Insights

Equity Analyst

Solid quarter with modest revenue and EPS growth, strong cash flow, and an FTC Second Request on the pending acquisition.

Verisk reported third-quarter revenue of $768 million (up 5.9%, 5.5% OCC) and diluted GAAP EPS of $1.61 (up 4.5%); adjusted EBITDA was $429 million (up 7.2%, 8.8% OCC). Free cash flow rose to $336.1 million (up 39.6%), operating cash increased to $403.5 million (up 36.2%), and the company repurchased 0.4 million shares for $100.0 million while raising the quarterly dividend to $0.45 per share.

The business case rests on steady organic growth across Underwriting and Claims products and strong cash conversion; the company cites a temporary ~1% negative weather impact and recorded higher interest expense and a prior-period investment gain that muted net income improvement. The pending AccuLynx transaction now faces a Federal Trade Commission Second Request, which may delay closing and alter near-term M&A contributions.

Watch near-term items: the outcome and timing of the FTC review for AccuLynx, actual full-year results vs. the updated Full Year 2025 Outlook ranges, and quarterly interest expense trends relative to the updated $165–$185 million guidance for interest expense; expect updates over the next 1–3 quarters as the FTC review and year-end reported metrics resolve.

• Third quarter revenue of $768 million, up 5.9%, and up 5.5% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis.
• Net income of $226 million, up 2.5% as strong operating performance were partially offset by higher net interest expense in the current year and investment gain in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $429 million, up 7.2%, and up 8.8% on an OCC basis.
• Diluted GAAP earnings per share of $1.61, up 4.5%.
• Diluted adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, of $1.72, up 3.0%.
• Pending AccuLynx acquisition subject to a Second Request from the FTC as part of the agency's review of the proposed transaction.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics and technology provider, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The earnings release is available on the company’s Investor Relations website at investor.verisk.com.

Lee Shavel, President and CEO, Verisk:
“I am pleased to share that Verisk is on track to deliver another year in line with our long-term growth targets. Our continued strategic engagement across the industry is opening new opportunities to partner with our clients and expanding our client base to new ecosystem participants. Through our C-suite engagements, we continue to hear support for us to provide more data and integrate that data more deeply into systems and the industry ecosystem generally for efficiency."

Elizabeth Mann, CFO, Verisk:
"In the third quarter 2025, Verisk organic constant currency revenue grew 5.5%.

We continue to have great confidence in our ability to deliver results in line with our long-term growth targets for this year, for 2026 and beyond."

Revenue
($ in millions)
Note: OCC revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.
*Beginning with the first quarter of 2025, an immaterial component of our Insurance segment was transferred from Claims to Underwriting in calculating the OCC change percentage. The transfer has no impact on the OCC growth rates for our Insurance segment.

		Three Months Ended
		September 30,								% Change
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC*
Underwriting		$	542			$	507				6.9	%			5.8	%
Claims			226				218				3.6				5.0
Insurance		$	768			$	725				5.9				5.5

		Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								% Change
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC*
Underwriting		$	1,624			$	1,513				7.3	%			6.9	%
Claims			670				633				5.8				7.6
Insurance		$	2,294			$	2,146				6.9				7.1

• Underwriting revenues increased 6.9% in the quarter and 5.8% on an OCC basis, primarily due to our forms, rules and loss cost services and extreme event solutions. Life solutions and specialty business also contributed to the growth. On December 2, 2024, we sold Atmospheric and Environmental Research ("AER"), which was a business within Underwriting. AER is included in our revenue from disposition.
• Claims revenues grew 3.6% in the quarter and 5.0% on an OCC basis, primarily due to anti-fraud solutions and casualty solutions. Our growth was negatively impacted by a historically low level of severe weather activity in the quarter.

Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
($ in millions)
Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Margin is calculated as a percentage of revenues. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

• Net income was $226 million, an increase of 2.5% in the quarter. The increase in net income was mainly driven by revenue growth and cost discipline, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and a nonrecurring tax benefit recognized in the prior period, as well as lower tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period.

		Three Months Ended
		September 30,								% Change								Margin
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC				2025				2024
Adjusted EBITDA		$	429			$	401				7.2	%			8.8	%			55.8	%			55.2	%

		Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								% Change								Margin
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC				2025				2024
Adjusted EBITDA		$	1,291			$	1,178				9.5	%			9.4	%			56.3	%			54.9	%

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.8% on an OCC basis, primarily due to operating leverage based on revenue growth and cost discipline.

Diluted Earnings Per Share
Note: Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

		Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
		September 30,												September 30,

Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk		$	1.61			$	1.54				4.5	%		$	5.06			$	5.22				(3.1	)%
Diluted adjusted EPS		$	1.72			$	1.67				3.0	%		$	5.34			$	5.04				6.0	%

• The increase in diluted EPS of 4.5% was primarily the result of solid operational performance and a lower average share count, partially offset by increased net interest and depreciation expenses and a higher year over year tax rate.  The tax rate was impacted by a lower tax benefit from equity compensation in the current period and a one-time tax benefit in the prior year period.
  
• Diluted adjusted EPS increased 3.0%, reflecting solid operational performance and a lower average share count, partially offset by increased net interest and depreciation expenses and a higher year over year tax rate.  The tax rate was impacted by a lower tax benefit from equity compensation in the current period and a one-time tax benefit in the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Capital Return
($ in millions)
Note: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

		Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended

Free cash flow		$	336.1			$	240.7				39.6			$	915.8			$	720.1				27.2

• Net cash provided by operating activities grew 36.2% in the quarter, while free cash flow increased 39.6%.
• Free cash flow growth was driven by an increase in operating profit, the timing of cash receipts and lower cash tax payments, partially offset by an increase in interest payments.

• On September 30, 2025, we paid a cash dividend of 45 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of September 15, 2025.
• On October 22, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 45 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding. The dividend is payable on December 31, 2025, to holders of record as of December 15, 2025.
• In the third quarter, we repurchased 0.4 million shares for $100.0 million, including a $50.0 million Accelerated Share Repurchase program, at an average price, less a discount, of $271.31. As of September 30, 2025, we had $1.2 billion remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements, including those related to our Full Year 2025 Outlook and financial guidance. 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.

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, net; and (iv) provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related adjustments (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 help us allocate resources, make business decisions, 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 adjustments (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: Organic is defined as operating results excluding the effect of recent acquisitions and dispositions (which include businesses held for sale), and nonrecurring gain/loss associated with cost-based and equity-method investments 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. We believe 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 and the impact of recent dispositions, for which results are removed from all prior periods presented to allow for comparability.

Organic Constant Currency (OCC) Growth Rate: 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 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 consolidated adjusted EBITDA and a results summary and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA. See page 11 for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA margin, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA expenses, and a reconciliation of diluted adjusted EPS. See page 13 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Full Year 2025 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Diluted Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable expected GAAP results because of the unreasonable effort and high unpredictability of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Diluted Adjusted EPS, including, for example, tax consequences, acquisition-related costs, gain/loss from dispositions and other non-recurring expenses, the effect of which may be significant.
