ATLANTA, February 8, 2012 — Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The company reported revenue from continuing operations of $509.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a 6 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter revenue was up 10 percent, excluding Brazilian operating results due to the deconsolidation of Brazil in the second quarter of 2011.

Fourth quarter diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Equifax was $0.60, up 20 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Equifax, excluding a tax benefit and the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense, was $0.68, up 10 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010.

For the full year 2011, revenue from continuing operations was $2.0 billion, a 5 percent increase from 2010. Excluding Brazilian operating results, a non-GAAP measure, full year revenue was up 8 percent. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $1.87 compared to $1.86 for the full year 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, full year adjusted EPS from continuing operations, which excludes the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense, the loss on the deconsolidation of our Brazilian business and an income tax benefit, was $2.52, up 9 percent from the prior year period. For the full year 2011, we returned $220.4 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases during the year.

"I am very proud of our fourth quarter performance which topped off a year of significant accomplishments including strong execution on our core growth initiatives, which resulted in acceleration of our organic non-mortgage revenue growth. We continue to diversify our served markets and customers through the rapid deployment of many new products. New products have resulted in an expansion of our markets as well as share gains within our current customer base. We are also becoming well positioned for long-term growth in Brazil through our successful partnership with Boa Vista Servicos," said Richard F. Smith, Equifax's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In 2012, there will be new opportunities that will drive our business performance. You can expect this management team to continue building on its accomplishments to further enhance long term revenue growth and operating margin."

What drove the fluctuation in the effective tax rate?

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 33.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 up from 33.5% for the same period in 2010. While we recognized a $4.2 million cumulative income tax benefit resulting from the recognition of an income tax deduction related to several prior years, the benefit was more than offset by a decrease as compared to 2010 in the amount of benefit recognized from reducing our tax valuation allowance and other immaterial items.

5.	a) What is the new TALX Workforce Solutions structure that is now being reported?

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we changed our TALX Workforce Solutions reporting structure to reflect the way that the business is managed and will continue to be managed going forward. Most of the services previously reported under The Work Number are now reported as Verification Services.

Notes to Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Comparable GAAP Financial Measures

Income Tax Benefit – During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a cumulative income tax benefit resulting from the recognition of an income tax deduction related to several prior years. Management believes excluding this income tax benefit from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, since an income tax benefit 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.

Loss on the deconsolidation of Brazilian business – During the second quarter of 2011, the Company completed the merger of our Brazilian business with and into Boa Vista Servicos S.A. (“BVS”) in exchange for a 15 percent equity interest in BVS. The Company recorded a $27.8 million loss on the transaction. Management believes excluding the loss from certain financial results provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, since a loss 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.

Diluted EPS and net income from continuing operations attributable to Equifax, adjusted for an income tax benefit, the loss on the deconsolidation of Brazilian business and acquisition-related amortization expense - We calculate these financial measures by excluding an income tax benefit, the loss on the deconsolidation of our Brazilian business and acquisition-related amortization expense from the determination of net income attributable to Equifax in the calculation of diluted EPS. These financial measures are not prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management believes that these measures are useful because management excludes acquisition-related amortization expense and other items that are not comparable when measuring operating profitability, evaluating performance trends, and setting performance objectives, and it allows investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding items that relate to acquisition-related intangible assets and items that impact comparability.

Adjusted operating revenue, excluding the results of our Brazilian operations - Management believes excluding the Brazilian revenue from the calculation of operating revenue, on a non-GAAP basis, is useful because it allows investors to evaluate the Company’s growth on a basis consistent with the current composition of our business.
