“Equifax performed extremely well in the fourth quarter against our EFX2025 strategic priorities in a very challenging mortgage market delivering revenue of $1.327 billion, up a strong 11% and Adjusted EPS of $1.81 per share up 19% versus last year, from strong revenue growth and execution of our 2023 $210 million Cloud spending reduction plan. Our non-mortgage business, which was over 80% of Equifax revenue in the fourth quarter, delivered very strong broad based 14% local currency revenue growth, from continued strong new product performance with record New Product Vitality Index of 14%. Workforce Solutions, our largest and fastest growing business, delivered an exceptional quarter with very strong 27% non-mortgage Verification Services revenue growth led by the Government and Talent businesses. USIS delivered revenue growth of 5% from strong 16% mortgage revenue growth and International had a strong quarter, finishing with organic local currency revenue growth of 6%," said Mark W. Begor, Equifax Chief Executive Officer.

“We are issuing our full-year 2024 guidance midpoint expectation for revenue of $5.720 billion, up 8.6% on a reported basis and organic local currency growth of 8.5%. Non-mortgage local currency revenue growth is expected to be over 10.5% versus 2023 and Adjusted EPS of $7.35. While Equifax continues to execute well against its EFX2025 strategic priorities, our 2024 guidance reflects an expectation of an over 16% decline in our 2024 U.S. mortgage credit inquiries, compared to down 34% in 2023, with first half mortgage credit inquiries weaker than second half. Across USIS and Workforce Solutions, we expect to outperform the U.S. mortgage market by about 24%. EBITDA margins are expected to expand to 33.3%, reflecting organic revenue growth and the additional cost savings from Cloud spending reductions plans as well as higher costs from normalization of incentive plans.

This earnings release presents adjusted EPS attributable to Equifax which is diluted EPS attributable to Equifax adjusted (to the extent noted above for different periods) for acquisition-related amortization expense, accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, fair market value adjustment and gain on sale of equity investments, pension mark-to-market fair value adjustment, foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans, acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, realignment of resources and other costs, income tax effect of stock awards recognized upon vesting or settlement, Argentina highly inflationary foreign currency adjustment, gain on settlement of Canada pension plan, and adjustments to deferred tax balances. All adjustments are net of tax, with a reconciling item with the aggregated tax impact of the adjustments. This earnings release also presents (i) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin which is defined as consolidated net income attributable to Equifax plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain one-time items, (ii) local currency revenue change which is calculated by conforming 2023 results using 2022 exchange rates and (iii) organic local currency revenue growth which is defined as local currency revenue growth, adjusted to reflect an increase in prior year Equifax revenue from the revenue of acquired companies in the prior year period. These are important financial measures for Equifax but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.

While the Company believes these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Several factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors relate to (i) actions taken by us, including, but not limited to, restructuring actions, strategic initiatives (such as our cloud technology transformation), capital investments and asset acquisitions or dispositions, as well as (ii) developments beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in the U.S. mortgage market environment and changes more generally in U.S. and worldwide economic conditions (such as changes in interest rates and inflation levels) that materially impact consumer spending, home prices, investment values, consumer debt, unemployment rates and the demand for Equifax’s products and services. Deteriorations in economic conditions or increases in interest rates could lead to a decline in demand for our products and services and negatively impact our business. It may also impact financial markets and corporate credit markets, which could adversely impact our access to financing or the terms of any financing.

