VERISK ANALYTICS, INC.

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. ~~and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively "we")~~ is a data analytics provider serving customers in insurance, energy and specialized markets, and financial services. 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, commercial banking and finance, and many other fields. Around the world, we help customers protect people, property, and financial assets.

~~We were established to serve as the parent holding company of Insurance Services Office, Inc. (“ISO”) upon the completion of the initial public offering (“IPO”), which occurred on~~ ~~October~~ 9,~~2009.~~ ~~ISO was formed in~~ ~~1971~~ as an advisory and rating organization for the property and casualty ("P&C") insurance industry to provide statistical and actuarial services, to develop insurance programs and to assist insurance companies in meeting state regulatory requirements. Over the past decade, we broadened our data assets, entered new markets, placed a greater emphasis on analytics, and pursued strategic acquisitions. We trade under the ticker symbol “VRSK” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

~~Since~~ ~~January 2020,~~ ~~an outbreak of the~~ ~~2019~~ ~~novel coronavirus (“COVID-~~~~19”~~~~) has evolved into a worldwide pandemic. We have modified our operations in line with our business continuity plans due to COVID-~~~~19.~~ While our facilities generally remain open, we are making extensive use of the work-from-home model at this moment. On a daily basis, management is reviewing our operations and there have been to date minimal interruptions in our customer facing operations. Given the digital nature of our business and the move toward cloud enablement, we expect to remain operationally stable and fully available to our customers. We are in compliance with all financial covenants and have ~~not~~ observed a loss of any significant customers, a significant deterioration in the collectability of receivables, a significant reduction in our liquidity nor a significant decline in subscription renewal rates.

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”~~GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill, the realization of deferred tax assets 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 March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~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 months ended March 31, ~~2021~~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 months ended March 31, ~~2021~~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, ~~2020~~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.

~~Income Tax~~Business Combinations (Topic ~~740~~805) In ~~December 2019,~~October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2019~~2021-~~12,~~08, ~~"Simplifying the Accounting~~"Accounting for ~~Income Taxes"~~Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU No. ~~2019~~2021-~~12"~~08")	~~The amendments~~This amendment requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in this guidance reflect the FASB’s effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. Changes include treatment of Hybrid tax regimes, tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is ~~not~~ a business combination ~~separate~~in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. An acquirer should assess how the acquiree applied Topic 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 Topic 606, the acquirer should consider the terms of ~~legal entities~~ ~~not~~ ~~subject~~the acquired contracts, such as timing of payment, identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and allocate the total transaction price to tax, intraperiod tax allocation, ownership changes in investments, interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting, income statement presentationeach identified performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis as of ~~tax benefits of tax-deductible dividends, and impairment of investment in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for under~~ the ~~equity method.~~date the acquiree entered into the contracts to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date.

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 March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, we had no0 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 ~~(an~~(or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~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 ~~$725.1~~$708.7 million and ~~$468.2~~$504.8 million, respectively. ~~The $256.9 million increase in contract liabilities from~~ ~~December 31, 2020~~ to ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~was primarily due to billings of $433.3 million that were paid in advance, partially offset by $176.4 million of revenue recognized in the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~. 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 March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021.

~~Table~~

The following is a summary of ~~Contents~~

the change in contract liabilities from December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022:

Contract Liabilities at December 31, 2021	$	504.8
Revenue		(775.5	)
Billings		979.4
Contract Liabilities at March 31, 2022	$	708.7

Our most significant remaining performance ~~obligation~~sobligations relate to providing customers with the right to use and update the online content over the remaining contract term. Revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations, included within "Deferred revenues" and "Other noncurrent liabilities", that are unsatisfied were $725.1 million and $468.2 million as of ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2020~~~~, respectively. The~~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,~~modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance obligations. These performance obligations, which are expected to be satisfied within one year, comprised approximately ~~99%~~98% and 97% of thethe balance at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021., respectively.

We ~~recognize~~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 March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, we had deferred commissions of ~~$79.9~~$91.3 million and ~~$73.8~~$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”~~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. ~~The~~Our investments in registered investment companies, which are Level 1 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, were ~~$4.3~~$4.6 million and ~~$4.1~~$5.0 million as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, respectively. ~~The~~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. ~~For the~~

~~three~~8 ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~~~, we determined the provision for credit losses related to accounts receivable and investments in registered investment companies was immaterial.~~

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 March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, respectively:

~~2021~~2022 Acquisitions ~~and Purchase of Controlling Interest~~

~~For the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021,~~ ~~we had acquisitions and purchase of controlling interest totaling $13.7 million.~~ On March 2,1, 2022, ~~2021,~~we acquired ~~a 51% ownership in Whitespace Software Limited~~100 percent of the stock of Opta Information Intelligence Corp.

