Operating Cash Flow in Q2 2024 increased primarily because the company experienced **higher operating profit** during the quarter, which boosted the net cash provided by operating activities by approximately **$18.8 million (9.7%)** compared to Q2 2023. Additionally, while there was a **$37.0 million payment** related to a Department of Justice inquiry that partially offset the increase, the overall improvement in operating performance was the main driver of the increase.  **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:41]** **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:40]** 

Why did Operating Cash Flow increase in Q2 2024?

The large swing in investing cash flows in Q4 2023 was primarily driven by the **proceeds from the sale of its Energy business**, which generated **$3,066.4 million** in inflows. This major inflow, compared to the more modest asset sales in previous periods, substantially boosted cash from investing activities. Additionally, **capital expenditures of $230.0 million** and **acquisitions and escrow funding expenses of $87.1 million** partially offset this inflow, contributing to the overall net cash change in the period.  **[0001437749-24-004939_vrsk20231231c_10k.htm:65]** **[0001437749-24-014064_vrsk20240331_10q.htm:36]** 

What drove the large swing in investing cash flows in Q4 2023?

These included **share repurchases** totaling **$2,762.3 million**, substantial **debt repayment** of **$1,265.0 million**, and **dividend payments** amounting to **$196.8 million**. Although there were **proceeds from stock options exercised** of **$141.9 million** that helped offset some of the outflows, the net result was a dramatic increase in cash used for financing, reaching **$3,786.5 million** overall.  **[0001437749-24-004939_vrsk20231231c_10k.htm:96]** **[0001437749-24-004939_vrsk20231231c_10k.htm:65]** 

Why did financing cash outflows spike in Q4 2023?

The jump in net cash change in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by improvements across all cash flow activities. **Operating activities** generated higher cash flow, increasing from **$192.9 million** in Q2 2023 to **$211.7 million** in Q2 2024. **Investing activities** turned positive, as the company received **$112.1 million** upon settlement of retained interests—resulting in a net cash inflow of **$56.1 million** compared to a **$108.3 million** outflow in Q2 2023—despite ongoing capital expenditures of **$57.8 million**. Additionally, **financing activities** saw a drastic reduction in cash outflow, with lesser repurchases of common stock and lower debt repayments, resulting in cash used of **$242.5 million** in Q2 2024 versus **$3,405.0 million** in Q2 2023.  **[0001437749-24-023984_ex_687125.htm:9]** **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:41]** **[0001437749-24-023984_ex_687125.htm:9]** **[0001437749-24-014063_ex_631742.htm:8]**

The large increase in cash and cash equivalents in Q2 2024 was driven by multiple factors. **Proceeds from the settlement of investments** added **$112 million** to cash, while **net cash provided by operating activities** contributed **$211.7 million** through strong operational performance.  **[VRSK_3395274_6]** **[0001437749-24-023984_ex_687125.htm:9]**  Additionally, **financing activities**, including the issuance of **$600 million in senior notes** and the tendering of **$400 million in notes**, further boosted the cash balance, despite outflows from **capital expenditures** of **$57.8 million** and **share repurchases** of **$350 million**.  **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:39]** **[VRSK_3395274_5]** **[0001437749-24-023984_ex_687125.htm:9]** 

What drove the large increase in cash and cash equivalents in Q2 2024?

The short-term debt spiked dramatically in **Q2 2024** because **Verisk Analytics** reclassified **$499.3 million** of **4.000% senior notes** (maturing on **June 15, 2025**) from long-term debt to short-term debt as the maturity date approached.  **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:2]** **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:15]** 

Why did the short-term debt spike so dramatically in Q2 2024?

The significant drop in total assets by FY 2023 was mainly due to the **sale of the Energy Business**, which resulted in the removal of **$2,728.6 million** in noncurrent assets held-for-sale and **$362.6 million** in current assets held-for-sale. In addition, although there was a modest increase in cash and cash equivalents and only slight changes in intangible assets and goodwill, these factors were not enough to counterbalance the substantial asset removal from the divestiture. This strategic reorganization aimed to focus more on core insurance analytics operations led to the sharp decline in total assets.  **[0001437749-24-004939_vrsk20231231c_10k.htm:92]** **[0001437749-24-004939_vrsk20231231c_10k.htm:125]** 

What led to the significant drop in total assets by FY 2023?

The surge in **Total Stockholders’ Equity** in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by a **strong net income of $527.7 million** which significantly boosted retained earnings. This positive impact was partially offset by a **common stock dividend of $111.3 million** and **treasury stock repurchases of $387.7 million**. Additionally, adjustments from treasury stock transfers related to exercised stock options and restricted stock awards (adding **$62.9 million** and **$2.1 million**, respectively), as well as a **stock-based compensation expense of $25.6 million**, further contributed to the net increase, despite a **$15.5 million accumulated other comprehensive loss** and a **$7.2 million reduction in noncontrolling interests**.  **[0001437749-24-023985_vrsk20240630_10q.htm:5]**
