"In the fourth quarter, Verisk delivered solid results closing out another strong year with growth and profitability in line with our long-term growth targets.

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
		December 31,								% Change
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC*
Underwriting		$	556			$	512				8.7	%			7.2	%
Claims			223				224				(0.7	)			0.5
Insurance		$	779			$	736				5.9				5.2

		Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,								% Change
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC*
Underwriting		$	2,180			$	2,025				7.7	%			7.0	%
Claims			893				857				4.1				5.7
Insurance		$	3,073			$	2,882				6.6				6.6

• Underwriting revenues increased 8.7% in the fourth quarter and 7.2% on an OCC basis. For the full year 2025, underwriting revenues increased 7.7% and 7.0% on an OCC basis. The increase in underwriting revenues was due to our forms, rules and loss cost services and catastrophe and risk solutions. Life solutions and specialty business solutions also contributed to the growth.
• Claims revenues decreased 0.7% in the fourth quarter and increased 0.5% on an OCC basis, primarily due to a decrease in property estimating solutions, offset by growth in anti-fraud solutions. For the full year 2025, claims revenues increased 4.1% and 5.7% on an OCC basis, primarily due to growth in anti-fraud, property estimating and casualty solutions.

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 $197 million, a decrease of 6.2% in the quarter. For the full year 2025, net income was $908 million, a decrease of 5.1%. The decrease in net income was attributable to net gains recognized in the prior year from the settlement of investments in non-public company as well as the amortization of deferred issuance costs and original issuance discounts and redemption premium accrual in the current year associated with the termination of the 2030 Senior Notes, 2036 Senior Notes, and Term Loan Facility, partially offset by a lower income tax provision.

		Three Months Ended
		December 31,								% Change								Margin
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC				2025				2024
Adjusted EBITDA		$	437			$	398				9.8	%			6.2	%			56.1	%			54.1	%

		Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,								% Change								Margin
		2025				2024				Reported				OCC				2025				2024
Adjusted EBITDA		$	1,727			$	1,576				9.6	%			8.5	%			56.2	%			54.7	%

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.2% in the quarter on an OCC basis. For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA increased 8.5% on an OCC basis. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to operating leverage on the 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												Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,												December 31,
		2025				2024				% Change				2025				2024				% Change
Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk		$	1.42			$	1.44				(1.4	)%		$	6.48			$	6.66				(2.7	)%
Diluted adjusted EPS		$	1.82			$	1.61				13.0	%		$	7.16			$	6.64				7.8	%

• Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk decreased 1.4% in the quarter. For the full year 2025, diluted EPS attributable to Verisk decreased 2.7%. The decrease in net income was attributable to net gains recognized in the prior year from the settlement of investments in non-public company as well as the amortization of deferred issuance costs and original issuance discounts and redemption premium accrual in the current year associated with the termination of the 2030 Senior Notes, 2036 Senior Notes, and Term Loan Facility, partially offset by a lower income tax provision.
• Diluted adjusted EPS increased 13.0% in the quarter. For the full year 2025, diluted adjusted EPS increased 7.8%, reflecting strong operational performance and a lower average share count, partially offset by increased net interest and depreciation expenses.

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												Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,												December 31,
		2025				2024				% Change				2025				2024				% Change
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	343.3			$	255.4				34.4	%		$	1,436.0			$	1,144.0				25.5	%
Capital expenditures			(67.2	)			(55.4	)			21.3				(244.1	)			(223.9	)			9.0
Free cash flow		$	276.1			$	200.0				38.0			$	1,191.9			$	920.1				29.5

• In the fourth quarter 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased 34.4%, while free cash flow increased 38.0%. The increase in operating cash flow was due to an increase in operating profit, the timing of cash payments, and higher interest income earned on cash balances.
• For the full year 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased 25.5%, while free cash flow increased 29.5%. The increase in operating cash flow was due to an increase in operating profit, lower cash tax payments, and higher interest income earned on cash balances.

• On December 31, 2025, we paid a cash dividend of 45 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of December 15, 2025.
• In fourth quarter 2025, we repurchased $223.8 million of our common stock through an enhanced open market repurchase program, and received 1,022,624 shares at an average price per share of $218.99. As of December 31, 2025, we had $967.5 million remaining under our prior share repurchase authorization.

Portfolio Actions

During the fourth quarter, we sold Verisk Marketing Solutions (VMS), which was part of Verisk's underwriting subsegment. VMS contributed $68.0 million to our consolidated revenue in 2025.

Subsequent Events

On January 6, 2026, pursuant to the special mandatory redemption provision related to the termination of AccuLynx, we repaid the $1,500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes and 2036 Senior Notes.

On February 13, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 50 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding, payable on March 31, 2026, to holders of record as of March 13, 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements, including those related to our Full Year 2026 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. 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 except as required by law.

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 2026 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.