Other risk factors relevant to our business include: (i) any compromise of Company, customer or consumer information due to security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure; (ii) the failure to achieve and maintain key industry or technical certifications; (iii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of our cloud technology transformation strategy; (iv) operational disruptions and strain on our resources caused by our transition to cloud-based technologies; (v) our ability to meet customer requirements for high system availability and response time performance; (vi) effects on our business if we provide inaccurate or unreliable data to customers; (vii) our ability to maintain access to credit, employment, financial and other data from external sources; (viii) the impact of competition; (ix) our ability to maintain relationships with key customers; (x) our ability to successfully introduce new products, services and analytical capabilities; (xi) the impact on the demand for some of our products and services due to the availability of free or less expensive consumer information; (xii) our ability to comply with our obligations under settlement agreements arising out of the 2017 cybersecurity incident; (xiii) potential adverse developments in new and pending legal proceedings, government investigations and regulatory enforcement actions; (xiv) changes in, and the effects of, laws, regulations and government policies governing our business, including oversight by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the U.S., the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority and Information Commissioner’s Office in the U.K., and the Office of Australian Information Commission and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in Australia; (xv) the impact of privacy laws and regulations; (xvi) the economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations; (xvii) the impact on our reputation and business if we are unable to fulfill our environmental, social and governance commitments; (xviii) our ability to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits from our acquisitions, joint ventures and other alliances; (xix) any damage to our reputation due to our dependence on outsourcing certain portions of our operations; (xx) the termination or suspension of our government contracts; (xxi) the impact of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property by us against third parties or by third parties against us; (xxii) an increase in our cost of borrowing and our ability to access the capital markets due to a credit rating downgrade; (xxiii) our ability to hire and retain key personnel; (xxiv) the impact of adverse changes in the financial markets and corresponding effects on our retirement and post-retirement pension plans; (xxv) the impact of health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks on our business; and (xxvi) risks associated with our use of certain artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

(1)During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded acquisition-related amortization expense of certain acquired intangibles of $65.4 million ($52.5 million, net of tax). We calculate this financial measure by excluding the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense and including a benefit to reflect the significant cash income tax savings resulting from the income tax deductibility of amortization for certain acquired intangibles. The $12.9 million of tax is comprised of $17.0 million of tax expense net of $4.1 million of a cash income tax benefit. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded acquisition-related amortization expense of certain acquired intangibles of $62.3 million ($50.5 million, net of tax). The $11.8 million of tax is comprised of $15.9 million of tax expense net of $4.1 million of a cash income tax benefit.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded acquisition-related amortization expense of certain acquired intangibles of $250.7 million ($201.9 million, net of tax). The $48.8 million of tax is comprised of $65.1 million of tax expense net of $16.3 million of a cash income tax benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded acquisition-related amortization expense of certain acquired intangibles of $236.7 million ($192.5 million, net of tax). The $44.2 million of tax is comprised of $60.4 million of tax expense net of $16.2 million of a cash income tax benefit. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(2)During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $1.9 million ($1.9 million, net of tax). For the year ended December 31, 2023 we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $16.8 million ($16.7 million, net of tax) primarily driven by our accrual for a penalty associated with resolution of the investigation of the incident by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $0.2 million ($0.2 million, net of tax). For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $1.5 million ($1.2 million, net of tax).

(3)For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $13.4 million ($8.8 million, net of tax) gain on the fair market value adjustment of an equity investment and gain on sale of equity method investments. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a $14.2 million ($9.0 million, net of tax) gain on the fair market value adjustment of an equity investment. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $33.2 million ($17.4 million, net of tax) gain on the fair market value adjustment of an equity investment and gain on sale of equity method investments. The changes in fair value were recorded to the Other Income (Expense), net line item within the Consolidated Statements of Income. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(5)During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a foreign currency loss on certain intercompany loans of $1.3 million and a foreign currency gain on certain intercompany loans of $1.0 million, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $1.4 million and a foreign currency gain of $1.3 million, respectively, related to certain intercompany loans. The impact was recorded to the Other Income (Expense), net line item within the Consolidated Statements of Income. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(6)During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $27.2 million ($19.7 million, net of tax) and $103.2 million ($79.5 million, net of tax), respectively, for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $25.3 million ($19.2 million, net of tax) and $68.2 million ($50.6 million, net of tax), respectively, for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. These costs primarily related to integration costs resulting from recent acquisition activity and were recorded in operating income. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(7)During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $19.4 million ($13.9 million, net of tax) and $34.6 million ($24.6 million, net of tax), respectively, of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded $24.0 million ($18.0 million, net of tax) of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $1.4 million and a foreign currency gain of $1.3 million, respectively, related to certain intercompany loans. The impact was recorded to the Other Income (Expense), net line item within the Consolidated Statements of Income. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(5)During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $27.2 million ($19.7 million, net of tax) and $103.2 million ($79.5 million, net of tax), respectively, for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $25.3 million ($19.2 million, net of tax) and $68.2 million ($50.6 million, net of tax), respectively, for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. These costs primarily related to integration costs resulting from recent acquisition activity and were recorded in operating income. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(6)During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $19.4 million ($13.9 million, net of tax) and $34.6 million ($24.6 million, net of tax), respectively, of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded $24.0 million ($18.0 million, net of tax) of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs. These restructuring charges predominantly relate to the reduction of headcount and contract terminations in order to support the Company’s strategic objectives and increase the integration of our global operations. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

