2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill, the realization of deferred tax assets, fair value of stock based compensation, assets and liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits, and the estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the Company's mortgage services business are reported as a discontinued operation for the periods presented herein (See Note 6).
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU No. 2013-05”). Under ASU No. 2013-05, an entity is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon cessation to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU No. 2013-05 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU No. 2013-11”). Under ASU No. 2013-11, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with the exception that these unrecognized tax benefits are not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law. An additional exception applies when the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.
ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”). Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments in this ASU further require additional disclosures on discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held-for-sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued. The Company has elected not to early adopt and will assess the impact of this standard when applicable circumstances are required to be reported in discontinued operations under the existing guidance and this ASU.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU No. 2014-19"). The objective of ASU No. 2014-19 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the new guidance, an entity will identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements nor decided upon the method of adoption.
3. Investments:
Available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted Cost | | Gross Unrealized Loss | | Fair Value |
June 30, 2014 | | | | | | | | |
Registered investment companies | $ | 3,964 |
| | $ | (127 | ) | | $ | 3,837 |
|
December 31, 2013 | | | | | | | | |
Registered investment companies | $ | 4,098 |
| | $ | (187 | ) | | $ | 3,911 |
|
In addition to the available-for-sale securities above, the Company has equity investments in non-public companies in which the Company acquired non-controlling interests and for which no readily determinable market value exists. These securities were accounted for under the cost method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323-10-25, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of such securities was $8,487 and $3,602, respectively, and has been included in “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
4. Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both financial and non-financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820-10”), established a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820-10 requires disclosures detailing the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company applied the following fair value hierarchy:
|
| | |
Level 1 - | | Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments. |
| | |
Level 2 - | | Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments. |
| | |
Level 3 - | | Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which are internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that market participants would require. |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents (other than money-market funds, which are recorded on a reported net asset value basis disclosed below), accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term debt expected to be refinanced approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level for cash equivalents and registered investment companies that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Total | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |

(1) | Registered investment companies are classified as available-for-sale securities and are valued using quoted prices in active markets multiplied by the number of shares owned. |
The Company has not elected to carry its long-term debt at fair value. The carrying value of the long-term debt represents amortized cost. The Company assesses the fair value of its long-term debt based on quoted market prices if available, and if not, an estimate of interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar features, the Company’s current credit rating and spreads applicable to the Company. The fair value of the long-term debt would be a Level 2 liability if the long-term debt was measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of the long-term debt as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:
|

5. Acquisitions:
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company acquired the net assets of Inovatus, LLC for approximately $4,000. The assets primarily consisted of software and are embedded in our existing models focusing on reducing fraud and premium leakage for personal auto insurance carriers. The technology is included in the Company's Decision Analytics segment as part of its solutions to leverage data and analytics to help insurance companies improve results.
2014 Pending Acquisition
In January 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the stock of Eagleview Technology Corporation (“EVT”), the parent company of Pictometry International Corp. and Eagle View Technologies, Inc., for a purchase price of $650,000, which will be funded by the Company's operating cash and borrowings from the senior unsecured Syndicated Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"). EVT is a provider of geo-referenced aerial image capture and visual-centric data analytics and solutions to insurers, contractors, government, and commercial customers in the United States. This acquisition is expected to advance the Company's position in the imagery analytics market, adding new municipal and commercial customers. The transaction is expected to support the aerial imagery solution development in the Company's Decision Analytics segment. The purchase price to be paid will be adjusted subsequent to close to reflect final balances of certain working capital accounts and other closing adjustments. The closing of the transaction is subject to the completion of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals. On March 28, 2014, the Company received a request for additional information (the “Second Request”) from the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company is responding to the Second Request and presently expects the transaction to close at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
Acquisition Escrows
Pursuant to the related acquisition agreements, the Company has funded various escrow accounts to satisfy pre-acquisition indemnity and tax claims arising subsequent to the acquisition dates, as well as a portion of the contingent payments. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the current portion of the escrows amounted to $7,212 and $27,967, respectively, and there was no noncurrent portion amount of the escrow in either period. The current portion of the escrows has been included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
6. Discontinued Operations:
On March 11, 2014, the Company sold 100 percent of the stock of the Company’s mortgage services business, Interthinx, which was a guarantor subsidiary , in exchange for a purchase price of $155,000. Upon completion of the sale, Interthinx ceased being a guarantor. The cash received will be adjusted subsequent to close to reflect final balances of certain working capital accounts and other closing adjustments. The Company recognized income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $31,117 during 2014. Results of operations for the mortgage services business are reported as a discontinued operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and for all prior periods presented.
The mortgage services business meets the criteria for being reported as a discontinued operation and has been segregated from continuing operations. The following table summarizes the results from the discontinued operation for the three and six months ended June 30:

