NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in millions, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Organization:

Verisk Analytics, Inc. is a data analytics provider serving customers in insurance and energy. Using various technologies to collect and analyze billions of records, we draw on numerous data assets and domain expertise to provide first-to-market innovations that are integrated into customer workflows. We offer predictive analytics and decision support solutions to customers in rating, underwriting, claims, catastrophe and weather risk, global risk analytics, natural resources intelligence, economic forecasting, and many other fields. Around the world, we help customers protect people, property, and financial assets.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Our 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 and intangibles, the realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities, acquisition-related liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation for stock options and performance share units granted, and assets and liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 SEC. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading.

Our operating segments have historically been Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services. On March 11, 2022 and April 8, 2022, we sold our environmental health and safety business, which represented the “specialized markets” in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment, and our Financial Services segment, respectively. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion. For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to show only the historical results of these dispositions in their respective previous operating segments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Business Combinations (Topic 805) In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update "ASU" No. 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU No. 2021-08")	This amendment requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification "ASC" 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. An acquirer should assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. If the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. In circumstances in which the acquirer is unable to assess or rely on how the acquiree applied ASC 606, the acquirer should consider the terms of the acquired contracts, such as timing of payment, identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and allocate the total transaction price to each identified performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis as of the date the acquiree entered into the contracts to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date.	Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted.	We elected to early adopt ASU No. 2021-08 on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis to all business combinations that occurred on or after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Revenues:

Disaggregated revenues by type of service and by country are provided below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. No individual customer or country outside of the U.S. accounted for 10.0% or more of our consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

Table of Contents

Contract assets are defined as an entity's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no contract assets. Contract liabilities are defined as an entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contract liabilities that primarily related to unsatisfied performance obligations to provide customers with the right to use and update the online content over the remaining contract term of $561.3 million and $504.8 million, respectively. Contract liabilities, which are current and noncurrent, are included in "Deferred revenues" and "Other noncurrent liabilities" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following is a summary of the change in contract liabilities from December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022:

Contract Liabilities at December 31, 2021	$	504.8
Revenue		(2,267.1	)
Acquisitions		3.4
Dispositions		(61.0	)
Billings		2,381.2
Contract Liabilities at September 30, 2022	$	561.3

Our most significant remaining performance obligations relate to providing customers with the right to use and update the online content over the remaining contract term. Our disclosure of the timing for satisfying the performance obligation is based on the requirements of contracts with customers. However, from time to time, these contracts may be subject to modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance obligations. These performance obligations, which are expected to be satisfied within one year, comprised approximately 97% of the balance at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We recognize an asset for incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefits of those costs to be longer than one year. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred commissions of $88.3 million and $86.8 million, respectively, which have been included in "Prepaid expenses" and "Other noncurrent assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Investments and Fair Value Measurements:

We have certain assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. To increase consistency and comparability of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, Accounting Standards Codification ("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, we 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 or 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 participants would require.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts, because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Our investments in registered investment companies, which are Level 1 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, were $3.8 million and $5.0 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our investments in registered investment companies are valued using quoted prices in active markets multiplied by the number of shares owned and were included in "Other current assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

We elected not to carry our long-term debt at fair value. The carrying value of the long-term debt represents amortized cost, inclusive of unamortized premium, and net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. We assess the fair value of these financial instruments based on an estimate of interest rates available to us for financial instruments with similar features, our current credit rating, and spreads applicable to us. The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:

On March 23, 2022, we made an additional $37.0 million cash investment in Vexcel Group, Inc. ("Vexcel") for an additional 4.6% in ownership, bringing our interest to 43.3%. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had an investment of $181.1 million and $144.1 million, respectively, related to such interest. The value of our investment is based on management's estimates with the assistance of valuations performed by third-party specialists. This investment was included in "Other noncurrent assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had securities without readily determinable market values, inclusive of Vexcel, of $199.4 million and $161.6 million, respectively, which were accounted for at cost. We do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investees’ operating and financial policies and do not hold investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in such entities. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we also had investments in private companies of $28.3 million and $54.6 million, respectively, accounted for in accordance with ASC 323-10-25, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock ("ASC 323-10-25") as equity method investments. All such investments were included in "Other noncurrent assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was no provision for credit losses related to these investments.

5. Leases:

We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, data centers, and certain equipment that are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). The lease term for our corporate headquarters ends in 2033 and includes the options to extend for one 10-year renewal period and two 5-year renewal periods. The lease of our Jakarta, Indonesia office may be terminated in three months without penalty.