The preliminary allocations of the purchase price for the ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 acquisitions ~~and purchase of controlling interest~~ 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 ~~include~~includes the acquired assembled work force, 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 ~~$20.9~~$270.7 million in goodwill associated with our acquisitions, ~~and purchase of controlling interest, $20.0~~$146.7 million is not deductible for tax purposes.The preliminary amounts assigned to intangible assets by type for these acquisitions ~~and purchase of controlling interest~~ were based upon our valuation model and historical experiences with entities with similar business characteristics.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we incurred transaction costs of $1.4 million and $0.5 million, ~~related to the~~ ~~2021~~ ~~acquisitions and purchase of controlling interest. For the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020,~~ ~~we incurred 0 transaction costs.~~respectively. The transaction costs were included within "Selling, general and administrative" expenses in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The ~~2021~~2022 acquisitions ~~and purchase of controlling interest~~ were immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~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 March 31, ~~2021~~ 2022and December 31, 2021~~31,~~~~2020,~~, the current portion of the escrows amounted to ~~$19.1~~$9.6 million and ~~$1.7~~$10.6 million, respectively, and the noncurrent portion of the escrows amounted to ~~$1.3~~$0.0 million and ~~$18.5~~$4.7 million, respectively. The current and noncurrent portions of the escrows have been included in ~~“Other~~"Other current ~~assets”~~assets" and ~~“Other~~"Other noncurrent ~~assets”~~assets" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The acquisitions of ~~Emergence Network Intelligence Limited, Validus, Arium Limited, and~~ 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 EBITDA margin earn-out targets for exceptional performance. ~~In addition, as a result of our acquisition of Franco Signor LLC ("Franco Signor") on~~ ~~September 9, 2020,~~ we assumed a preexisting acquisition-related contingent payment arrangement through Franco Signor's asset acquisition of Sharpline, in which Sharpline could receive an additional payment by achieving predetermined revenue earn-out targets for exceptional performance. We believe that the liabilities recorded as of March 31, ~~2021~~ 2022and December 31, 2021~~31,~~~~2020~~ reflect the best estimate of acquisition-related contingent payments. The associated current portion of contingent payments were ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million and ~~$0.6~~$0.5 million as of March 31, ~~2021~~ 2022and December 31, ~~2020,~~ 2021, respectively. The associated noncurrent portion of contingent payments were ~~$0.0~~$21.8 million and ~~$0.2~~$21.7 million as of March 31, ~~2021~~ 2022and December 31, ~~2020,~~ 2021, respectively.

7. ~~Dispositions:~~Disposition and Business Held for Sale:

Disposition

On ~~February 1, 2020,~~March 11, 2022, the sale of our environmental health and safety business, which made up our Supply Chain reporting unit, within the aerial imagery sourcing group was completed. We contributed assets related to the disposed business, including cash of $63.8 million, in exchange for a noncontrolling 35.0% ownership interest in a nonpublic company, Vexcel. We determined the fair value of the securities associated with the noncontrolling ownership interest in Vexcel with the assistance of valuations performed by ~~third~~ ~~party specialists, including the discounted cash flow analysis and estimates made by management. The securities were concluded~~ ~~not~~ ~~to have a readily determinable fair value and did~~ ~~not~~ qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value. The contributed assets approximated the fair value of the equity securities related to the noncontrolling ownership interest; therefore, there was no ~~gain or loss recorded in conjunction with this disposition for the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020.~~

On ~~February 14, 2020,~~ ~~the sale of the compliance background screening business~~Energy & Specialized Markets segment was completed for ~~net cash~~ proceeds of ~~$23.1 million.~~$575.0 million, net of cash and excluding contingent consideration. The sale contributes to our efforts to identify the most value creating opportunities available to the company and our shareholders to ensure that we generate strong returns on our invested capital. A gain of ~~$15.9~~$450.8 million was included in "Other operating ~~income"~~income, net" within our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2022.

