included an increase of $689 million due 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.

In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s share of

post-tax

earnings in equity method investments was primarily comprised of a $1,039 million increase in the value of its LSEG investment. The six months ended June 30, 2021 was comprised of an $8,075 million gain from the sale of Refinitiv, in which the Company owned a 45% interest, to LSEG which was partially offset by a $573 million decline in the value of its LSEG investment after the sale and $168 million of

post-tax

losses related to the Refinitiv operations prior to the sale. Both periods included $51 million of dividend income from the Company’s LSEG investment. Additionally, as permitted under a

lock-up

exception, approximately 10.1 million of the Company’s LSEG shares were sold in March 2021 for

pre-tax

net proceeds of $994 million. The proceeds from the sale of the shares by YPL were distributed to the Company as a dividend that reduced the value of the investment. The proceeds were presented in “Net cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities” in the consolidated statement of cash flow.

The composition of equity method investments as reported in the consolidated statement of financial position is comprised of the following:



	June 30,		December 31,

	2022		2021
YPL		6,489		6,574

Taxation	Note 9: Taxation Tax (benefit) expense was $(92) million and $289 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and included $(209) million (2021 – $262 million) of tax (benefit) expense related to the Company’s (loss) earnings in equity method investments. Tax expense was $148 million and $1,883 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and included $(17) million (2021 – $1,800 million ) of tax (benefit) expense related to the Company’s (loss) earnings in equity method investments. In the six-month period of 2021, the tax expense related primarily to the gain on sale of Refinitiv to LSEG. Additionally, tax (benefit) expense in each period reflected the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were recognized. Because the geographical mix of pre-tax profits and losses in interim periods may be different from that for the full year, tax expense or benefit in interim periods is not necessarily indicative of tax (benefit) expense for the full year.

Earnings Per Share

Jun. 30, 2022

Earnings per share [abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Note 10: Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share was calculated by dividing (loss) earnings 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”).

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



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

	2022		2021		2022		2021
(Loss) earnings attributable to common shareholders		(115)		1,068		892		6,104
Less: Dividends declared on preference shares		-		-		(1)		(1)
(Loss) earnings used in consolidated (loss) earnings per share		(115)		1,068		891		6,103
Less: Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax		44		4		55		1
(Loss) earnings used in (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations		(71)		1,072		946		6,104

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



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

	2022		2021		2022		2021
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding		486,892,062		495,687,352		486,639,796		495,597,737
Weighted-average number of vested DSUs		279,338		410,886		289,885		418,730
Basic		487,171,400		496,098,238		486,929,681		496,016,467
Effect of stock options and TRSUs		-		1,160,834		784,132		1,093,324
Diluted		487,171,400		497,259,072		487,713,813		497,109,791

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.

(3)	Includes lease liabilities of $193 million (2021 - $197 million).

Cash and cash equivalents

Of total cash and cash equivalents, $75 million and $70 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $1.8 billion commercial paper program provides cost effective and flexible short-term funding. The Company had $50 million of outstanding commercial paper in current indebtedness within the consolidated statement of financial position at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – nil).

Credit facility

The Company has a $1.8 billion syndicated credit facility agreement which matures in December 2024 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 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Based on the Company’s current credit ratings, the cost of borrowing under the facility is priced at LIBOR/EURIBOR plus 112.5 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 $2.4 billion.

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, phased out the majority of LIBOR rates globally at the end of 2021. The Company has no material agreements with third parties that use or reference LIBOR, except for the LIBOR-based benchmarks in the Company’s external credit facility, for which adequate LIBOR benchmarks will remain in effect until June 2023.

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 ratio of net debt to EBITDA would temporarily increase to 5.0:1 for three quarters after completion, at which time the ratio would revert to 4.5:1. As of June 30, 2022, 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 1.6:1.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company has entered 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. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered an additional series of foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of £0.6 billion ($0.7 billion), for a cumulative notional amount of £3.2 billion ($4.2 billion). Gains of $242 million and $320 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, were reported within “Other finance income (costs)” in the consolidated

income statement (see note 7) due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar – British pounds sterling exchange rate. The associated fair value of these contracts was an asset of

$301

million (December 31, 2021 –

$19

million liability) and were recorded within other financial assets or liabilities, current or long-term as appropriate, in the consolidated statement of financial position. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s interest in LSEG shares had a market value of approximately

$6.7

billion, based on LSEG’s share price on that day (December 31, 2021 -

$6.8

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 “Long-term indebtedness” and “Current indebtedness” and the carrying amounts of derivative instruments are included in “Other financial assets” and “Other financial liabilities”, both current and

non-current,

in the consolidated statement of financial position, as appropriate.

