NEW YORK, May 1, 2012 - Thomson Reuters (TSX / NYSE: TRI), the world's leading
source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today
reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. The company
reported revenues from ongoing businesses of $3.2 billion, a 4% increase before
currency. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% with the corresponding margin up 260
basis points to 25.9%. Underlying operating profit increased 2% with a
corresponding margin of 17.1% versus 17.4% in the prior-year period.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.44 compared to $0.37 in the first
quarter of 2011.
"The first-quarter performance was consistent with our full-year expectations,"
said James C. Smith, chief executive officer of Thomson Reuters. "The Legal, Tax
& Accounting and IP & Science businesses each performed well. Our Financial &
Risk business continues to make progress in a very difficult environment. We
are executing against a more focused strategy. In all, we are on track and
affirm our full-year outlook."
"Last week, we announced an agreement to sell our Healthcare business for $1.25
billion. The transaction will enable us to redeploy capital to a number of
alternatives, including accelerating development of our core businesses, as well
as those in fast-growing geographies around the world."

[1] These and other non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to
the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the tables appended to this news
release. Additional information is provided in the explanatory note at the end
of this news release.
* Revenues from ongoing businesses were $3.2 billion, a 4% increase before
currency.
* Adjusted EBITDA increased 15%, and the corresponding margin was 25.9% versus
23.3% in the prior-year period primarily due to the elimination of
integration expenses and flow-through from higher revenues.
* Underlying operating profit increased 2% and the corresponding margin was
17.1% versus 17.4% in the prior-year period as higher revenues were offset
by higher depreciation and amortization from new product launches.
* Adjusted EPS was $0.44 compared to $0.37 in the prior-year period. The
increase was largely attributable to the elimination of integration expenses
and higher underlying operating profit.
First-Quarter Business Segment Highlights
Unless otherwise noted, all revenue growth comparisons in this news release are
before the impact of foreign currency as Thomson Reuters believes this provides
the best basis to measure the performance of its business. Effective January
1, 2012, Thomson Reuters is organized as four reportable segments: Financial &
Risk, Legal, Tax & Accounting and Intellectual Property & Science. Results for
the first quarter of 2011 have been reclassified to reflect the current
reportable segments. ( )
Financial & Risk
* Revenues increased 1%. Good growth in Marketplaces and Governance, Risk &
Compliance was offset by declines in revenues from the Trading (Exchange
Traded Instruments and Fixed Income) and Investors (Investment Management)
business units.
* Recurring subscription-related revenues grew 1%. Transactions-related
revenues increased 4%. Recoveries revenues increased 2% and Outright
revenues rose 9%.
* By geography, revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) rose 2%,
revenues in the Americas were up 1% while revenues in Asia were flat.
* EBITDA was $459 million, down 1%, with a related margin of 25.3%. Excluding
currency, EBITDA increased 1% and the related margin was unchanged from the
prior-year period.
* Operating profit was $302 million, down 8%, with a related margin of 16.7%.
Excluding currency, operating profit decreased 4% and the related margin
decreased 100 basis points due to higher depreciation and amortization
related to new product investments.
* Eikon desktops now total over 16,000, up 30% from the fourth quarter of
2011.
Trading
* Revenues decreased 2% with growth in Commodities & Energy and Foreign
Exchange offset by desktop cancellations in Exchange Traded Instruments and
Fixed Income.
* Recoveries revenues increased 2%.
Investors
* Revenues declined 3%. A 16% increase in Enterprise Content revenues was
offset by a decline in Investment Management (down 10%) due to prior-year
cancellations and weakness in Europe. Wealth Management declined 3%.
* Investment Management net sales, though negative in the first quarter,
improved from the fourth quarter of 2011.
* Corporates revenues increased 1% and Investment Banking revenues were flat.
Marketplaces
* Revenues increased 10% (4% organic) driven by acquisitions and Tradeweb,
which was up 11% on an organic basis.
* Foreign exchange-related revenues rose slightly, impacted by lower volumes
compared to the prior-year period.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
* Revenues grew 122% (16% organic) to $51 million driven by acquisitions, new
sales and strong demand for risk and compliance solutions.
* Thomson Reuters Accelus Compliance Manager was launched in March 2012 with
strong interest from customers.
Legal
* Revenues increased 3%. US Law Firm Solutions grew 2% driven by a 12%
increase in Business of Law revenues (FindLaw and Elite) with research-
related revenues flat. Corporate, Government and Academic revenues rose 4%.
Global businesses grew 7% with good growth in Latin America.
* EBITDA increased 5% and the associated margin increased 60 basis points to
34.7%.
* Operating profit increased 5% and the associated margin was 25.7% compared
to 25.2% in the prior-year period.
* WestlawNext has been sold to approximately 65% of Westlaw's revenue base.
Tax & Accounting
* Revenues increased 31% (9% organic) driven by acquisitions and strong growth
across the business.
* EBITDA increased 50% and the corresponding margin increased 410 basis points
to 31.0%.
* Operating profit increased 58% and the corresponding margin increased 380
basis points to 21.9% due to strong revenue flow-through and efficiency
initiatives, partly offset by the dilutive effect of acquisitions.
* Tax & Accounting is a seasonal business with a significant percentage of its
operating profit traditionally generated in the fourth quarter. Small
movements in the timing of expenses can impact margins in any given quarter
for the Tax & Accounting business. Full-year margins are more reflective of
the segment's underlying performance.
Intellectual Property & Science
* Revenues were up 4% driven by growth in the IP Solutions and Scientific &
Scholarly Research businesses, partly offset by a 1% decline in Life
Sciences revenues due to timing of renewals and a difficult comparable in
the first quarter of 2011.
* EBITDA increased 9% with the corresponding margin increasing 160 basis
points to 34.4%.
* Operating profit increased 6% with the corresponding margin increasing 40
basis points to 26.3%.
* Small movements in the timing of expenses can impact margins in any given
quarter for the Intellectual Property & Science business. Full-year margins
are more reflective of the segment's underlying performance.
Corporate & Other (Including Media)
Media revenues totaled $82 million, unchanged from the prior-year period.
Corporate and Other costs totaled $80 million compared to $76 million in the
prior-year period.
Recent Developments
On April 23, 2012, Thomson Reuters announced it had entered into a definitive
agreement to sell its Healthcare business to an affiliate of Veritas Capital for
$1.25 billion. The sale is not subject to any financing condition but is subject
to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, including the
expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-
Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The sale is expected to close in the next few
months.
The Healthcare business provides data, analytics and performance benchmarking
solutions and services to hospitals, health systems, employers, health plans,
government agencies and healthcare professionals.
Business Outlook (Before Currency)
Thomson Reuters today reaffirmed its business outlook for 2012 that was
previously communicated in February.
Thomson Reuters expects its revenues to grow low-single digits in 2012.
Thomson Reuters expects its adjusted EBITDA margin to range between 27% and 28%
in 2012.
The company forecasts its underlying operating profit margin to range between
18% and 19% in 2012 due to higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Thomson Reuters expects reported free cash flow to grow 5% to 10% and free cash
flow from ongoing operations to grow 15% to 20% in 2012.
The information in this section is forward-looking and should be read in
conjunction with the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements, Material Assumptions and Material Risks."

