VERISK ANALYTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
1. Organization:
Verisk Analytics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Verisk or the Company) enable
risk-bearing businesses to better understand and manage their risks. The Company provides its
customers proprietary data that, combined with analytic methods, creates embedded decision support
solutions. The Company is one of the largest aggregators and providers of data pertaining to
property and casualty (P&C) or P&C insurance risks in the United States of America (U.S.). The
Company offers solutions for detecting fraud in the U.S. P&C insurance, mortgage and healthcare
industries and sophisticated methods to predict and quantify loss in diverse contexts ranging from
natural catastrophes to health insurance. The Company provides solutions, including data,
statistical models or tailored analytics, all designed to allow clients to make more logical
decisions.
Verisk was established on May 23, 2008 to serve as the parent holding company of Insurance
Services Office, Inc. (ISO) upon completion of the initial public offering (IPO). ISO was
formed in 1971 as an advisory and rating organization for the 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 has broadened its data
assets, entered new markets, placed a greater emphasis on analytics, and pursued strategic
acquisitions. On October 6, 2009, ISO effected a corporate reorganization whereby the Class A and
Class B common stock of ISO were exchanged by the current stockholders for the common stock of
Verisk on a one-for-one basis. Verisk immediately thereafter effected a fifty-for-one stock split
of its Class A and Class B common stock and equally sub-divided the Class B common stock into two
new series of stock, Verisk Class B (Series 1) and Verisk Class B (Series 2). Except as the
context otherwise requires, all share and per share information in the condensed consolidated
financial statements gives effect to the fifty-for-one stock split that occurred immediately after
the reorganization.
On October 9, 2009, the Company completed its IPO. Upon completion of the IPO, the selling
stockholders sold 97,995,750 shares of Class A common stock of Verisk, which included the
12,745,750 over-allotment option, at the IPO price of $22.00 per share. The Company did not
receive any proceeds from the sales of common stock in the offering. Verisk trades on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market under the ticker symbol VRSK.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
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, acquisition related liabilities, fair value of stock based compensation,
liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits, and the estimate for the allowance for
doubtful accounts. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010 and for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the Companys financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the three months ended March 31,
2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 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, 2009. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company
believes the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
5
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-12, Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of
the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts (ASU No. 2010-12). On March 30, 2010, the President signed the
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which is a reconciliation bill that amends
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was signed by the President on March 23, 2010
(the Acts). ASU No. 2010-12 provides guidance on questions that have arisen about the effect, if
any, that the different signing dates might have on the accounting for these two Acts. The
adoption of ASU No. 2010-12, effective March 31, 2010, did not have any impact on the companys
consolidated financial statements as the two acts were both signed within the Companys three month
reporting period ended March 31, 2010.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(ASU No. 2010-06). ASU No. 2010-06 provides guidance on improving disclosures on fair value
measurements, such as the transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and the
disaggregated activity in the rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for
the disclosures about the disaggregated activity in the rollforward for Level 3 fair value
measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010
and for interim periods within those fiscal periods. The adoption of the portion of ASU No.
2010-06 that discusses the transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, effective January
1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the portion of ASU No. 2010-06 that discusses the
disclosures about the disaggregated activity in the rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements
on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
(ASU No. 2009-13). ASU No. 2009-13 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for
arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities.
Specifically, ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and
allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. ASU No. 2009-13 is
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected
not to early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2009-13 on its consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 860-10-50, Accounting
for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (ASC 860-10-50). ASC
860-10-50 was issued to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of
the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and
cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in the transferred financial assets.
ASC 860-10-50 is effective for an entitys first annual reporting period that begins after
November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim
and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of ASC
860-10-50, effective January 1, 2010, did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-50, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (ASC
810-10-50). ASC 810-10-50 was issued to address the effects on certain provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN
No. 46(R)), as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC
810-10-50 and constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FIN No.
46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the interpretation do not
always provide timely and useful information about an enterprises involvement in a variable
interest entity. ASC 810-10-50 is effective for an entitys first annual reporting period that
begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810-10-50, effective January 1, 2010, did not
have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

non-controlling interests and for which no readily determinable market value exists. These
securities were accounted for under the cost method in accordance with ASC 323-10-25, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (ASC 323-10-25). At March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the carrying value of such securities was $3,841 for each period and have been
included in Other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
4. Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are reported at fair value in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both
financial and non-financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability of assets and
liabilities recorded at fair value, ASC 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10) establishes
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, the Company 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 and 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 is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market
participant would require.
|
7
The following tables provide information for such assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, acquisitions related liabilities, and short-term debt approximate
their carrying amounts because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of
the Companys long-term debt was estimated at $582,396 and $578,804 as of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively, and is based on an estimate of interest rates available to the
Company for debt with similar features, the Companys current credit rating and spreads applicable
to the Company. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following table.

Cost based investment consists of a non-controlling interest in a
private equity security with no readily determinable market value.
This investment was recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as
a result of an other-than-temporary impairment of $2,012 at December
31, 2009. In establishing the estimated fair value of this
investment, the Company took into consideration the financial
condition and operating results of the underlying company and other
indicators of fair values, such as fair value utilized by the
Companys private equity offering. This investment was recorded at
adjusted cost as of March 31, 2010. |

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. The Company completed the required annual impairment test as
of June 30, 2009, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill. This 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 units net assets including goodwill exceeds
the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will determine the implied fair value of the
reporting units goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds
its implied
fair value, then an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and
the implied fair value of goodwill. There were no goodwill impairment indicators after the date of
the last annual impairment test.