The following table presents lease cost and cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for finance and operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

6. Acquisitions:

2022 Acquisitions

On March 1, 2022, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of Opta Information Intelligence Corp. ("Opta") for a net cash purchase price of $217.5 million excluding working capital adjustments, of which $0.8 million represents indemnity escrows. Opta, a leading provider of property intelligence and innovative technology solutions in Canada, has become a part of the underwriting & rating category within our Insurance segment. We believe this acquisition further expands our footprint in the Canadian market and supports Verisk in reshaping risk management with valuable business intelligence.

On February 11, 2022, we acquired 100 percent of the membership interest of Infutor Data Solutions, LLC ("Infutor") for a net cash purchase price of $220.7 million excluding working capital adjustments, of which $1.5 million represents a working capital escrow, plus a contingent earn-out payment of up to $25.0 million subject to the achievement of certain revenue and other performance targets. Infutor, a leading provider of identity resolution and consumer intelligence data, has become a part of the underwriting & rating category within our Insurance segment. We believe this acquisition further enhances Verisk’s marketing solutions offerings to companies across several industries, including the insurance industry.

The "Other" column includes other immaterial acquisitions that have occurred during the period. The preliminary purchase price allocation of the 2022 acquisitions resulted in the following:

	*Opta*		*Infutor*		*Other*		*Total*
Cash and cash equivalents	$	0.4	$	17.0	$	—	$	17.4

Less: Cash acquired		0.4		17.0		—		17.4
Net cash purchase price	$	217.5	$	220.7	$	4.8	$	443.0

The preliminary amounts assigned to intangible assets by type for the 2022 acquisitions are summarized in the table below:

	*Weighted Average Useful Life (in years)*		*Total*
Technology-based		6	$	48.5
Marketing-related		4		2.0
Customer-related		13		118.6
Total intangible assets			$	169.1

The preliminary allocations of the purchase price for the 2022 and 2021 acquisitions with less than a year of ownership are subject to revisions as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of each acquisition date. The revisions may have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The allocations of the purchase price will be finalized once all the information that was known and knowable as of the acquisition date is obtained and analyzed, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to income and non-income taxes, deferred revenues, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, and residual goodwill. The goodwill associated with our acquisitions includes the acquired assembled workforce, the value associated with the opportunity to leverage the work force to continue to develop the technology and content assets, as well as our ability to grow through adding additional customer relationships or new solutions in the future. Of the $289.8 million in goodwill associated with our acquisitions, $150.0 million is not deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary amounts assigned to intangible assets by type for these acquisitions were based upon our valuation model and historical experiences with entities with similar business characteristics.

Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred transaction costs of $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The transaction costs were included within "Selling, general and administrative" expenses in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The 2022 acquisitions were immaterial to our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and therefore, supplemental information disclosure on an unaudited pro forma basis is not presented.

On March 22, 2022, we acquired an additional 16% ownership in Whitespace Software Limited ("Whitespace") for $8.2 million, bringing our total ownership interest to 67%. The remaining 33% ownership interest in Whitespace will be acquired by us, in two equal proportions over the next two years, at a purchase price determined based upon a fixed revenue multiple and adjusted for any free cash flow shortfall.

Acquisition Escrows and Related Liabilities

Pursuant to the related acquisition agreements, we have funded various escrow accounts to satisfy pre-acquisition indemnity and tax claims arising subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the current portion of the escrows amounted to $8.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and the noncurrent portion of the escrows amounted to $0.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The current and noncurrent portions of the escrows have been included in "Other current assets" and "Other noncurrent assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The acquisitions of Rebmark Legal Solutions Limited, ACTINEO GmbH, Data Driven Safety, LLC, and Infutor Data Solutions, LLC included acquisition-related contingent payments, for which the sellers of these acquisitions could receive additional payments by achieving the specific predetermined revenue, EBITDA, and/or EBITDA margin earn-out targets for exceptional performance. We believe that the liabilities recorded as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 reflect the best estimate of acquisition-related contingent payments. The associated current portion of contingent payments were $16.6 million and $0.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The associated noncurrent portion of contingent payments were $21.9 million and $21.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

7. Dispositions:

2022 Dispositions

On March 11, 2022, the sale of our environmental health and safety business ("3E Company Environmental, Ecological and Engineering"), which made up our Supply Chain reporting unit, within the Energy and Specialized Markets segment, was completed for proceeds of $575.0 million, net of cash and excluding contingent consideration. In the first quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain of $450.8 million. The major classes of assets and liabilities disposed of, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 11, 2022, are presented below. We assessed the sale of our environmental health and safety business per the guidance in ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, and determined that this transaction did not qualify as a discontinued operation as its total revenues and assets did not meet the thresholds exemplified in the guidance to represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.

