The Fraud Incident involved employee impersonation and fraudulent requests targeting TransUnion Limited, which resulted in a series of fraudulently-induced unauthorized wire transfers totaling $17.8 million in early July 2019 that is included in other income and (expense), net, on our Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, through September 30, 2019, we have incurred $1.8 million of administrative expenses investigating the Fraud Incident and enhancing our controls that is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, for a total of $19.7 million that is included in income before income taxes. The tax benefit of these expenses was $3.3 million, for a net after tax loss of $16.4 million, of which $7.1 million is attributable to the non-controlling interest and $9.3 million is attributable to TransUnion. There was no impact on Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Net Income as the net impact of the Fraud Incident was added back to these non-GAAP financial measures as presented in the tables below.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCash and cash equivalents were $236 million at September 30, 2019 and $187 million at December 31, 2018. Total debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, was $3,740 million at September 30, 2019 and $4,048 million at December 31, 2018.For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 cash provided by continuing operations was $588 million compared with $410 million in 2018. The increase was due primarily to the increase in operating performance, partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from the increase in outstanding debt due to our 2018 acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities was $155 million compared with $1,927 million in 2018, due primarily to lower cash used for acquisitions and proceeds from the sale of the Callcredit discontinued operations, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $132 million compared with $118 million in 2018. Cash used in financing activities was $373 million compared with a source of cash of $1,634 million in 2018. The change in cash from financing activities is due primarily to the loan proceeds borrowed in 2018 to fund our acquisitions, partially offset by $265 million of prepayments made on our outstanding debt in 2019, $38 million of cash used to pay employee withholding taxes on restricted stock that vested during the year that we have recorded as treasury stock, and one additional quarterly dividend payment made in 2019 compared with 2018.2019 Full Year OutlookFor the full year of 2019, we are raising our Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance as follows. Adjusted Revenue is expected to be between $2.644 billion and $2.649 billion, an increase of 13 percent compared with 2018. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $1.048 billion and $1.052 billion, an increase of 14 to 15 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $2.74 and $2.76, an increase of 10 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance includes an approximate $0.04 per share headwind from unfavorable foreign exchange rates and an approximate $0.14 per share headwind from the full year impact of higher interest expenses related to the additional debt for acquisitions completed in June 2018 and higher LIBOR rates in 2019 compared with 2018.The Adjusted Revenue guidance includes approximately 500 basis points of growth from acquisitions that closed in the prior year and current year. Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA include approximately 100 basis points of headwind from foreign exchange rates. Our prior year results included approximately $20 million of incremental monitoring revenue due to a breach at a competitor which negatively impacts our organic constant currency Adjusted Revenue growth by approximately 100 basis points.2019 Fourth Quarter OutlookFor the fourth quarter of 2019, Adjusted Revenue is expected to be between $667 million and $672 million, an increase of 7 to 8 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $264 million and $268 million, an increase of 6 to 8 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $0.69 and $0.71, an increase of 5 to 7 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share includes an approximate $0.01 headwind in total from unfavorable foreign exchange rates.The Adjusted Revenue guidance includes approximately 50 basis points of growth from acquisitions that closed in the current year. Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA include approximately 100 basis points of headwind from foreign exchange rates. Our prior year results included approximately $5 million of incremental monitoring revenue due to a breach at a competitor, which negatively impacts our organic constant currency Adjusted Revenue growth by approximately 100 basis points.Earnings Webcast DetailsIn conjunction with this release, TransUnion will host a conference call and webcast today at 8:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss the business results for the quarter and certain forward-looking information.

While not all of the information that the Company posts to the TransUnion Investor Relations website is of a material nature, some information could be deemed to be material. Accordingly, the Company encourages investors, the media, and others interested in TransUnion to review the information that it shares on www.transunion.com/tru.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis earnings release presents constant currency growth rates assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents organic constant currency growth rates, which assumes consistent foreign currency exchange rates between years and also eliminates the impact of our recent acquisitions. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impacts of recent acquisitions.This earnings release also presents Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for all periods presented. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of revenue because we believe it provides a basis to compare revenue between periods. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours. Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA as compensation measures. Under the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to a ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA. These financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income (loss) attributable to the Company, earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached Schedules.We define Adjusted Revenue as GAAP revenue adjusted for certain acquisition-related deferred revenue and non-core contract-related revenue as further discussed in the footnotes of the attached Schedules 1, 2, and 3. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we no longer have these adjustments to revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus (less) loss (income) from discontinued operations, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions,  divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income). We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus (less) loss (gain) from discontinued operations, plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income), plus amortization of certain intangible assets, plus or minus the related changes in provision for income taxes, less any one-time tax provision benefits from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The above definitions apply to our calculations for the periods shown on schedules 1 through 6.Forward-Looking StatementsThis earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

(dollars in millions)
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated using segment gross Adjusted Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated using consolidated Adjusted Revenue and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the tables above and footnotes below.This adjustment represents certain non-cash adjustments related to acquired entities, predominantly adjustments to increase revenue resulting from purchase accounting reductions to deferred revenue we record on the opening balance sheets of acquired entities. Deferred revenue results when a company receives payment in advance of fulfilling their performance obligations under contracts. Business combination accounting rules require us to record deferred revenue of acquired entities at fair value if we are obligated to perform any future services under these contracts. The fair value of this deferred revenue is determined based on the direct and indirect incremental costs of fulfilling our performance obligations under these contracts, plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this fair value calculation results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance. The above adjustment includes an estimate for the increase in revenue equal to the difference between what the acquired entities would have recorded as revenue and the lower revenue we record as a result of the reduced deferred revenue balance. This increase is partially offset by an estimated decrease to revenue for certain acquired non-core customer contracts that are not classified as discontinued operations that will expire within approximately one year from the date of acquisition. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we no longer have these adjustments to revenue. We present Adjusted Revenue as a supplemental measure of our revenue because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our revenue and provides a basis to compare revenue between periods.