Other liabilities consist of a $1,500 payment due to the sellers of Strategic Analytics,
assuming no pre-acquisition indemnity claims arise subsequent to the acquisition date through
December 31, 2012, which was funded into escrow at close. The remaining balance is contingent
consideration of $491, which was estimated as of the acquisition date by averaging the probability
of achieving each of the specific predetermined EBITDA and revenue targets, which could result in
a payment ranging from $0 to $18,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The terms of
the contingent consideration include a range that allows the sellers to benefit from the potential
growth of Strategic Analytics; however, the amount recorded as of March 31, 2010 represents
managements best estimate based on the prior financial results as well as managements current
best estimate of the future growth of revenue and EBITDA. Subsequent changes in the fair value of
contingent consideration is recorded in the statement of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred legal expenses related to this
acquisition of $217 included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

funded at close, assuming no pre-acquisition indemnity claims arise subsequent to the acquisition
date, and $3,344 of contingent consideration, which was estimated as of the acquisition date by
averaging the probability of achieving each of the specific predetermined EBITDA and revenue
targets, which could result in a payment ranging from $0 to $65,700 for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2011 for D2 and a payment ranging from $0 to $6,000 for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2010 for TierMed. Under ASC 805, contingent consideration is recognized at fair value

The preliminary
allocation of the purchase price for the 2010 and 2009 acquisitions to
intangible assets, goodwill, accrued liabilities, and the determination of an ASC 740-10-25,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10-25), liability is subject to revisions,
which may have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. As the values
of such assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as
additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the
acquisition date. In accordance with ASC 805, the allocation of the purchase price will be
finalized once all information is obtained, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
The value of goodwill associated with these acquisitions is currently included within the Decision
Analytics segment. The goodwill for the Enabl-u and TierMed acquisitions are expected to be
deductible for tax purposes over fifteen years. The goodwill for the D2 and Strategic Analytics
acquisitions are not deductible for tax purposes. Included within the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are revenues of $94 and an
operating loss of $472, associated with the Strategic Analytics
acquisition. Excluding the final
resolution of indemnity escrows and contingent consideration, the Company finalized the purchase
accounting for the acquisition of D2 and there have been no adjustments since December 31, 2009.
7. Income Taxes:
As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the tax treatment of federal subsidies paid to sponsors of
retiree health benefit plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially
equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare Part D was effectively changed.
The legislative change reduces the future tax benefits of the coverage provided by the Company to
participants in the postretirement plan. The Company is required to account for this change in the
period for which the law is enacted. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash tax
charge of $2,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The Companys
effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 43.5% compared
to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of 42.9%. The effective rate
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was higher primarily due to a change in deferred tax
assets of $2,362 resulting from reduced tax benefits of Medicare subsidies associated with
legislative changes in the current period. Without this charge, the effective rate for the
current period would have been 41.1%. This rate is lower than the prior period due to lower
nondeductible expenses in 2010 related to the ISO 401(K) Savings and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (KSOP). The difference between statutory tax rates and the
companys effective tax rate are primarily attributable to state taxes and nondeductible share appreciation
from the KSOP.

On January 19, 2010 and January 25, 2010, the Company paid $10,000 and $50,000, respectively,
of its outstanding borrowings from its syndicated revolving credit facility as of December 31,
2009. The Company did not enter into any new borrowings during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
In March 2010, the Company amended the New York Life Master Shelf Agreement to increase the
authorization of additional senior promissory notes by $15,000, from $100,000, to $115,000, and to
extend the maturity of the agreement through March 2013. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, the Company had long-term debt outstanding of $85,000 under this agreement.

9. Redeemable Common Stock:
Prior to the corporate reorganization on October 6, 2009, the Company followed ASC
480-10-S99-1, Presentation in Financial Statements of Preferred Redeemable Stock (ASC
480-10-S99-1). ASC 480-10-S99-1 required the Company to record ISO Class A common stock and vested stock
options at full redemption value at each balance sheet date as the redemption of these securities
was not solely within the control of the Company. Effective with the corporate reorganization, the
Company is no longer obligated to redeem shares of ISO Class A common stock and is therefore no longer required to
record the ISO Class A common stock and vested stock options at redemption value under ASC 480-10-S99-1.
The reversal of the redeemable common stock of $1,064,896 on October 6, 2009 resulted in the
elimination of accumulated deficit of $440,584, an increase of $30 to Class A common stock at par
value, an increase of $624,282 to additional paid-in-capital, and a reclassification of the ISO
Class A unearned common stock KSOP shares balance of $1,305 to unearned KSOP contributions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, 1,669,550 shares of ISO Class A common stock were redeemed by
the Company at a weighted average price of $15.50 per share.
10. Stockholders Equity/(Deficit):
On November 18, 1996, the Company authorized 335,000,000 shares of ISO Class A redeemable
common stock. Effective with the corporate reorganization on October 6, 2009, the ISO Class A
redeemable common stock and all Verisk Class B shares sold into the IPO were converted to Verisk
Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, the Verisk Class A common stock
authorized was increased to 1,200,000,000 shares. The Verisk Class A common shares have rights to
any dividend declared by the board of directors, subject to any preferential or other rights of any
outstanding preferred stock, and voting rights to elect nine of the twelve members of the board of
directors. The Company did not repurchase any Class A shares during the
three months ended March 31, 2010.
On November 18, 1996, the Company authorized 1,000,000,000 ISO Class B shares and issued
500,225,000 shares. On October 6, 2009, the Company completed a corporate reorganization whereby
the ISO Class B common stock and treasury stock were converted to Verisk Class B common stock on a
one-for-one basis. All Verisk Class B shares sold into the IPO were converted to Verisk Class A
common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, the Verisk Class B common stock authorized was
reduced to
800,000,000 shares, sub-divided into 400,000,000 shares of Class B (Series 1) (Class B-1) and 400,000,000 shares of
Class B (Series 2) (Class B-2). Each share of Class B-1 common stock shall convert automatically, without any action by
the stockholder, into one share of Verisk Class A common stock on April 6, 2011.
Each share of Class B-2 common stock shall convert automatically, without any action by the
stockholder, into one share of Verisk Class A common stock on October 6, 2011.
The Class B shares have the same rights as Verisk Class A shares with respect to dividends and
economic ownership, but have voting rights to elect three of the twelve directors. The Company did
not repurchase any Class B shares during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
On October 6, 2009, the Company authorized 80,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.001 per share, in connection with the reorganization. The preferred shares have preferential
rights over the Verisk Class A and Class B common shares with respect to dividends and net
distribution upon liquidation. The Company did not issue any preferred shares from the
reorganization date through March 31, 2010.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
As disclosed in Note 1 Organization, on October 6, 2009 Verisk became the new parent
holding company of ISO. In connection with the IPO, the stock of ISO was exchanged for the stock
of Verisk on a one-for-one basis and Verisk effected a fifty-for-one stock split of its Verisk
Class A and Class B common stock. As a result of the stock split on October 6, 2009, all share and
per share data throughout this report has been adjusted to reflect the
fifty-for-one stock split.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less the
weighted average Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares of common stock that have not been
committed to be released. 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, such as stock awards and stock options, had been issued.

