2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill, the realization of deferred tax assets, fair value of stock based compensation, liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits, and the estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Certain combinations have been made related to federal and state income taxes and to the segment reporting within revenue categories in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to conform to the respective 2013 presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2013-02”). Under ASU No. 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the financial statement where net income is presented or in the notes thereto. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU 2013-02 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2013. The Company elected to present the information as a separate disclosure in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU No. 2013-04”). Under ASU No. 2013-04, an entity is required to measure and disclose the amounts and nature of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt this standard. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the long-term debt resulting from joint and several liability arrangements

has been measured on a gross basis and disclosed in Note 8. Other obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, such as contingencies, retirement benefits and income taxes, are excluded from the scope of this ASU.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU No. 2013-05”). Under ASU No. 2013-05, an entity is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon cessation to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt this standard. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU No. 2013-11”).  Under ASU No. 2013-11, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with the exception that these unrecognized tax benefits are not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law.  An additional exception applies when the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.  ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company has elected not to early adopt this standard. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2013-11 on its financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both financial and non-financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820-10”), established a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820-10 requires disclosures detailing the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company applied the following fair value hierarchy: 
Level 1 -
 
Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded
   instruments.
 
 
 
Level 2 -
 
Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
 
 
 
Level 3 -
 
Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market;
   instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which are internally-developed, and considers
   risk premiums that market participant would require.
The following table provides information for assets reported at fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents (other than money-market funds, which are recorded on a reported net asset value basis disclosed below), accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Registered investment companies are classified as available-for-sale securities and are valued using quoted prices in active markets multiplied by the number of shares owned.
The Company has not elected to carry its long-term debt at fair value. The carrying value of the long-term debt represents amortized cost. The Company assesses the fair value of its long-term debt based on quoted market prices if available, and if not, an estimate of interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar features, the Company’s current credit rating and spreads applicable to the Company. The fair value of the long-term debt would be a Level 2 liability if the long-term debt was measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of the long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively:

5. Acquisitions:
2012 Acquisitions
On December 20, 2012, the Company acquired the net assets of Insurance Risk Management Solutions (“IRMS”). IRMS provided integrated property risk assessment technology underlying one of the Company’s geographic information system (“GIS”) underwriting solutions. At the end of 2012, the long-term contract with IRMS was expiring and precipitated a change in the business relationship. Instead of continuing forward with a new service agreement, the Company acquired IRMS as this will enable the Company to better manage, enhance and continue to use the solutions as part of its Risk Assessment segment. The Company paid a net cash purchase price of $26,422 and funded $1,000 of indemnity escrows.
On August 31, 2012, the Company acquired Argus Information & Advisory Services, LLC (“Argus”), a provider of information, competitive benchmarking, scoring solutions, analytics, and customized services to financial institutions and regulators in North America, Latin America, and Europe, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $404,995 and funded $20,000 of indemnity escrows. Argus leverages its comprehensive payment data sets and provides proprietary solutions to a client base that includes credit and debit card issuers, retail banks and other consumer financial services providers, payment processors, insurance companies, and other industry stakeholders. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, this acquisition enhances the Company’s position as a provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to financial institutions globally.
On July 2, 2012, the Company acquired the net assets of Aspect Loss Prevention, LLC (“ALP”), a provider of loss prevention and analytic solutions to the retail, entertainment, and food industries, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $6,917 and funded $800 of indemnity escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, ALP further advances the Company’s position as a provider of data, crime analytics, and decision-support solutions.
On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of MediConnect Global, Inc. (“MediConnect”), a service provider of medical record retrieval, digitization, coding, extraction, and analysis, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $331,405 and funded $17,000 of indemnity escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, MediConnect further supports the Company’s objective as the leading provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to the healthcare and property casualty industry.
The preliminary allocations of the purchase prices for IRMS as disclosed as of December 31, 2012 is subject to revisions as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The revisions may have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The allocations of the purchase price will be finalized once all information is obtained, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis is presented below as if the acquisitions of MediConnect and Argus occurred at the beginning of the year 2012. The pro forma information for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 presented below is based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable and not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had these acquisitions been completed at the beginning of 2012. The unaudited pro forma information includes intangible asset amortization charges and incremental borrowing costs as a result of the acquisitions, net of related tax, estimated using the Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30:

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the current portion of the escrows amounted to $22,985 and $29,277, and the noncurrent portion of the escrow amounted to $5,000 and $26,803, respectively. The current and noncurrent portions of the escrows have been included in “Other current assets” and “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

These balances are net of accumulated impairment charges of $3,244 that occurred prior to December 31, 2012.
The Company finalized the purchase accounting for the acquisitions of MediConnect, ALP and Argus during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The impact of the finalization of the purchase accounting for these acquisitions was not material to the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are subject to impairment testing annually as of June 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing compares the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, including goodwill assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company completed the required annual impairment test as of June 30, 2013, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill. There were no goodwill impairment indicators after the date of the last annual impairment test.