OnThe major classes of assets and liabilities disposed of, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March ~~1, 2020,~~11, 2022, were as follows:

Business Held for Sale

In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Verisk Financial Services, our Financial Services Segment, to TransUnion, a global information and insights company for net cash proceeds of $498.6 million. The sale marks the next step in our ongoing portfolio shaping strategy to sharpen the focus on our core businesses and drive enhanced value creation. The assets and liabilities have been reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022. The transaction closed on April 8, 2022. In connection with the held for sale classification, we recognized an $73.7 million impairment on the remeasurement of the ~~data warehouse business~~disposal group held for sale, which is included within ~~the Financial Services segment was completed. We recorded a gain of $3.5 million~~“Other operating income, net” in ~~"Other operating income" within~~ our ~~accompanying~~ condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2022. We had previously recorded an impairment of $134.0 million in fiscal 2021.

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. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Verisk Financial Services generated revenue of $34.8 million.

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. We completed the required annual impairment test as of June 30, 2021 ~~30,~~~~2020,~~and concluded that there was no0 impairment of goodwill. ~~There were~~

As of noDecember 31, 2021, we reassessed the recoverability of the long-lived assets for our Financial Services reporting unit based upon the weaker than expected operating performance as a result of changing market conditions. These conditions constituted a triggering event, which resulted in a $134.0 million impairment to the long-lived assets for our Financial Services reporting unit including $88.2 million to intangible assets and $45.8 million to fixed assets. We based our analysis of the fair value of our long-lived assets on the indication of fair value provided by the offer to purchase such reporting unit. Due to the continued deterioration in the performance of our Financial Services reporting unit and the finalization of the sale price, we again reassessed the recoverability of these long-lived assets during the first ~~triggering events~~quarter of 2022, resulting in an additional $73.7 million impairment. This $73.7 million impairment is included within "Other operating income, net" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~ ~~that would impact the results of the impairment test performed as of~~ ~~June 30, 2020.~~2022.

9. Income Taxes:

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~22.5%~~17.2% compared to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 of ~~20.8%~~22.5%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~higher~~lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~reduced stock option exercises resulting~~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. This benefit was partially offset by the impact of lower tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period. The impact of lower stock benefits was partially offset by non-recurring tax expense recorded in the prior period in connection with our disposition of the aerial imagery sourcing group resulting from differences in the book and tax basis of the assets and entities disposed. 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.

Share Repurchase Program

~~Since~~ ~~May 2010,~~ weWe have authorized repurchases of up t~~o $4,100.0~~to $5,600.0 million of our common stock through our Repurchase Program, inclusive of the ~~$300.0~~$1,000.0 million authorization approved by our Board on February 16, ~~2021.~~2022. Since the introduction of share repurchase as a feature of our capital management strategies in 2010, we have repurchased shares with an aggregate value of ~~$3,621.2~~$4,567.5 million. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had ~~$478.8~~$1,032.5 million available to repurchase shares through our Repurchase Program. We have no obligation to repurchase stock under this program and intend to use this authorization as a means of offsetting dilution from the issuance of shares under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Incentive Plan"), our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Incentive Plan"), our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “"2009 Incentive ~~Plan”~~Plan"), our sharesave plan ~~(“UK~~("U.K. Sharesave ~~Plan”~~Plan"), and our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") while providing flexibility to repurchase additional shares if warranted. This authorization has no expiration date and may be increased, reduced, suspended, or terminated at any time. Shares that are repurchased under our Repurchase Program will be recorded as treasury stock and will be available for future issuance.

In December ~~2020,~~2021, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of ~~$50.0~~$100.0 million with ~~HSBC Bank USA,~~Citibank, N.A. The ASR agreement is accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and forward stock purchase agreement 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, ~~2021,~~2022, we received an aggregate delivery of ~~192,687~~360,913 shares of our common ~~stock at a price of $207.59.~~stock. Upon the final settlement of the ASR agreement in February ~~2021,~~2022, we received an additional ~~70,787~~141,766 shares, respectively, as determined by the volume weighted average share price of our common stock of $198.93 during the term of the ASR agreement. The aggregate purchase price was recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity in our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022. These repurchases of ~~263,474~~502,679 shares for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~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 three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022, we ~~repurchased 560,526~~repurchased 3,052,561 shares of common stock with an aggregate value of ~~$100.0~~$571.3 million as part of the Repurchase Program, inclusive of the ASR, at a weighted average price of ~~$178.40~~$187.17 per s~~hare.~~share. We utilized cash from operations and borrowings from our Credit Facility to fund these repurchases.

Treasury Stock

As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, our ~~treasu~~rytreasury stock consisted of ~~381,536,446~~385,133,882 shares of common stock, carried at cost. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022, we transferred ~~209,592~~270,078 shares of common stock from the treasury shares at a weighted average treasury stock price of ~~$11.11~~$12.83 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”~~("PSU"), and nonvested deferred stock units, had been issued.

