NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Amounts in millions, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
Verisk Analytics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Verisk” or the “Company”) 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, Verisk draws on numerous data assets and domain expertise to provide first-to-marketfirst-to-market innovations that are integrated into customer workflows. Verisk offers 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, Verisk helps customers protect people, property, and financial assets.
Verisk was established to serve as the parent holding company of Insurance Services Office, Inc. (“ISO”) upon 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, the Company broadened its data assets, entered new markets, placed a greater emphasis on analytics, and pursued strategic acquisitions. Verisk trades 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. The Company has modified its operations in line with its business continuity plans due to COVID-19. While its facilities generally remain open, the Company is making extensive use of the work-from-home model at this moment. On a daily basis, management is reviewing the Company's operations and there have been to date minimal interruptions in the Company's customer facing operations. Given the digital nature of the Company's business and the move toward cloud enablement, the Company expects to remain operationally stable and fully available to its customers. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and has not observed a loss of any significant customers, a significant deterioration in the collectability of receivables, a significant reduction in its liquidity nor a significant decline in subscription renewal rates.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill, the realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities, acquisition related liabilities, fair value of stock basedstock-based compensation for stock options granted, and assets and liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20192020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 2020 and 2018,2019, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Other than adopting Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 842,
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters |
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) In June 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("Topic 326") | Topic 326 replaces the current “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” model referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. Under the CECL model, an entity is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement takes place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model required under U.S. GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. | The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2020. | Refer to the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the adjustment of the opening retained earnings and Note 4. Fair Value Measurements for further discussions. |
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU No.2020-04"). | The amendment in this update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendment in this update applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendment does not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. | The amendment in this update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. | The Company adopted this amendment on March 12, 2020. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company continues to monitor the transition of LIBOR to alternative reference rate measures that will likely become effective post December 2021. |

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 award.awards. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected annual dividend rate on the date of grant.
Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the adjusted closing price of Verisk common stock as of the reporting date. Excess tax benefits from exercised stock options were recorded as income tax benefit in the 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 6.05 6.1years and 4.794.8 years for the outstanding and exercisable stock options, respectively, as of June 30, 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was $103.9 million of total unrecognized compensation costs, exclusive of the impact of vesting upon retirement eligibility, related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2013 Incentive Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The total grant date fair value of options vested was $10.1 million and $8.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The total grant date fair value of PSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $4.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
The Company’s UK Sharesave Plan offers qualifying employees in the United Kingdom the opportunity to own shares of the Company’s common stock. Employees who elect to participate are granted stock options, of which the exercise price is equal to the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 9480 stock options under the UK Sharesave Plan. As of June 30, 2020, there were 462,040 shares of common stock 4,613 shares of nonqualified stock options that were immediately vested, 15,690 non-qualified stock options with a one-year service period that vests ratably over twelve months,reserved and 11,639 deferred stock units toavailable for future issuance under the Directors of the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 2020 and 2018,2019, the Company issued 15,96517,549 and 14,77915,965 shares of common stock at a weighted discounted price of $132.48$145.90 and $100.57$132.48 for the ESPP, respectively.
The Company maintains a frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan for certain of its employees through membership in the Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the “Pension Plan”), a multiple-employer trust. The Company also applies 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. The Company also has a frozen non-qualified supplemental cash balance plan (“SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is funded from the general assets of the Company.
The Company also provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to certain qualifying active and retired employees.

ASC 280-10,
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 the Company's revenue recognition policy. Below is the overview of the solutions offered within each reportable segment.
Insurance:
The Company is the leading provider of statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. The Company’s databases include cleansed and standardized records describing premiums and losses in insurance transactions, casualty and property risk attributes for commercial buildings and their occupants and fire suppression capabilities of municipalities.

The Company also develops solutions that its customers use to analyze key processes in managing risk. The Company’s combination of algorithms and analytic methods incorporates its proprietary data to generate solutions. In most cases, the Company’s customers integrate the solutions into their models, formulas or underwriting criteria in order to predict potential loss events, ranging from hurricanes to earthquakes.

