These sales were exempt from applicable U.S. economic sanctions laws and regulations as exports of information and informational materials and authorized under the applicable U.K. and E.U. sanctions against Iran. These sales represented approximately 0.001% of our company’s 2019 consolidated revenues. The aggregate gross revenues attributable to these sales in 2019 were approximately $50,352. We estimate that the 2019 net profit attributable to these sales (utilizing Reuters News’ 2019 segment adjusted EBITDA margin disclosed in this annual report) was approximately $2,820. Our Reuters business does plan to continue its existing customer contracts, which are covered by the ITRA. However, it does not plan on entering into any new sales contracts with customers covered by the ITRA, subject to certain limited exceptions where continued sales are permissible under applicable export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations."
