Verisk Analytics, Inc., Reports Second-Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Delivers 16.2% Revenue Growth and 24.2% Diluted Adjusted EPS Growth

JERSEY CITY, N.J., August 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verisk Analytics, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading source of information about risk, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011:

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 $0.38 for second-quarter 2011. Diluted adjusted earnings per share (diluted adjusted EPS) were $0.41 for second-quarter 2011, an increase of 24.2% versus the same period in 2010.

•

Total revenue increased 16.2% for second-quarter 2011. Revenue growth in the second quarter was driven by a 26.7% increase in Decision Analytics revenue with additional contribution from the 4.6% growth in Risk Assessment revenue. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, total revenue grew 8.8% for second-quarter 2011.

•

EBITDA increased 15.7% to $143.6 million for second-quarter 2011, including the benefit of an acquisition related liability adjustment of $3.4 million. EBITDA margin was 43.9% for second-quarter 2011.

•

Net income was $65.6 million for second-quarter 2011 and adjusted net income was $70.9 million, increasing 12.3% and 13.4%, respectively, versus the comparable period in 2010.

•

In second-quarter 2011, the company repurchased a total of $143.6 million of its common stock under its existing repurchase program. On July 18, the company announced an increase of $150 million to its share repurchase authorization.

•

The company completed two acquisitions in the quarter to enhance its analytical solutions for the healthcare vertical. On April 27, Verisk acquired Bloodhound Technologies, a premier provider of real-time pre-adjudication claims editing for healthcare payers, for approximately $82 million and on June 17, acquired Health Risk Partners (HRP), a provider of solutions to optimize revenue, ensure compliance and improve quality of care, for approximately $60 million.

Frank J. Coyne, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “We are pleased to see both solid growth in the quarter and the meaningful contributions of our acquisition activity. Our insurance-facing solutions in Decision Analytics continue to grow organically at a double-digit rate, supporting our thesis of the sizeable opportunity available through cross-selling. Risk Assessment continues to be a steady contributor, and we see opportunity for it to accelerate over the longer term as aggregate premiums in the property/casualty insurance market continue to improve.

“We improved performance for our mortgage solutions despite the challenging market conditions. For the quarter, we grew revenue for these solutions in the high-single digits. We continue to be as nimble as possible in responding to the uncertain environment for our underwriting and forensic audit customers.

“Healthcare continues to be an area of focus for us because of our capabilities and the sizeable market opportunity we see. The addition of Bloodhound and Health Risk Partners to our solution set gives us additional offerings —with strong ROI potential— for both existing and new customers.

“We are pleased to be able to identify strategic acquisition opportunities while also buying our shares at attractive prices, enhancing returns to shareholders. Our incremental share repurchase authorization announced in July provides us with the flexibility to continue to be opportunistic in our deployment of capital for optimal return,” concluded Coyne.

Revenue

Revenue grew 16.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and excluding the impact of recent acquisitions (Crowe Paradis, 3E, Bloodhound, and Health Risk Partners), grew 8.8%. Overall revenue growth was the result of continued double-digit growth in Decision Analytics and solid growth in Risk Assessment. For second-quarter 2011, Decision Analytics revenue represented approximately 57% of total revenue.

	Three Months Ended							Year-to-Date
	June 30,				Change			June 30,				Change
	2011		2010		%			2011		2010		%

Decision Analytics revenue by category:
Fraud identification and detection solutions	$	93,068	$	79,195		17.5	%	$	179,654	$	157,990		13.7	%
Loss prediction solutions		55,405		39,779		39.3	%		108,346		76,707		41.2	%
Loss quantification solutions		38,277		28,414		34.7	%		71,076		54,267		31.0	%

Total Decision Analytics	$	186,750	$	147,388		26.7	%	$	359,076	$	288,964		24.3	%

Within the Decision Analytics segment, revenue grew 26.7% for second-quarter 2011 and organic growth was 12.5%. Growth in the quarter was driven by the continued strength of loss quantification solutions, which benefited from previously signed contracts and new solutions, as well as an active storm season. Good performance of loss prediction solutions, as well as improved growth in fraud identification and detection solutions caused by a rebound in mortgage-related revenue, also contributed to the quarterly growth.

Fraud identification and detection solutions revenue growth was 17.5% in second-quarter 2011 and 7.0% organic. Insurance fraud solutions continued with solid performance and mortgage fraud solutions grew versus 2010. In mortgage, growth in forensic audit solutions revenue was partially offset by lower revenues for underwriting solutions. Crowe Paradis, which was 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 39.3% for second-quarter 2011 and 7.7% organically. The organic growth within this revenue category in the second quarter was primarily due to continued growth from weather and climate risk analytics and good performance of the company’s core catastrophe modeling services along with growth in our healthcare solutions. 3E, acquired in December 2010, contributed to revenue growth in the quarter.

Loss quantification solutions revenue continued strong organic performance with growth of 34.7% for second-quarter 2011 as a result of new customer contracts, recognition of major contracts won in 2010, new solutions, and an active storm season in the United States.