$0.04 per share to $1.28 per share. A quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share is

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Thomson Reuters prepares its financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
This news release includes certain non-IFRS financial measures. Thomson Reuters
uses these non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its
operating performance and financial position. These measures do not have any
standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be
comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and
should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance
calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures are defined and
reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the appended tables.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND
MATERIAL RISKS
Certain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to,
statements in the "Business Outlook (Before Currency)" section and Mr. Smith's
comments, are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on
certain assumptions and reflect our company's current expectations. As a result,
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current
expectations. There is no assurance that the events described in any forward-
looking statement will materialize. A business outlook is provided for the
purpose of presenting information about current expectations for 2012. This
information may not be appropriate for other purposes. You are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect expectations
only as of the date of this news release. Except as may be required by
applicable law, Thomson Reuters disclaims any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements.
The company's 2012 business outlook is based on various external and internal
assumptions. Economic and market assumptions include, but are not limited to,
positive GDP growth in the countries where Thomson Reuters operates led by
rapidly developing economies and a continued increase in the number of
professionals around the world and their demand for high quality information and
services. Internal financial and operational assumptions include, but are not
limited to, the successful execution of the company's ongoing product release
programs, globalization strategy, other growth initiatives and efficiency
initiatives.
Some of the material risk factors that could cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking
statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, changes in the
general economy (including the current European Union debt crisis); actions of
competitors; failure to develop new products, services, applications and
functionalities to meet customers' needs, attract new customers or expand into
new geographic markets; increased accessibility to free or relatively
inexpensive information sources; failures or disruptions of network systems or
the Internet; failure to maintain a high renewal rate for subscription-based
services; dependency on third parties for data, information and other services;
changes to law and regulations, including the impact of the Dodd-Frank
legislation and similar financial services laws around the world; failure to
adapt to recent organizational changes; failure to recruit, motivate and retain
high quality management and key employees; failure to meet the challenges
involved in operating globally; failure to protect the brands and reputation of
Thomson Reuters; additional impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets; inadequate protection of intellectual property rights; threat of legal
actions and claims; risk of antitrust/competition-related claims or
investigations; downgrading of credit ratings and adverse conditions in the
credit markets; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates;
the effect of factors outside of the control of Thomson Reuters on funding
obligations in respect of pension and post-retirement benefit arrangements;
actions or potential actions that could be taken by the company's principal
shareholder, The Woodbridge Company Limited, and failure to derive fully the
anticipated benefits from existing or future acquisitions, joint ventures,
investments or dispositions. These and other factors are discussed in materials
that Thomson Reuters from time to time files with, or furnishes to, the Canadian
securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. Thomson Reuters annual and quarterly reports are also available in

---------------------
(4) Thomson Reuters defines adjusted EBITDA as underlying operating profit
excluding the related depreciation and amortization of computer software
but including integration programs expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is
adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenues from ongoing
businesses.
(5) Underlying operating profit is operating profit from reportable segments
and Corporate & Other (including Media). Underlying operating profit
margin is the underlying operating profit expressed as a percentage of
revenues from ongoing businesses.
(6) Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per
share from continuing operations include dividends declared on preference
shares and integration programs expense, but exclude the pre-tax impacts
of amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as well as the
post-tax impacts of fair value adjustments, other operating (gains) and
losses, certain impairment charges, the results of Other businesses (see
note (3) above), other finance (income) costs, Thomson Reuters share of
post-tax (earnings) losses in equity method investees, discontinued
operations and other items affecting comparability. Adjusted earnings per
share from continuing operations is calculated using diluted weighted
average shares and does not represent actual earnings or loss per share
attributable to shareholders.
(7) Adjustment to reflect income taxes based on estimated full-year effective
tax rate. Reported earnings or loss for interim periods reflect income
taxes based on the estimated effective tax rates of each of the
jurisdictions in which Thomson Reuters operates. The adjustment
reallocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but
has no effect on full year income taxes.
(8) Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures, other investing activities and dividends paid on the
company's preference shares. Other businesses (see note (3) above) are
also removed to arrive at free cash flow from ongoing operations.
