Mike Flum, President & COO, said, "2021's strong economic conditions coupled with robust liquidity afforded by security markets and trade credit has reduced the U.S. public company bankruptcy rate to approximately 0.2% relative to the 70-year long-run average of about 1-1.2%. We remain committed to reinvestment in the business with new product development, data acquisition, and employee growth through retention and hiring. Our top priority remains the final testing and launch of our new supply chain risk platform, SupplyChainMonitor™, scheduled for the second quarter of 2022. In December 2021, we launched our European Private Company Data Enhancement which expanded our private company coverage by more than 9 million new businesses. Additionally, we will be expanding the coverage of our private company PAYCE® score with a model update expected to go live in 2022. All of these initiatives require considerable resources to create, test, and launch; however, they represent major growth opportunities for our business. Finally, our continued investments in operational infrastructure and systems are yielding efficiency gains while providing solid foundations on which to scale up."