______________________
| |
(1) | These balances are net of accumulated impairment charges of $3,244 that occurred prior to December 31, 2011. |
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are subject to impairment testing annually as of June 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing compares the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, including goodwill assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company completed the required annual impairment test as of June 30, 2014, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill.
The Company’s intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $14,221 and $17,061, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $28,433 and $34,113, respectively. Estimated amortization expense in future periods through 2019 and thereafter for intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows:

8. Income Taxes:
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 37.87% and 36.85%, compared to the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of 35.89% and 36.24%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is higher than the June 30, 2013 effective tax rate primarily due to greater tax benefits realized from tax planning strategies in the prior period. The difference between statutory tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily attributable to state taxes and nondeductible share appreciation from the ISO 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“KSOP”).

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a $975,000 committed Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., and a syndicate of banks. The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and capital expenditures, acquisitions and the share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.
10. Stockholders’ Equity:
The Company has 1,200,000,000 shares of authorized Class A common stock. The common shares have rights to any dividend declared by the board of directors, subject to any preferential or other rights of any outstanding preferred stock, and voting rights to elect all twelve members of the board of directors.
Share Repurchase Program
Since May 2010, the Company has authorized repurchases of up to $1,500,000 of its common stock through its Repurchase Program, including the additional authorization of $300,000 announced on June 4, 2014. Since the introduction of share repurchase as a feature of the Company's capital management strategies in 2010, the Company has repurchased shares with an aggregate value of $1,153,828. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $346,172 available to repurchase shares. The Company has no obligation to repurchase stock under this program and intends to use this authorization as a means of offsetting dilution from the issuance of shares under the KSOP, the Verisk 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”), the Verisk 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”), and the ISO 1996 Incentive Plan (the “1996 Incentive Plan”), while providing flexibility to repurchase additional shares if warranted. This authorization has no expiration date and may be increased, reduced, suspended, or terminated at any time. Repurchased shares will be recorded as treasury stock and will be available for future issuance as part of the Repurchase Program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 1,909,100 shares of common stock as part of the Repurchase Program at a weighted average price of $62.38 per share. The Company utilized cash from operations to fund these repurchases.
Treasury Stock
As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s treasury stock consisted of 377,638,586 shares of Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reissued 815,625 shares of Class A common stock from the treasury shares at a weighted average price of $5.12 per share.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and net income, respectively, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding, using the treasury stock method, if the dilutive potential common shares, including stock options, nonvested restricted stock, and nonvested restricted stock units, had been issued.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

