Earnings Call Q3 2026
November 5, 2026 - AI Summary
Strong operating momentum; Q3 topped by subscription growth and margins
- Organic constant-currency (OCC) revenue grew +7.4%; improved sequentially in both underwriting (+7.7%) and claims (+6.7%).
- Subscription revenue (84% of total) grew +8.2% OCC (vs. +8.7% prior year period), showing broad strength in forms/rules/loss costs, Catastrophe & Risk Solutions, and anti-fraud analytics.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew +7.5% OCC and total adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 56.7% (+90 bps YoY) on leverage and cost discipline.
- Adjusted EPS rose +14% to $1.96 (diluted), aided by operating performance and a lower average share count.
Outlook maintained for 2026; guidance implies results near the middle of the range
- Management maintains 2026 guidance (expectations “in line” with Investor Day targets).
- Full-year forecast: consolidated revenue $3.19B–$3.24B; Adjusted EBITDA $1.79B–$1.83B with margins 56.0%–56.5%.
- Adjusted EPS expected $7.45–$7.75; tax rate 23%–26%; net interest expense $190M–$200M.
- CFO noted results likely to be around the midpoint due to elongated sales cycles and lower weather activity that continue into Q4.
AI is a key growth driver, but adoption is deliberate—creating both opportunity and sales-cycle risk
- CEO emphasized clients’ increased demand to validate ROI from AI; strong activity in pilots/POCs, including faster policy modernization via Mozart Form Composer and new Forms AI Builder.
- Forms AI Builder: launched/betaed mid-September; 14 companies already using it; feedback suggests it speeds movement from emerging risk to coverage solutions.
- Engagement is broad but measured: insurers ask about empirical reliability, governance/regulator explainability, and integration into existing processes—supporting longer sales cycles.
- Upside narrative: as confidence builds over next 12–24 months, management expects AI-driven demand to become more impactful; however, timing is not automatic.
