Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K

Quoted exactly

10 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Nov 6, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Nov 7, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.

Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 74 Technology companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

Our ability to increase our revenue depends, in part, on our ability to successfully develop and introduce new products and services, enhance and improve our existing offerings, and expand into new markets. If we are unable to successfully develop and commercialize new, enhanced, or improved products and services, or if the marketplace does not adopt or accept these offerings, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, any defects, failures, disruptions, or delays associated with the development, launch, or performance of new, enhanced, or improved products and services could harm our reputation, customer relationships, and business.

We expect competition from both established and emerging companies to continue to increase. This competition may include our customers developing their own scoring models or other products, including through the use of AI-based offerings, which could eliminate or reduce their purchases of our products and services. For example, our Scores segment faces competition from other credit score models, including VantageScore, which has experienced increased regulatory acceptance in the U.S. mortgage market. VantageScore is a product of a joint venture of TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian, the three major consumer reporting agencies from which we have historically derived a substantial portion of our revenues. We also face competition from other technologies, particularly with respect to AI-based offerings. For example, certain of our fraud solutions products compete against other methods of preventing payment card fraud, and our analytics and decisioning products increasingly compete against products from large language model developers.

Our business relies on third-party technologies and service providers throughout the product lifecycle, from development to deployment to customers. In addition, we rely on distributors, resellers, or partners to market and distribute our products and we expect to continue expanding these relationships. We have recently expanded certain third-party relationships, including those related to product distribution activities and strategic product collaborations, and we intend to continue to invest in additional marketing, distribution, and other relationships, which may not be successful or may lead to operational, transitional, or other disruptions.

In addition, due to our increasing reliance on third-party technology associated with our product development lifecycle, the failure of these relationships to have the results we expect or desire could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our strategic partnerships and other collaborations may not be successful, negatively impacting our sales and margins.

Paragraphs in the 10-Q filed Jul 29, 2026 that were not in the one before

5 paragraphs in the 10-Q filed Jul 29, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-Q filed Apr 28, 2026 (at least half the words must differ; new numbers alone do not count). Quoted exactly, grouped by the item heading above them. This is text that changed, not a judgement of how serious it is.

Financial statements and notes

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to make repurchases of shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market, in negotiated transactions, and through accelerated share repurchase programs. As part of the broader stock repurchase program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, Inc. (“Wells Fargo Securities”) on June 5, 2026 to repurchase $1.5 billion of our common stock. The ASR Agreement was accounted for as two separate transactions: (1) a repurchase of shares of common stock and (2) an equity-linked contract on our own common stock. Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, we paid $1.5 billion to Wells Fargo Securities and received an initial delivery of 1,055,103 shares of common stock, which had a value of approximately $1.2 billion and therefore approximated 80 percent of the total number of expected shares to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement. The remaining $300.0 million is considered a prepayment under the ASR Agreement, due to shares not yet being delivered with respect to such amount. The equity-linked contract for this remaining $300.0 million, representing shares to be delivered by Wells Fargo Securities to us under the ASR Agreement at settlement, was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital as of June 30, 2026. The final number of shares to be repurchased and the average price paid per share will be determined upon the settlement of the ASR Agreement, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement.

• In June 2026, we amended our credit agreement to provide for a $1.5 billion term loan, the proceeds of which were used to fund an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”).

As of June 30, 2026, we had $800.0 million remaining under the June 2026 program, which includes the $300.0 million prepayment under the ASR Agreement as to which shares have not yet been repurchased and will be delivered to us upon settlement of the ASR Agreement. During the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2026, we expended $2.3 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, under the June 2025 program, the February 2026 program, and the June 2026 program, as applicable, including $1.5 billion under the ASR Agreement entered into as part of the June 2026 program. Under the ASR Agreement, we received an initial delivery of 1,055,103 shares of common stock, representing approximately 80 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement. The final number of shares repurchased and the average price paid per share will be determined upon the settlement of the ASR Agreement, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Other information

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

The 10-Q's risk factors against the 10-K

Item 1A of the 10-Q filed Jul 29, 2026 against Item 1A of the 10-K filed Nov 7, 2025. A 10-Q repeats only the risks that changed, so a 10-K paragraph that is missing from it is not counted as removed. Added is a paragraph with nothing like it in the 10-K, Reworded a sentence that is in both with several words changed, Quiet changes a sentence in both where one to four words changed and one is a hedge or a modal (cut words struck through, new words highlighted and underlined). Text on the page, not a score; each links to the filing at sec.gov.

Added10-Q 2026-07-29 vs 10-K 2025-11-07
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (our “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be insignificant also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results in the future. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
