Verisk Analytics, Inc. [removed: ("Verisk")] [added: ("Verisk" or the "Company")] has made statements under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in other sections of this annual report on Form 10-K that are forward-looking statements.
In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] our clients included all of the top 100 property and casualty ("P&C") insurance providers in the U.S. for the lines of P&C services we offer.
We believe that Verisk is uniquely positioned with a series of competitive [removed: advantages] [added: differentiators] including:
- _Long-standing Industry Relationships_ – Our early beginnings as an insurance rating bureau have established us as a trusted partner for the [removed: industry] [added: industry,] as well as a source of insights for our clients; and
- _Scale to Drive Broad Distribution of Innovation_ – Our scale [removed: advantage] enables us to innovate on behalf of the insurance industry and deliver solutions that strive to solve our clients’ biggest challenges.
In addition, we are working on building leadership positions in adjacent [removed: markets] [added: spaces,] including life insurance, [removed: marketing,] specialty business solutions, and resilience and sustainability.
- Drive Operating Efficiency and Profitability. Our subscription business [removed: model] [added: model,] as well as our ability to build solutions that serve the insurance industry at [removed: large] [added: large,] helps drive core operating leverage.
We seek to balance this with high return on capital investment [removed: into] [added: in] the business to continue to drive growth and profitability; and
On May 23, 2008, in contemplation of our initial public offering ("IPO"), ISO formed [removed: Verisk Analytics, Inc. ("Verisk"),] [added: Verisk,] a Delaware corporation, to be the holding company for our business.

We [removed: now] operate in one segment, Insurance, which primarily serves our P&C insurance customers across most personal and commercial lines of business, focusing on the fundamental building blocks of insurance programs, the prediction of loss, the selection and pricing of risk, and compliance with their reporting requirements in each U.S. state in which they operate.
Our customers, acquired over more than 50 years, include most of the P&C insurance providers in the U.S. In recent years, we have expanded our offerings [removed: to serve] [added: into] certain non-U.S. markets and [removed: into] the fields of life insurance and [removed: annuities, as well as insurance marketing.][added: annuities.]
We offer our solutions and services primarily through annual subscriptions or long-term agreements, which are typically prepaid (annually and quarterly) and represented [removed: approximately 81%] [added: over 80%] of our revenues in [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
This support spans their product development, [removed: marketing,] new and renewal underwriting, risk selection and segmentation, pricing, and straight through to policy binding and issuance.
We operate in one segment, Insurance.

_Catastrophe and Risk Solutions_
We provide data aggregation and reporting services for catastrophe and large loss claims across the industry.
Our platform is recognized as a trusted source for independent loss estimates, covering a broad spectrum of both catastrophe and non-catastrophe events.
Marketing Solutions provides leading marketing solutions for customers in both insurance and non-insurance industries.
On December 31, 2025, we sold the Verisk Marketing Solutions business to ActiveProspect, Inc. ("ActiveProspect"), backed by Five Elms Capital Management, LLC, for a net cash sale price of $80.0 million.
In addition to property data and solutions, clients can benefit from decision and benchmarking analytics using firmographic, technographic, and business intelligence and proprietary management competency scores, delivered digitally to enable straight through processing.
We also integrated advanced capabilities into insurer workflows through strategic partnerships, offering tools that identify stolen or total-loss vehicles using global marketplace data, monitor social media for inconsistencies with reported injuries, and provide incident footage from traffic intersections automatically matched to claims.
We provide a comprehensive suite of solutions supporting property and casualty insurers across the United Kingdom and Europe.
By integrating advanced technology with extensive industry knowledge, we help insurers streamline processes, enhance automation, ensure compliance, and make faster, more accurate decisions—ultimately benefiting both clients and policyholders.
We advanced our Career Framework by aligning foundational and functional skills to each job function and grade, and by educating employees and managers on how to use these skills to support a consistent approach to career development.
In addition, with the roll-out of a new talent and workforce management platform in 2025, employees can view skills connected to their current roles, explore skills for other roles, and identify targeted development opportunities – all in a shared technology platform.
These enhancements reflect our commitment to building a shared language for development.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to help employees understand the skills model and how to use it for skill assessment, feedback, and targeted development.
The foundation of our performance management approach is built on three core principles: feedback, coaching, and continuous conversations.
This structure builds alignment, connection, and engagement.
Across all programs, participant feedback is exceptionally strong, averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars.
In 2025, we launched our Executive Leadership Lab, rounding out our leadership offering with a six-month intensive experience for our most senior learners.
This program develops Verisk’s rising executive leaders through virtual and immersive in-person sessions, blending off-site experiences, industry experts, external speakers, executive coaching, and hands-on activities centered on three key skills: strategic thinking, invention, and talent multiplication.
We also developed and launched Insight City, an immersive learning solution designed to help employees navigate our businesses, culture, and ways of working.
Insight City gives employees an engaging way to explore our history, solutions, and customers through interactive moments and real-world scenarios.
This initiative responds to a growing appetite for modern, experiential learning and reinforces our commitment to equipping employees with the knowledge they need to thrive at Verisk.
Lastly, in 2025, we significantly expanded leadership development through our enterprise coaching offering, partnering with a global roster of International Coaching Federation-certified coaches.
Nominated employees participate in this experience by selecting a coach, setting development goals, and engaging in personalized coaching journeys, with unlimited one-on-one sessions.
Participants in the program leveraged one-on-one coaching sessions to drive performance and build lasting leadership capabilities.
Our employee engagement score for 2025 is 80%, improving by 2% points since 2024.

Our operating segments have historically been Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services.

We assessed the sale of 3E and Financial Services segment per the guidance in ASC 205-20, _Discontinued Operations_ ("ASC 205-20"), and determined that the transactions did not qualify as a discontinued operation because they did not, quantitatively or qualitatively, represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.
On October 28, 2022, we also entered into an equity purchase agreement to sell Wood Mackenzie, Inc. and Verisk New UK Holdco LP (together with their respective subsidiaries, our “Energy business”).
The transaction closed on February 1, 2023.
The Energy business qualified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2022 and was classified as a discontinued operation per the guidance in ASC 205-20, as we determined that this transaction represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.
Accordingly, all results of the Energy business have been removed from continuing operations and presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented.
Results of our Energy business are reported as a discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for all prior periods presented.
