Current report

The effective tax rates for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were both favorably impacted by the recording of excess tax benefits relating to stock awards. The impact is dependent upon grants of share-based compensation and the future stock price in relation to the fair value of awards on the grant date. The decrease in stock price for awards that vested in December 2025 resulted in a decreased net excess tax benefit for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Previous report

The year-to-date period-over-period increase in cost of revenues of $3.9 million was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million increase in infrastructure and facilities costs, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in outside services costs and a $1.5 million decrease in personnel and labor costs. The increase in infrastructure and facilities costs was primarily attributable to an increase in third-party data center hosting costs and an increase in depreciation on data center computer hardware. The decrease in outside services costs was primarily attributable to decreased third-party contractor costs. The decrease in personnel and labor costs was primarily attributable to decreased incentive expense and headcount. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 18% during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 from 21% during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increased sales of our higher-margin Scores products.

Previous report

The year-to-date period-over-period increase in research and development expenses of $9.7 million was primarily attributable to a $5.5 million increase in outside services costs and a $4.0 million increase in infrastructure and facilities costs.

The increase in personnel and labor costs was primarily attributable to increased share-based compensation expense, headcount, market base-pay adjustments, and commission expense, partially offset by decreased fringe benefits costs related to our supplemental retirement and savings plan. The increase in advertising and other promotional expenses was primarily attributable to increased costs for advertising campaigns and corporate events. The increase in non-income tax costs was attributable to a foreign tax law change related to transfer pricing, effective during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, that impacted a non-U.S. subsidiary. The increase in travel costs was primarily attributable to promotional and corporate events. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 26% during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 from 27% during the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $189.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, which included $121.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe our cash and cash equivalents balances, including those held by our foreign subsidiaries, as well as available borrowings from our $1.0 billion revolving line of credit and anticipated cash flows from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our working and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future, including the $400.0 million principal payment on the 2018 Senior Notes (as defined below) due over the next 12 months. Under our current financing arrangements, we have no other significant debt obligations maturing over the next 12 months.

On May 13, 2025, we amended our credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, increasing our borrowing capacity under the unsecured revolving line of credit from $600 million to $1.0 billion and extending its maturity to May 13, 2030. Also on May 13, 2025, we repaid in full and terminated the $300 million unsecured term loan (the “$300 Million Term Loan”) and the $450 million unsecured term loan (the “$450 Million Term Loan”) outstanding under our credit agreement, utilizing proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes (as defined below). Borrowings under the revolving line of credit can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and may also be used for the refinancing of existing debt, acquisitions, and the repurchase of our common stock. Interest rates on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit are based on (i) an adjusted base rate, which is the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, and (c) the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin, (ii) the Daily Simple SOFR plus an applicable margin (or, if such rate is no longer available, a successor benchmark rate determined in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement), or (iii) term SOFR (without a credit spread adjustment) plus an applicable margin (or, if such rate is no longer available, a successor benchmark rate determined in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement). The applicable margin for base rate borrowings and for SOFR borrowings is determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings ranges from 0% to 0.75% per annum and for SOFR borrowings ranges from 1% to 1.75% per annum. In addition, we must pay certain credit facility fees. The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0, subject to a step up to 4.0 to 1.0 following certain permitted acquisitions and subject to certain conditions, and contains other covenants typical of an unsecured credit facility.
