What stood out

  • Revenue rose 14.9% and beat consensus

    Q2 revenue was $1.310 billion, increasing $169.9 million (14.9%) year over year and approximately $59.6 million (4.8%) from Q1 2026 revenue of $1.250 billion. Revenue exceeded the supplied $1.281 billion consensus estimate by $33.6 million.

  • Operating profit and EPS improved

    GAAP operating income increased $65.8 million (34.2%) to $258.0 million, producing a 19.7% operating margin versus 16.9% a year ago and flat versus Q1 2026's 19.7%. GAAP diluted EPS rose $0.18 year over year to $0.74; adjusted diluted EPS increased $0.15 to $1.23.

  • U.S. business growth was broad based

    Financial Services grew $76.4 million (18.2%) to $496.3 million, primarily from Mortgage price and volume growth, including FICO mortgage royalties. Emerging Verticals added $30.3 million (9.4%) to $353.9 million, supported by Insurance volumes, new wins, pricing and acquisitions.

  • International growth accelerated

    International revenue rose $67.9 million (26.8%) to $320.8 million. Latin America contributed $58.6 million of growth to reach $92.7 million, with the Trans Union de Mexico acquisition accounting for 157.5% of Latin America's percentage growth.

  • Cash conversion and capex intensity improved

    Six-month operating cash flow increased $115.3 million to $459.1 million. Capital expenditures declined $11.0 million to $134.4 million, or 5.3% of six-month revenue versus 6.5% a year earlier; implied operating-cash-flow less capex was $324.7 million.

  • Liquidity remained substantial

    Cash was $839.1 million at June 30, while the company had $478.7 million of remaining revolver availability after $520.0 million of revolver borrowings. Management states these sources should cover planned needs for at least the next 12 months.

  • No formal risk-factor update in the 10-Q

    No new or revised Item 1A risk factors were presented: the filing directs investors to the 2025 Form 10-K and subsequently filed reports. The filing says there were no other material changes in Item 3 market-risk disclosures from the 2025 10-K.

What to watch

  • Consumer Interactive and parts of International declined

    Consumer Interactive revenue declined $4.4 million (3.0%) year over year to $142.5 million, driven by lower demand for paid credit products. India and Asia Pacific also declined $1.5 million (2.3%) and $2.4 million (9.8%), respectively.

  • Margins compressed despite revenue growth

    Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin fell 90 basis points to 34.8%, while U.S. Markets adjusted EBITDA margin declined 150 basis points to 36.4%. Management attributed the pressure primarily to FICO mortgage royalties and higher product costs.

  • Leverage and variable-rate exposure increased

    Total debt was $5.585 billion and net debt was $4.746 billion at June 30, 2026, following the Mexico acquisition; quarterly interest expense increased $10.2 million (18.3%) to $65.9 million. Although 68.4% of variable-rate debt is hedged, a 10% change in average Term SOFR would change annual interest expense by about $6.5 million.

Management's outlook

The 10-Q does not provide a quantitative revenue or EPS outlook. Management states that cash on hand, operating cash flow and revolving-credit availability are expected to fund planned capex, debt service, acquisitions, dividends and operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