11. Equity Compensation Plans:
All of the Company’s outstanding stock options and restricted stock are covered under the 2013 Incentive Plan, 2009 Incentive Plan or the 1996 Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan may include one or more of the following types: (i) stock options (both nonqualified and incentive stock options), (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards, (vi) other share based awards, and (vii) cash. Employees, directors and consultants are eligible for awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The Company issued common stock under these plans from the Company’s treasury shares. As of June 30, 2014, there were 12,838,428 shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan. Cash received from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $14,923 and $30,528, respectively.
On April 1, 2014, the Company granted 1,144,934 nonqualified stock options and 227,794 shares of restricted stock to key employees. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, with a ten-year contractual term and a service vesting period of four years. The fair value of the restricted stock is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and has a service vesting period of four years. The Company recognizes the expense of the restricted stock ratably over the vesting period. The restricted stock is not assignable or transferable until it becomes vested.
On July 1, 2014, the Company granted 3,387 shares of common stock, 33,906 nonqualified stock options that were immediately vested, 62,546 nonqualified stock options with a one-year service vesting period, and 15,807 restricted stock units to the directors of the Company. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock at the grant date and a ten-year contractual term.
The fair value of the stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table:
|
| | | | | | | |
| 2014 | | 2013 |
Option pricing model | Black-Scholes |
| | Black-Scholes |
|
Expected volatility | 20.56 | % | | 29.84 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.49 | % | | 0.66 | % |
Expected term in years | 4.4 |
| | 4.5 |
|
Dividend yield | — | % | | — | % |
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option | $ | 11.88 |
| | $ | 15.87 |
|
The expected term for the stock options granted was estimated based on studies of historical experience and projected exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected term of the equity award. The volatility factor is calculated using historical daily closing prices over the most recent period that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock option award. The volatility factor for stock options granted prior to 2014 was based on the average volatility of the Company’s peers as the Company did not have a history of stock price sufficient to cover the expected term of those awards. The volatility factor for stock options granted in 2014 was based on, and going forward will be based on, the volatility of the Company's stock. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected annual dividend rate on the date of grant.
A summary of the stock options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 and changes during the interim period are presented below:

Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of Verisk common stock as of the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, excess tax benefit from exercised stock options and restricted stock lapsed is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and a corresponding reduction in income taxes payable. This tax benefit is calculated as the excess of the intrinsic value of options exercised and restricted stock lapsed in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. The amount of the tax benefit that has been realized, as a result of those excess tax benefits, is presented as a financing cash inflow within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded excess tax benefits of $9,705 and $32,211, respectively. The Company realized $6,094 and $63,934 of tax benefit within the Company’s quarterly tax payments through June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company estimates expected forfeitures of equity awards at the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards that the Company expects to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Changes in the forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the requisite service period and may impact the timing of expense recognized over the requisite service period.
A summary of the status of the restricted stock awarded under the 2013 Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 and changes during the interim period is presented below:

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, certain employees had restricted stock vesting and covered the aggregate statutory minimum tax withholdings of $1,234 through a net settlement of 20,673 shares. The payment of taxes related to the vesting was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. This transaction is reflected within "Net share settlement of restricted stock awards" within cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of June 30, 2014, there was $52,513 of total unrecognized compensation costs, exclusive of the impact of vesting upon retirement eligibility, related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2009 and 2013 Incentive Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.92 years. As of June 30, 2014, there were 2,156,070 and 466,238 nonvested stock options and restricted stock, respectively, of which 1,713,911 and 365,037 are expected to vest. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $6,299 and $8,581, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4,473 and $2,849, respectively.
The Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) commenced on October 1, 2012 and offers eligible employees the opportunity to authorize payroll deductions of up to 20.0% of their regular base salary and up to 50.0% of their short-term incentive compensation, both of which in total may not exceed $25 in any calendar year, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5.0% discount of its fair market value at the time of purchase. In accordance with ASC 718, the ESPP is noncompensatory as the purchase discount is 5.0% or less from the fair market value, substantially all employees that meet limited employment qualifications may participate, and it incorporates no option features. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 15,633 shares of common stock at a weighted discounted price of $56.99.
12. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:
The Company maintained a frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan for certain of its employees through membership in the Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the “Pension Plan”), a multiple-employer trust. The Company has applied a cash balance formula to determine future benefits. Under the cash balance formula, each participant has an account, which is credited annually based on the interest earned on the previous year-end cash balance. The Company also has a frozen non-qualified supplemental cash balance plan (“SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is funded from the general assets of the Company.
The Company also provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to certain qualifying active and retired employees. The Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Plan (the “Postretirement Plan”), which has been frozen, is contributory, requiring participants to pay a stated percentage of the premium for coverage.