12. Equity Compensation Plans:

All of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, deferred stock units, andand PSUs are covered under our 2021 Incentive Plan, our 2013 Incentive Plan, or our 2009 Incentive Plan. Awards under our ~~2013~~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 ~~2013~~2021 Incentive Plan. We transferred common stock under these plans from our treasury shares. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, there were ~~1,937,143~~13,802,358 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our ~~2013~~2021 Incentive Plan. Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$7.6~~$15.8 million and ~~$19.2~~$7.6 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

OnIn January ~~15, 2021,~~2022, we granted ~~706,507~~608,895 nonqualified stock options, ~~134,777~~130,555 shares of restricted stock, and ~~59,144 performance share units~~74,887 PSUs to key employees. The nonqualified stock options and restricted stock have a graded service vesting period of four ~~years,~~ years. The PSUs granted consisted of 49,533 TSR-based PSUs and 25,354 PSUs that are tied to the achievement of certain financial performance ~~share units~~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.

Table of Contents

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 three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021:

	*2021*			*2020*			2022			2021
Option pricing model		Black-Scholes			Black-Scholes		Black-Scholes			Black-Scholes
Expected volatility		23.60	%		18.17	%		25.27	%		23.60	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.37	%		1.59	%		1.43	%		0.37	%
Expected term in years		4.3			4.3			4.2			4.3
Dividend yield		0.63	%		0.71	%		0.60	%		0.63	%
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	36.09		$	25.49		$	42.18		$	36.09

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 ~~6.3~~6.2 years and ~~4.8~~5.0 years for the outstanding and exercisable stock options, respectively, as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022.

For the three ~~months~~ months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022, there was ~~$128.3~~$138.3 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 ~~Plan.~~Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.8~~2.7 years. ~~The total grant date fair value of options vested was $6.2 million and $5.6 million during the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~~~, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~ ~~was~~ ~~$6.8~~m~~illion and $6.1 million, respectively. The total grant date fair value of PSUs vested during the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~ ~~was $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.~~

Our UKU.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 ~~adjusted~~average of the closing price ~~of our common stock~~ on the ~~grant~~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 three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, we granted 0no stock options under our UKU.K. Sharesave Plan. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, there were ~~454,205~~452,085 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our UKU.K. Sharesave ~~Plan.~~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 three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, we issued ~~10,137~~7,734 and ~~9,451~~10,137 shares of common stock at a weighted discounted price of ~~$167.84~~ $204.38 and $$167.84~~132.41~~ for the ESPP, respectively. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, there were ~~1,250,129~~1,218,558 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under our ~~ESPP.~~ESPP.

13. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:

We maintain a ~~frozen~~frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees through membership in our Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the ~~“Pension Plan”~~"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”~~("SERP") for certain employees. The SERP is funded from our general assets. During the first quarter of ~~2021,~~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 ~~from our previous target allocation of 55% to equity securities and 45% to debt securities~~ as of December 31, ~~2020.~~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”~~"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~~(benefit) cost for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021are summarized below:

14. Segment Reporting:

ASC 280-10, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“("ASC 280-~~10”~~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”~~("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our President and Chief Executive Officer is identified as the CODM as defined by ASC 280-10. Our operating segments are the following: Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services. These three operating segments are also our reportable 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 the remote sensing and machine learning technologies ~~help~~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. ~~During the~~ ~~first~~ ~~quarter of~~ ~~2021,~~ due to management restructuring, our CODM reorganized Atmospheric and Environmental Research ("AER"), an immaterial component of the Energy and Specialized Markets segment, to the Insurance segment. Consequently, AER became part of the underwriting and rating category within the Insurance segment. The inclusion of AER within our Insurance segment better aligns with how our CODM makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Our prior year results have been recast to reflect this change. The related impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements was ~~not~~ ~~material for all periods presented.~~

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. In the first quarter of 2022, our financial services business qualified as assets held for sale. We assessed the sale against the guidance in ASC 205-20-55 to determine if we should classify the sale of our Financial Services reporting unit as a discontinued operation. Taking the guidance into account, we ultimately did not classify the sale of the reporting unit as a discontinued operation as we believe its total revenues and assets did not comprise of a large enough portion of our overall revenues and assets to represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.

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.

