The earnings release is available on the company’s Investor Relations website at investor.verisk.com.

Lee Shavel, President and CEO, Verisk:

Our operational focus over the past three years has delivered value for our clients and consistent financial results for our investors.

And now with our acquisition of SuranceBay and pending acquisition of AccuLynx, we will leverage our strengths to extend and expand the capabilities of these successful businesses to enhance value for the industry and Verisk."

Elizabeth Mann, CFO, Verisk:

We are investing our capital in core operations and in acquisitions of strong and strategic businesses where we can create value with attractive returns consistent with our capital discipline, while also returning capital to shareholders.

Financial Highlights
Summary of Results (GAAP and Non-GAAP) from Continuing Operations
(in millions, except per share amounts)
Note: Adjusted EBITDA, diluted adjusted EPS, and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures.
 

Revenue
($ in millions)
Note: OCC revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.
*Beginning with the first quarter of 2025, an immaterial component of our Insurance segment was transferred from Claims to Underwriting in calculating the OCC change percentage. The transfer has no impact on the OCC growth rates for our Insurance segment.

• Underwriting revenues increased 8.3% in the quarter and 7.7% on an OCC basis, primarily due to our forms, rules and loss cost services and extreme event solutions. Specialty business and life solutions also contributed to the growth. On December 2, 2024, we sold Atmospheric and Environmental Research ("AER"), which was a business within Underwriting. AER is included in our revenue from disposition.
• Claims revenues grew 6.6% in the quarter and 8.3% on an OCC basis, primarily due to growth in our property estimating solutions and anti-fraud solutions.

Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
($ in millions)
Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Margin is calculated as a percentage of revenues. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

• Net income was $253 million, a decrease of 17.7% in the quarter. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of net gains in the prior year period related to sales of our healthcare and specialized market businesses and the early extinguishment of debt.

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.7% on an OCC basis, primarily due to operating leverage on the solid revenue growth and cost discipline.

Diluted Earnings Per Share
Note: Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

• The decrease in diluted EPS of 15.8% was primarily the result of net gains in the prior year period related to sales of our healthcare and specialized market businesses and the early extinguishment of debt.
• Diluted adjusted EPS increased 8.0%, reflecting strong operational performance and a lower average share count, partially offset by higher interest expense and depreciation expense.

Cash Flow and Capital Return
($ in millions)
Note: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

• Net cash provided by operating activities grew 15.5% in the quarter, while free cash flow increased 22.6%.
• Free cash flow growth was driven by an increase in operating profit and partially offset by the timing of certain cash payments throughout the quarter.
  

• On June 30, 2025, we paid a cash dividend of 45 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of June 13, 2025.
• On July 23, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 45 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding. The dividend is payable on September 30, 2025, to holders of record as of September 15, 2025.
• During the second quarter, we completed a $100 million Accelerated Share Repurchase program, resulting in the repurchase of 0.3 million shares, at an average price, less a discount, of $309.58. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.3 billion remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Full Year 2025 Outlook

Subsequent Events

On July 17, 2025, we completed the acquisition of SuranceBay, a leading provider of producer licensing, onboarding, appointment and compliance solutions for the life and annuity industry, for $162.5 million in cash. This acquisition underscores our commitment to streamlining and automating the process of buying and selling insurance, and to supporting a robust life and annuity ecosystem with solutions that enhance workflows among carriers, general agencies, insurance agents and consumers. SuranceBay will become part of life solutions within our underwriting category in our insurance segment.

On July 29, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AccuLynx for $2.35 billion in cash to augment our network capabilities across the insurance claims and restoration ecosystem. AccuLynx is the leading SaaS platform providing end-to-end business management workflow for residential property contractors with expertise in roofing. Upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including regulatory approval, AccuLynx will become part of property estimating solutions within our claims category in our insurance segment.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements, including those related to our financial guidance. These statements relate to future events or to future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. This includes, but is not limited to, our expectation and ability to pay a cash dividend on our common stock in the future, subject to the determination by our Board of Directors and based on an evaluation of our earnings, financial condition and requirements, business conditions, capital allocation determinations, and other factors, risks, and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Other factors that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements can be found in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement in this release reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy, and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information regarding our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our management uses these measures for reviewing our financial results, for budgeting and planning purposes, and for evaluating the performance of senior management.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Expenses: EBITDA represents GAAP net income adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets; (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) interest expense, net; and (iv) provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related adjustments (earn-outs), gain/loss from dispositions (which includes businesses held for sale), and nonrecurring gain/loss. Adjusted EBITDA expenses represent adjusted EBITDA net of revenues. We believe these measures are useful and meaningful because they help us allocate resources, make business decisions, allow for greater transparency regarding our operating performance, and facilitate period-to-period comparison.

Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Adjusted EPS: Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income adjusted for (i) amortization of intangible assets, net of tax; (ii) acquisition-related adjustments (earn-outs), net of tax; (iii) gain/loss from dispositions (which includes businesses held for sale), net of tax; and (iv) nonrecurring gain/loss, net of tax. Diluted adjusted EPS represents adjusted net income divided by weighted-average diluted shares. We believe these measures are useful and meaningful because they allow evaluation of the after-tax profitability of our results excluding the after-tax effect of acquisition-related costs and nonrecurring items.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP minus payments for capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is an important measure of the recurring cash generated by our operations that may be available to repay debt obligations, repurchase our stock, invest in future growth through new business development activities, or make acquisitions.

Organic: Organic is defined as operating results excluding the effect of recent acquisitions and dispositions (which include businesses held for sale), and nonrecurring gain/loss associated with cost-based and equity-method investments that have occurred over the past year. An acquisition is included as organic at the beginning of the calendar quarter that occurs subsequent to the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date. Once an acquisition is included in its current-period organic base, its comparable prior-year-period operating results are also included to calculate organic growth. A disposition (which includes a business held for sale) is excluded from organic at the beginning of the calendar quarter in which the disposition occurs (or when a business meets the held-for-sale criteria under U.S. GAAP). Once a disposition is excluded from its current-period organic base, its comparable prior-year-period operating results are also excluded to calculate organic growth. We believe the organic presentation enables investors to assess the growth of the business without the impact of recent acquisitions for which there is no prior-year comparison and the impact of recent dispositions, for which results are removed from all prior periods presented to allow for comparability.

Organic Constant Currency (OCC) Growth Rate: Our operating results, such as, but not limited to, revenue and adjusted EBITDA, reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying foreign currencies in which we transact changes in value over time compared with the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, we present certain constant currency financial information to assess how we performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We calculate constant currency by translating comparable prior-year-period results at the currency exchange rates used in the current period. We believe organic constant currency is a useful and meaningful measure to enhance investors’ understanding of the continuing operating performance of our business and to facilitate the comparison of period-to-period performance because it excludes the impact of foreign exchange rate movements, acquisitions, and dispositions.

See page 11 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and a results summary and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA. See page 11 for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA margin, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA expenses, and a reconciliation of diluted adjusted EPS. See page 13 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Diluted Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable expected GAAP results because of the unreasonable effort and high unpredictability of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Diluted Adjusted EPS, including, for example, tax consequences, acquisition-related costs, gain/loss from dispositions and other non-recurring expenses, the effect of which may be significant.
