| Jul 29, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Verisk reported a 4.1% increase in revenue for the first half of 2026, reaching $1.59 billion, driven by strong performance in its insurance-focused analytics solutions. Underwriting revenue grew 5.9% (excluding recent M&A activity), bolstered by pricing increases in forms, rules, and loss cost services, alongside expanded sales in catastrophe and risk solutions. Claims revenue rose 5.3%, supported by demand for anti-fraud analytics and property restoration tools. Despite revenue growth, the company’s EBITDA margin compressed to 54.9% from 56.5% in the prior-year period, primarily due to elevated legal fees associated with the AccuLynx transaction. Net income also declined by 4.7% to $462.8 million, pressured by higher interest expenses from the issuance of 2031 and 2036 Senior Notes and an increased effective tax rate. Verisk maintains a robust liquidity position, supported by a business model that relies heavily on prepaid annual subscriptions, which provides a reliable source of operating cash flow. The company remains active in capital allocation, having repurchased $1.83 billion in common stock during the first half of 2026. Management continues to utilize its $1.25 billion Syndicated Revolving Credit Facility and a $500 million Term Loan Facility to fund these repurchases and general corporate requirements. |
| Apr 29, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Verisk provides predictive analytics and decision support for the insurance market, focusing on rating, underwriting, claims, and catastrophe risk. For the first quarter of 2026, total revenues increased 3.9% to $782.6 million, with organic growth of 5.5% excluding the impact of the Verisk Marketing Solutions disposition and the acquisitions of Simplitium and SuranceBay. Growth was primarily driven by annual price increases in forms, rules, loss cost services, and anti-fraud analytics, alongside expanded sales in casualty, specialty, and life solutions. EBITDA grew 4.8% to $436.0 million, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 55.7% due to cost discipline and operating scalability. However, the net income margin declined slightly to 29.9% due to a higher effective tax rate and increased interest expenses following the issuance of 2031 and 2036 Senior Notes. The company aggressively pursued shareholder returns, repurchasing $1.6 billion in common stock, which reduced cash and available-for-sale securities to $525.2 million. To support these activities and general corporate purposes, Verisk utilized its $1.25 billion syndicated revolving credit facility and a new $500 million term loan facility. |