(7)Argentina experienced multiple periods of increasing inflation rates, devaluation of the peso, and increasing borrowing rates. As such, Argentina was deemed a highly inflationary economy by accounting policymakers. For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $3.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy. For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $0.1 million foreign currency loss and a $0.2 million foreign currency gain, respectively, related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy. See the Notes to this reconciliation for additional detail.

C. Reconciliation of operating income by segment to Adjusted EBITDA, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, other income, net, noncontrolling interest, accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, fair market value adjustment and gain on sale of equity investments, pension mark-to-market fair value adjustment, foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans, acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, realignment of resources and other costs, Argentina highly inflationary foreign currency adjustment, gain on settlement of Canada pension plan and presentation of adjusted EBITDA margin for each of the segments:

(1)During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded pre-tax expenses of $1.9 million for an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, a $0.1 million loss related to mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, $1.3 million foreign currency loss on certain intercompany loans, $27.2 million for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, $19.4 million of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs, and a $3.2 million foreign currency loss related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $16.8 million for an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, a $13.4 million gain on the fair market value adjustment of equity investments and gain related to the sale of equity method investments, a $0.1 million loss related to mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, $1.0 million foreign currency gain on certain intercompany loans, $103.2 million for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, $34.6 million of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs, and a foreign currency loss of $3.8 million related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy.

(2)During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded pre-tax expenses of $0.2 million for an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, $14.2 million unrealized gain on the fair market value adjustment of an equity investment, a $1.4 million gain related to the mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, $1.4 million foreign currency loss on certain intercompany loans, $25.3 million in acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, $24.0 million of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs, and a $0.1 million foreign currency loss related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy.

For year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $1.5 million for an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident, a $33.2 million unrealized gain related to the fair market value adjustment of equity investments and gain on sale of equity investments, a $1.4 million gain related to the mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, $1.3 million foreign currency gain on certain intercompany loans, $68.2 million for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization, $24.0 million of restructuring charges for the realignment of resources and other costs, a $0.2 million foreign currency gain related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy, and a gain of $2.2 million on the settlement of our Canada pension plan.

We calculate this financial measure by excluding the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense and including a benefit to reflect the material cash income tax savings resulting from the income tax deductibility of amortization for certain acquired intangibles. These financial measures are not prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management believes excluding the impact of amortization expense is useful because excluding acquisition-related amortization, and other items that are not comparable allows investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis. Certain acquired intangibles result in material cash income tax savings which are not reflected in earnings. Management believes that including a benefit to reflect the cash income tax savings is useful as it allows investors to better value Equifax. Management makes these adjustments to earnings when measuring profitability, evaluating performance trends, setting performance objectives and calculating our return on invested capital.

Accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident - Accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident includes legal fees to respond to subsequent litigation and government investigations for the periods presented. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $1.9 million ($1.9 million, net of tax) and $16.8 million ($16.7 million, net of tax), respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an accrual for legal and regulatory matters related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident of $0.2 million ($0.2 million, net of tax) and $1.5 million ($1.2 million, net of tax), respectively. Management believes excluding these charges is useful as it allows investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis. Management makes these adjustments to net income when measuring profitability, evaluating performance trends, setting performance objectives and calculating our return on invested capital. This is consistent with how management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Fair market value adjustment and gain on sale of equity investments - During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $13.4 million ($8.8 million, net of tax) gain related to adjusting our investment in Brazil to fair value at the date of the acquisition and gain related to the sale of an equity method investment. On August 7, 2023, we purchased the remaining interest of our equity investment in Brazil. The investment in Brazil has a readily determinable fair value and the carrying value of the investment was adjusted to fair value as of the close date, resulting in a loss. Prior to the acquisition, the investment in Brazil was adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with unrealized gains or losses recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other income, net. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $14.2 million ($9.0 million, net of tax) and $33.2 million ($17.4 million, net of tax) unrealized gain related to adjusting our investment in Brazil to fair value and gain related to the sale of equity method investments. Management believes excluding these charges from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, since the non-operating gains or losses are not comparable among the periods. This is consistent with how our management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Pension mark-to-market fair value adjustment - We utilize a mark-to-market method of accounting for recognizing actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under our accounting methodology for recognizing actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets are immediately recognized in earnings through net periodic benefit cost within Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Income, with pension and postretirement plans to be remeasured annually in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events require remeasurement. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $0.1 million ($0.1 million, net of tax) loss related to the mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $1.4 million ($1.0 million, net of tax) gain related to the mark-to-market fair value adjustment of our pension and postretirement benefit plans. Management believes excluding these charges from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results, since the non-operating gains and losses are not comparable among the periods.

Foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans - During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $1.3 million foreign currency loss and a $1.0 million foreign currency gain, respectively, related to certain intercompany loans. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $1.4 million foreign currency loss and a $1.3 million foreign currency gain, respectively, related to certain intercompany loans. The impact was recorded to the Other Income (Expense), net line item within the Consolidated Statements of Income. Management believes excluding this charge is useful as it allows investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis. This is consistent with how management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization - During the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $27.2 million ($19.7 million, net of tax) and $103.2 million ($79.5 million, net of tax) for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. During the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $25.3 million ($19.2 million, net of tax) and $68.2 million ($50.6 million, net of tax) for acquisition-related costs other than acquisition amortization. These costs primarily related to transaction and integration costs resulting from recent acquisitions and were recorded in operating income. Management believes excluding this charge from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results, since a charge of such an amount is not comparable among the periods. This is consistent with how our management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods.

Charge related to the realignment of resources and other costs - During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a restructuring charge of $19.4 million ($13.9 million, net of tax) and $34.6 million ($24.6 million, net of tax), respectively, related to the realignment of resources and other costs. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a restructuring charge of $24.0 million ($18.0 million, net of tax) related to the realignment of resources and other costs. These restructuring charges predominantly relate to the reduction of headcount and contract terminations in order to support the Company’s strategic objectives and increase the integration of our global operations. Management believes excluding this charge from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, since the charges are not comparable among the periods. This is consistent with how our management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Income tax effects of stock awards that are recognized upon vesting or settlement - During the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to the tax effects of deductions for stock compensation in excess of amounts recorded for compensation costs. During the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively, related to the tax effects of deductions for stock compensation in excess of amounts recorded for compensation costs. Management believes excluding this tax effect from financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2022, because these amounts are non-operating and relate to income tax benefits or deficiencies for stock awards recognized when tax amounts differ from recognized stock compensation cost. This is consistent with how management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Argentina highly inflationary foreign currency adjustment - Argentina experienced multiple periods of increasing inflation rates, devaluation of the peso, and increasing borrowing rates. As such, Argentina was deemed a highly inflationary economy by accounting policymakers. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $3.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to the impact of remeasuring the peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities as a result of Argentina being a highly inflationary economy. During the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $0.1 million and a foreign currency gain of $0.2 million, respectively. Management believes excluding this charge is useful as it allows investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis. This is consistent with how management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Adjustments to deferred tax balances - During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a tax expense of $1.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a tax benefit of $27.2 million related to the write off of a deferred tax liability related to our original investment in Boa Vista Serviços as a result of our purchase of the remaining interest in Boa Vista Serviços in the third quarter of 2023. We determined the deferred tax balance should no longer be recorded as a result of our purchase of the remaining interest in Boa Vista Serviços during the third quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2022, we recorded a tax expense of $3.9 million related to adjustments to deferred tax balances resulting from changes in U.S. state tax law. Management believes excluding this tax effect from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for both periods since a charge of such amount is not comparable among the periods. This is consistent with how management reviews and assesses Equifax’s historical performance and is useful when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