The potential shares of common stock that were excluded from diluted EPS were 147,280 and
5,301,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because the effect of
including these potential shares was antidilutive.

11. Stock Option Plan:
All of the
Companys outstanding stock options are covered under the Verisk Analytics, Inc.
2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) or the Insurance Services Office, Inc. 1996 Incentive Plan. Awards under the 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, directors and
consultants are eligible for awards under the Incentive Plan. On October 6, 2009, Verisk granted
options to purchase 2,875,871 shares of our Verisk Class A common stock to its directors, officers
and key employees. These options have an exercise price equal to the IPO price of $22.00 and a ten
year contractual term and the majority of the awards have a four year vesting term; however,
certain awards have a three year vesting term. Cash received from stock option exercises for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0 and $179, respectively. As of March 31, 2010,
there are 10,874,129 shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for future issuance. On
April 1, 2010,
the Company granted 2,011,390 nonqualified stock options to key employees with an exercise
price equal to the closing price of the Companys Class A
common stock on March 31, 2010, with a ten year contractual term and a
service vesting period of four years.
The expected term for a majority of the awards granted was estimated based on studies of
historical experience and projected exercise behavior. However, for certain awards granted, for which
no historical exercise pattern exist, 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 was based on the
average volatility of the Companys peers, calculated using historical daily closing prices over
the most recent period that commensurates with the expected term of the stock option award. The
expected dividend yield was based on the Companys expected annual dividend rate on the date of
grant.
Exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010 ranged from $1.84 to
$22.00 as outlined in the following table:

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2010 was $466,878.
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options currently exercisable at March 31, 2010 was
$385,370. Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the
underlying awards and the quoted price of Verisks common stock as of the reporting date.
The Company estimates expected forfeitures of equity awards at the date of grant and
recognizes compensation expense only for those awards that the Company expects to vest. The
forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Changes in the
forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the
requisite service period and may impact the timing of expense recognized over the requisite service
period.

As of March 31, 2010, there was $37,649 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Plan. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.78 years. As of March 31, 2010,
there were 8,239,121 nonvested stock options, of which 7,307,251 are expected to vest. The total
grant date fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was
$6,177 and $2,825, respectively.
12. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:
Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company maintained a qualified defined benefit pension plan for
substantially all of its employees through membership in the Pension Plan for Insurance
Organizations (the Pension Plan), a multiple-employer trust. The Company has applied the
projected unit credit cost method for its pension plan, which attributes an equal portion of total
projected benefits to each year of employee service. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company amended
the Pension Plan to determine future benefits using a cash balance formula. Under the cash balance
formula, each participant has an account, which is credited annually based on salary rates
determined by years of service, as well as the interest earned on their previous year-end cash
balance. Prior to December 31, 2001, pension plan benefits were based on years of service and the
average of the five highest consecutive years earnings of the last ten years. Effective March 1,
2005, the Company established the Profit Sharing Plan, a defined contribution plan, to replace the
Pension Plan for all eligible employees hired on or after March 1, 2005. The Company also has a
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 for both active and
retired employees. The Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Plan (the Postretirement Plan) is
contributory, requiring participants to pay a stated percentage of the premium for coverage. As of
October 1, 2001, the Postretirement Plan was amended to freeze benefits for current retirees and
certain other employees at the January 1, 2002 level. Also, as of October 1, 2001, the
Postretirement Plan had a curtailment, which eliminated retiree life insurance for all active
employees and healthcare benefits for almost all future retirees, effective January 1, 2002.
The components of net periodic benefit cost and the amounts recognized in other comprehensive
income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized below:

13. Segment Reporting:
ASC 280-10, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (ASC
280-10), establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. ASC 280-10
requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Companys
CEO and Chairman of the Board is identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as
defined by ASC 280-10. To align with the internal management of the Companys business operations
based on product and service offerings, the Company is organized into the following two operating
segments:
Risk Assessment: The Company is the leading provider of statistical, actuarial and
underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. The Companys 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 uses 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.
Decision Analytics: The Company develops solutions that its customers use to analyze the three
key processes in managing risk: prediction of loss, detection and prevention of fraud, and
quantification of loss. The Companys combination of algorithms and analytic methods
incorporates its proprietary data to generate solutions in each of these four categories. In
most cases, the Companys customers integrate the solutions into their models, formulas or
underwriting criteria in order to predict potential loss events, ranging from hurricanes and
earthquakes to unanticipated healthcare claims. The Company develops catastrophe and extreme
event models and offers solutions covering natural and man-made risks, including acts of
terrorism. The Company also develops solutions that allow customers to quantify costs after loss
events occur. Fraud solutions include data on claim histories, analysis of mortgage applications
to identify misinformation, analysis of claims to find emerging patterns of fraud and
identification of suspicious claims in the insurance, mortgage and healthcare sectors.
The two aforementioned operating segments represent the segments for which separate discrete
financial information is available and upon which operating results are regularly evaluated by the
CODM in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company uses segment EBITDA as the
profitability measure for making decisions regarding ongoing operations. Segment EBITDA is income
from continuing operations before investment income and interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. Segment EBITDA is the measure of operating results used to assess
corporate performance and optimal utilization of debt and acquisitions. Segment 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. The Company does
not allocate investment income, realized losses, interest income, interest expense or income tax
expense, since these items are not considered in evaluating the segments overall operating
performance. The CODM does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on assets.
On a geographic basis, no individual country outside of the United States accounted for 1% or more
of the Companys consolidated revenue for either the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009. No
individual country outside of the United States accounted for 1% or more of total consolidated
long-term assets as of March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
The following tables provide the Companys revenue and operating income performance by
reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, as well as a reconciliation
to income before income taxes for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations:

