Thomson Reuters reported 10% third-quarter revenue growth on Nov. 3, 2026, and reset its full-year outlook to exclude its Global Print business. The results give professional-services customers and executives a new basis for assessing the information provider after its print-business separation.
This Rapid News Brief advances NextNow’s earlier earnings preview with the company’s reported results for the quarter ended Sept. 30.
Growth and the revised outlook
In its results announcement, Thomson Reuters said organic revenue also increased 10%, both companywide and across its combined Legal Professionals, Corporates, and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals businesses. The company refers to those three operations as its Big 3 segments.
For the full year, management now expects approximately 9.5% total revenue growth, organic growth of approximately 8.5% to 9%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 39%. Those figures are forecasts, not completed full-year results.
The company said its revenue-growth and adjusted-margin guidance for the Big 3 businesses was unchanged from the outlook issued Aug. 5. The revised companywide presentation therefore should not be read as an across-the-board change in expectations for those professional-information operations.
The print separation changes comparisons
Thomson Reuters sold a 51% stake in Global Print to KKR-advised capital accounts on Oct. 1 for approximately $500 million in gross proceeds. The business now operates as Westbridge Print.
As the company explained in its Oct. 19 supplemental disclosure, Global Print is being presented as discontinued operations beginning with the third quarter, with earlier comparative periods restated. The separation closed after the quarter ended; the reporting change nevertheless applies to the quarterly presentation.
Westbridge’s royalty and transition-service arrangements began Oct. 1. Their expected effects belong to the subsequent operating period, not to third-quarter customer activity. The royalty covers the licensed distribution of Thomson Reuters intellectual property in print and on its ProView e-book platform. For readers comparing the new release with older guidance, matching the business perimeter is essential: a change in the reporting basis is different from a change in underlying demand.
