Expenses and Adjusted EBITDA
Cost of revenue increased 13.2% compared with second-quarter 2014. Cost of revenue, excluding recent acquisitions and non-recurring items related to the acquisition of Wood Mackenzie, increased 0.9%. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to investments in people in support of business growth, largely offset by lower pass-through data costs at Verisk Health in the quarter.
Selling, general, and administrative expense, or SG&A, increased 60.0% in the quarter. SG&A, excluding recent acquisitions and non-recurring items related to the acquisition of Wood Mackenzie, declined 0.4% because of lower professional services fees and good expense management.
Income from continuing operations increased 85.4% to $163.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 22.3%. Excluding acquisitions, Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.9% in the quarter.
The 32.1% increase in Decision Analytics Adjusted EBITDA to $136.1 million was the result of growth in the business and improved operations, particularly at Verisk Health. Decision Analytics Adjusted EBITDA, excluding acquisitions, grew 20.1%.
The second-quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA in Risk Assessment increased 11.3% to $101.5 million as a result of revenue growth and good expense management, including lower people-related costs following the fourth-quarter 2014 talent realignment.

Adjusted EPS
GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.97. Diluted adjusted earnings per share excluding non-recurring items (adjusted EPS) were $0.77 for second-quarter 2015, an increase of 35.1% compared with the same period in 2014. Adjusted EPS increased because of strong operations, both organic and acquired. The increase also reflected a lower share count due in part to the December 2014 accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, partially offset by equity issuance in the quarter. The increases were partially offset by higher fixed asset depreciation and amortization expense and higher interest costs related to new debt issuance.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, increased 40.0% to $295.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, including the contribution from acquisitions. This represented 65.1% of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Capital expenditures decreased 20.7% to $60.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Capital expenditures were 6.3% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Capital Allocation
Consistent with Verisk`s established strategy, the company continued its program of internal investment, acquisition initiatives, and share repurchases.
· The company completed the $2.8 billion acquisition of Wood Mackenzie on May 19, 2015.
· To fund the acquisition of Wood Mackenzie, the company issued 10.6 million shares of stock for $722 million, $1.25 billion of bonds, and $1 billion of borrowings under the $1.75 billion revolver.
· The December 2014 ASR completed during the quarter. As a result, an additional 0.8 million shares were delivered to the company. The $500 million ASR resulted in the repurchase of 7.2 million shares at an average price of $69.62. At June 30, 2015, the company had $189.8 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

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. 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 Verisk`s 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
The company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information regarding its 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. The company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow, provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the company`s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the company and for budgeting and planning purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. In all periods shown here and going forward, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets and excluding second quarter non-recurring items related to the Wood Mackenzie acquisition.
Although securities analysts, lenders, and others frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of companies, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our statement of cash flow reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional U.S. GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
Although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of their calculations as comparative measures.