~~Xactware Solutions, Inc. Patent Litigation~~

On ~~October 8, 2015,~~ we were served with a summons and complaint in an action titled Eagle View Technologies, Inc. and Pictometry International Group, Inc. v. Xactware Solutions, Inc. and Verisk Analytics, Inc. filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Court"). The complaint alleged that our Roof InSight (now known as Geomni Roof), Property InSight product (now known as Geomni Property) and Aerial Sketch product in combination with our Xactimate product infringe ~~seven~~ ~~patents owned by Eagle View and Pictometry namely, Patent Nos.~~ ~~8,078,436~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"436~~ ~~patent"),~~ ~~8,170,840~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"840~~ ~~patent"),~~ ~~8,209,152~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"152~~ ~~patent"),~~ ~~8,542,880~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"880~~ ~~patent"),~~ ~~8,818,770~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"770~~ ~~patent"),~~ ~~8,823,732~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"732~~ ~~patent"), and~~ ~~8,825,454~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"454~~ ~~patent"). On~~ ~~November 30, 2015,~~ ~~plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint adding Patent Nos.~~ ~~9,129,376~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"376~~ ~~patent") and~~ ~~9,135,737~~ ~~(the~~ ~~"737~~ patent") to the lawsuit. The First Amended Complaint sought an entry of judgment by the Court that defendants have and continue to directly infringe and/or indirectly infringe, including by way of inducement, the Patents-in-Suit, permanent injunctive relief, damages, costs and attorney’s fees. On ~~May 19, 2017,~~ ~~the District Court entered a Joint Stipulated Order of Partial Dismissal with Prejudice dismissing all claims or assertions pertaining to the~~ ~~880~~ ~~and~~ ~~732~~ ~~patents, and certain asserted claims of the~~ ~~436,~~~~840,~~~~152,~~~~770,~~~~454,~~~~376~~ ~~and~~ ~~737~~ ~~patents (collectively the “Patents in Suit”). Subsequently, Eagle View dropped the~~ ~~152~~ ~~patent and the~~ ~~737~~ ~~patent and reduced the number of asserted claims from the~~ ~~five~~ ~~remaining Patents in Suit to~~ ~~six~~ ~~asserted claims. On~~ ~~September 25, 2019,~~ ~~following a trial, the jury determined that we had willfully infringed the~~ ~~six~~ asserted claims, and assessed damages in the amount of $125.0 million. After trial, Eagle View moved for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) and a permanent injunction preventing our sales of the Geomni Roof, Geomni Property and Aerial Sketch products in combination with Xactimate. The Court granted the motion for a TRO on ~~September 26, 2019~~ ~~and on~~ ~~October 18, 2019,~~ ~~issued an Order permanently enjoining our sales of the Geomni Roof, Geomni Property and Aerial Sketch products in combination with Xactimate. On~~ ~~March 2, 2020,~~ ~~the Court signed an Order staying execution of the~~ ~~$125.0~~ ~~million judgment pending our appeal, and we subsequently secured a supersedeas bond in the amount of $137.5 million to satisfy the New Jersey court rule requiring a bond in the amount of~~ ~~110%~~ of the monetary judgment. In addition, Eagle View asked the Court to award enhanced damages by trebling the jury's damages award, together with attorneys' fees, costs, and pre- and post-judgment interest. We opposed all of Eagle View's requests and asked the Court for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial. Eagle View opposed our requests. On ~~September 9, 2020,~~ ~~the Court denied our motion seeking judgment as a matter of law and a new trial. We timely filed our Amended Notice of Appeal on~~ ~~October 8, 2020.~~ ~~Eagle View filed a motion to dismiss or deactivate the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction on~~ ~~November 4, 2020~~ ~~which was denied by the Federal Circuit on~~ ~~December 15, 2020.~~ ~~We filed our appellate brief on~~ ~~December 24, 2020.~~ On ~~February 16, 2021,~~ ~~the Court granted Eagle View's motion for enhanced damages and attorneys' fees. The Court trebled the jury's award of~~ ~~$125.0~~ million, awarding enhanced damages for a total of $375.0 million, and also awarded Eagle View pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. The Court's award of Eagle View's attorneys' fees was limited to the period just before the commencement of trial through the trial, and did ~~not~~ ~~include the earlier approximately~~ ~~four~~~~-year period in the case. On~~ ~~March 17, 2021,~~ we filed an unopposed application with the Federal Circuit seeking consolidation of our appeals addressing the trial Court’s findings on infringement, the denial of our motion for judgment as a matter of law and a new trial, and the Court’s Order on enhanced damages. On ~~March 30, 2021,~~ ~~the Court granted our request, and our consolidated appellate brief was filed on~~ ~~April 22, 2021.~~ ~~Following the outcome of the trial in~~ ~~2019,~~ we established a $125.0 million reserve in connection with this litigation, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended ~~December 31, 2019.~~ ~~Since the appeal to the Federal Circuit remains pending, it is~~ ~~not~~ reasonably possible to determine the ultimate resolution of this matter at this time. While the ultimate resolution of this matter remains uncertain at this time, should our appeal be unsuccessful, we could incur additional expenses up to the amount by which the enhanced damages award, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees, exceeds the existing ~~$125.0~~ ~~million reserve. On~~ ~~April 15, 2021,~~ the Court signed an order continuing the stay of execution of the monetary judgment. In light of the Court’s Order enhancing damages, we agreed to post an additional bond in the amount of $305.0 million.

