Verisk Reports Fourth-Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 28 Feb 2023 15:10:01 America/Chicago
- Revenues from continuing operations were $630.4 million, up marginally, and up 8.1% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis for the fourth quarter of 2022. Our revenue from continuing operations growth was flat primarily due to the sale of our environmental health and safety business ("3E") and Financial Services segment.
- Income from continuing operations was $215.8 million, up 82.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $332.0 million, up 4.1%, and up 12.9% on an OCC basis. The increase in income from continuing operations is primarily due to an impairment loss incurred in 2021 related to the disposition of our Financial Services segment, offset by a reversal of a litigation reserve.
- Diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations (diluted EPS) were $1.37 for the fourth quarter of 2022, up 87.7%. Diluted adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations (diluted adjusted EPS), a non-GAAP measure, were $1.43, up 18.2%.
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $249.0 million, up 32.0%, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $169.3 million, increase 63.9%. The increase is primarily related to the prior year settlement of the EVT litigation, partially offset by the sale of 3E and our Financial Services segment.
- We paid a cash dividend of 31 cents per share on December 31, 2022. On February 14, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a 9.7% increase in our cash dividend to 34 cents per share payable on March 31, 2023.
- We repurchased $428.6 million of our shares during the fourth quarter of 2022.
- We plan to provide 2023 financial guidance on our earnings conference call on March 1, 2023.

On an OCC basis, revenue increased 8.1% including a 100 basis point contribution from storm-related revenue. In addition, the Energy business qualified as held for sale and discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2022. Accordingly, all results of the Energy business have been removed from continuing operations and presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

- Underwriting & rating revenues increased 11.4% in the quarter and 6.5% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from annual increases in price 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, extreme events solutions and life solutions contributed to the growth.
- Claims revenue grew 13.2% in the quarter and 11.9% on an OCC basis. Growth was broad-based with strong results recorded in property estimating, anti-fraud solutions and international. Storm related revenue contributed 340 basis points of OCC growth in the quarter.
There was no Energy and Specialized Markets segment revenue in the quarter as we closed on the sale of the 3E business on March 11, 2022 and the Energy business qualified for discontinued operations.
There was no Financial Services segment revenue in the quarter as we closed the sale of Verisk Financial Services on April 8, 2022.
Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA
During fourth-quarter 2022, net income from continuing operations increased 82.4%. The increase was primarily related to a non-cash impairment charge of $134.0 million associated with our Financial Services reporting unit in 2021 and the release of the previously established $50.0 million litigation reserve during the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.1%, and increased 12.9% on an OCC basis.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment from Continuing Operations
(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. All OCC figures exclude results from all dispositions namely, Energy, 3E and Verisk Financial Services. Segment-level adjusted EBITDA margins for 2022 reflect a higher level of corporate allocations resulting from recent dispositions and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.Three months ended December 31, EBITDA EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Growth Adjusted EBITDA Margin 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 Reported 2022 OCC 2022 2021 Insurance $ 342.8 $ 354.6 54.4 % 62.9 % $ 332.1 $ 304.6 9.0 % 12.9 % 52.7 % 54.1 % Energy and Specialized Markets 0.5 3.4 0.0 11.6 0.1 3.4 (97.2 ) 0.0 0.0 11.6 Financial Services (2.6 ) (123.0 ) 0.0 (322.5 ) (0.2 ) 11.0 (101.6 ) 0.0 0.0 28.9 Total $ 340.7 $ 235.0 54.0 37.3 $ 332.0 $ 319.0 4.1 12.9 52.7 50.6 Twelve months ended December 31, EBITDA EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Growth Adjusted EBITDA Margin 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 Reported 2022 OCC 2022 2021 Insurance $ 1,303.0 $ 1,265.2 53.5 % 57.3 % $ 1,300.0 $ 1,215.3 7.0 % 8.0 % 53.3 % 55.1 % Energy and Specialized Markets 426.2 9.6 1,900.8 8.5 (21.9 ) 9.6 (328.5 ) 0.0 (97.9 ) 8.5 Financial Services (89.4 ) (111.1 ) (237.6 ) (77.8 ) 6.4 22.9 (72.2 ) 0.0 16.9 16.0 Total $ 1,639.8 $ 1,163.7 65.7 47.3 $ 1,284.5 $ 1,247.8 2.9 8.0 51.4 50.7 Earnings Per Share and Diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk increased 87.7% to $1.37 for the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to an impairment of long-lived assets associated with our Financial Services segment in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by the release of a litigation reserve in the fourth quarter of 2021 and current year acquisition related cost and interest expense.
Diluted adjusted EPS grew 18.2% to $1.43 for the fourth quarter of 2022 driven by strong revenue growth, core operating leverage, a one-time tax benefit of approximately $30.3 million and a lower share base.
Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $249.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, up 32.0%. Capital expenditures were $79.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, down 6.6%. Free cash flow was $169.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, up 63.9%. See "Non-GAAP reconciliations" below for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.
Dividend
On December 31, 2022, we paid a cash dividend of 31 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of December 15, 2022. On February 14, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a 9.7% increase in our cash dividend to 34 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding, payable on March 31, 2023, to holders of record as of March 15, 2023.
Share Repurchases
Including the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) settled in the fourth quarter of 2022, we repurchased approximately 2,384 thousand shares at an average price of $179.82 per share, for a total cost of $428.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. On December 31, 2022, we had $441.3 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Alberto.Canal@verisk.comForward-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 from continuing operations 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 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 from continuing operations 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: Organic is defined 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. 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 segment adjusted EBITDA margin, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA expenses, and a reconciliation of diluted adjusted EPS. See page 12 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow.
