(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Revenue

Revenue grew 12.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the effect of recent acquisitions (Argus Information & Advisory Services and Aspect Loss Prevention), revenue grew 7.8% in the second-quarter of 2013. Overall revenue growth was the result of continued double-digit growth in Decision Analytics and single-digit growth in Risk Assessment. For second-quarter 2013, Decision Analytics revenue represented approximately 63% of total revenue.

Table 2A: Decision Analytics Revenues by Category

(in thousands)

Within the Decision Analytics segment, revenue grew 16.6% for second-quarter 2013, and growth excluding recent acquisitions was 8.3%. Growth in the quarter was driven by strong increases in healthcare revenue. Accelerated growth from the insurance revenue category also contributed to second-quarter growth, as did the revenue from the acquisition of Argus, which is reported in the financial services category.

Within the insurance category, revenue growth was 9.5% for the second-quarter of 2013 and 8.9% excluding the recent acquisition of Aspect. This growth was driven by strong growth in underwriting solutions and continued good growth in catastrophe modeling solutions. Insurance fraud claims solutions and loss quantification solutions also added to revenue growth. Overall growth was driven by increased adoption of existing and new solutions and annual invoice increases for certain solutions.

In the financial services category, revenue increased 43.1% in second-quarter 2013 but declined 8.9% after adjusting for the acquisition of Argus. The decline in mortgage revenue within the financial services category reflected continued lower volumes in forensic audit solutions but was partially offset by growth in underwriting and appraisal solutions.

In the healthcare category, revenue in the second-quarter grew 21.3%, all organic. Revenue growth reflected continued expansion of solutions sold to existing customers as well as the addition of new customers. Beginning this quarter, MediConnect Global, acquired in March 2012 and part of revenue and quality intelligence solutions, is included in organic growth.

In the specialized markets category, revenue grew 2.4% in second-quarter 2013. Growth in weather and climate analytics was affected by lower growth in government contracts. Growth in environmental health and safety solutions was driven by ongoing customer agreements moderated by lower volumes of customer implementation projects.

Table 2B: Risk Assessment Revenues by Category

(in thousands)

Within the Risk Assessment segment, revenue grew 7.0% for the quarter. Revenue growth in industry-standard insurance programs was 5.0%, resulting primarily from the annual effect of growth in 2013 invoices effective from January 1.

Property-specific rating and underwriting information revenue grew 13.9% in the second-quarter. Growth was due to new sales resulting in higher committed volumes from certain customers as well as incremental revenue contributions due to the expiration of a revenue-sharing agreement with a technology provider in fourth-quarter 2012.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased 18.8% in second-quarter 2013 and 12.3% excluding recent acquisitions compared with second-quarter 2012. The year-over-year increase relates primarily to additional investments in people and technology, especially in Decision Analytics in support of the growth of the business.

For second-quarter 2013, cost of revenue increased 7.0% for Risk Assessment and increased 24.0% for Decision Analytics (14.6% excluding recent acquisitions), driven by additional headcount to support new solutions. Growth in Decision Analytics cost of revenue was also influenced by investments for future solution development.

Selling, General, and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expense, or SG&A, decreased 2.1% in second-quarter 2013 and decreased 4.0% excluding recent acquisitions. The decrease relates primarily to lower stock-based compensation expenses associated with employees who have reached retirement age, partially offset by higher headcount in Decision Analytics in support of the growth of the business.

In second-quarter 2013, SG&A decreased 14.4% for Risk Assessment. SG&A grew 5.0% for Decision Analytics (2.1% excluding recent acquisitions).

EBITDA

For second-quarter 2013, consolidated EBITDA grew 13.3% to $185.6 million, with a consolidated EBITDA margin of 44.1%.

Table 3: Segment EBITDA

(in thousands)

Decision Analytics EBITDA grew 13.2% in second-quarter 2013 and Risk Assessment EBITDA grew 13.4% versus the same period in the previous year, as shown in Table 3.

The second-quarter 2013 EBITDA margin in Risk Assessment increased to 56.0% from 52.8% in second-quarter 2012 as a result of the previously discussed revenue growth and nearly flat expenses.

The second-quarter 2013 EBITDA margin for Decision Analytics decreased to 37.2% from 38.3% in second-quarter 2012, as margin expansion in existing solutions was offset by continuing investment in innovation.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

Net income increased 14.8% in second-quarter 2013 driven by growth in the business, but partially offset by increased interest expense and increased amortization associated with acquisitions. Adjusted net income grew 17.6% for second-quarter 2013. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS based on historical results.

Table 4: Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by operating activities was $246.7 million, an increase of $59.3 million, or 31.6%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared with the same period in 2012. Cash provided by operations as reported was affected by the timing of excess tax benefits from exercised stock options in first-quarter 2013 and by a $72.0 million voluntary pension contribution in second-quarter 2012. Adjusted for those items, growth for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, was 17.4%.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was the result of a $43.8 million increase generated by improved profitability of the business, a $6.8 million decrease in working capital, and $86.7 million from pension and post-retirement benefits including the voluntary pension contribution in 2012. This was partially offset by a $12.4 million increase in interest paid due to higher debt levels and an increase of $65.6 million in taxes, including the timing of excess tax benefits from exercised stock options in first-quarter 2013 and the tax benefit related to the voluntary pension contribution in 2012.

Capital expenditures were $64.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $26.1 million over the same period in 2012. Capital expenditures were 7.8% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures represented 50.0% of EBITDA in the first six months of 2013. Adjusted for the timing of excess tax benefits from exercised stock options in first-quarter 2013 and the voluntary pension contribution in second-quarter 2012, net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures increased 7.8% to $218.7 million, representing 59.9% of EBITDA for the first six months of 2013.

Share Repurchases

The company continued to balance its internal investment and acquisition initiatives with share repurchases. In second-quarter 2013, the company repurchased shares for a total cost of $116.1 million at an average price of $59.71. On June 20, 2013, the company announced an additional $300 million authorization. At June 30, 2013, the company had $306.6 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

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, EBITDA margin, 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:

Table 5: EBITDA Reconciliation

(in thousands)

EBITDA is a financial measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. In all periods shown here and going forward, the company defines “EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. In previous periods, this measure also excluded investment income and realized gain on securities, net.

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:
