(RTTNews) - TransUnion (TRU), a global risk and information solutions provider, announced Friday it agreed to acquire Callcredit Information Group, Ltd., from private equity firm GTCR for 1.0 billion British pounds or about $1.4 billion in an all-cash deal as part of its international expansion plans. TransUnion is already doing business in 33 countries.

Leeds-based Callcredit is the second largest and fastest growing consumer credit bureau in the U.K. GTCR acquired Callcredit in 2014.

The transaction is anticipated to close late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter pending regulatory approval.

Additionally, TransUnion announced that first-quarter net income increased to $73.1 million or $0.38 per share from $62.3 million or $0.33 per share in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted earnings for the quarter were $107.5 million or $0.57 per share, compared to $80.2 million or $0.42 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Total revenue for the quarter grew 18 percent or 17 percent in constant currency, to $537.4 million from $455.0 million in the same quarter last year.

On average, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of $0.52 per share on revenues of $507.54 million for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

Looking ahead to the second quarter, the company expects adjusted earnings in a range of $0.59 to $0.60 per share on revenues between $534 million and $539 million. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $0.57 per share on revenues of $526.59 million for the quarter.

For the full year 2018, the company raised adjusted earnings outlook to a range of 2.37 to $2.41 per share from the prior range of $2.26 to $2.31 per share. Revenues are now projected between $2.170 billion and $2.185 billion, up from the prior projection between $2.12 billion and $2.14 billion.

Street is currently looking for earnings of $2.31 per share on revenues of $2.13 billion for the year.