On April 8, 2022, the sale of Verisk Financial Services, our Financial Services segment, to TransUnion, a global information and insights company, was completed for net cash proceeds of $498.3 million. An impairment loss of $73.7 million and a loss on the sale of $15.6 million were included in "Other operating income, net" within our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the first and second quarter of 2022, respectively. We assessed the sale of our Financial Services segment per the guidance in ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, and determined that this transaction did not qualify as a discontinued operation as its total revenues and assets did not meet the thresholds exemplified in the guidance to represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Verisk Financial Services generated revenue of $37.6 million in 2022.

In the third quarter of 2022, we incurred an additional loss of $7.8 million as part of the true up of the closing adjustments related to the dispositions of our environmental health and safety business and Verisk Financial Services.

The major classes of assets and liabilities disposed of, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 11, 2022 and April 8, 2022, respectively, are presented below.

⁽¹⁾See Note 6. Acquisitions for more information.

⁽²⁾See Note 7. Dispositions for more information.

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 an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. As of June 30, 2022, we completed the annual impairment review, in which goodwill impairment was tested at the reporting unit level. As part of our annual evaluation, we did not recognize any additional impairment charges related to our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Although at the time of the annual impairment test, all of our reporting units had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by greater than 20%, one of our reporting units had an excess that was only modestly higher. Therefore, any significant adverse change in our near or long-term financial projections, macroeconomic conditions, or other market indicators could result in a future material impairment charge for this reporting unit. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we continued to monitor these reporting units for events that would trigger an interim impairment test; we did not identify any such events.

There were no impairments to long lived assets for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Impairments to long-lived assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $73.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and are included within "Other operating loss (income), net" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the first quarter of 2022, we reassessed the recoverability of the long-lived assets for our Financial Services reporting unit and recorded a $73.7 million impairment.

Our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $36.6 million and $37.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $121.0 million and $133.1 million, respectively.

9. Income Taxes:

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 22.7% and 18.7% compared to the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 20.9% and 26.3%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the impact of reduced stock option exercises resulting in lower tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the deferred tax impact of the tax rate increase in the United Kingdom that was enacted and recorded in the prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was also lower than the prior period due to a tax rate benefit in connection with the sale of our environmental health and safety business for which a benefit was recognized for the difference between book and tax basis of our investment. The difference between statutory tax rates and our effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits attributable to equity compensation, offset by additional state and local taxes.

⁽¹⁾Refer to Note 5. Leases

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,350.0 million outstanding and were in compliance with our financial and other debt covenants.

As of September 30, 2022, we had a $1,000.0 million committed senior unsecured Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of America N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., First Commercial Bank, Ltd., Los Angeles Branch, TD Bank, N.A., and the Northern Trust Company. The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, and the share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and other debt covenants under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the available capacity under the Credit Facility was $55.2 million and $384.9 million, net of the letters of credit of $4.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have made repayments of $90.0 million and secured an additional $275.0 million in additional borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of this activity, we now have the ability to draw up to $420.2 million from our Credit Facility.

On September 9, 2022, we extended our $125.0 million Bilateral Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with Bank of America, N.A for 12 months with an agreed maturity date of October 2, 2023. The Term Loan carries an interest rate of 135 basis points plus the one-month Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") margin at the time. This loan may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, and the Repurchase Program.

11. Stockholders’ Equity:

We have 2,000,000,000 shares of authorized common stock as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our common shares have rights to any dividend declared by the board of directors (the "Board"), subject to any preferential or other rights of any outstanding preferred stock, and voting rights to elect all current members of the Board. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the adjusted closing price of our common stock was $170.53 and $227.90 per share, respectively.

We have 80,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The preferred shares have preferential rights over the common shares with respect to dividends and net distribution upon liquidation. We did not issue any preferred shares as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On February 16, 2022, April 27, 2022, and July 27, 2022, our Board approved a cash dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of March 15, 2022, June 15, 2022, and September 15, 2022. Cash dividends of $147.2 million and 141.0 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and recorded as a reduction to retained earnings, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2021, March 2022, and June 2022, we entered into Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreements to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million, $325.0 million, and $300.0 million with Citibank, N.A and Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, and Citibank, N.A., respectively. The ASR agreements are accounted for as treasury stock transactions and forward stock purchase agreements indexed to our common stock. The forward stock purchase agreement is classified as an equity instrument under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40") and deemed to have a fair value of zero at the respective effective date. Upon payment of the aggregate purchase price on January 4, 2022, April 1, 2022, and July 1, 2022, we received an aggregate delivery of 360,913, 1,211,387, and 1,386,562 shares of our common stock. Upon the final settlement of the ASR agreement in February 2022, May 2022, and September 2022, we received an additional 141,766, 349,762, and 217,024 shares as determined by the volume weighted average share price of our common stock of $198.93, $208.18, and $187.08 during the term of the ASR agreement, respectively. The aggregate purchase price was recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity in our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These repurchases of 3,667,414 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in a reduction of outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS").