7. Income Taxes:
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 36.19%, and 36.34%, respectively, compared to the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 of 39.31% and 39.38%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is lower than the September 30, 2012 effective tax rate primarily due to the continued execution of tax planning strategies and favorable settlements and resolution of uncertain tax positions. The difference between statutory tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily attributable to state taxes and nondeductible share appreciation from the ISO 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“KSOP”).

9. Stockholders’ Equity:
The Company has 1,200,000,000 shares of authorized Class A common stock. The common shares have rights to any dividend declared by the board of directors, subject to any preferential or other rights of any outstanding preferred stock, and voting rights to elect all twelve members of the board of directors.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company has authorized repurchases up to $1,200,000 of its common stock through its Repurchase Program, including the additional $300,000 authorized by the board of directors in June 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $282,111 available to repurchase shares. The Company has no obligation to repurchase stock under this program and intends to use this authorization as a means of offsetting dilution from the issuance of shares under the KSOP, the Verisk 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”), the Verisk 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”), and the ISO 1996 Incentive Plan (the “1996 Incentive Plan”), while providing flexibility to repurchase additional shares if warranted. This authorization has no expiration date and may be increased, reduced, suspended, or terminated at any time. Repurchased shares will be recorded as treasury stock and will be available for future issuance as part of the Repurchase Program.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 2,707,562 shares of common stock as part of this program at a weighted average price of $59.86 per share. The Company utilized cash from operations to fund these repurchases. As treasury stock purchases are recorded based on trade date, the Company has included $2,622 in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for those purchases that have not settled as of September 30, 2013.
Treasury Stock
As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s treasury stock consisted of 375,782,447 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reissued 3,201,080 shares of common stock from the treasury shares at a weighted average price of $4.44 per share.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding, using the treasury stock method, if the dilutive potential common shares, including stock options, nonvested restricted stock, and nonvested deferred stock units, had been issued.

10. Equity Compensation Plans:
All of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, including stock options and restricted stock, are covered under the 2013 Incentive Plan, 2009 Incentive Plan or 1996 Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan may include one or more of the following types: (i) stock options (both nonqualified and incentive stock options), (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards (including cash), and (vi) other share based awards. Employees, directors and consultants are eligible for awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The Company issued common stock under these plans from the Company’s treasury shares. On May 15, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2013 Incentive Plan effective March 15, 2013. There are 15,700,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan. Shares subject to awards granted subsequent to March 15, 2013, whether under the 2013 Incentive Plan or the 2009 Incentive Plan, with certain exceptions, will reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2013, there were 14,306,681 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan. Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $51,326 and $43,571, respectively.
On April 1, 2013, the Company granted 804,726 nonqualified stock options and 208,881 shares of restricted stock to key employees, as well as 20,445 deferred stock units to the directors of the Company. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, with a ten-year contractual term and a service vesting period of four years. The restricted stock is valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and has a service vesting period of four years. The Company recognizes the expense of the restricted stock ratably over the vesting period. The restricted stock is not assignable or transferable until it becomes vested. The deferred stock units are valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, have a one-year vesting period, and will be distributed to the directors upon retirement or other separation from the board of directors.
On July 1, 2013, the Company granted 7,535 shares of common stock, 27,494 nonqualified stock options that were immediately vested, 54,032 nonqualified stock options with a one-year service vesting period, and 11,319 deferred stock units to the directors of the Company. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date and a ten-year contractual term.
The fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table:

The expected term for a majority of the stock options granted was estimated based on studies of historical experience and projected exercise behavior. However, for certain stock options granted, for which no historical exercise pattern exists, the expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected term of the equity award. The volatility factor was based on the average volatility of the Company’s peers, calculated using historical daily closing prices over the most recent period that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock option award. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected annual dividend rate on the date of grant.

Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock as of the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, excess tax benefit from exercised stock options is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and a corresponding reduction in income taxes payable. This tax benefit is calculated as the excess of the intrinsic value of options exercised in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. The amount of the tax benefit that has been realized, as a result of those excess tax benefits, is presented as a financing cash inflow within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded excess tax benefit from stock options exercised of $44,799 and $63,461, respectively. The Company realized $81,689 and $55,056 of tax benefit within the Company’s quarterly tax payments through September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company estimates expected forfeitures of equity awards at the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards that the Company expects to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Changes in the forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the requisite service period and may impact the timing of expense recognized over the requisite service period.