Fair Value

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

non-performance

risk.

The following is a summary of debt and related derivative instruments that hedged the cash flows of debt:

Fair value estimation

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

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



June 30, 2022				Total

The increase in the receivable between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 primarily reflected additional payments that are expected to be recovered, net of fair value losses based on interest rates associated with the indemnifying party’s credit profile and foreign exchange losses, which are included within

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 in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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.

Capital

Note 16: Capital

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 that it plans to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common shares. Share repurchases are typically executed under a NCIB. Under the current NCIB, the Company may repurchase up to 24 million common shares between June 13, 2022 and June 12, 2023 in open market transactions on the TSX, the NYSE and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or NYSE or under applicable law, including private agreement purchases if the Company receives an issuer bid exemption order in the future from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for such purchases.

Details of share repurchases were as follows:



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

	2022		2021		2022		2021


Share repurchases (millions of U.S. dollars)		194		-		194		200

Share repurchases - average price per share in U.S. dollars	$	99.71		-	$	99.71	$	81.45

Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price, and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. The Company may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws. From time to time when the Company does not possess material nonpublic information about itself or its securities, it may enter into

an automatic share purchase

plan with its broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered into with the Company’s broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the requirements of Rule

10b5-1

under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company entered into such a plan with its broker on June 30, 2022. As a result, the Company recorded a $400 million liability in “Other financial liabilities” within current liabilities at June 30, 2022 with a corresponding amount recorded in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position (December 31, 2021 – nil).

Dividends

Dividends on common shares are declared in U.S. dollars.

Contingencies	6 Months Ended
Contingencies	Jun. 30, 2022
Disclosure of contingent liabilities [abstract]
Contingencies	Note 19: Contingencies Lawsuits and legal claims The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings, claims, audits and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, 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. As a result, the Company maintains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. These provisions are made using the Company’s best estimates of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. 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. Prior to 2022, the Company paid $379 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. In February 2022, HMRC issued DPT notices aggregating $74 million, which the Company paid in March 2022. These assessments collectively related to the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 taxation years of certain of the Company’s current and former U.K. affiliates. In May 2022, HMRC issued additional DPT notices aggregating $9 million related to the 2016 tax year, which the Company paid . HMRC continues to have the statutory authority to amend the above assessments for the 2017 and 2018 taxation years by issuing DPT supplementary notices for each year. Based on recent discussions with HMRC, management believes that HMRC may issue supplementary notices for these years within the next 12 months that would be almost entirely related to businesses the Company has sold, which are subject to indemnity arrangements. If that occurs, the Company will be required to pay additional taxes to HMRC shortly thereafter that could be as much as $350 million in aggregate (largely related to the 2018 taxation year). 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 (including any amended by HMRC) 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 or will be 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 and potential future payments 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. The Company expects that its existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund any required additional payments if HMRC issues further notices. Guarantees The Company has an investment in 3 Times Square Associates LLC (“3XSQ Associates”), an entity jointly owned by a subsidiary of the Company and Rudin Times Square Associates LLC (“Rudin”), th at 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 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 $1.8 billion syndicated credit facility or the related covenant calculation.

Related Party Transactions	Jun. 30, 2022
Related party transactions [abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Note 20: Related Party Transactions As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s principal shareholder, The Woodbridge Company Limited, beneficially owned approximately 67% of the Company’s common shares. Transactions with 3XSQ Associates The Company follows the equity method of accounting for its investment in 3XSQ Associates. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, Thomson Reuters contributed $10 million in cash pursuant to capital calls and made a $15 million in-kind contribution representing the fair value of guarantees provided in connection with a $415 million loan facility obtained by 3XSQ Associates (see note 19). The Company also paid approximately $4 million of rent to 3XSQ Associates for office space in the building. Transactions with YPL In June 2022, the Company received a dividend of $62 million from YPL, reflecting the Company’s portion of dividends from its LSEG investment (see note 8). Except for the above transactions, there were no new significant related party transactions during the first six months of 2022.