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 6,217,296 shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $1,196.3 million as part of the Repurchase Program, inclusive of the ASR, at a weighted average price of $192.42 per share. We utilized cash from operations and borrowings from our Credit Facility to fund these repurchases. As of September 30, 2022, we had $407.5 million available to repurchase shares through our Repurchase Program, inclusive of the $1,000.0 million authorization approved by our Board on February 16, 2022.

In September 2022, we entered into an additional ASR agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million. Upon payment of the aggregate purchase price on October 3, 2022, we received an initial delivery of 469,126 shares of our common stock at a price of $170.53 per share, representing approximately $80.0 million of the aggregate purchase price. Upon the final settlement of the ASR agreement in the fourth quarter of 2022, we may be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock or, under certain limited circumstances, be required to deliver shares to the counterparty.

Treasury Stock

As of September 30, 2022, our treasury stock consisted of 387,161,020 shares of common stock, carried at cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we transferred 1,407,675 shares of common stock from the treasury shares at a weighted average treasury stock price of $14.07 per share.

Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Verisk 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 vested and nonvested stock options, nonvested restricted stock awards, nonvested restricted stock units, nonvested performance awards consisting of performance share units ("PSU"), and nonvested deferred stock units, had been issued.

The following is a presentation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

These accumulated other comprehensive loss components, before tax, are included under "Cost of revenues" and "Selling, general and administrative" in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These components are also included in the computation of net periodic (benefit) cost (see Note 13. Pension and Postretirement Benefits for additional details).

12. Equity Compensation Plans:

All of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, deferred stock units, and PSUs are covered under our 2021 Incentive Plan, our 2013 Incentive Plan, or our 2009 Incentive Plan. Awards under our 2021 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, (vi) other share-based awards, and (vii) cash. Employees, non-employee directors, and consultants are eligible for awards under our 2021 Incentive Plan. We transferred common stock under these plans from our treasury shares. As of September 30, 2022, there were 13,897,497 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our 2021 Incentive Plan. Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $111.6 million and $44.9 million, respectively.

We grant equity awards to our key employees. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the adjusted closing price of our common stock on the grant date, with a ten-year contractual term. The fair value of the restricted stock is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The restricted stock is not assignable or transferable until it becomes vested. PSUs vest at the end of a three-year performance period, subject to the recipient’s continued service. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock and the ultimate realization is based on our achievement of certain market performance criteria and may range from 0% to 200% of the recipient’s target levels of 100% established on the grant date. The fair value of PSUs is determined on the grant date using the Monte Carlo Simulation model. We recognize the expense of the equity awards ratably over the vesting period, which could be up to four years.

In January 2022, we granted 608,895 nonqualified stock options, 130,555 shares of restricted stock, and 74,887 PSUs to key employees. The nonqualified stock options and restricted stock have a graded service vesting period of four years. The PSUs granted consisted of 49,533 PSUs that are based on the achievement of relative total shareholder return as compared to the companies that comprise the S&P 500 index ("TSR-based PSUs") and 25,354 PSUs that are tied to the achievement of certain financial performance conditions, namely incremental return on invested capital (“ROIC-based PSUs”). Each of the TSR-based PSUs and ROIC-based PSUs have a three-year performance period, subject to the recipients' continued service. The grant date fair value of the ROIC-based PSUs is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The related performance condition is driven by the incremental return on invested capital based on net operating profit. The ultimate realization of the PSUs may range from 0% to 200% of the recipient’s target levels established on the grant date.

A summary of the status of the stock options, restricted stock, and PSUs awarded under our 2021, 2013, and 2009 Incentive Plans as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 and changes during the interim period are presented below:

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	*2022*			*2021*
Option pricing model	Black-Scholes			Black-Scholes
Expected volatility		25.33	%		23.66	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.55	%		0.39	%
Expected term in years		4.2			4.3
Dividend yield		0.60	%		0.63	%
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	42.25		$	35.14

The expected term for the stock options granted was estimated based on studies of historical experience and projected exercise behavior. However, for certain awards 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 is calculated using historical daily closing prices over the most recent period that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock option awards. The expected dividend yield was based on our 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 adjusted closing price of our common stock as of the reporting date. Excess tax benefits from exercised stock options were recorded as income tax benefit in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This tax benefit is calculated as the excess of the intrinsic value of options exercised and restricted stock lapsed in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. The weighted average remaining contractual terms were 6.10 years and 5.10 years for the outstanding and exercisable stock options, respectively, as of September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was $106.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs, exclusive of the impact of vesting upon retirement eligibility, related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under our 2021 and 2013 Incentive Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.32 years.

Our U.K. Sharesave Plan offers qualifying employees in the United Kingdom the opportunity to own shares of our common stock. Employees who elect to participate are granted stock options, of which the exercise price is equal to the average of the closing price on the five trading days immediately preceding the plan invitation date discounted by 5%, and enter into a savings contract, the proceeds of which are then used to exercise the options upon the three-year maturity of the savings contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we granted 9,370 and 11,254 stock options, respectively, under our U.K. Sharesave Plan. As of September 30, 2022, there were 454,145 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our U.K. Sharesave Plan.