	June 30,				Change			June 30,				Change
	2011		2010		%			2011		2010		%

Risk Assessment revenue by category:
Industry-standard insurance programs	$	92,389	$	87,427		5.7	%	$	185,246	$	175,471		5.6	%
Property-specific rating and underwriting information		35,017		34,267		2.2	%		69,514		68,226		1.9	%
Statistical agency and data services		7,633		7,190		6.2	%		15,375		14,369		7.0	%
Actuarial services		5,491		5,405		1.6	%		10,938		10,801		1.3	%

Total Risk Assessment	$	140,530	$	134,289		4.6	%	$	281,073	$	268,867		4.5	%

Within the Risk Assessment segment, revenue grew 4.6% for the quarter. The overall increase within the segment resulted primarily from a 5.7% revenue growth in industry-standard insurance programs resulting from continued enhancements of the offerings and moderation in customers’ premium declines, both of which were reflected in the 2011 invoices, as well as increased penetration with existing customers.

Property-specific rating and underwriting information revenue grew 2.2% for second-quarter 2011, as lower volumes from certain customers were offset by new product sales and continued rollout of a government contract. Statistical agency and data services grew 6.2% in the second quarter because of increases in 2011 invoices and increased customer services. Actuarial services were up 1.6% in the quarter.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased 14.1% in second-quarter 2011 and 6.7% excluding acquisitions. The increase relates primarily to the impact of annual compensation increases as well as increased headcount related to the growth of our business. Excluding recent acquisitions, cost of revenue increased 0.8% for Risk Assessment and increased 11.0% for Decision Analytics in the second quarter.

Selling, General, and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expense, or SG&A, increased 31.1% in second-quarter 2011 and 10.5% excluding recent acquisitions. SG&A grew 20.1% for Risk Assessment, primarily related to annual compensation increases and accelerated expense recognition of options granted to employees who have reached age 62. SG&A grew 40.4% for Decision Analytics, and 2.4% excluding recent acquisitions as annual compensation increases and additions to personnel were offset in part by administrative efficiencies.

EBITDA

For second-quarter 2011, consolidated EBITDA grew 15.7% to $143.6 million, including a $3.4 million benefit due to the reversal of earn out liability related to certain acquisitions. In second quarter, the company determined those acquisitions would not likely achieve their 2011 targets set at the time of acquisition for exceptional performance and the sellers would therefore not be eligible to receive earn out payments. The consolidated EBITDA margin was 43.9%. The slight decline in margin versus second-quarter 2010 was primarily due to the impact of recent acquisitions, which reduced margins by 1.8% versus 2010, as well as accelerated option vesting.

EBITDA margin		48.5	%		49.3	%					50.6	%		49.0	%

EBITDA margin		43.9	%		44.0	%					44.1	%		44.4	%

Risk Assessment segment EBITDA grew 2.9% and Decision Analytics segment EBITDA grew 30.4% in second-quarter 2011 versus the previous year, as shown in Table 3. EBITDA margins were 48.5% and 40.4% in second-quarter 2011 for Risk Assessment and Decision Analytics, respectively. Annual salary and equity compensation increases for all businesses occur annually in April and increased operating expenses beginning in the second quarter.

The second-quarter margin in Risk Assessment declined to 48.5% from 49.3% in second-quarter 2010 as operating leverage was offset by annual salary increases and accelerated option expense related to the attainment of age 62 by certain employees. The second-quarter 2011 EBITDA margin for Decision Analytics grew to 40.4% from 39.2% in second-quarter 2010. The Decision Analytics margin was impacted negatively by 2.8% 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 12.3% in second-quarter 2011 driven by growth in the business. Adjusted net income grew 13.4% for the second quarter. 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 $187.1 million and increased $14.1 million, or 8.1%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010. This growth was primarily the result of a $28.6 million increase caused by the improved profitability of the business, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in working capital and $12.8 million of increased taxes, net of option benefits.

Capital expenditures were $34.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $17.5 million over the same period in 2010, because of the periodic upgrades to our central technology platforms and related long-term leased software. Capital expenditures were 5.4% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures represented approximately 54% of EBITDA in first half of 2011.

Share Repurchases and Debt Issuance

The company continued to balance its internal investment and acquisition initiatives with share repurchases. In second-quarter 2011, the company repurchased shares for a total cost of $143.6 million at an average price of $33.74. At June 30, 2011, the company had $170.4 million remaining of its share repurchase authorization, including the pro forma impact of the incremental authorization of $150 million announced on July 18, 2011.

On April 6, 2011, Verisk issued $450 million in 5.8% Senior Notes due May 2021. The issuance was part of the strategic capital structure plan and was used to repay borrowings under the existing revolver and private placements and to fund acquisitions.

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

Table 5 below sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA based on our historical results:

EBITDA	$	143,550		$	124,039			15.7	%	$	282,607		$	247,686			14.1	%

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 their usefulness as comparative measures.
