Equifax Reports Sharply Higher Earnings

ATLANTA – Credit bureau Equifax on Wednesday said an 11% rise in third quarter revenues helped fuel a 28% rise in earnings for the period.

Revenues for the company’s fiscal third quarter were $473.8 million.

Net income for the third quarter was $76.5 million, up from $59.7 million for the same period last year.