Our ESPP offers eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount of its fair market value at the time of purchase. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we issued 23,643 and 27,621 shares of common stock at a weighted discounted price of $176.68 and $173.61 for the ESPP, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, there were 1,202,649 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our ESPP.

13. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:

We maintain a frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees through membership in our Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the "Pension Plan"), a multiple-employer trust. We also apply a cash balance formula to determine future benefits. Under the cash balance formula, each participant has an account, which is credited annually based on the interest earned on the previous year-end cash balance. We also have a frozen non-qualified supplemental cash balance plan ("SERP") for certain employees. The SERP is funded from our general assets. During the first quarter of 2022, we changed the investment guidelines on our Pension Plan assets to target an investment allocation of 45% to equity securities and 55% to debt securities from our previous target allocation of 50% to equity securities and 50% to debt securities as of December 31, 2021. We also provide certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to certain qualifying active and retired employees. Our 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.

The components of net periodic (benefit) cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are summarized below:

	*Pension Plan and SERP*						*Postretirement Plan*
	*For the Three Months Ended September 30,*

14. 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 reports 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. Our Chief Executive Officer is identified as the CODM as defined by ASC 280-10. Our operating segments, which are also our reportable segments, have historically been the following: Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services. On March 11, 2022, we sold our environmental health and safety business, which represented the “specialized markets” in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment. On April 8, 2022, the sale of our Financial Services segment was also completed. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion. For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to show only the historical results of these dispositions in their respective previous operating segments

Each of the reportable segments, Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services, has a portion of its revenue from more than one of the three revenue types described within our revenue recognition policy. Below is the overview of the solutions offered within each reportable segment.

Table of Contents

Insurance: We are the leading provider of statistical, actuarial, and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. Our 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. We use 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, which are accessed via a hosted platform. We also develop solutions that our customers use to analyze key processes in managing risk. Our combination of algorithms and analytic methods incorporate our proprietary data to generate solutions. We also help businesses and governments better anticipate and manage climate and weather-related risks. In most cases, our customers integrate the solutions into their models, formulas, or underwriting criteria in order to predict potential loss events, ranging from hurricanes to earthquakes. We develop catastrophe and extreme event models and offer solutions covering natural and man-made risks, including acts of terrorism. We further develop solutions that allow customers to quantify costs after loss events occur. Our multitier, multispectral terrestrial imagery and data acquisition, processing, analytics, and distribution system using remote sensing and machine learning technologies helps gather, store, process, and deliver geographic and spatially referenced information that supports uses in many markets. Additionally, we offer fraud-detection solutions including review of data on claim histories, analysis of claims to find emerging patterns of fraud, and identification of suspicious claims in the insurance sector. Our underwriting & rating, insurance anti-fraud claims, catastrophe modeling, loss quantification, and weather risk solutions are included in this segment.

Energy and Specialized Markets: We are a leading provider of data analytics via hosted platform for the global energy, chemicals, and metals and mining industries. Our research and consulting solutions focus on exploration strategies and screening, asset development and acquisition, commodity markets, and corporate analysis in the areas of business environment, business improvement, business strategies, commercial advisory, and transaction support. We gather and manage proprietary information, insight, and analysis on oil and gas fields, mines, refineries, and other assets across the interconnected global energy sectors to advise customers in making asset investment and portfolio allocation decisions. Our analytical tools measure and observe environmental properties and translate those measurements into actionable information based on customer needs. In addition, we provide market and cost intelligence to energy companies to optimize financial results. In the first quarter of 2022, the sale of our environmental health and safety business was completed. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion.

Financial Services: On April 8, 2022, the sale of this segment was completed. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion. We maintained a bank account consortia to provide competitive benchmarking, decisioning algorithms, business intelligence, and customized analytic services that help financial institutions, payment networks and processors, alternative lenders, regulators, and merchants make better strategy, marketing, and risk decisions. Customers apply our solutions in the areas of tailored data management and media effectiveness that include business intelligence platforms, profile views, mobile data solutions, enterprise database services, and fraud risk scoring algorithms for marketing, fraud, and risk mitigation. In addition, our bankruptcy management solutions assist creditors, debt servicing businesses, and credit services to enhance regulatory compliance by eliminating stay violation and portfolio valuation risk.

The three aforementioned operating segments represent the segments for which discrete financial information is available and upon which operating results are regularly evaluated by our CODM in order to assess performance and allocate resources. We use EBITDA as the profitability measure for making decisions regarding ongoing operations. EBITDA is net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and 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. We do not allocate interest expense and provision for income taxes since these items are not considered in evaluating the segment’s overall operating performance. In addition, our CODM does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on assets. See Note 3. Revenues for information on disaggregated revenues by type of service and by country.