ERISA Litigation

On September 24, 2020, former employees Jillyn Peterson, Gabe Hare, Robert Heynen and Adam Krajewski ~~(“Plaintiffs”~~("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”~~("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, ~~ERISA.~~("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”~~("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 are currently proceeding with discovery. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this ~~matter.~~

On ~~October 23, 2020,~~ ~~Cara Jane Penegar,~~matter as ~~Executrix of~~ the ~~Estate of Johnny Ray Penegar, Jr., filed a putative class action lawsuit~~case is still in ~~the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina,~~ ~~3:20~~~~-cv-~~~~585~~-RJC-DCK, against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively “Liberty Mutual”), as well as Verisk Analytics, Inc. and ISO Claims Partners, Inc. (collectively “we”). The complaint alleges that Liberty Mutual violated the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (“MSPA”) by failing to reimburse Medicare for medical services that should have been covered by its policies, with the result that Medicare bore the cost instead. The suit alleges that we are jointly and severally liable because of our involvement in Medicare reporting and/or other plan management. The complaint pleads a North Carolina class and a nationwide class, each composed of: all Medicare enrollees (within the respective geographic areas) for whom Medicare paid for an item or service where Liberty Mutual was the carrier and/or we were involved in claims administration; where defendants were demonstrated to be responsible for payment of the medical services via a workers’ compensation judgment, settlement, award, or contractual obligation; where defendants provided notice to the government of the fact of the settlement, judgment or award establishing their responsibility on or after ~~October 23, 2017;~~ ~~but where defendants failed to make timely payment. The complaint does~~ ~~not~~ identify the amount of damages sought but seeks double damages under the MSPA on behalf of all class members for all amounts at issue, as well as interest and attorneys’ fees. Defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint were fully briefed on ~~January 28, 2021.~~ ~~At this time, it is~~ ~~not~~ ~~possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.~~ early stages.

Jornaya Litigation

On ~~February 2, 2021~~ we were served with a putative class action lawsuit brought by Peter Dyloco in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Mazda Motor of America, Inc. and Lead Intelligence, Inc. d/b/a/ Jornaya (collectively “we”, "us") and Mouseflow, Inc.~~No.~~~~3:20~~~~-cv-~~~~09099~~-JCS. In this action plaintiff alleges a class of all California residents who visited mazdausa.com and whose electronic communications were intercepted or recorded by Jornaya and/or Mouseflow without their consent.

LCI Litigation¹

On December 30, 2021, Plaintiff William Norman Brooks filed a consumer class action lawsuit against Lundquist Consulting, Inc. (“LCI,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) in California Superior Court, San Matteo County, titled Brooks v. Lundquist Consulting, Inc., Case No.21-CIV-06824. Plaintiff alleges violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act, and California Unfair Competition Law, and Defamation. LCI has not yet been served with the Complaint. Plaintiff claims that LCI inaccurately reported Mr. Brooks as bankrupt, and that this caused emotional harm and harmed his credit standing, credit score and reputation. Plaintiff alleges that LCI’s statements about his (and other class members’) bankruptcies to third parties amounted to defamation. It is also alleged that LCI did not provide Plaintiff and others an opportunity to review and dispute any accuracies in the information sold by LCI about them and did not disclose their consumer credit files when asked. Plaintiff seeks to certify Nationwide Inaccuracy and Failure to Disclose Classes, as well as California Inaccuracy and Failure to Disclose Subclasses. He also seeks to recover actual and punitive damages, restitution of funds suspended and the value of credit privileges revoked or terminated, injunctive relief ordering LCI to rectify the credit reporting errors and change its procedures for attributing bankruptcy information, and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The case was removed to the Northern District of California federal court, San Francisco Division, on March 25, 2022, and LCI’s response to the Complaint will be filed on or before May 2, 2022. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the liability related to this matter.

