TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026 on Tuesday, April 28, headlined by double-digit revenue growth and a significant expansion of its international footprint.

The global information and insights company posted total revenue of $1.246 billion, a 14% increase on a reported basis and an 11% increase on an organic constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period.

The quarter’s performance was significantly bolstered by the majority acquisition of Trans Union de Mexico.

This strategic move contributed to a total net income of $397 million, which included a $225 million one-time gain related to the remeasurement of the company’s previously held equity interest in the Mexican entity.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter rose 10% to $438 million, reflecting strong operational leverage across its U.S. and International segments.

Operating cash flow improved to $84 million for the quarter.

However, the company reported an investing cash outflow of $587 million, primarily driven by the capital deployment required to finalize the Mexico acquisition.

Despite this significant investment, TransUnion maintains a disciplined balance sheet as it continues to integrate its global data platforms.

Looking ahead, TransUnion raised its full-year 2026 financial guidance.

The company now expects consolidated revenue to be between $4.128 billion and $4.215 billion, representing an 8% to 10% increase.
