Frank J. Coyne, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "Verisk continued to deliver solid revenue, EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share growth in the quarter despite the uncertainty in the broader economic environment. We are seeing increasing contributions to growth from our acquisition activity and continue to position ourselves to perform strongly both through today's difficult economic times as well as when the economy improves.
"Our insurance-facing solutions in Decision Analytics accelerated growth to more than 15%, supporting our thesis of the sizable opportunity available as we expand our solution penetration with customers. Risk Assessment continues to be a steady contributor, and the increasingly positive tone in the insurance market is heartening.
"While the macroeconomic conditions in the mortgage market continue to be volatile, we are working hard to maximize current opportunities and position our business for the future.
"We are seeing customer traction in our healthcare businesses as we implement customers and advance an integrated go-to-market strategy under the Verisk Health brand. With two acquisitions in this vertical this year, we are well positioned to deliver a robust suite of solutions to our customers," concluded Coyne.

Fraud identification and detection solutions | $ 94,663 | $ 81,584 | 16.0% | $ 274,317 | $ 239,574 | 14.5% |

Total Decision Analytics | $ 200,121 | $ 151,085 | 32.5% | $ 559,197 | $ 440,049 | 27.1% |
Within the Decision Analytics segment, revenue grew 32.5% for third-quarter 2011, and organic growth was 11.9%. Growth in the quarter was driven by the continued strength of loss quantification solutions, while loss prediction solutions also contributed to growth. Fraud identification and detection solutions were impacted by the continued challenges in the mortgage market.
Fraud identification and detection solutions revenue growth was 16.0% in third-quarter 2011, and organic growth was 4.0%. Insurance fraud solutions continued solid performance, and healthcare fraud solutions accelerated growth in the quarter as customer contracts were implemented. This revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in mortgage fraud solutions revenue on both the underwriting and forensic solutions. New sales were not sufficient to offset the challenged mortgage environment. Crowe Paradis, acquired in December 2010, and Bloodhound, acquired during second-quarter 2011, contributed to revenue growth for fraud identification and detection in the quarter.
Loss prediction solutions revenue grew 69.9% for third-quarter 2011 and 14.2% organically. The organic growth within this revenue category in the third quarter was primarily due to performance of the company's core catastrophe modeling services along with growth in our healthcare solutions. 3E, acquired in December 2010, and HRP, acquired in second-quarter 2011, also contributed to revenue growth in the quarter.
Loss quantification solutions revenue continued strong organic performance. Revenue growth was 29.8% for third-quarter 2011 as a result of new customer contracts, recognition of major contracts won in 2010, new solutions, and higher assignment volumes related to storm activity, including Hurricane Irene, among others.

Total Risk Assessment | $ 139,977 | $ 136,269 | 2.7% | $ 421,050 | $ 405,136 | 3.9% |
Within the Risk Assessment segment, revenue grew 2.7% for the quarter. The overall increase within the segment was due primarily to 4.8% revenue growth in industry-standard insurance programs resulting from growth in 2011 invoices effective from January 1.
Property-specific rating and underwriting information revenue declined 4.1% for third-quarter 2011, as lower volumes from certain customers continued to impact results. Statistical agency and data services grew 5.0% in the third quarter because of increases in 2011 invoices and increased customer services. Actuarial services were up 8.6% in the quarter because of special projects.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased 17.6% in third-quarter 2011 and 5.1% excluding acquisitions. The increase relates primarily to the impact of annual compensation increases and increased headcount related to the growth of our business. Excluding recent acquisitions, cost of revenue decreased 0.6% for Risk Assessment and increased 9.5% for Decision Analytics in the third quarter.
Selling, General, and Administrative
Selling, general, and administrative expense, or SG&A, increased 25.6% in third-quarter 2011 and 6.7% excluding recent acquisitions. SG&A declined 1.4% for Risk Assessment. SG&A grew 52.2% for Decision Analytics and 15.0% excluding recent acquisitions.
EBITDA
For third-quarter 2011, consolidated EBITDA grew 16.2% to $151.0 million, with a consolidated EBITDA margin of 44.4%. The recent acquisitions impacted margins negatively by 1.6%.

Risk Assessment segment EBITDA grew 6.5% and Decision Analytics segment EBITDA grew 26.4% in third-quarter 2011 versus the previous year, as shown in Table 3.
The third-quarter 2011 EBITDA margin in Risk Assessment increased to 50.5% from 48.7% in third-quarter 2010, as annual salary increases were offset by lower data and other costs. The third-quarter 2011 EBITDA margin for Decision Analytics declined to 40.1% from 42.0% in third-quarter 2010. The Decision Analytics margin was impacted negatively by 2.2% in the quarter by the recent acquisitions of Crowe Paradis, 3E, Bloodhound, and HRP, which grew EBITDA but reduced margin.
Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Net income increased 12.9% in third-quarter 2011, driven by growth in the business, which was partially offset by increased borrowing costs associated with higher debt levels due to acquisitions and share buybacks. Adjusted net income grew 14.7% for third-quarter 2011. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS based on historical results:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Capital Expenditures
Net cash provided by operating activities was $323.8 million and increased $81.9 million, or 33.9%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010. This growth was the result of a $44.8 million increase caused by the improved profitability of the business, a $12.8 million decrease in working capital, and a decrease in taxes paid of $23.8 million, net of option benefits, due to the deferral of third-quarter tax payments resulting from the temporary federal tax relief program related to Hurricane Irene. This was partially offset by an $11.9 million decrease in other liabilities principally relating to current year pension funding.
Capital expenditures were $48.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 — an increase of $24.0 million over the same period in 2010 due to periodic upgrades to our central technology platforms and related long-term leased software as previously discussed in the second quarter. Capital expenditures were 4.9% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures represented approximately 64% of EBITDA in the first nine months of 2011.
Share Repurchases and Revolving Credit Facility
The company continued to balance its internal investment and acquisition initiatives with share repurchases. In third-quarter 2011, the company repurchased shares for a total cost of $123.1 million at an average price of $33.09. At September 30, 2011, the company had $47.4 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.
On October 25, 2011, the company amended its existing revolving credit facility to increase the total amount to $700.0 million, extend the maturity to October 2016, and decrease the applicable interest rates. The facility is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of September 30, 2011, the facility had $160.0 million drawn.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information regarding its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as 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.

EBITDA is a financial measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. The company defines "EBITDA" as net income before investment and other income, realized (gain)/loss on securities, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. Beginning in 2011, our EBITDA includes acquisition-related liabilities adjustment for all periods.
Although EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders, and others 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 statement of cash flow reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses EBITDA in conjunction with traditional U.S. GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are as follows:
- 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 noncash 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.
- Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of their calculations as comparative measures.
