Consolidated revenues were $675.0 million, up 10.1%, and up 9.8% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis for the second quarter of 2023 reflecting strong growth in underwriting and claims.
Income from continuing operations was $204.3 million, up 17.7% for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $365.2 million, up 13.5%, and up 12.6% on an OCC basis. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily due to growth in the Insurance segment and the loss recognized on the sale of our Financial Services segment in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA growth reflects the contribution from strong revenue growth combined with cost discipline across our businesses.
Diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations (diluted EPS) were $1.35 for the second quarter of 2023, up 8.9%. Diluted adjusted earnings per share (diluted adjusted EPS), a non-GAAP measure, were $1.51, up 18.9%. Diluted adjusted EPS growth reflects strong revenue and profit growth and the benefit from our accelerated share repurchase program.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $192.9 million, up 48.2% and free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $134.7 million, up 120.8% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating cash flow was due to an increase in operating profit, and a decrease of $75.2 million in cash taxes paid. The decrease in tax payments was primarily related to the non-recurring gain on the disposition of 3E in the prior year, offset by an increase in taxable income in the second quarter of 2023. The operating cash flows for the prior year has not been adjusted to separately disclose the cash flows related to discontinued operations.
We paid a cash dividend of 34 cents per share on June 30, 2023. Our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 34 cents per share payable on September 29, 2023.
We are increasing our financial guidance for 2023 given the strong performance to date.

Insurance segment revenues grew 10.6% in the second quarter and 9.8% on an OCC basis.

Underwriting revenues increased 9.2% in the quarter and 9.3% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from solid growth across our forms, rules & loss cost services, underwriting data solutions, life insurance, and extreme events solutions.
Claims revenues grew 14.4% in the quarter and 11.2% on an OCC basis. Growth was broad-based with strong results recorded in property estimating, anti-fraud, and international solutions.

There was no Energy and Specialized Markets segment revenue in the quarter. We closed on the sale of the Energy business on February 1, 2023, and accounted for it as discontinued operations. We closed on the sale of 3E on March 11, 2022.

There was no Financial Services segment revenue in the quarter as we closed on its sale on April 8, 2022.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

During second-quarter 2023, net income from continuing operations was $204.3 million, an increase of 17.7%. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily due to growth in Insurance and the sale of our Financial Services segment in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.5%, and 12.6% on an OCC basis, primarily due to strong revenue growth and cost discipline.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

(in millions)

Note: Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. 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 recent dispositions, namely 3E, Energy, and Verisk Financial Services. Segment-level adjusted EBITDA margins for 2023 reflect a higher level of corporate allocations resulting from recent dispositions and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Earnings Per Share and Diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Diluted EPS attributable to Verisk increased 8.9% to $1.35 for the second quarter of 2023. Diluted adjusted EPS increased 18.9% to $1.51 for the second quarter of 2023. Diluted adjusted EPS growth reflects strong revenue and profit growth and the benefit from our accelerated share repurchase program.

Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $192.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 48.2%, and free cash flow was $134.7 million, up 120.8%. The increase in operating cash flow was due to an increase in operating profit, and a decrease of $75.2 million in cash taxes paid. The decrease in tax payments in the second quarter was primarily related to the non-recurring gain on the disposition of 3E in the prior year, offset by an increase in taxable income in the second quarter of 2023. The operating cash flows for the prior year has not been adjusted to separately disclose the cash flows related to discontinued operations.

Dividend

On June 30, 2023, we paid a cash dividend of 34 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of June 15, 2023.

On July 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 34 cents per share of common stock issued and outstanding, payable on September 29, 2023, to holders of record as of September 15, 2023.

Share Repurchases

We had no share repurchases in the second quarter of 2023. The $2.5 billion accelerated share repurchase program initiated during the first quarter is expected to complete in the fourth quarter. As of June 30, 2023, we had $941.3 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

2023 Financial Guidance

Given the strong financial results to date, we are increasing our financial outlook for 2023. Specifically, for 2023, we now expect consolidated revenue to be in the range of $2.63 billion to $2.66 billion, adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $1.39 billion to $1.43 billion, and diluted adjusted EPS to be between $5.50 and $5.70. Our expectations for adjusted EBITDA margins are unchanged at 53-54%.

Forward-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 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 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 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), 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 10 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and a segment results summary and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA. 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.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin, including, for example, tax consequences, acquisition-related costs, gain/loss from dispositions and other non-recurring expenses, the effect of which may be significant.