As of September 30, 2013, there was $45,394 of total unrecognized compensation costs, exclusive of the impact of vesting upon retirement eligibility, related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2009 and 2013 Incentive Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.66 years. As of September 30, 2013, there were 2,512,240 and 389,350 nonvested stock options and restricted stock, respectively, of which 2,070,908 and 312,823 are expected to vest. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $13,177 and $15,559, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5,063 and $2,227, respectively.
The Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) commenced on October 1, 2012 and offers eligible employees the opportunity to authorize payroll deductions of up to 20.00% of their regular base salary and up to 50.00% of their short-term incentive compensation, both of which in total may not exceed $25 in any calendar year, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5.00% discount of its fair market value at the time of purchase. In accordance with ASC 718, the ESPP is noncompensatory as the purchase discount is 5.00% or less from the fair market value, substantially all employees that meet limited employment qualifications may participate, and it incorporates no option features. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 21,564 shares of common stock at a weighted discounted price of $58.79.
On April 20, 2013, the employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) refinanced its intercompany loan between the Company and the KSOP, thereby extending the allocation of the remaining unreleased shares through 2016. As a part of this new loan

agreement, the Company is required to contribute an additional $9,000, plus interest, of cash or shares to the ESOP by 2016. Earlier contribution is at the Company’s discretion.
11. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:
The Company maintained a qualified defined benefit pension plan for certain of its employees through membership in the Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the “Pension Plan”), a multiple-employer trust. The Company has applied a cash balance formula to determine future benefits. Under the cash balance formula, each participant has an account, which is credited annually based on salary rates determined by years of service, as well as the interest earned on the previous year-end cash balance. The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental cash balance plan (“SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is funded from the general assets of the Company. Effective February 29, 2012, the Company instituted a hard freeze, which eliminated all future compensation and service credits, to all participants in the Pension Plan and SERP.
The Company also provides healthcare and life insurance benefits to certain qualifying active and retired employees. The Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Plan (the “Postretirement Plan”), which has been frozen, is contributory, requiring participants to pay a stated percentage of the premium for coverage.

12. Segment Reporting:
ASC 280-10, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“ASC 280-10”), establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. ASC 280-10 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President is identified as the CODM as defined by ASC 280-10. To align with the internal management of the Company’s business operations based on service offerings, the Company is organized into the following two operating segments, which are also the Company’s reportable segments:
Decision Analytics: The Company develops solutions that its customers use to analyze the three key processes in managing risk: ‘prediction of loss’, ‘detection and prevention of fraud’ and ‘quantification of loss’. The Company’s combination of algorithms and analytic methods incorporates its proprietary data to generate solutions in each of these three categories. In

18

Table of Contents

most cases, the Company’s customers integrate the solutions into their models, formulas or underwriting criteria in order to predict potential loss events, ranging from hurricanes and earthquakes to unanticipated healthcare claims. The Company develops catastrophe and extreme event models and offers solutions covering natural and man-made risks, including acts of terrorism. The Company also develops solutions that allow customers to quantify costs after loss events occur. Fraud solutions include data on claim histories, analysis of mortgage applications to identify misinformation, analysis of claims to find emerging patterns of fraud, and identification of suspicious claims in the insurance, mortgage and healthcare sectors. The Company discloses revenue within this segment based on the industry vertical groupings of insurance, financial services, healthcare and specialized markets.
Risk Assessment: The Company is the leading provider of statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. The Company’s databases include cleansed and standardized records describing premiums and losses in insurance transactions, casualty and property risk attributes for commercial buildings and their occupants and fire suppression capabilities of municipalities. The Company uses this data to create policy language and proprietary risk classifications that are industry standards and to generate prospective loss cost estimates used to price insurance policies. Effective December 31, 2012, the Company combined the statistical agency and data services and actuarial services into industry-standard insurance programs within the Risk Assessment segment. There have been no changes in reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280-10.
The two aforementioned operating segments represent the segments for which separate discrete financial information is available and upon which operating results are regularly evaluated by the CODM in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company uses EBITDA as the profitability measure for making decisions regarding ongoing operations. EBITDA is net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. EBITDA is the measure of operating results used to assess corporate performance and optimal utilization of debt and acquisitions. Operating expenses consist of direct and indirect costs principally related to personnel, facilities, software license fees, consulting, travel, and third-party information services. Indirect costs are generally allocated to the segments using fixed rates established by management based upon estimated expense contribution levels and other assumptions that management considers reasonable. The Company does not allocate interest expense and provision for income taxes, since these items are not considered in evaluating the segment’s overall operating performance. The CODM does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on assets. On a geographic basis, no individual country outside of the U.S. accounted for 1.00% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. No individual country outside of the U.S. accounted for 1.00% or more of total consolidated long-term assets as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

14. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company is a party to legal proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the ordinary course of business, including the matters described below. With respect to ongoing matters, the Company is unable, at the present time, to determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because the matters are generally in early stages and discovery has either not commenced or been completed. Although the Company believes it has strong defenses and intends to vigorously defend these matters, the Company could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Intellicorp Records, Inc. Litigation
On April 20, 2012, the Company was served with a class action complaint filed in Alameda County Superior Court in California naming the Company’s subsidiary Intellicorp Records, Inc. (“Intellicorp”) titled Jane Roe v. Intellicorp Records, Inc. The complaint alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and claimed that Intellicorp failed to implement reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the adverse information contained in the background reports, failed to maintain strict procedures to ensure that criminal record information provided to employers is complete and up to date, and failed to notify class members contemporaneously of the fact that criminal record information was being provided to their employers and prospective employers. Intellicorp removed the case to the United States District Court of the Northern District of California. The California Court later granted Intellicorp’s motion to transfer the case, which is now pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. On October 24, 2012 plaintiffs served their First Amended Complaint (the “Roe Complaint”) alleging a nationwide putative class action on behalf of all persons who were the subject of a Criminal SuperSearch or other “instant” consumer background report furnished to a third party by Intellicorp for employment purposes, and whose report contained any negative public record of criminal arrest, charge, or conviction without also disclosing the final disposition of the charges during the 5 years preceding the filing of this action through the date class certification is granted. The Roe Complaint seeks statutory damages for the class in an amount not less than one hundred dollars and not more than one thousand dollars per violation, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. On February 4, 2013, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to amend the Roe Complaint to eliminate the named plaintiff’s individual claim for compensatory damages. This amendment did not change the breadth or scope of the request for relief sought on behalf of the proposed class. Plaintiffs later amended their class definition in their motion for class certification to include only those consumers whose (1) Criminal SuperSearch returned results, but Single County search returned no result; (2) Criminal SuperSearch returned one or more criminal charges without a disposition, but the Single County search returned a disposition other than “conviction” or “guilty” and (3) Criminal SuperSearch returned a higher level of offense (felony or misdemeanor) for one or more criminal charges than the Single County search (misdemeanor or infraction.) This amendment reduces the size of the potential class, but does not alter the time period for which the plaintiffs seek to certify a class or the scope of the request for relief sought on behalf of the proposed class. Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was fully submitted on March 18, 2013 and oral argument was heard by Judge Gwin on June 27, 2013.
On November 1, 2012, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio naming the Company’s subsidiary Intellicorp Records, Inc. titled Michael R. Thomas v. Intellicorp Records, Inc. On January 7, 2013 plaintiff served its First Amended Complaint (the “Thomas Complaint”) to add Mark A. Johnson (the plaintiff in the Johnson v. iiX matter described below) as a named plaintiff. The Thomas Complaint alleges a nationwide putative class action for violations of FCRA on behalf of “[a]ll natural persons residing in the United States (a) who were the subject of a report sold by Intellicorp to a third party, (b) that was furnished for an employment purpose, (c) that contained at least one public record of a criminal conviction or arrest, civil lien, bankruptcy or civil judgment, (d) within five years next preceding the filing of this action and during its pendency, and (e) to whom Intellicorp did not place in the United States mail postage-prepaid, on the day it furnished any part of the report, a written notice that it was furnishing the subject report and containing the name of the person that was to receive the report.” The Thomas Complaint proposes an alternative subclass as follows: “[a]ll natural persons residing in Ohio or Tennessee (a) who were the subject of a report sold by Intellicorp to a third party, (b) that was furnished for an employment purpose, (c) that contained at least one public record of a criminal conviction or arrest, civil lien, bankruptcy or civil judgment, (d) within five years next preceding the filing of this action and during its pendency, (e) when a mutual review of the record would reveal that the identity associated with the public record does not match the identity of the class member about whom the report was furnished, and (f) to whom Intellicorp did not place in the United States mail postage pre-paid, on the day it furnished any part of the report, a written notice that it was furnishing the subject report and containing the name of the person that was to receive the report.” Similar to the Roe action, the Thomas Complaint alleges that Intellicorp violated the FCRA, asserting that Intellicorp violated section 1681k(a)(1) of the FCRA because it failed to provide notice to the plaintiffs “at the time” the adverse public record information was reported. The named plaintiffs also allege individual claims under section 1681e(b) claiming that Intellicorp failed to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the preparation of the consumer report it furnished pertaining to plaintiffs. The Thomas Complaint seeks statutory damages for the class in an amount not less than one hundred

dollars and not more than one thousand dollars per violation, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of the named plaintiffs.