15. Related Parties:

We consider our stockholders that own more than 5.0% of the outstanding stock within the class to be related parties as defined within ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no material transactions with related parties owning more than 5.0% of the entire class of stock.

16. Commitments and Contingencies:

We are 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, we are unable, at the present time, to determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to ongoing matters or the impact these matters may have on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Although we believe we have strong defenses and have appealed adverse rulings to us, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

ERISA Litigation

On September 24, 2020, former employees Jillyn Peterson, Gabe Hare, Robert Heynen and Adam Krajewski ("Plaintiffs"), filed suit in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey (No. 2:20-cv-13223-CCC-MF) against Defendants Insurance Services Office Inc. ("ISO"), the Plan Administration Committee of Insurance Services Office Inc. and its members ("Committee Defendants"), and the Trust Investment Committee of Insurance Services Office Inc. and its members. The class action complaint alleges violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended ("ERISA"). The class is defined as all persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of the ISO 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("Plan"), at any time between September 24, 2014 through the date of judgment. The complaint alleges that all defendants are fiduciaries with respect to the Plan. Plaintiffs challenge the amount of fees paid by Plan participants to maintain the investment funds in the plan portfolio and the amount of recordkeeper fees paid by participants. Plaintiffs allege that by permitting the payment of excessive fees, the Committee Defendants breached their ERISA duties of prudence and loyalty. Plaintiffs further allege that ISO breached its ERISA duty by failing to monitor the Committee Defendants who they allege committed known breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint does not specify damages but alleges the fiduciary breaches cost Plan participants millions of dollars. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the complaint on January 12, 2021, which the Court partially denied on April 13, 2021. The parties have completed discovery. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.

Financial Services Government Inquiry

We continue to cooperate with a civil inquiry by the Department of Justice related to government contracts within our former Financial Services segment, which was sold to TransUnion in April 2022. In addition, in March 2022, we were informed that the SEC is conducting an inquiry related to certain of the same government contracts of our former Financial Services segment. These inquiries are ongoing, we are producing documents, and we cannot anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of the inquiry, financial or otherwise. Under the stock purchase agreement, we entered into with TransUnion pursuant to which TransUnion acquired our former Financial Services segment, we agreed to indemnify TransUnion for certain losses with respect to the DOJ inquiry.

Data Privacy Litigation

On December 10, 2020, we were served with a putative class action lawsuit brought by Erica Jackson in the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania against Lead Intelligence, Inc. d/b/a Jornaya ("we" or "us"), Case No. 2020 CV 03695. The class complaint alleges that we violated Pennsylvania’s Wiretap Act ("PWA"), 18 Pa. Const. Stat. § 5701 et seq. by "wiretapping" and "intercepting" the plaintiff’s communications on the website colleges.educationgrant.com. The plaintiff alleges a class of all persons whose electronic communications were intercepted through the use of our wiretapping on the website. The complaint claims damages pursuant to the PWA for actual damages, but not less than liquidated damages computed at the rate of $100 a day for each day of violation, or $1,000, whichever is higher, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney's fees and other litigation costs. On February 16, 2021, we filed preliminary objections to the plaintiff’s complaint, the plaintiff opposed, and the Court ultimately denied our preliminary objections. We subsequently filed a petition to compel arbitration and a motion to stay this action pending the completion of the parties’ arbitration proceedings. On September 30, 2021, the court denied our motions and directed the parties to proceed with discovery. On October 8, 2021, we filed a Notice of Appeal to seek review of the lower court’s decision with the Pennsylvania appellate court system. The appeal has been fully briefed and will be considered on the papers. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.

On December 15, 2021, Plaintiff Jillian Cantinieri brought a putative class action against Verisk Analytics, Insurance Services Office and ISO Claims Services, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, titled Cantinieri v. Verisk Analytics Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:21-cv-6911. The Complaint alleges that we failed to safeguard the personally identifiable information (PII) of Plaintiff and the members of the proposed classes from a purported breach of our databases by unauthorized entities. Plaintiff and class members allege actual and imminent injuries, including theft of their PII, fraudulent activity on their financial accounts, lowered credit scores, and costs associated with detection and prevention of identity theft and fraud. They seek to recover compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, disgorgement of earnings and profits, and attorney’s fees and costs. We filed our motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims on April 22, 2022. As of June 15, 2022, the motion to dismiss was fully briefed but has neither been heard nor decided. Discovery is ongoing. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.

