• • • • . EQUIFAX • • I wanted to share with you an overview of the strong financial performance and upwardly revised outlook that we discussed on this morning's third quarter earnings call . Importantly , I also wanted to remind you about the announcement we made about our first Investor Day since the cyber event and indeed since 2012 , to take place virtually on Wednesday , November 10th , at 8:30 AM Eastern Time . Third quarter revenue at $ 1.22 billion was up 14 % with organic constant currency growth up a very strong 12 % . The top - line growth , our 7th consecutive in the double - digits , was off of 19 % last year in a much stronger mortgage market . Adjusted EPS of $ 1.85 per share was down slightly from last year , although adjusting for the Cloud Transformation costs of $ 45M or $ 0.27 per share , Adjusted EPS would have been up a strong 11 % . Our positive financial performance builds on our gains in the first half and was powered by broad - based strength in Workforce Solutions as well as USIS non - mortgage and International revenue . Other third quarter highlights include : • Workforce Solutions revenue growth of 35 % , its 10th consecutive quarter in the double - digits . • • • USIS non - mortgage revenue growth of almost 16 % , with organic growth of over 9 % . International revenue revenue growth of 10 % on a local currency basis , the fourth consecutive quarter of growth following the COVID pandemic impacts . Execution of the strategic acquisitions of Appriss Insights , Health e ( fx ) and Teletrack , which enhance our differentiated data , strengthen Workforce Solutions and broaden our identity and fraud protection capabilities . Accelerating New Product Innovation performance by delivering 30 new products . Our 115 new products in the market through the third quarter this year are an 18 % increase from the 96 in the same timeframe in 2020 . Based on our very strong third quarter results , we are again raising our full - year financial guidance , reflecting revenue to a range of $ 4.901 billion to $ 4.921 billion , and Adjusted EPS to a range of $ 7.52 to $ 7.62 .
