Annual Report 2006 THREE MINUTES The Thomson Corporation Annual Report 2006 2 To Our Shareholders 58 Financial Statements and Notes 6 Financial Highlights 102 Board of Directors 8 Growth Metrics 104 Senior Management 10 Three Minutes 105 Corporate Information 24 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 106 In Memoriam: Ken Thomson THREE MINUTES At Thomson, our job is helping business people and professionals meet the constant demand of “I need to know now.” For the lawyer preparing a case, the broker advising a client, the tax adviser struggling with the intricacies of a new regulation or the doctor prescribing a new drug – the demand for better-informed, more innovative, more insightful answers is relentless. And the right answers have to come fast, at the moment the opportunity or risk arises. These answers are never frozen in time. They are preceded and followed by further questions. “Three Minutes” is a look at how Thomson evolves its solutions to meet our customers’ complex information needs, address the various stages of their workflows and enhance their productivity. Thomson folklore has it that we ask our customers what they were doing three minutes before they used our product and three minutes after. Then we build out our solutions to support those before-and- after needs. The reality’s slightly more complicated. To show what a workflow solution does, and how it delivers value, we offer a look inside three of Thomson’s leading solutions. Diagrams and text illustrate how three different types of experts rely on Thomson to enable their daily work and speed its flow – to do in minutes what once took hours or days – and to arrive at better answers. 1 TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: In 2006 The Thomson Our electronic solutions, software and services continued to gain momentum in the markets, accounting Corporation successfully for 80% of our revenues in 2006 and delivering our highest organic revenue growth in years. Total revenues executed on its strategic and grew 8%, operating profit rose 7% and earnings per operational priorities, and share increased 22%. The company generated over $2 billion in cash from operations, and free cash flow delivered strong financial increased 21%, driven by strong growth in operating income, lower tax payments and stable capital results. Thomson has never expenditures. We delivered value to our customers and created value for our shareholders. Our company been in a stronger position – returned nearly $1 billion to shareholders in 2006 strategically, operationally through dividends and our stock buyback program. Thomson entered 2007 well positioned for continued and financially. growth and profitability. The market has validated our workflow solutions strategy. We enjoy leading positions in all of our markets, which gives us the opportunity to shape markets rather than react to them. And we have realigned the company to be more focused, efficient and effective. Going forward, we see a clear opportunity to build on the foundation that we have established as the world’s leading provider of workflow solutions for business and professional customers. DRIVERS OF OUR SUCCESS Three factors drive the company’s success: innovative workflow solutions, a disciplined approach to optimizing our business portfolio and an equally rigorous approach to leveraging our company’s infrastructure and assets. 2 Our fastest-growing offerings are workflow solutions The main focus of portfolio optimization is to allocate such as the three highlighted in the feature section resources to the businesses that have the highest potential of this report, along with others such as our Checkpoint for growth and returns. We are excited about the sale solution for tax specialists and the management and of Thomson Learning because we believe the proceeds clinical decision support solutions we provide to will enable us to pursue new opportunities, including healthcare payers and providers. Our solutions-based strengthening our existing businesses through increased strategy is achieving success every day as customers investment, expanding into adjacent markets and stepping sign on and begin asking for more: more functions, out into new markets and countries. We have established more features and more adaptable interfaces. a disciplined, measured approach for using the sale proceeds with a focus on profitable growth and enhanced As we hone our ability to tailor solutions so that shareholder value. Value-creating opportunities will they become integral to customer workflows, our drive the investment process. relationship with customers grows even closer. Idea generation and product development have become Optimizing our infrastructure – i.e., technology, a collaborative exercise. And as we build out solutions operational processes and internal support services – to meet our customers’ evolving needs, our growth is the third key to our company’s success. In mid-2006 from existing businesses has risen (up 6% over 2005) we launched a coordinated series of initiatives designed as has the percentage of recurring revenues (reaching to increase organizational efficiency and effectiveness 82% in 2006). by leveraging technology and scale, and by adopting industry best practices, across our company. We are Another success factor is our company’s rigorous making good progress toward developing a robust approach for optimizing our portfolio of common infrastructure to support all of our businesses. businesses to accelerate growth and returns. In The goal is to maximize the ability of each Thomson October 2006 we announced our intention to divest business to leverage the full resources of a multibillion our Thomson Learning group, including businesses dollar corporation. serving the higher education, careers, library reference, corporate e-learning and e-testing markets. Thomson Learning is a leader in these markets and is well managed, growing and profitable. But as our solutions-based strategy evolves, there are fewer synergies between the Learning group and our other businesses. 3 LONG-TERM VALUE CREATION Moreover, electronic delivery improves our ability to provide additional products and services to our As we review the achievements of 2006 and the existing customers and to access new customers around expanding opportunities ahead, we sense that Thomson the world. As our product mix continues to shift from has reached a defining moment in its evolution.

By leveraging content, technology and expertise across our businesses, we become more efficient at The ongoing success of our workflow solutions gives us developing and launching innovative solutions. What confidence that Thomson can keep building momentum we learn from each new solution enables our product on organic growth. We expect that the percentage of development teams to bring more robust products, our revenues derived from electronic products, software incorporating more advanced analytical and productivity and services will keep rising as we build out solutions tools, to market more quickly.

The last public example of a sextortion crime was Jeff Bezos, when he went public to say the National Enquirer was blackmailing him with the threat of publishing sexual pictures of him. This happens on a daily basis to thousands of people, especially young people. The second pillar of the Foundation is our outstanding team of journalists with a focus on under- reported issues – now, thankfully, increasingly becoming mainstream issues. These include women’s rights, climate change, modern slavery, access to land and property rights and, launched just this year, LGBT+ news. We have increasingly been able to give these issues the visibility they deserve, because our news is distributed for free and, in the past four years, disseminated via the Reuters services. I attribute our success to creating an ecosystem where information and connections are used to empower those who can make the world a better place and drive social progress. At a time of large- scale migration and increasingly vulnerable populations, we help those on the front lines to better fight the crimes to which they are subjected. Our approach is based on collaboration and putting together the best agents of change. Collaboration is behind the success of our Banks Alliance – a multi-stakeholder group working to disrupt human trafficking by identifying suspicious financial transactions. Sharing world-class expertise to scale for impact has been the driving force behind all the Foundation’s work – whether it be training journalists around the world to report facts with absolute accuracy in a digital world often dominated by fake news, or launching independent news platforms in countries where free media is under attack, such as Egypt and Myanmar.