This segment's revenues represented approximately 72%71% and 71%72% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Our Energy and Specialized Markets segment provides research and consulting data analytics for the global energy, chemicals, and metals and mining industries. Our Energy and Specialized Markets segment's revenues represented approximately 21%23% and 22%21% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Our Financial Services segment provides competitive benchmarking, decisioning algorithms, business intelligence, and customized analytic services to financial institutions, payment networks and processors, alternative lenders, regulators and merchants. Our Financial Services segment's revenues represented approximately 6% and 7% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
COVID-19
Since January 2020, an outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or 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 2018.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.
We have analyzed our solutions and services to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our revenue streams. We have not identified any material impact of COVID-19 on approximately 85% of our revenues at this point, 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 June 30, 2020.
Of the remaining 15%, we have identified 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 approximately 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. 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 during the last two weeks of March 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2020, currently we do not anticipate lasting impacts of a material nature to our long-term growth profile. As the global outbreak of COVID-19 is still rapidly evolving, management continues to closely monitor its impact on our business.

Hosted subscriptionsSubscriptions 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. Our long-term agreements are generally for periods of three to five years. We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the term of the long-term agreements.
Approximately 82%83% and 81%82% of the revenues in our Insurance segment for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018, respectively,2019 were derived from hosted subscriptions with long-termthrough agreements (generally one to five years) for our solutions.solutions, respectively. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the U.S. Approximately 78%85% and 79%78% of the revenues in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018, respectively,2019 were derived from hosted subscriptions with long-term agreements for our solutions.solutions, respectively. Our customers in this segment include most of the top 10 global energy providers around the world.providers. Approximately 72%75% and 75%72% of the revenues in our Financial Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018, respectively,2019 were derived from subscriptions with long-term agreements for our solutions.solutions, respectively. Our customers in this segment include financial institutions, payment networks and processors, alternative lenders, regulators, merchants, and all of 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately 17% and 2018, approximately 20% of our consolidated revenues were derived from providing transactional recurring and non-recurring 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 51%60% and 59% of our total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018,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, 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.

EBITDA is a financial measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. “EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. See Note 13 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. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $156.6$312.9 million and $142.8$188.2 million, respectively. Subscriptions for our solutions are billed and generally paid in advance of rendering services either quarterly or in full upon commencement of the annual or multi-year subscription period, in annual amounts. Most of our subscriptionswhich 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 $1,500.0 millionsyndicated revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, we believeexpect 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 thosethese businesses, our cash position is favorably affected by revenue growth, which results in a source of cash due to our customers prepaying for most of our services.
We have also historically used a portion of our cash for repurchases of our common stock from our stockholders. During the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, we repurchased $248.8 million and $125.0 million, and $179.4 millionrespectively, of our common stock,stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we also paid dividends of $87.9 million and $81.9 million, respectively.
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, and ongoing access to our Credit Facility and the investment grade debt markets.
Financing and Financing Capacity
On May 8, 2020, we completed an issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due 2050, or the "2050 notes". The 2050 notes mature on May 15, 2050 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 3.625% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually on the 2050 notes on May 15th and November 15th of each year, beginning on November 15, 2020. The 2050 notes were issued at a discount of $5.2 million and we incurred debt issuance costs of $5.7 million. The original issue discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized over the life of the 2050 notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2050 notes were utilized to partially repay the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The indenture governing the 2050 notes restricts our ability to, among other things, create certain liens, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and consolidate with, sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our assets, or merge with or into, any other person or entity.
We had total short-term and long-term debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, unamortized discounts and the original issue discountspremium, and debt issuance costs on our senior notes and credit facility, of $2,520.0$3,150.0 million and $2,715.0$3,145.0 million at June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, respectively, and we were in compliance with our financial and other debt covenants.
As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had a borrowing capacity of $1,500.0$1,000.0 million of which $1,425.2 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, was available for borrowings under the Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A., and a syndicate of other banks.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.
We are considering the implications of the transition of LIBOR to alternative reference rate measures that will likely become effective post December 2021. 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, or SOFR. 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. 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, based on recent borrowings and applicable SOFR, we do not anticipate to have a material impact on the business.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the available capacity under the Credit Facility is payable at an interest ratewas $994.8 million and $500.2 million, net of LIBOR plus 1.125% to 1.625%, depending upon the consolidated funded debt leverage ratio. Asletters of June 30, 2019credit of $5.2 million and December 31, 2018, we$4.8 million, respectively. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of $70.0June 30, 2020 and had $495.0 million and $415.0 million, respectively.as of December 31, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, we had borrowings of $325.0$265.0 million and repayments of $670.0$760.0 million under the Credit Facility.
