North America - 68% of Group revenue4 North America delivered organic revenue growth of 10%. Total revenue growth was 11%. B2B organic revenue growth was 11%. Financial Services delivered a strong performance, reflecting continued progress against our strategic priorities. Growth was supported by strong contributions from Clarity, commercial momentum in our new Cashflow products, mortgage profiles, and healthy underlying client activity. Within Verticals, Automotive maintained its recent momentum, led by our credit, vehicle history and value recovery solutions. Health also delivered strongly, supported by our claims management products and increasing uptake of Patient Access Curator, our AI-powered registration platform. Consumer Services delivered organic revenue growth of 8%, as anticipated after the one-time contractual catch- up in our insurance business in Q2. Marketplace was a key driver with growth across credit cards, personal loans and insurance, and supported by the onboarding of additional lenders to our Activate capability and expanded partner adoption of our innovative No Ding Decline feature. Partner Solutions growth was supported by good performance at existing clients and new business wins. Latin America - 14% of Group revenue4 Latin America delivered organic revenue growth of 6%. At constant currency, total revenue growth was 15%, primarily from the ClearSale acquisition. B2B organic revenue growth was flat, consistent with recent trends and impacted by ongoing macroeconomic activity and elevated interest rates. In Brazil, strategic focus areas such as fraud prevention and small and medium enterprise continue to perform well. We are advancing the ClearSale integration, delivering expanded product capabilities and new business wins and capturing planned synergies. In Spanish Latin America, growth was driven by our value-added services, such as proprietary scores and analytics. Consumer Services delivered very strong organic revenue growth of 23%, as the business achieved a significant milestone of 100 million free members in Brazil. Limpa Nome performed strongly, supported by volume expansion at several key partners and a successful Limpa Nome fair. Premium subscription revenue grew well with an expanding membership base, and our credit marketplace delivered strong growth with several major partners joining the panel. UK and Ireland - 11% of Group revenue4 The UK and Ireland delivered organic revenue of growth of 3%. Total constant currency revenue growth of 5% was primarily due to the contribution from the acquisition of KYC360. B2B organic revenue was flat. Though UK economic activity continues to be soft, we have driven sequential improvement and continue to execute against our strategic priorities. We delivered strong Ascend Sandbox growth and multiple proof-of-value trials remain in progress. During the quarter, we also acquired KYC360, enhancing our fraud and financial crime compliance capabilities. Organic revenue growth in Consumer Services was 14%. This was driven primarily by continued marketplace momentum and supported by the launch of our 1250 score, our new credit score that uses expanded data and better reflects how credit applications are assessed. We drove strong growth across both credit cards and personal loans, supported by higher customer engagement and strong conversion rates. EMEA and Asia Pacific - 7% of Group revenue4

In EMEA and Asia Pacific, organic revenue growth was 3%, with total constant currency revenue growth of 4%. We drove strong growth across a number of core markets, including Italy, Spain and South East Asia, despite a tough comparable from large software deliveries in the prior year period. We continue to progress our strategic initiatives, expanding proprietary scores and Ascend Platform capabilities into new geographies.