iiX Litigation
On January 3, 2013 the Company received service of a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio naming the Company’s subsidiary Insurance Information Exchange (“iiX”) titled Mark A. Johnson v. Insurance Information Exchange, LLC (the “Johnson Complaint”). The Johnson Complaint alleges a nationwide putative class action on behalf of “[a]ll natural persons residing in the United States who were the subject of a consumer report prepared by iiX for employment purposes within five (5) years prior to the filing of this Complaint and to whom iiX did not provide notice of the fact that public record information which is likely to have an adverse effect upon the consumer’s ability to obtain employment, is being reported by iiX, together with the name and address of the person to whom such information is being reported at the time such public record information is reported to the user of such consumer report.” Similar to the Thomas matter, the Johnson Complaint alleges violations of section 1681k(a) of the FCRA claiming that iiX failed to notify customers contemporaneously that criminal record information was provided to a prospective employer and failed to maintain strict procedures to ensure that the information reported is complete and up to date. The Johnson Complaint seeks statutory damages for the class in an amount not less than one hundred dollars and not more than one thousand dollars per violation, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees.

On October 18, 2013 the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement resolving the Roe, Thomas and Johnson matters which Judge Gwin approved on October 29, 2013 subject to a hearing on Final Approval. The Stipulation of Settlement provides for a payment of $18,600 all of which is to be provided by insurance. Accordingly, if the Stipulation of Settlement is approved at the hearing on Final Approval, the settlement of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Interthinx, Inc. Litigation
On May 13, 2013 the Company was served with a putative class action titled Celeste Shaw v. Interthinx, Inc., Verisk Analytics, Inc. and Jeffrey Moyer. The plaintiff is a current employee of the Company’s subsidiary Interthinx, Inc. based in Colorado, who filed the class action in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of all fraud detection employees who have worked for Interthinx for the last three years nationwide and who were classified as exempt employees. The class complaint claims that the fraud detection employees were misclassified as exempt employees and, as a result, were denied certain wages and benefits that would have been received if they were properly classified as non-exempt employees. It pleads three causes of action against defendants: (1) Collective Action under section 216(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act for unpaid overtime (nationwide class); (2) A Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 class action under the Colorado Wage Act and Wage Order for unpaid overtime and (3) A Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 class action under Colorado Wage Act for unpaid commissions/nondiscretionary bonuses (Colorado class). The complaint seeks compensatory damages, penalties that are associated with the various statutes, declaratory and injunctive relief interest, costs and attorneys’ fees.

Interthinx, Inc. and Verisk Analytics, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K, or 2012 10-K, dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2013. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those listed under “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” in our 2012 10-K.
We enable risk-bearing businesses to better understand and manage their risks. We provide value to our customers by supplying proprietary data that, combined with our analytic methods, creates embedded decision support solutions. We are the largest aggregator and provider of data pertaining to U.S. property and casualty, or P&C, insurance risks. We offer solutions for detecting fraud in the U.S. P&C insurance, financial services and healthcare industries and sophisticated methods to predict and quantify loss in diverse contexts ranging from natural catastrophes to supply chain to health insurance.
Our customers use our solutions to make better risk decisions with greater efficiency and discipline. We refer to these products and services as “solutions” due to the integration among our products and the flexibility that enables our customers to purchase components or the comprehensive package of products. These solutions take various forms, including data, statistical models or tailored analytics, all designed to allow our clients to make more logical decisions. We believe our solutions for analyzing risk positively impact our customers' revenues and help them better manage their costs.
We organize our business in two segments: Risk Assessment and Decision Analytics. Our Risk Assessment segment provides statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. Our Risk Assessment segment revenues represented approximately 37% and 39% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our Decision Analytics segment provides solutions to our customers within four vertical market-related groupings of insurance, financial services, healthcare, and specialized markets. Our Decision Analytics segment revenues represented approximately 63% and 61% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Executive Summary
Key Performance Metrics    
We believe our business's ability to generate recurring revenue and positive cash flow is the key indicator of the successful execution of our business strategy. We use year-over-year revenue growth and EBITDA margin as metrics to measure our performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (See footnote 1 within the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
Revenue growth. We use year-over-year revenue growth as a key performance metric. We assess revenue growth based on our ability to generate increased revenue through increased sales to existing customers, sales to new customers, sales of new or expanded solutions to existing and new customers, and strategic acquisitions of new businesses.
EBITDA margin. We use EBITDA margin as a metric to assess segment performance and scalability of our business. We assess EBITDA margin based on our ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth.
Revenues
We earn revenues through subscriptions, long-term agreements and on a transactional basis. Subscriptions for our solutions are generally paid in advance of rendering services either quarterly or in full upon commencement of the subscription period, which is usually for one year and automatically renewed each year. As a result, the timing of our cash flows generally precedes our recognition of revenues and income and our cash flow from operations tends to be higher in the first quarter as we receive subscription payments. Examples of these arrangements include subscriptions that allow our customers to access our standardized coverage language, our claims fraud database or our actuarial services throughout the subscription period. For our subscriptions arrangements, we experience minimal revenue seasonality within the business. Our long-term agreements are generally for periods of three to five years. We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the term of the subscription and most long-term agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
Certain of our solutions are also paid for by our customers on a transactional basis. For example, we have solutions that allow our customers to access fraud detection tools in the context of an individual mortgage application or loan, obtain property-specific rating and underwriting information to price a policy on a commercial building, or compare a P&C insurance, medical or workers' compensation claim with information in our databases. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 ,