14. Related Parties:
The Company considers its Verisk Class A and Class B stockholders that own more than 5% of the
outstanding stock within the respective class to be related parties as defined within ASC 850,
Related Party Disclosures. As a result of the Companys initial public offering, the Companys
related parties changed during the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations. At March 31, 2010, there were six Class B stockholders each owning more
than 5% of the outstanding Class B shares compared to seven Class B stockholders at March 31, 2009
of which three remained unchanged. The Companys related parties remained unchanged as of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, one of these Class B stockholders has an
employee that serves on the Companys board of directors. The Company had accounts receivable, net
of $2,959 and $1,353 and fees received in advance of $6,669 and $439 from related parties as of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company had revenues from
related parties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of $15,133 and $24,087,
respectively.
The Company incurred expenses associated with the payment of insurance coverage premiums to
certain of the largest stockholders aggregating $3 and $112 for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009. These costs are included in Cost of revenues and Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
15. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company is a party to legal proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the
ordinary course of business, including those matters described below. The Company is unable, at
the present time, to determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the
range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Companys
results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because many of these
cases remain in their early stages and only limited discovery has taken place. Although the Company
believes it has strong defenses for the litigation proceedings described below, the Company could
in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Claims Outcome Advisor Litigation
Hensley, et al. v. Computer Sciences Corporation et al. was a putative nationwide class action
complaint, filed in February 2005, in Miller County, Arkansas state court. Defendants include
numerous insurance companies and providers of software products used by insurers in paying claims.
The Company is among the named defendants. Plaintiffs allege that certain software products,
including the Companys Claims Outcome Advisor product and a competing software product sold by
Computer Sciences Corporation, improperly estimated the amount to be paid by insurers to their
policyholders in connection with claims for bodily injuries.
18
The Company entered into settlement agreements with plaintiffs asserting claims relating to
the use of Claims Outcome Advisor by defendants Hanover Insurance Group, Progressive Car Insurance
and Liberty Mutual Insurance Group. Each of these settlements was granted final approval by the
court and together the settlements resolve the claims asserted in this case against the Company
with respect to the above insurance companies, who settled the claims against them as well. A
provision was made in 2006 for this proceeding and the total amount the Company paid in 2008 with
respect to these settlements was less than $2,000. A fourth defendant, The Automobile Club of
California, which is alleged to have used Claims Outcome Advisor, was dismissed from the action. On
August 18, 2008, pursuant to the agreement of the parties the Court ordered that the claims against
the Company be dismissed with prejudice.
Hanover Insurance Group made a demand for reimbursement, pursuant to an indemnification
provision contained in a December 30, 2004 License Agreement between Hanover and the Company, of
its settlement and defense costs in the Hensley class action. Specifically, Hanover has demanded
$2,536 including $600 in attorneys fees and expenses. The Company disputes that Hanover is
entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to the License Agreement. The Company and Hanover have
entered into a tolling agreement in order to allow the parties time to resolve the dispute without
litigation.
Xactware Litigation
The following two lawsuits have been filed by or on behalf of groups of Louisiana insurance
policyholders who claim, among other things, that certain insurers who used products and price
information supplied by the Companys Xactware subsidiary (and those of another provider) did not
fully compensate policyholders for property damage covered under their insurance policies. The
plaintiffs seek to recover compensation for their damages in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount paid by the defendants and the fair market repair/restoration costs of their
damaged property.
Schafer v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., et al. was a putative class action pending against the
Company and State Farm Fire & Casualty Company filed in March 2007 in the Eastern District of
Louisiana. The complaint alleged antitrust violations, breach of contract, negligence, bad faith,
and fraud. The court dismissed the antitrust claim as to both defendants and dismissed all claims
against the Company other than fraud, which will proceed to the discovery phase along with the
remaining claims against State Farm. Judge Duval denied plaintiffs motion to certify a class with
respect to the fraud and breach of contract claims on August 3, 2009 and the time to appeal that
decision has expired. The matter, now a single action, has been reassigned to Judge Africk.
Mornay v. Travelers Ins. Co., et al. is a putative class action pending against the Company
and Travelers Insurance Company filed in November 2007 in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The
complaint alleged antitrust violations, breach of contract, negligence, bad faith, and fraud. As in
Schafer, the court dismissed the antitrust claim as to both defendants and dismissed all claims
against the Company other than fraud. Judge Duval stayed all proceedings in the case pending an
appraisal of the lead plaintiffs insurance claim. The matter has been re-assigned to Judge
Barbier, who on September 11, 2009 issued an order administratively closing the matter pending
completion of the appraisal process.
At this time, it is not possible to determine the ultimate resolution of or estimate the
liability related to the Schafer and Mornay matters.
iiX Litigation
In March 2007, the Companys subsidiary, Insurance Information Exchange, or iiX, as well as
other information providers and insurers in the State of Texas, were served with a summons and
class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas
alleging violations of the Driver Privacy Protection Act, or the DPPA, entitled Sharon Taylor, et
al. v. Acxiom Corporation, et al. Plaintiffs brought the action on their own behalf and on behalf
of all similarly situated individuals whose personal information is contained in any motor vehicle
record maintained by the State of Texas and who have not provided express consent to the State of
Texas for the distribution of their personal information for purposes not enumerated by the DPPA
and whose personal information has been knowingly obtained and used by the defendants. The class
complaint alleges that the defendants knowingly obtained personal information for a purpose not
authorized by the DPPA and seeks liquidated damages in the amount of $3 for each instance of a
violation of the DPPA, punitive damages and the destruction of any illegally obtained personal
information. The Court granted iiXs motion to dismiss the complaint based on failure to state a
claim and for lack of standing. Oral arguments on the plaintiffs appeal of that dismissal were
held on November 4, 2009. A decision on the appeal is not expected for several months.
19
Interthinx Litigation
In September 2009, the Companys subsidiary, Interthinx, Inc., was served with a putative
class action entitled Renata Gluzman v. Interthinx, Inc. The plaintiff, a former Interthinx
employee, filed the class action on August 13, 2009 in the Superior Court of the State of
California, County of Los Angeles on behalf of all Interthinx information technology employees for
unpaid overtime and missed meals and rest breaks, as well as various related claims claiming that
the information technology employees were misclassified as exempt employees and, as a result, were
denied certain wages and benefits that would have been received if they were properly classified as
non-exempt employees. The pleadings include, among other things, a violation of Business and
Professions Code 17200 for unfair business practices which allows plaintiffs to include as class
members all information technology employees employed at Interthinx for four years prior to the
date of filing the complaint. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, penalties that are
associated with the various statutes, restitution, interest, costs and attorney fees. Although no
assurance can be given concerning the outcome of this matter, in the opinion of management the
lawsuit is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
16. Subsequent Events:
On April 29, 2010,
the Companys board of directors authorized a $150,000 share repurchase
program of the Companys Class A common stock. Under this repurchase program, the Company may
repurchase stock in the open market or as otherwise determined by the Company. The Company has no
obligation to repurchase stock under this program and intends to use this authorization as a means
of offsetting dilution from the issuance of shares under the KSOP. This authorization has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
Repurchased shares will be recorded as treasury stock and will be available for future issuance.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial
statements and the related notes included within our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2010.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any of the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
We enable risk-bearing businesses to better understand and manage their risks. We provide
value to our customers by supplying proprietary data that, combined with our analytic methods,
creates embedded decision support solutions. We are the largest aggregator and provider of data
pertaining to U.S. property and casualty, or P&C, insurance risks. We offer solutions for detecting
fraud in the U.S. P&C insurance, mortgage and healthcare industries and sophisticated methods to
predict and quantify loss in diverse contexts ranging from natural catastrophes to health
insurance.
Our customers use our solutions to make better risk decisions with greater efficiency and
discipline. We refer to these products and services as solutions due to the integration among our
products and the flexibility that enables our customers to purchase components or the comprehensive
package of products. These solutions take various forms, including data, statistical models or
tailored analytics, all designed to allow our clients to make more logical decisions. We believe
our solutions for analyzing risk positively impact our customers revenues and help them better
manage their costs.
On May 23, 2008, in contemplation of our initial public offering, we formed Verisk Analytics,
Inc., or Verisk, a Delaware corporation, to be the holding company for our business. Verisk was
initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insurance Services Office, Inc., or ISO. On
October 6, 2009, in connection with our initial public offering, we effected a reorganization
whereby ISO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verisk. Verisk had no operations prior to the
initial public offering.
We organize our business in two segments: Risk Assessment and Decision Analytics. Our Risk
Assessment segment provides statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance
industry. Our Risk Assessment segment revenues represented approximately 49% and 53% of our
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our Decision Analytics
segment provides solutions our customers use to analyze the three processes of the Verisk Risk
Analysis Framework: Prediction of Loss, Detection and Prevention of
Fraud, and Quantification of Loss. Our Decision Analytics segment revenues represented
approximately 51% and 47% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Executive Summary
Key Performance Metrics
We believe our businesss ability to generate recurring revenue and positive cash flow is the
key indicator of the successful execution of our business strategy. We use year over year revenue
growth and EBITDA margin as metrics to measure our performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are
non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (See footnote 2 within the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations section of
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
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 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.
Revenues
We earn revenues through subscriptions, long-term agreements and on a transactional basis.
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 or our
actuarial services throughout the subscription period. In general, we experience minimal
seasonality within the business. Our long-term agreements are generally for periods of three to
seven years. We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the term of the subscription and
most long-term agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
Certain of our solutions are also paid for by our customers on a transactional basis. For
example, we have solutions that allow our customers to access fraud detection tools in the context
of an individual mortgage application, obtain property-specific rating and underwriting information
to price a policy on a commercial building, or compare a P&C insurance, medical or workers
compensation claim with information in our databases. For the three month periods ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, 31% and 27% of our revenues were derived from providing
transactional solutions. We earn transactional revenues as our solutions are delivered or services
performed. In general, transactions are billed monthly at the end of each month.
21
More than 84% of the revenues in our Risk Assessment segment for each of the three month periods
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were derived from subscriptions and long-term agreements for our
solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the United
States, and we have retained approximately 99% of our P&C insurance customer base in each of the
last five years. More than 54% and 62% of the revenues in our Decision Analytics segment,
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were derived from subscriptions
and long-term agreements for our solutions.
Principal Operating Costs and Expenses
Personnel expenses are the major component of both our cost of revenues and selling, general
and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses include salaries, benefits, incentive
compensation, equity compensation costs (described under Equity Compensation Costs below),
sales commissions, employment taxes, recruiting costs, and outsourced temporary agency costs,
which represented 65% and 66% of our total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
We allocate personnel expenses between two categories, cost of revenues and selling, general
and administrative costs, 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, are also
either captured within cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expense 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.
Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel expenses. Cost of
revenues also includes the expenses associated with the acquisition 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 Expense. Our selling, general and administrative expense
also consists primarily of personnel costs. A portion of the other operating costs such as
facilities, insurance and communications are also allocated to selling, general and administrative
costs based on the nature of the work being performed by the employee. Our selling, general and
administrative expense excludes depreciation and amortization.
Description of Acquisitions
Since January 1, 2009 we acquired four businesses. As a result of these acquisitions, our
consolidated results of operations may not be comparable between periods.
On February 26, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Strategic Analytics, Inc., or Strategic
Analytics, a privately owned provider of credit risk and capital management solutions to consumer
and mortgage lenders. We believe this acquisition will allow our customers to take advantage of
state-of-the-art loss forecasting, stress testing, and economic capital requirement tools to better
understand and forecast the risk associated within their credit portfolios.
On October 30, 2009, we acquired the net assets of Enabl-u Technology Corporation, Inc, or
Enabl-u, a privately owned provider of data management, training and communication solutions to
companies with regional, national or global work forces. We believe this acquisition will enhance
our ability to provide solutions for customers to measure loss prevention and improve asset
management through the use of software and software services.
On July 24, 2009, we acquired the net assets of TierMed Systems, LLC, or TierMed, a privately
owned provider of Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, or HEDIS, solutions to
healthcare organizations that have HEDIS or quality-reporting needs. We believe this acquisition
will enhance our ability to provide solutions for customers to measure and improve healthcare
quality and financial performance through the use of software and software services.
22
On January 14, 2009, we acquired 100% of the stock of D2 Hawkeye, Inc., or D2, a
privately owned provider of data mining, decision support, clinical quality analysis, and risk
analysis tools for the healthcare industry. We believe this acquisition will enhance our position
in the healthcare analytics and predictive modeling market by providing new market, cross-sell, and
diversification opportunities for the Companys expanding healthcare solutions.
Equity Compensation Costs
We have a leveraged employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, funded with intercompany debt
that includes 401(k), ESOP and profit sharing components to provide employees with equity
participation. We make quarterly cash contributions to the plan equal to the debt service
requirements. As the debt is repaid, a percentage of the ESOP loan collateral is released to the ESOP to fund 401(k) matching and
profit sharing contributions and the remainder is allocated annually to active employees in
proportion to their eligible compensation in relation to total participants eligible
compensation.
We accrue
compensation expense over the reporting period equal to the fair value of the ESOP loan collateral
to be released to the ESOP.
In connection with our initial public offering, on October 6, 2009, we accelerated our future
ESOP allocation contribution through the end of the ESOP in 2013, to all participants eligible for
a contribution in 2009. This resulted in a non-recurring non-cash charge of approximately $57.7
million in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result, subsequent to the offering, the non-cash ESOP
allocation expense has been substantially reduced.
The
amount of our ESOP costs recognized for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 are as follows:

In addition,
the portion of the ESOP allocation expense related to the appreciation of the
value of the ESOP loan collateral in the ESOP above the value of the
contribution made when the ESOP was first
established is not tax deductible. Therefore, the accelerated ESOP allocation in the
fourth quarter of 2009 will result in a reduction to our effective tax rate in the year 2010 and
should have a similar impact in future periods.
23
Trends Affecting Our Business
A portion of our revenues is related to changes in historical insurance premiums; therefore,
our revenues could be positively or negatively affected by growth or declines in premiums for the
lines of insurance for which we perform services. The pricing of these solutions is based on an
individual customers premiums in a prior period, so the pricing is fixed at the inception of each
calendar year. The impact of insurance premiums has a more significant impact on the Risk
Assessment segment than it does on the Decision Analytics segment. Since 2005, premium growth in
the P&C insurance industry has slowed and we expect little or no growth for most industry insurance lines
during 2010. A significant portion of our revenues is from insurance companies. Although business
and new sales from these companies have generally remained strong, the current economic environment
could negatively impact buying demand for our solutions.
A portion of our revenues in the Decision Analytics segment is tied to the volume of
applications for new mortgages or refinancing of existing mortgages. Turmoil in the mortgage market
since 2007 has adversely affected revenue in this segment of our business. This trend began to
reverse in late 2008 spurred by lower mortgage interest rates. As a result of the rise in
foreclosures and early pay defaults, we have seen and expect to see in the future an increase in
revenues from our solutions that help our customers focus on improved underwriting quality of
mortgage loans. These solutions help to ensure the application data is accurate and identify and
rapidly settle bad loans, which may have been originated based upon fraudulent information.
24
Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations
From January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 we have acquired four businesses, which may affect
the comparability of our financial statements.