On June 27, 2022, Plaintiff Loretta Williams brought a putative class action against Lead Intelligence, Inc. d/b/a Jornaya (“we,” “our,” or “us”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, titled Williams v. DDR Media, LLC and Lead Intelligence, Inc. d/b/a Jornaya, Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-03789. The Complaint alleges that the Defendants violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act, Cal. Penal Code 631 (“CIPA”) and invaded Plaintiff’s and class members’ privacy rights when Defendants purportedly recorded visitors’ visits to the scrappyrent2 own.com website without prior express consent. It is further alleged that this conduct constitutes a violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. Prof. Code Section 17200 et seq. and the California Constitution. The Complaint seeks class certification, injunctive relief, statutory damages in the amount of $5,000 for each violation, attorneys fees and other litigation costs. The deadline to file our responsive pleading is November 21, 2022. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.

17. Subsequent Events:

On October 26, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the action to make our Energy business available for immediate sale. On October 28, 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell our Energy business to Veritas Capital, a leading technology and government investment firm, for a potential aggregate consideration of $3,300 million, including cash consideration of $3,100 million to be paid at closing and up to $200 million of additional contingent cash consideration based on Veritas Capital’s future return on its investment. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023 and subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and working capital adjustments. We do not expect to have any continuing involvement in the Energy business subsequent to closing.

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 ("2021 10-K") dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2022. 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 2021 10-K and those listed under Item 1A in Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We are a leading data analytics provider serving customers in insurance and energy. Using advanced technologies to collect and analyze billions of records, we draw on unique data assets and deep domain expertise to provide innovations that may be integrated into customer workflows. We offer predictive analytics and decision support solutions to customers in rating, underwriting, claims, catastrophe and weather risk, global risk analytics, natural resources intelligence, economic forecasting, and many other fields. In the United States ("U.S.") and around the world, we help customers protect people, property, and financial assets.

Our customers use our solutions to make better decisions about risk and opportunities with greater efficiency and discipline. We refer to these products and services as "solutions" due to the integration among our services and the flexibility that enables our customers to purchase components or the comprehensive package. These solutions take various forms, including data, statistical models, or tailored analytics, all designed to allow our customers 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 three segments: Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services. On March 11, 2022, we sold our environmental health and safety business, which represented the "specialized markets" in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment. On April 8, 2022, the sale of our Financial Services segment was also completed. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion. For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to show only the historical results of these dispositions in their respective previous operating segments. Our Insurance segment provides underwriting and rating, and claims insurance data for the P&C insurance industry, primarily in the U.S. This segment's revenues represented approximately 80% and 73% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Our Energy and Specialized Markets segment provides research and consulting data analytics for the global energy, chemicals, and metals and mining industries. In the first quarter, we sold our environmental health and safety business. Our Energy and Specialized Markets segment's revenues represented approximately 19% and 22% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Our Financial Services segment provided competitive benchmarking, decisioning algorithms, business intelligence, and customized analytic services to financial institutions, payment networks and processors, alternative lenders, regulators, and merchants. Our Financial Services segment's revenues represented approximately 1% and 5% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. On April 8, 2022, we sold our Financial Services segment to TransUnion.

Executive Summary

Key Performance Metrics

We believe our business's ability to grow recurring revenue and generate positive cash flow is the key indicator of the successful execution of our business strategy. We use year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth as metrics to measure our performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures (See footnote 2 within the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations). The nearest equivalent respective GAAP financial measures are net income and net income margin.

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 growth. We use EBITDA growth as a measure of our ability to balance the size of revenue growth with cost management and investing for future growth. EBITDA growth allows for greater transparency regarding our operating performance and facilitate period-to-period comparison.

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. We calculate EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by revenues.

Revenues

We earn revenues through agreements for hosted subscriptions, advisory/consulting services, and for transactional solutions, recurring and non-recurring. 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. In general, we experience minimal revenue seasonality within the business.

Approximately 81% of the revenues in our Insurance segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were derived from hosted subscriptions through agreements (generally one to five years) for our solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the U.S. Approximately 82% and 83% of the revenues in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were derived from hosted subscriptions with long-term agreements for our solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the top 10 global energy providers. Approximately 85% and 84% of the revenues in our Financial Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were derived from subscriptions with long-term agreements for our solutions. Our customers in this segment included financial institutions, payment networks and processors, alternative lenders, regulators, merchants, and the top 30 credit card issuers in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

We also provide advisory/consulting services, which help our customers get more value out of our analytics and their subscriptions. In addition, certain of our solutions are paid for by our customers on a transactional basis, recurring and non-recurring. For example, we have solutions that allow our customers to access property-specific rating and underwriting information to price a policy on a commercial building, or compare a P&C insurance or a workers' compensation claim with information in our databases, or use our repair cost estimation solutions on a case-by-case basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 19% of our consolidated revenues were derived from providing transactional and advisory/consulting solutions.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Personnel expenses are the major component of both our cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses, which represented approximately 58% of our total operating expenses (excluding the net gain on the sale of our environmental health and safety business and our Financial Services segment) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, include salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, equity compensation costs, sales commissions, employment taxes, recruiting costs, and outsourced temporary agency costs.

