Earnings Call Q1 2026

April 29, 2026 - AI Summary

Solid start to 2026; growth slowed by “temporary” headwinds - Organic constant-currency revenue growth of 4.7% in Q1 (with both underwriting and claims contributing) and subscription revenue up 7%. - Adjusted EBITDA grew 5.9% organically constant currency with ~60 bps margin expansion. - Management emphasized performance was modestly below typical growth, driven by: very low weather activity carryover, tougher subscription renewal compares vs last year, and a work stoppage in a federal government contract.
Subscription model remains the core strength (with durability despite weather/government swings) - Q1 subscription revenue was 84% of total revenue, up 7% OCC (and compounding on a 10.6% organic CC increase in the prior-year quarter). - Transactional revenues fell ~6.1% (OEC), mainly due to lower property/restoration weather volumes (vs Q1 2025 benefited from Hurricane Helene/Milton), plus softness in personal lines auto and lower property overage.
Guidance reaffirmed for 2026: gradual improvement through the year - Company is reaffirming full-year 2026 outlook: - Consolidated revenue: $3.19B–$3.24B - Adjusted EBITDA: $1.79B–$1.83B with 56%–56.5% margin - Net interest expense: $190M–$200M - Effective tax rate: 23%–26% - Adjusted EPS: $7.45–$7.75 - Expectation: Q1 is a “trough”; management expects gradual improvement in organic growth as the year progresses. - Important modeling notes/flags: tougher year-over-year comps in 1H, and prior FX translation benefit in Q2 (120 bps margin) that will not recur; also guidance reflects the Verisk Marketing Solutions divestiture (noted $0.11 EPS headwind).