EBITDA is the financial measure which management uses to evaluate the performance of our
segments. EBITDA is defined as net income before investment income and realized
(gains)/losses on securities, net, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and
depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. In addition, this Managements
Discussion and Analysis includes references to EBITDA margin, which is computed as EBITDA
divided by revenues. See Note 13 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this 10-Q filing. |
25
|
|
|
|
|
Although EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA is frequently used by securities
analysts, lenders and other 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 results of operations or cash flow from operating activities reported under GAAP.
Management uses EBITDA in conjunction with traditional 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 requirement for, our working capital
needs; |
|
|
|
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash 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. |
Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Revenues
Revenues were $276.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $245.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $30.4 million or 12.4%. In the
first quarter of 2010 and the latter half of 2009, we acquired three companies, Strategic
Analytics, Enabl-u, and TierMed, collectively referred to as recent acquisitions, which accounted
for an increase of $1.4 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding
recent acquisitions, revenues increased $29.0 million, which included an increase in our Risk
Assessment segment of $5.0 million and an increase in our Decision Analytics segment of $24.0
million.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $115.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to
$107.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $7.5 million or 6.9%.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $1.9
million, which include annual salary increases, and medical costs, but reflects no ESOP
allocation expense in 2010 due to the accelerated ESOP allocation prior to our initial public
offering in the fourth quarter of 2009. ESOP allocation expense for the three months ending March
31, 2009 was $2.1 million. Other increases include data and consultant costs of $3.6 million
primarily in our Decision Analytics segment, costs related to recent acquisitions of $1.3
million, office maintenance fees of $0.3 million, and an increase in other operating expenses of
$0.4 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $37.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase
of $4.2 million or 12.6%. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and employee
benefits costs of $3.9 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs,
commissions, and stock option expense, including the IPO grant. Salaries and employee
benefits costs reflect no ESOP allocation expense
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009. Other increases were costs attributable to recent acquisitions of $0.3
million and other general expenses of $0.6 million. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in legal costs of $0.6 million.
Depreciation and Amortization of Fixed Assets
Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets was $9.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$0.7 million or 8.0%. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets includes depreciation of
furniture and equipment, software, computer hardware, and related equipment. The majority of the
increase relates to software and hardware costs to support data capacity expansion and revenue
growth.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010
compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an decrease of $1.2 million
or 14.2%. The decrease was primarily related to intangible assets associated with acquisitions that
have been fully amortized in prior quarters.
26
Investment Income and Realized Gains/(Losses) on Securities, Net
Investment income and realized losses on securities, net was a gain of $0.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a loss of ($0.4) million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, an increase of $0.5 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $8.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a increase of $0.3 million or 3.8%. This
increase is primarily due to the amortization of debt issuance costs during the three months
ended March 31, 2010.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010
compared to $33.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $8.8 million
or 26.0%. The effective tax rate was 43.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to
42.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The effective rate for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 was higher due to a non-cash tax charge of $2.4 million resulting from
reduced tax benefits of Medicare subsidies associated with legislative changes in the current
period. Excluding this charge, the effective rate for the current period would have been 41.1%.
This rate is lower than the prior period due to lower nondeductible ESOP expenses in 2010.
EBITDA Margin
The EBITDA margin for our consolidated results was 44.8% for the three months ended March 31,
2010 compared to 42.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our EBITDA margin reflects no
ESOP allocation expense in 2010 due to the accelerated ESOP allocation prior to our initial public
offering in the fourth quarter of 2009. This resulted in an increase of our EBITDA margin for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, due to the reduction of ESOP allocation expense of $2.6 million,
resulting in a 0.9% positive impact on our EBITDA margin.

