(1) $1.38, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated by adding back the impact of the non-cash income tax revaluation charge to our adjusted net income and diluted adjusted EPS definitions. We believe this calculation is useful to investors and management uses it as it allows for greater transparency on assessing the impact of the U.K. tax law change on our diluted adjusted EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The non-cash revaluation charge of $34.0 million resulted in a $0.21 per diluted share impact on our diluted adjusted EPS.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues increased 10.1%, and 6.3% on an OCC basis, for second-quarter 2021. In late March 2020, we analyzed our solutions and services to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our revenue streams. We did not identify any material impact stemming from COVID-19 on approximately 85% of our revenues as much of these revenues are subscription-based and subject to long-term contracts. These revenues increased 5.5% on an OCC basis in the second quarter of 2021. Of the remaining 15%, we have identified specific solutions and services, largely transactional in nature, that have been impacted by COVID-19. These revenues increased 12.1% on an OCC basis in second-quarter 2021 as compared to COVID impacted declines from the prior-year period.

Insurance segment revenues grew 11.8% in the second quarter and 7.8% on an OCC basis.

•

Underwriting and rating revenues increased 11.2% in the quarter and 7.6% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from annual increases in prices derived from continued enhancements to the content of the solutions within our industry-standard insurance programs, as well as selling expanded solutions to existing customers in commercial and personal lines. In addition, catastrophe modeling services and our international software solutions contributed to the growth.

•

Claims revenues grew 13.2% in the quarter and 8.4% on an OCC basis. Growth was primarily driven by our repair cost estimating solutions revenue and our claims analytics revenue.

Energy and Specialized Markets segment revenue increased 9.2% in the quarter and 5.0% on an OCC basis. Growth was primarily driven by consulting and environmental health and safety service revenues.

Financial Services segment revenue decreased 7.4% in the quarter and 8.1% on an OCC basis, primarily due to certain contract transitions, projects that did not reoccur, and lower bankruptcy volumes. These declines more than offset solid growth in spend informed analytics revenues.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA

During second-quarter 2021, net income attributable to Verisk declined 14.0%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.5%, and 4.2% on an OCC basis.

Taxes

During the second quarter of 2021, our effective tax rate was 35.6% as compared to 20.4% in the year prior. This increase was the result of an earlier than expected enactment of the U.K. tax law change that caused a non-cash revaluation charge. We now expect our tax rate to approximate 20-22% for the second half of 2021.

Earnings Per Share and Diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk decreased 13.0% to $0.94 for the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to a higher effective tax rate.

Diluted adjusted EPS decreased 9.3% to $1.17 for the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to a higher effective tax rate. Adjusting for a $0.21 per share impact from adding back a non-cash revaluation charge related to the U.K. tax law change, diluted adjusted EPS would increase 7.0% to $1.38. These growth rates reflect organic growth in the business, contributions from acquisitions, and lower average share count.

Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $233.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, down 6.5%. Capital expenditures were $62.5 million for the second quarter, up 10.2%. Free cash flow was $170.7 million, down 11.5% primarily due to the prior year deferral of federal income taxes and certain employer payroll taxes resulting from the CARES Act that were partially offset by earnout payments made in the second quarter of 2020. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See 'Non-GAAP reconciliations' below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

Free cash flow represented 46.0% of adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter, compared with 55.4% in the prior-year period.

Dividend

On June 30, 2021, we paid a cash dividend of 29 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of June 15, 2021.

On July 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 29 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding, payable on September 30, 2021, to holders of record as of September 15, 2021.

Share Repurchases

Including the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) settled in the second quarter of 2021, we repurchased approximately 834 thousand shares at an average price of $179.85, for a total cost of $150.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. On June 30, 2021, we had $328.8 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. This includes, but is not limited to, our expectation and ability to pay a cash dividend on our common stock in the future, subject to the determination by our Board of Directors and based on an evaluation of our earnings, financial condition and requirements, business conditions, capital allocation determinations, and other factors, risks, and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as 'may,' 'could,' 'expect,' 'intend,' 'plan,' 'target,' 'seek,' 'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'estimate,' 'predict,' 'potential,' or 'continue' or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Other factors that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements can be found in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement in this release reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy, and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information regarding our 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. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our management uses these measures for reviewing our financial results, for budgeting and planning purposes, and for evaluating the performance of senior management.

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

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

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

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

See page 11 for a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA margin, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA expenses, and a reconciliation of diluted adjusted EPS.
