Verisk, a strategic data analytics and technology partner for the global insurance industry, reported total revenue of $3.073 billion in 2025, a 6.6% increase from 2024.
The company said underwriting revenue rose 7.7% from 2024 to $2.18 billion, driven by growth in forms, rules and loss cost services and catastrophe and risk solutions. Lifestyle solutions and professional business solutions also drove this growth.
Full-year claims revenue increased 4.1% to $893 million, primarily reflecting growth in anti-fraud, property appraisal and casualty solutions.
In the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, Verisk disclosed revenue of $779 million, an increase of 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024.
At the same time, the company’s full-year net profit in 2025 was US$908 million, a decrease of 5.1% from 2024. Verisk explained that the decrease in net income was due to net gains recognized on the prior year settlement of unlisted company investments, as well as the amortization of deferred issuance costs in the current year related to the termination of the 2030 Senior Notes and the original issuance discount and accrued redemption premium, the 2036 Senior Notes and the Term Loan Facility, partially offset by lower income tax provisions.
The company’s adjusted EBITDA grew 8.5% on an OCC basis in 2025, reportedly driven primarily by operating leverage on revenue growth and continued cost controls.
Verisk Chief Financial Officer Elizabeth Mann commented on the figures: “In the fourth quarter, Verisk delivered solid results, ending another strong year with growth and profitability consistent with our long-term growth objectives.
“Despite a number of temporary factors that negatively impacted growth, including very low levels of weather activity this year, Verisk delivered 2025 OCC revenue growth of 6.6%, OCC Adjusted EBITDA growth of 8.5%, and strong free cash flow growth.
“I’m pleased to report that our board of directors has approved an 11% increase in the dividend and increased share repurchase authorization, which we expect to implement in the near term through a $1.5 billion accelerated share repurchase program, demonstrating our confidence in our economic model and our commitment to capital returns.”
Verisk President and CEO Lee Shavel concluded, “Verisk’s strong fourth quarter results capped another year of growth and are consistent with our long-term financial goals.
“We enter 2026 with clear strategic momentum and capitalize on numerous opportunities to support clients in achieving their goals in a rapidly evolving environment.
“Leveraging our industry expertise, customer relationships and deep integrations, as well as proprietary and unparalleled data sets, we have deployed generative and agential AI solutions that our customers are using, and we believe we are uniquely positioned to create value for the industry and shareholders as we deploy this evolving technology.
“We remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term growth targets in 2026 and beyond.”
In related news, S&P Global Energy recently announced a new data-sharing partnership with Verisk to provide climate catastrophe exposure data and insights to the financial and insurance industries.
This partnership brings together the two companies’ differentiated data and will enable these industries to quantify the insured and uninsured financial impacts of future climate events and near-term natural disasters, creating a new industry benchmark for climate risk intelligence.
