Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In the TransUnion parent company only financial statements, the Company’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. The Company’s share of net income of its subsidiaries is included in consolidated income using the equity method. The parent company only financial information should be read in conjunction with TransUnion’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Note 2. Income Tax
TransUnion entered into an intercompany tax allocation agreement with TransUnion Intermediate Holdings, Inc. in 2013, effective for all taxable periods from May 1, 2012, forward, in which they are members of the same consolidated federal or state tax groups. The agreement allocates the consolidated tax liability from those filings among the various members of the group.
Note 3. Dividends to Stockholders
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we declared dividends of $0.46, $0.42 and $0.42 per share, respectively. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid dividends of $90.5 million, $82.7 million and $81.8 million, respectively. Dividends declared accrue to outstanding restricted stock units and are paid to employees as dividend equivalents when the restricted stock units vest.
Note 4. Share Repurchase Plan
On February 11, 2025, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Plan”). On October 22, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the 2025 Repurchase Plan authorization to $1.0 billion (including amounts repurchased as of such date under the original 2025 Repurchase Plan). Repurchases may be made from time to time at management’s discretion, at prices management considers to be attractive, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, hybrid open market repurchases or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, subject to availability. Open market purchases are conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, are at the discretion of management. The 2025 Repurchase Plan does not have an expiration date.
Repurchased shares are retired, resulting in a reduction to common stock at par with the remainder to additional paid-in capital. Once repurchased, the shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company and reduce the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3,577,000 shares of common stock for a total of $302.0 million, including commissions and excise taxes, under the 2025 Repurchase Plan. The average price paid to repurchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $84.45. As of December 31, 2025, $700.1 million remains available for repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.
