    Questions to Ask Management

    1. Given that the Big 3 segments achieved 9% organic growth in the first half but the full-year guidance implies a deceleration to 8% in the second half, can you explain the factors contributing to this expected slowdown and how it aligns with your goal of accelerating growth in 2025 and beyond?

    2. With approximately $50 million invested in 18 companies through Thomson Reuters Ventures, how are you measuring the return on these investments, and what concrete metrics are you using to evaluate both the financial and strategic benefits, especially since innovation benefits are hard to quantify?

    3. As you roll out AI and generative AI capabilities like CoCounsel, how are you determining the pricing strategy for these new offerings, and how confident are you that the pricing accurately reflects the efficiencies and value delivered to customers given the early stages of adoption?

    4. Considering the increased competitive activity from start-ups and traditional competitors in the AI and generative AI space, do you anticipate potential market share shifts, and what specific strategies are you implementing to safeguard or enhance your market position?

    5. Your guidance indicates a margin decline in the second half due to increased investment spending, particularly in the third quarter where margins are expected to be the lowest for the year. Can you provide more detail on the nature of these investments and how they are expected to contribute to future revenue growth and margin expansion?
