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 (includes 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.
