Revenues

Consolidated revenues increased 4.0%, and 1.1% on an OCC basis, for second-quarter 2020. Normalizing for the impact of the injunction on roof measurement solutions, which adjusts for $8 million of associated revenue in the prior-year period, OCC revenue would have grown 2.4% in second-quarter 2020.

The company has analyzed its solutions and services to assess the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue streams. It has not identified any material impact of COVID-19 on approximately 85% of its revenues at this point, as much of these revenues are subscription-based in nature and subject to long-term contracts. Normalizing for the impact of the injunction on the roof measurement solutions, these revenues would have grown approximately 6.5% on an OCC basis in the second quarter of 2020. Of the remaining 15%, the company has identified specific solutions and services, largely transactional in nature, that are being negatively impacted by COVID-19.  These revenues declined approximately 20% on an OCC basis in second-quarter 2020 compared to the prior-year period.

Revenues		$	1,368.6			$	1,277.6				7.1				3.0

Insurance segment revenues grew 3.3% in the second quarter of 2020 and 2.5% on an OCC basis. Normalizing for the impact of the injunction on roof measurement solutions, Insurance revenue would have grown 4.3% on an OCC basis.

•

Underwriting & rating revenues increased 9.1% in the quarter and 5.1% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from an annual increase in prices derived from the continued enhancements to the content of the solutions within the industry-standard insurance programs, as well as selling expanded solutions to existing customers in commercial and personal lines. In addition, catastrophe modeling services contributed to the growth. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certain transactional revenues.

•

Claims revenues declined 8.6% in the quarter and 2.9% on an OCC basis. Reported and OCC growth were negatively impacted by the injunction ruling against roof measurement solutions, as well as a decline in certain transactional revenues in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Normalizing for the impact of the injunction on roof measurement solutions, Claims revenue would have grown 2.6% on an OCC basis. Growth was primarily driven by repair cost estimating solutions revenue, workers compensation claims resolution services, and claims analytics revenue.

Energy and Specialized Markets segment revenues increased 12.4% in the quarter and declined 2.8% on an OCC basis. The Genscape acquisition, environmental health and safety service solutions, core research, and weather analytics solutions contributed to the growth. The remaining decrease within the segment was primarily due to declines in cost intelligence solutions' implementation projects that did not reoccur, and consulting revenues in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financial Services segment revenues decreased 14.1% in the quarter and 2.7% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent dispositions.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA

During second-quarter 2020, net income increased 19.0%, driven by cost discipline in the business, a reduction in travel expenses as a result of COVID-19, the timing shift of a $10 million expense related to annual long-term equity incentive grants that was recognized in the first quarter of this year as compared to the second quarter in the prior year, and a lower level of acquisition-related costs (earn-outs). Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.5%, and 12.4% on an OCC basis. Normalizing for the impact of the injunction on roof measurement solutions, OCC adjusted EBITDA would have grown 15.4% for second-quarter 2020.

Earnings Per Share

Diluted EPS increased 20.0% to $1.08 for the second quarter of 2020 due to cost discipline in the business, a reduction in travel expenses as a result of COVID-19, the above-mentioned timing shift in expense related to annual long-term equity incentive grants, and a decrease in acquisition-related costs (earn-outs). Diluted adjusted EPS grew 17.3% to $1.29 for the second quarter of 2020, reflecting cost discipline in the business and a lower average share count.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $250 million for the second quarter of 2020, up 24.6%. Capital expenditures were $57 million for the second quarter of 2020, up 20.9%. Free cash flow was $193 million for the second quarter of 2020, up 25.7%, primarily due to an increase in customer collections and operating profit, a reduction in travel payments as a result of COVID-19, as well as a deferral of federal income taxes and certain employer payroll taxes resulting from the CARES Act, partially offset by earnout payments of $65.1 million.

Free cash flow represented 55.4% of adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020, compared with 50.4% in the prior-year period.

Senior Notes

During the second quarter of 2020, the company completed an issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due in 2050, at an issue price of 98.97% for an effective yield of 3.682%. The company used the proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Dividend

On June 30, 2020, Verisk paid a cash dividend of 27 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of June 15, 2020.

On July 29, 2020, Verisk's Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 27 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding, payable on September 30, 2020, to holders of record as of September 15, 2020.

Share Repurchases

Including the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) settled in the second quarter of 2020, the company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares at an average price of $152.59, for a total cost of $75 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Expenses: EBITDA represents GAAP net income adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets; (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) interest expense; and (iv) provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related costs (earn-outs), gain/loss from dispositions (which include businesses held for sale), nonrecurring gain/loss, and interest income on the subordinated promissory note. Adjusted EBITDA expenses represent adjusted EBITDA net of revenues. The company believes these measures are useful and meaningful because they allow for greater transparency regarding the company’s operating performance and facilitate period-to-period comparison.

Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Adjusted EPS: Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income adjusted for (i) amortization of intangible assets, net of tax; (ii) acquisition-related costs (earn-outs), net of tax; (iii) gain/loss from dispositions (which include businesses held for sale), net of tax; (iv) nonrecurring gain/loss, net of tax; and (v) interest income on the subordinated promissory note, net of tax. Diluted adjusted EPS represents adjusted net income divided by weighted-average diluted shares. The company believes these measures are useful and meaningful because they allow evaluation of the after-tax profitability of the company’s results excluding the after-tax effect of acquisition-related costs and nonrecurring items.

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

Organic Constant Currency (OCC): The company’s operating results, such as, but not limited to, revenue and adjusted EBITDA, reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying foreign currencies in which it transacts change in value over time compared with the U.S. dollar; accordingly, it presents certain constant currency financial information to assess how the company performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The company calculates constant currency by translating comparable prior-year-period results at the currency exchange rates used in the current period. The company defines “organic” as operating results excluding the effect of recent acquisitions and dispositions (which include businesses held for sale) that have occurred over the past year. An acquisition is included as organic at the beginning of the calendar quarter that occurs after the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date. Once an acquisition is included in its current-period organic base, its comparable prior-year-period operating results are also included to calculate organic growth. A disposition (which includes a business held for sale) is excluded from organic at the beginning of the calendar quarter in which the disposition occurs (or when a business meets the held-for-sale criteria under U.S. GAAP). Once a disposition is excluded from its current-period organic base, its comparable prior-year-period operating results are also excluded to calculate organic growth. The organic presentation enables investors to assess the growth of the business without the impact of recent acquisitions for which there is no prior-year comparison. A disposition’s results are removed from all prior periods presented to allow for comparability. The company believes organic constant currency is a useful and meaningful measure to enhance investors’ understanding of the continuing operating performance of its business and to facilitate the comparison of period-to-period performance because it excludes the impact of foreign exchange rate movements, acquisitions, and dispositions.