~~COVID-19~~

Table of Contents

Since January 2020, an outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") has evolved into a worldwide pandemic. We have modified our operations in line with our business continuity plans due to COVID-19. While our facilities generally remain open, we are making extensive use of the work-from-home model at this moment. We continue to review our operations and there have been to date minimal interruptions in our customer facing operations. Given the digital nature of our business and the move toward cloud enablement, we have remained operationally stable and fully available to our customers. We are in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants and have not observed a loss of any significant customers, a significant deterioration in the collectability of receivables, a significant reduction in our liquidity, nor a significant decline in subscription renewal rates.

~~In March 2020, we analyzed our solutions and services to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our revenue streams. We did not identify any material impact stemming from COVID-19 on approximately 85% of our revenues as much of these revenues are subscription in nature and subject to long-term contracts. These revenues grew~~ ~~approximately 5%~~ ~~for~~ ~~the three~~ ~~months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2020.~~

O~~f the remaining 15%, we have id~~entified specific solutions and services, largely transactional in nature, that are being impacted by COVID-19. The primary causal factors are lower auto and travel insurance activity, the inability to enter commercial buildings to perform engineering analyses, decreased capital expenditure in the energy sector, and reduced levels of advertising by financial institutions and marketers. The portion of our revenue that is attributable to these solutions has been negatively impacted by COVID-19, and declined approxim~~ately 6% f~~or the three months ended March 31, 2021. The deepest impacts were in the categories of travel insurance analytics, auto underwriting and claims analytics in the insurance industry, consulting services in the energy industry, and spend informed analytic solutions in financial services. Although we have experienced a decline in revenue attributable to these specific solutions since the onset of the pandemic, we do not anticipate lasting impacts of a material nature to our long-term growth profile. As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to evolve, management continues to closely monitor its impact on our business.

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%~~82% and ~~82%~~81% of the revenues in our Insurance segment for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were derived from hosted subscriptions through agreements (generally one to five years) for our solutions, respectively. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the U.S. Approximately 83% ~~and 84%~~ of the revenues in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were derived from hosted subscriptions with long-term agreements for our ~~solutions, respectively.~~solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the top 10 global energy providers. Approximately ~~86%~~85% and ~~72%~~86% of the revenues in our Financial Services segment for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were derived from subscriptions with long-term agreements for our solutions, respectively. Our customers in this segment include 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 three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, approximately 18% of our consolidated revenues were derived from providing transactional and advisory/consulting ~~solutions, respectively.~~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 ~~60%~~59% and ~~62%~~60% of our total operating expenses (excluding the gain on the sale of our environmental health and safety business and long-lived asset impairment loss associated with our Financial Services segment) for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, respectively, 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, ~~sales people,~~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.

EBITDA is a financial measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. ~~“EBITDA”~~"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. ~~In addition, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes references to EBITDA margin, which is computed as EBITDA divided by revenues.~~

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.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $280.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $262.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to~~ ~~$257.7~~ ~~million for the three months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020~~, an increase of ~~$4.7~~$18.1 million or ~~1.8%~~6.9%. Our recent acquisitions, business held for sale, and ~~dispositions~~disposition accounted for ~~net a decrease~~an increase of ~~$0.5~~$5.2 million in cost of revenues. The remaining cost of revenues increased ~~$5.2~~$12.9 million or ~~2.1%~~5.7% primarily due to increases of ~~information technology expenses of $4.9 million,~~ salaries and employee benefits of ~~$4.0~~$7.8 million, information technology expenses of $5.6 million, travel expenses of $1.0 million, and professional consulting costs of $0.5 million; offset by decreases in data costs of ~~$1.2~~$1.4 million and other operating costs of ~~$1.7~~$0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in travel expenses of $6.4 million and professional consulting costs of $0.2 million. The decrease in travel expenses primarily resulted from travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SGA") were $135.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $119.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to~~ ~~$112.1~~ ~~million for the three months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020~~, an increase of ~~$7.7~~$15.5 million or ~~6.8%~~12.9%. ~~Our acquisition-related costs (earn-outs) accounted for a decrease of $0.2 million.~~ Our recent acquisitions, business held for sale, and ~~dispositions~~disposition accounted for an increase of ~~$0.8~~$10.0 million in SGA primarily related to salaries and employee benefits. The remaining SGA increase of ~~$7.1~~$5.5 million or ~~6.2%~~5.0% was primarily due to increases in ~~salaries~~professional consulting costs of $5.5 million, travel expenses of $0.8 million, and ~~employee benefits of $8.0 million,~~ information technology expenses of ~~$1.3 million, professional consulting costs~~$0.6 million; offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $0.3 million and other operating costs of $1.1 million. ~~These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel expenses of $3.6 million.~~

