Second-Quarter 2010 Financial Highlights

See Tables 4 and 5 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the relevant GAAP measures.

  • Diluted GAAP earnings per share ("diluted GAAP EPS") were $0.31 for second-quarter 2010, and diluted adjusted earnings per share ("diluted adjusted EPS") were $0.33, an increase of 10.0% versus the same period in 2009.
  • Total revenues increased 9.2% for second-quarter 2010 and 10.8% year-to-date, driven by 18.3% growth in Decision Analytics revenues in the second quarter and 20.0% growth year-to-date. Risk Assessment revenues grew 0.7% for the quarter and 2.3% year-to-date. Adjusting for revenue recognized in second-quarter 2009 after previous deferral, Risk Assessment grew 2.4% in the second quarter and total revenues grew 10.1% for the second quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.0% to $124.0 million for second-quarter 2010, and adjusted net income increased 14.5% to $62.5 million. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, was $58.4 million.

Frank J. Coyne, chairman, president, and CEO, said, "We continue to be pleased with the performance of our company and believe we are positioned for long-term profitable growth. Our 2010 performance advances our track record of growth, further building upon 2009, when we increased our revenues by double digits. Our customers continue to recognize the strong value of our solutions, as evidenced by 20% revenue growth in our Decision Analytics segment year-to-date. Within Decision Analytics, in addition to the growth in our mortgage and healthcare solutions, we grew our insurance-facing solutions more than 12% in the second quarter."

"The insurance market remains an area of opportunity for us as we help our customers manage risk and improve the efficiencies of their businesses, which is particularly important in today's market. We are continually developing new solutions for our clients. For example, we have launched QuickFill®, which delivers any combination of Verisk's dozens of automobile and/or property databases to insurance carriers at the point of quote. Another example is our integration of the advanced weather and climate risk analytics of AER into our insurance solutions, further differentiating our offerings," continued Coyne.

"In other verticals, our mortgage solutions continue to grow revenue by double digits throughout the ups and downs of the origination cycle and we are confident about the promise of our healthcare solutions," Coyne added.

Adjusting for revenue recognized in second-quarter 2009 after previous deferral, revenue growth would have been 10.1% for the second quarter and 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Within the Decision Analytics segment, revenues grew 18.3% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, and 16.3% excluding recent acquisitions. During the quarter, revenue growth was led by a 29.0% increase in the company's loss quantification solutions revenues, driven by new customer contracts and related transaction increases associated with claim events in the United States.

Fraud identification and detection solutions continued to be a strong contributor, with increased revenues of 18.9% in the second quarter led by continued growth in mortgage fraud analytics on both the front-end origination and the back-end review.

Loss prediction solutions revenues increased 10.7% for the quarter as the company experienced continued growth in its insurance and healthcare vertical markets.

Total Risk Assessment  $ 134,289  $ 133,307 0.7%  $ 268,867  $ 262,873 2.3%

Within the Risk Assessment segment, revenues grew 0.7% in the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Adjusting for revenue recognized in second-quarter 2009 after previous deferral, Risk Assessment revenue growth would have been 2.4% for the second quarter and 3.1% year-to-date. Industry standard insurance programs would have grown 2.6% in the quarter and 3.0% year-to-date, adjusting for the previous deferral. Property-specific rating and underwriting information grew at a slower pace in second-quarter 2010 because of lower sales in certain small products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased 1.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and 0.4% excluding the impact of recent acquisitions. Excluding the impact of the reduced ESOP expenses, cost of revenues increased 3.9%, due in most part to annual increases in salary and benefits, partially offset by the reduction in pension costs. The cost of revenues for Risk Assessment, excluding the impact of reduced ESOP expenses, declined modestly because of lower pension and staff-related expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative

In second-quarter 2010, selling, general and administrative expense grew 9.6% and, excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, 7.9%. The increase was largely related to annual increases in salary as well as to equity compensation costs related to periodic expense of IPO and annual option grants.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA grew 17.0% and 13.0%, respectively, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 44.0% for second-quarter 2010, an increase from 42.6% in the same period in 2009. The improved margin reflects decreased salary and benefits as a percentage of revenue versus 2009, which includes a reduction in pension costs and impact of operating leverage. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA grew 13.9%.

Adjusted segment EBITDA grew 22.9% for Decision Analytics and 5.5% for Risk Assessment for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, as shown in Table 3B. In second-quarter 2010, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins were 49.3% for Risk Assessment and 39.2% for Decision Analytics. Expansion of margins versus the same quarter in 2009 was driven by operating leverage as revenue grew, while the slight decline in margin versus first-quarter 2010 was due to annual salary and equity compensation increases, which occurred in the second quarter.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by operating activities was $173.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $11.5 million compared with the first six months of 2009. Improved business profitability of $35.4 million was offset by an increase of $35.8 million in the change in working capital primarily related to accelerated timing of certain customer payments received in fourth-quarter 2009 for 2010 invoices, while they were received in the first and second quarters in 2009 for 2009 invoices, as well as an increase in salary and employee-related payments of approximately $11.0 million due to an additional pay cycle that occurred in June 2010 versus July 2009. Taxes reflected in operating activities also increased by $12.4 million, of which $3.0 million was increased tax payments and the remainder related to treatment of the cash tax benefit of increased option exercises in the period.

Capital expenditures were $16.8 million in the first six months of 2010, a decrease of $1.9 million from the first-half of 2009. Capital expenditures were 3.0% of revenue in the first six months of 2010. Verisk expects capital expenditures to be approximately $43 million for full-year 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures represented 63.1% of EBITDA during the first six months of 2010, reflecting the company's strong cash flow conversion.

Share Repurchase

Verisk announced on May 6, 2010, that its Board of Directors approved a $150.0 million share repurchase program, the purpose of which is to limit dilution from options and benefit programs. In the second quarter, Verisk repurchased 2,676,149 shares at an average of $29.88 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $80 million, including repurchases related to certain employee option exercises. Remaining authorization under the program as of June 30, 2010, was approximately $85.1 million.

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, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS, 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 and for budgeting and planning purposes.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA based on our historical results:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. The company defines "EBITDA" as net income before investment income, realized (gains)/losses on securities, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA before ESOP allocation expense, IPO-related costs, and other nonrecurring items.

Although EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our statement of cash flow reported under GAAP. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are as follows:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, our working capital needs.
  • Although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