35

Table of Contents

approximately 32% of our revenues, were derived from providing transactional solutions. We earn transactional revenues as our solutions are delivered or services performed. In general, transactions are billed monthly at the end of each month.
Approximately 88% and 87% of the revenues in our Risk Assessment segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were derived from subscriptions and long-term agreements for our solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the United States. Approximately 57% and 55% of the revenues in our Decision Analytics segment, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were derived from subscriptions and long-term agreements for our solutions. In this segment, our customer bases are within the insurance, healthcare, financial services, and specialized markets verticals.
Principal Operating Costs and Expenses
Personnel expenses are the major component of both our cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses include salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, equity compensation costs, sales commissions, employment taxes, recruiting costs, and outsourced temporary agency costs, which represented 61% and 63% of our total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
We allocate personnel expenses between two categories, cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense, based on the actual costs associated with each employee. We categorize employees who maintain our solutions as cost of revenues, and all other personnel, including executive managers, sales people, marketing, business development, finance, legal, human resources, and administrative services, as selling, general and administrative expenses. A significant portion of our other operating costs, such as facilities and communications, is also either captured within cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the work being performed.
While we expect to grow our headcount over time to take advantage of our market opportunities, we believe that the economies of scale in our operating model will allow us to grow our personnel expenses at a lower rate than revenues. Historically, our EBITDA margin has improved because we have been able to increase revenues without a proportionate corresponding increase in expenses. However, part of our corporate strategy is to invest in new solutions which may partially offset margin expansion.
Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel expenses. Cost of revenues also includes the expenses associated with the acquisition and verification of data, the maintenance of our existing solutions and the development and enhancement of our next-generation solutions. Our cost of revenues excludes depreciation and amortization.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Our selling, general and administrative expenses also consist primarily of personnel costs. A portion of the other operating costs such as facilities, insurance and communications is also allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the work being performed by the employee. Our selling, general and administrative expenses exclude depreciation and amortization.
Description of Acquisitions
As a result of the acquisitions described below, our consolidated results of operations may not be comparable between periods. See Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information.
On December 20, 2012, we acquired the net assets of Insurance Risk Management Solutions, or IRMS. IRMS provided integrated property risk assessment technology underlying one of our GIS (geographic information system) underwriting solutions. At the end of 2012, the long-term contract (since 1992) with IRMS was expiring and precipitated a change in our business relationship. Instead of continuing forward with a new services agreement, we acquired the technology and service assets of IRMS as this will enable us to better manage, enhance and continue to use the solutions as part of our Risk Assessment segment.
On August 31, 2012, we acquired Argus Information & Advisory Services, LLC, or Argus, a provider of information, competitive benchmarking, scoring solutions, analytics, and customized services to financial institutions and regulators in North America, Latin America, and Europe. Argus leverages its comprehensive payment data sets and provides proprietary solutions to a client base that includes credit and debit card issuers, retail banks and other consumer financial services providers, payment processors, insurance companies and other industry stakeholders. Within our Decision Analytics segment, this acquisition enhances our position as a provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to financial institutions globally.

Table of Contents

On July 2, 2012, we acquired the net assets of Aspect Loss Prevention, LLC, or ALP, a provider of loss prevention and analytic solutions to the retail, entertainment, and food industries. Within our Decision Analytics segment, this acquisition further advances our position as a provider of data, crime analytics, and decision-support solutions.
On March 30, 2012, we acquired 100% of the stock of MediConnect Global, Inc., or MediConnect, a service provider of medical record retrieval, digitization, coding, extraction, and analysis. Within our Decision Analytics segment, MediConnect further supports our objective to be the leading provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to the healthcare and property casualty industries.