Depreciation and Amortization of Fixed Assets

Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets was ~~$48.5~~$49.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $48.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to $46.1 million for the three months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020~~, an increase of ~~$2.4~~$1.1 million or ~~5.1%~~2.3%. The increase was primarily driven by $2.3 million of assets placed in service to support data capacity expansion and revenue growth and recent acquisitions of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by our recent dispositions of $0.1 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $44.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to $41.0~~, a decrease of $0.4 million or 0.9%. The decrease was primarily driven by intangible assets that were fully amortized for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2022, ~~an increase of $4.0 million or 9.7%. This was primarily driven~~partially offset by ~~the~~ additional amortization of intangible assets incurred in connection with our recent acquisitions.

Investment (Loss) Income

Investment loss (income) was a loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2022~~, a variance of $19.4 million. This was related~~ compared to ~~the gains associated with the sales of our compliance background screening business and data warehouse business that were recorded in 2020.~~

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was ~~$48.7~~$105.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $48.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to $45.0~~, an increase of $56.4 million or 115.8%. The effective tax rate was 17.2% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2022~~, an increase of $3.7 million or 8.2%. The effective tax rate was~~ compared to 22.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to 20.8% for the three months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020~~. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~higher~~lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~reduced stock option exercises resulting~~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. This benefit was partially offset by the impact of lower tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period. The impact of lower stock benefits was partially offset by non-recurring tax expense recorded in the prior period in connection with our disposition of the aerial imagery sourcing business resulting from differences in the book and tax basis of the assets and entities disposed. 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 65.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to 24.9% for the three months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2020~~.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash and ~~available-f~~cash equivalents classified within current assets held for sale, and available~~or-sale~~-for-sale securities of ~~$395.1~~$402.5 million and ~~$222.9~~$285.3 million, respectively. ~~Subscriptions~~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~~repurchases of our common stock from our stockholders. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, we repurchased ~~$100.0~~$571.3 million and ~~$173.8~~$100.0 million, respectively, of our common stock. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, we also paid dividends of $49.4 million and $47.1 million, ~~and $43.9 million, respecti~~respectively.~~vely.~~
Despite current market conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not observed a loss of any significant customers, a significant deterioration in the collectability of receivables, a significant reduction in our liquidity, nor a significant decline in subscription renewal rates. We continue to maintain sufficient financial resources to meet our debt and operating obligations, an investment-grade credit rating, staggered debt maturities with no debt maturity until ~~May 2021,~~September 2022, and ongoing access to our Credit Facility and the investment grade debt markets.

Financing and Financing Capacity

We had total debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, unamortized discounts and ~~premium,~~premium, and debt issuance costs of ~~$3,150.0~~$3,635.0 million and ~~$3,200.0 million~~$3,310.0 million at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and we were in compliance with our financial and other debt ~~covenant~~s.covenants.

AsWe have a Credit Facility with a borrowing capacity of ~~March 31, 2021, we had a~~ $1,000.0 million ~~committed senior unsecured 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, dividends and the ~~share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program").~~Repurchase Program. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022, we were in compliance with all financial and other debt covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the available capacity under the Credit Facility was $185.4 million and $384.9 million, net of the letters of credit of $4.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. We had $810.0 million and $610.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we made repayments of $150.0 million under the Credit Facility.
On March 11, 2022, we entered into a $125.0 million Bilateral Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with Bank of America, N.A. The Term Loan carries an interest rate of 100bps plus the one month BSBY margin at the time of the original draw and each subsequent roll over period. At each roll over period, we can continue the loan for a period of 1 or 3 months until the agreed maturity date of September 10, 2022. This loan may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, and the Repurchase Program.
We are considering the implications of the transition of LIBOR to alternative reference rate measures that will likely become effective post December ~~2021.~~2021 for any new credit facilities or loans established. We believe that there is still some uncertainty over what these rates will be but one possibility for U.S. dollar LIBOR would be the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). or the BSBY. As this decision has not been finalized at the time of amending our Credit Facility agreement, there is no definitive alternative rate proposed in the current contract. We are, however, reviewing the potential impact on the application of this rate on our interest expense once it becomes ~~applicable.~~applicable; we however do not anticipate this change having a material impact on the interest expense charged on any applicable commitments. As our only current contract ~~extending beyond 2021,~~ that is subject to the LIBOR rate is the 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 our 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.

Critical Accounting ~~Policies and~~ Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 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.

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~~"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of ~~Operations”~~Operations" in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~23, 2021.~~22, 2022.