We assign 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, salespeople, 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 and new businesses, which may 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, disposition 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 Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs. A portion of the other costs such as facilities, insurance, and communications are 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.

Cash dividends declared per share is calculated by the aggregate cash dividends declared in a fiscal quarter divided by the shares issued and outstanding. See Note 11. of our consolidated financial statements included in this interim report on Form 10-Q.

EBITDA is a financial measure that 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. See Note 14. of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

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 operating income, net income, or cash flows from operating activities reported under GAAP. Management uses EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are:

•

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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SGA") were $125.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $115.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $10.8 million or 9.4%.

Other Operating Loss, net

Other operating loss, net was $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The loss was incurred as part of true up of the closing adjustments related to the dispositions within the former Energy and Specialized Markets and the Verisk Financial Services segments.

Investment Income (Loss)

Investment income (loss) was a gain of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to impact of foreign currencies.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $4.6 million or 15.4%. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility, and the addition of a Term Loan Facility during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by the maturity of our 4.125% senior notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $55.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $54.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.5 million or 2.7%.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the impact of reduced stock option exercises resulting in lower tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period. The difference between statutory tax rates and our effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits attributable to equity compensation, offset by additional state and local taxes.

Net Income Margin

The net income margin was 25.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 27.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net income margin was primarily due to the dispositions within the former Energy and Specialized Markets and Verisk Financial Services segments, including the loss incurred as part of the true up of the closing adjustments.

EBITDA Margin ^[1]

The EBITDA margin for our consolidated results was 49.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 49.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the deferred tax impact of the tax rate increase in the United Kingdom that was enacted and recorded in the prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was also lower than the prior period due to a tax rate benefit in connection with the sale of our environmental health and safety business for which a benefit was recognized for the difference between book and tax basis of our investment. The difference between statutory tax rates and our effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits attributable to equity compensation, offset by additional state and local taxes.

Net Income Margin

The net income margin was 39.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 23.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The remaining decrease in Energy and Specialized Markets revenue of $3.4 million or 0.9% was primarily due to increases in our subscription and consulting revenue, mitigated by the suspension of all commercial operations in Russia which negatively impacted revenue by approximately $6.8 million.

Our recent acquisition of Roskill Holdings Limited, and disposition of the environmental health and safety business, accounted for a net decrease of $11.5 million.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other operating costs of $1.9 million.

Other Operating (Loss) Income

Other operating loss was $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $280.6 million and $285.3 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 Credit Facility, we expect 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 (deferred revenues). 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 causing a use of cash as a company grows. Unlike these 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.

We have also historically used a portion of our cash for repurchases of our common stock from our stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we repurchased $1,196.3 million and $400.0 million, respectively, of our common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we also paid dividends of $147.2 million and $141.0 million, respectively.

Financing and Financing Capacity

We had total debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, unamortized discounts and premium, and debt issuance costs of $3,415.0 million and $3,310.0 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and we were in compliance with our financial and other debt covenants.

We have a Credit Facility with a borrowing capacity of $1,000.0 million with Bank of America N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., First Commercial Bank, Ltd., Los Angeles Branch, TD Bank, N.A., and the Northern Trust Company. The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and the Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and other debt covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the available capacity under the Credit Facility was $55.2 million and $384.9 million, net of the letters of credit of $4.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively. We had $940.0 million and $610.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have made repayments of $90.0 million and secured an additional $275.0 million in additional capacity on our Credit Facility. As a result of this activity, we now have the ability to draw up to $420.2 million from our Credit Facility.

On September 9, 2022, we extended our $125.0 million Bilateral Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with Bank of America, N.A for 12 months with an agreed maturity date of September 9, 2023. The Term Loan carries an interest rate of 135 basis points plus the one month BSBY. This loan may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, and the Repurchase Program.

The new extended $125 million Term Loan and $275 million Credit Facility are now subject to the replacement of LIBOR. Interest on the Term Loan is based on BSBY and we have the choice of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the BSBY as part of the additional Credit Facility agreement. As our only current contract that is subject to the LIBOR rate is the existing Credit Facility, the impact will be dependent on what the outstanding borrowing amount is on the Credit Facility and the relevant interest rate that will be contractually applicable. Should we amend or extend our existing Credit Facility to reflect SOFR or BSBY, based on recent borrowings and applicable SOFR, we do not anticipate such an amendment to have a material impact on the business.

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 22, 2022.

Critical Accounting 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 U.S. 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 acquisition purchase price allocations, revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and allowance for doubtful accounts. 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 22, 2022. Since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates other than the items noted below.