Revenues
Revenues were $134.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $129.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $5.0 million or 3.9%. The
increase within our industry-standard insurance programs primarily resulted from an increase in
prices derived from continued enhancements to the content of our solutions and the addition of new
customers.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for our Risk Assessment segment was $49.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $51.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
a decrease of
$1.6 million or 3.1%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee
benefits costs of $2.0 million, which was primarily due to no ESOP allocation expense in 2010
as compared to $1.2 million in 2009. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in data and
consultant costs of $0.1 million and in other operating expenses of $0.3 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for our Risk Assessment segment were $19.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $17.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $1.7 million or 9.8%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in salaries and employee benefit costs of $1.5 million, which include annual salary
increases, medical costs, commissions, and stock option expense,
including the IPO grant. Salaries and employee benefits costs reflect no ESOP allocation expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. There
was also an increase in legal costs of $0.2 million.
27
EBITDA Margin
The EBITDA margin for our Risk Assessment segment was 48.7% for the three months ended March
31, 2010 compared to 46.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The primary reason for the
increase of our EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is the reduction of ESOP
allocation expense of $1.5 million, resulting in a 1.1% positive impact on our EBITDA margin.
Decision Analytics Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues for our Decision Analytics segment were $141.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $116.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase
of $25.4 million or 21.9%. In the first quarter of 2010 and the latter half of 2009, we acquired
three companies. Recent acquisitions accounted for an increase of $1.4 million in revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, revenue increased
$24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our fraud identification and detection
solutions revenue increased $14.6 million primarily in our fraud detection and forensic audit
services for the home mortgage and mortgage insurance industries, as well as an increase in
services sold in response to the increased scrutiny and refinancing within the mortgage industry.
Increased revenue in our loss prediction solutions of $4.9 million primarily from increased penetration of our existing customers. Our loss quantification solution
revenues increased $4.5 million as a result of new customer contracts and volume increases
associated with severe weather conditions and other damages caused by disasters experienced in the
United States.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for our Decision Analytics segment was $65.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 compared to $56.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an
increase of $9.1 million or 16.2%. The increase included $1.3 million in costs attributable to
recent acquisitions. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, the cost of revenues increased
$7.8 million, primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $3.9 million,
which include annual salary increases and increased medical costs. Salaries and employee
benefits costs reflect no ESOP allocation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as
compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Other increases include data
and consultant costs of $3.5 million, office maintenance fees of $0.3 million, and an increase in
other operating expenses of $0.1 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $18.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$2.5 million or 15.6%. The increase was due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs
of $2.4 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, commissions, and stock
option expense, including the IPO grant. Salaries and employee
benefits costs reflect no
ESOP allocation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009. Other increases include an increase in general expenses of
$0.6 million and costs attributable to recent acquisitions of $0.3 million. These increases are
partially offset by a decrease in legal expense of $0.8 million.
EBITDA Margin
The EBITDA margin for our Decision Analytics segment was 41.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to 38.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Included within the
increase of our EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is the reduction of ESOP
allocation expense of $1.1 million, resulting in a 0.8% positive impact on our EBITDA margin.
28
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents and
available-for sale securities of $136.5 million and $77.0 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 subscription period, which is usually for one year, and they 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 committed credit facilities, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our
working capital and capital expenditure needs, including acquisition contingent payments.
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 (fees received in advance). 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.
Our capital expenditures, which include non-cash purchases of fixed assets, as a percentage
of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were 3.2% and 4.7%, respectively.
Expenditures related to developing and
enhancing our solutions are predominately related to internal use software and are capitalized in
accordance with the accounting guidance for costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use. The amounts capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance for software to
be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are not significant to the financial statements.
To provide liquidity to our stockholders, we historically used our cash for
repurchases of our common stock from our stockholders. During the three months ended March 31,
2010, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. During the three months ended March
31, 2009, we redeemed $25.9 million of our common stock. A substantial portion of the share
redemptions included in the totals above were completed pursuant to the terms of the Insurance
Service Office, Inc. 1996 Incentive Plan, or the Option Plan. The obligation to redeem shares
issued under the Option Plan terminated upon completion of our initial public offering. Therefore,
we do not expect to continue our historical practice of using cash for common stock repurchases to
provide liquidity to our Option Plan stockholders. On April 29, 2010,
our board of directors authorized a $150.0 million stock repurchase
program. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
We provide pension and postretirement benefits to certain qualifying active employees and
retirees. Based on the pension funding policy, we contributed $4.2 million to the pension plan in
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and expect to contribute approximately $16.8 million to the
pension plan in remaining periods of 2010. Under the postretirement plan, we provide certain
healthcare and life insurance benefits to qualifying participants; however, participants are
required to pay a stated percentage of the premium coverage. We contributed approximately $0.8
million to the postretirement plan in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and expect to
contribute approximately $4.2 million in the remaining periods of 2010. See Note 12 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Financing and Financing Capacity
We had total debt, excluding capital lease and other obligations, of $525.0 million and
$585.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The debt at March 31, 2010
was held under long-term loan facilities drawn to finance our stock repurchases and acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2010, all of our long-term loan facilities are uncommitted facilities and our
syndicated revolving credit facility is a committed facility. We have financed and expect to
finance our short-term working capital needs and acquisition contingent payments through cash from
operations and borrowings from a combination of our long-term shelf facilities and our syndicated
revolving credit facility, which is made at variable rates of interest based on LIBOR plus 2.50%.
We had no borrowings from our syndicated revolving credit facility outstanding as of March 31,
2010 and $60.0 million as of December 31, 2009. We had available capacity of $418.5 million in
our syndicated revolving credit facility at March 31, 2010.
We have long-term loan facilities under uncommitted master shelf agreements with New York
Life and Aviva Investors North America, or Aviva, with available capacity at March 31, 2010 in the
amount of $30.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. We can borrow under the New York Life
facility until March 16, 2013, and under the Aviva facility until December 10, 2011. Our long-term
uncommitted master shelf facility with Prudential Capital Group, or Prudential, expired on
February 28, 2010. This facility contained additional available capacity of $115.0 million. We
expect to extend the facility with Prudential during the second quarter of 2010.
29
Notes outstanding under these facilities mature over the next seven years. Individual
borrowings are made at a fixed rate of interest and interest is payable quarterly. The weighted
average rate of interest with respect to our outstanding long-term
borrowings was 6.15% and 5.76%
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The uncommitted master shelf
agreements contain certain covenants that limit our ability to create liens, enter into sale and
leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell assets to another company. The uncommitted
master shelf agreements also contain financial covenants that require us to maintain a fixed
charge coverage of no less than 275% and a leverage ratio of no more than 300%. We were in
compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2010, due to our low leverage and strong
operating performance, and we have additional liquidity under our debt covenants.
On
July 2, 2009, we entered into a $300.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility with
Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. that matures on July 2, 2012. On August 21, 2009, PNC Bank, N.A., Sovereign Bank, RBS
Citizens, N.A., and SunTrust Bank joined the syndicated revolving credit facility increasing the
availability to $420.0 million. This facility is committed with a one time fee of approximately
$4.5 million and ongoing unused facility fees of 0.375%. Interest is payable at maturity at a
rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. The credit facility contains certain customary
financial and other covenants that, among other things, impose certain restrictions on
indebtedness, liens, investments, and capital expenditures. These covenants also place
restrictions on mergers, asset sales, sale and leaseback transactions, payments between
us and our subsidiaries, and certain transactions with affiliates. The financial covenants require
that, at the end of any fiscal quarter, we have a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least
3.0 to 1.0 and that during any period of four fiscal quarters we maintain a consolidated funded
debt leverage ratio of below 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March
31, 2010, due to our low leverage and strong operating performance, and we have additional
liquidity under our debt covenants.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $137.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 from $135.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in
net cash provided by operating activities was principally due to an increase in cash receipts of
approximately $15.3 million, a decrease in tax payments of $5.4 million and a decrease in interest
related payments of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was
partially offset by an increase in operating expense payments of $19.0 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The timing of
certain items, such as increases in annual bonus payments, phantom ESOP plan payments and other
operating related payments, mitigated growth in our operating cash flow during the first quarter of
2010.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 compared to $66.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net cash
used in investing activities was principally due to a decrease in acquisition and escrow related
payments of $51.1 million, primarily related to the acquisition of D2 in the first quarter of
2009, and a decrease in purchases of fixed assets of $0.9 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $62.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and $56.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net cash used in financing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included a decrease in total debt of $62.9
million, partially offset by excess tax benefits from exercised stock options of $0.1 million. Net
cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included redemptions
of common stock of $25.9 million and a decrease in total debt of $30.7 million, partially offset
by excess tax benefits from exercised stock options of $0.2 million and proceeds from stock option
exercises of $0.2 million.
30
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course
of our business from those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2010.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our managements 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 United States. 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. These
estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates,
including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, pension and other
post retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. 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 Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K dated
and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2010. Since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K, there have been no material
changes to our critical accounting estimates except as noted below.
As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the tax treatment of federal subsidies paid to sponsors of
retiree health benefit plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially
equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare Part D was effectively changed.
This legislative change reduces future tax benefits of the coverage we provided to participants in
the Postretirement Plan. We are required to account for this
change in the period during which the law is enacted. As a result, we recorded a
non-cash tax charge to the provision for income taxes of $2.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
Item 3.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market
risks at March 31, 2010 have not materially changed from those discussed under Item 7A in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 when we file
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based upon the foregoing assessments, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three month period ending March 31, 2010, there has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to legal proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the ordinary course
of business, including those matters described below. We are unable, at the present time, to
determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible
loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because many of these cases remain in their
early stages and only limited discovery has taken place. Although we believe we have strong
defenses for the litigation proceedings described below, we could in the future incur judgments or
enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
See
Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 2010 for a description of our significant current legal proceedings, which is incorporated by
reference herein.