EBITDA is the financial measure which management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. “EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. In addition, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes references to EBITDA margin, which is computed as EBITDA divided by revenues. See Note 12 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q filing.
Although EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations or cash flows from operating activities reported under GAAP. Management uses EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are:

38

Table of Contents

EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Revenues were $1,263.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,118.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 , an increase of $144.6 million or 12.9%. In 2012, we acquired the following companies, MediConnect, ALP, and Argus, collectively referred to as recent acquisitions, which we define as acquisitions not owned for a significant portion of both the current period and/or prior period and would therefore impact the comparability of the financial results. MediConnect was noted as a recent acquisition only for the first quarter of 2013 and ALP was noted as a recent acquisition only for the first and second quarter of 2013. These recent acquisitions were within our Decision Analytics segment and provided an increase of $68.0 million in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Excluding recent acquisitions, revenues increased $76.6 million or 6.9%, which included an increase in our Decision Analytics segment of $47.7 million or 7.0% and an increase in our Risk Assessment segment of $28.9 million or 6.7%. Revenue growth within Decision Analytics was primarily driven by an increase in our healthcare revenue category and contributions from our insurance revenue category, offset by a decrease in our financial services revenue category, due to our mortgage services. Both categories, industry-standard insurance programs and property-specific rating and underwriting information, within Risk Assessment contributed to its revenue growth. Refer to the Results of Operations by Segment within this section for further information regarding our revenues.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $515.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $437.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $78.5 million or 18.0%. Recent acquisitions accounted for an increase of $36.8 million in costs, which were primarily related to salaries and employee benefits. Excluding the impact of our recent acquisitions, our cost of revenues increased $41.7 million or 9.6%. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits cost of $27.4 million. Other increases include data costs of $4.9 million, information technology expenses of $4.5 million, travel and travel related costs of $1.9 million and other operating expenses of $3.0 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SGA, were $179.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $175.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.3 million or 2.5%. Excluding costs associated with our recent acquisitions of $3.8 million, which were primarily related to salaries and employee benefits, SGA increased $0.5 million or 0.3%. The increase was due to an increase in professional fees of $1.0 million and other general expenses of $1.1 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $1.6 million primarily related to a reduction in stock option expense. Our stock option expense decreased as a result of lower accelerated vesting of equity awards granted to employees at age 62.
Depreciation and Amortization of Fixed Assets
Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets was $49.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $12.3 million or 32.8%. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets includes depreciation of furniture and equipment, software, computer hardware, and related equipment. The majority of the increase relates to software and hardware costs to support data capacity expansion and revenue growth as well as due to recent acquisitions of $2.3 million.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $49.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to

Table of Contents

$36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $13.6 million or 37.5%. The increase was primarily related to amortization of intangible assets associated with recent acquisitions of $16.0 million, partially offset by $2.4 million of amortization of intangible assets primarily associated with prior acquisitions that have been fully amortized.
Investment Income and Realized Gain (Loss) on Available-for-Sale Securities, Net
Investment income and realized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net, was a gain of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $0.1 million.

The provision for income taxes was $149.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $149.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.8 million or 0.6%. The effective tax rate was 36.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 39.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was lower than the September 30, 2012 effective tax rate primarily due to the continued execution of tax planning strategies and favorable settlements and resolution of uncertain tax positions.
EBITDA Margin
The EBITDA margin for our consolidated results was 45.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 45.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the recent acquisitions mitigated our margin expansion by approximately 0.3%.

EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for our Risk Assessment segment was 55.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 54.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in margin is primarily attributed to operating leverage in the segment as well as cost efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $184.7 million and $94.7 million, respectively. Subscriptions for our solutions are billed and generally paid in advance of rendering services either quarterly or in full upon commencement of the subscription period, which is usually for one year. Subscriptions are automatically renewed at the beginning of each calendar year. We have historically generated significant cash flows from operations. As a result of this factor, as well as the availability of funds under our $850.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility, we believe that we will have sufficient cash to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, and to fuel our future growth plans.
We have historically managed the business with a working capital deficit due to the fact that, as described above, we offer our solutions and services primarily through annual subscriptions or long-term contracts, which are generally prepaid quarterly or annually in advance of the services being rendered. When cash is received for prepayment of invoices, we record an asset (cash and cash equivalents) on our balance sheet with the offset recorded as a current liability (fees received in advance). This current liability is deferred revenue that does not require a direct cash outflow since our customers have prepaid and are obligated to purchase the services. In most businesses, growth in revenue typically leads to an increase in the accounts receivable balance . Unlike those businesses, our cash position is favorably affected by revenue growth, which results in a source of cash due to our customers prepaying for most of our services.
Our capital expenditures, which include noncash purchases of fixed assets and capital lease obligations, as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were 9.1% and 5.1%, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to our investment initiatives for development of new solutions. The expected capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2013, will be approximately $160.0 million, which we expect to primarily include expenditures on our technology infrastructure and our continuing investments in developing and enhancing our solutions. Expenditures related to developing and enhancing our solutions are predominately related to internal use software and are capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." We also capitalize amounts in accordance with ASC 985-20, "Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed."
We historically used a portion of our cash for repurchases of our common stock . During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we repurchased $162.1 million and $127.8 million of our common stock, respectively. 
In prior years, we provided pension and postretirement benefits to certain qualifying active employees and retirees. On February 29, 2012, we instituted a hard freeze, which eliminated all future compensation and service credits, to all participants in the pension plans. Under the postretirement plan, we provided certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to qualifying participants; however, participants are required to pay a stated percentage of the premium coverage. The expected contributions to the pension and postretirement plans for the year ending December 31, 2013 are consistent with the amounts previously disclosed as of December 31, 2012. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information.
Financing and Financing Capacity
We had total debt, excluding capital lease and other obligations, of $1,299.9 million and $1,454.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The debt at September 30, 2013 was issued under our long-term private placement loan facilities and senior notes issued in 2012 and 2011 to finance our stock repurchases and acquisitions.
Our $850.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility (“credit facility”) is due October 2017 and is a committed facility. We have financed and expect to finance our short-term working capital needs, stock repurchases and acquisitions through cash from operations and borrowings from our credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repaid $10 million of borrowings that were outstanding under the credit facility as of December 31, 2012. We did not make any additional borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  As of September 30, 2013, we had $850.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our credit facility. In October 2013, we amended our credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $850.0 million to $975.0 million and extend the maturity date from October 24, 2017 to October 24, 2018.
The credit facility contains certain customary financial and other covenants that, among other things, impose certain

44

Table of Contents

restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and capital expenditures. These covenants also place restrictions on mergers, asset sales, sale/leaseback transactions, payments between us and our subsidiaries, and certain transactions with affiliates. The financial covenants require that, at the end of any fiscal quarter, we have a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and that we maintain a consolidated funded debt leverage ratio below 3.50 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2013.
We had long-term private placement loan facilities under uncommitted master shelf agreements with Prudential Capital Group, or Prudential, and New York Life that expired on August 30, 2013 and March 16, 2013, respectively.  We did not extend these agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repaid a total of $145.0 million of our outstanding long-term private placement loan facilities debt that matured in April 2013 and August 2013, with cash from operations. In October 2013, we repaid $35 million of our outstanding long-term private placement loan facility debt with a maturity date of October 26, 2013 with cash from operations.
The notes outstanding under the long-term private placement loan facilities mature over the next three years. Individual borrowings are made at a fixed rate of interest determined at the time of the borrowing and interest is payable quarterly. The weighted average rate of interest with respect to our outstanding borrowings under these facilities was 6.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The uncommitted master shelf agreements contain certain covenants that limit our ability to create liens, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell assets to another company. Our shelf agreements also contain financial covenants that require that, at the end of any fiscal quarter, we have a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and that we maintain a consolidated funded debt leverage ratio below 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under our master shelf agreements as of September 30, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, we had senior notes with aggregate principal amount of $1,050.0 million. The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by ISO and certain subsidiaries that guarantee our credit facility, or any amendment, refinancing or replacement thereof. The indenture governing the senior notes restricts our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, create certain liens, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and consolidate with, sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our assets, or merge with or into, any other person or entity.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $386.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $321.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash collections from customers, partially offset by an increase in operating expense and interest payments related to our bond offerings. In the second quarter of 2012, we pre-funded $72.0 million to our pension plan. This prefunding was offset by the tax benefit associated with those deductible contributions and the deferral of our fourth quarter 2012 tax payment to 2013 as a result of a temporary federal tax relief program related to Hurricane Sandy. This payment would have typically been paid in the fourth quarter, but due to this relief, the payment was made in the first quarter of 2013.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $107.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $838.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the fact that we had acquired MediConnect and Argus in the first and third quarter of 2012 for $348.3 million and $425.0 million, respectively, versus minor acquisition activity in 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business from those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2013, except as noted below.
On April 20, 2013, the employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, refinanced its intercompany loan, thereby extending the allocation of the remaining unreleased shares through 2016. As part of this new loan agreement, we were required to contribute an additional $9.0 million of cash or shares, plus interest, to the ESOP by 2016. Earlier contribution is at our discretion (See Note 10 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q). We expect our contractual obligations payments for the Other long-term liabilities to change to the following amounts: 2-3 years $0.3 million; 4-5 years $18.8 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements require management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, pension and other post retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these assumptions or conditions. Some of the judgments that management makes in applying its accounting estimates in these areas are discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2013. Since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based upon the foregoing assessments, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
