When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. Below: what the staff asked VRSK, and the company's answer to each question, quoted from the letters. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

SEC asked (1)
We note several instances where you present non-GAAP measures with undue prominence For example, in Table 1 you disclose Adjusted EBITDA before Net Income, the comparable GAAP measure. Please ensure that the comparable GAAP measures are presented and discussed before the non-GAAP measures. Refer to Question 102.10 of the Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
VRSK answered
In future filings, we will revise our presentation of non-GAAP measures and ensure that comparable GAAP measures are presented and discussed before the non-GAAP measures. Read in the reply ↗

SEC asked (4)
We note that you present segment adjusted EBITDA and margin. Revise to reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, segment EBITDA and segment EBITDA margin. Please note that the reconciliations throughout the Form 8-K should begin with the comparable GAAP measure so your non- GAAP measures do not receive undue prominence.
Rest of the question

Also, ensure that your disclosure of segment adjusted EBITDA throughout the filing is preceded by disclosure of segment

VRSK answered
In future filings, we will reconcile segment adjusted EBITDA and margin to segment EBITDA and segment EBITDA margin. We will also ensure that the reconciliations throughout the Form 8-K will begin with the comparable GAAP measures so that non-GAAP measures do not receive undue prominence. In addition, we will ensure that our disclosure of segment adjusted EBITDA throughout the filing is preceded by the disclosure of segment EBITDA. Read in the reply ↗

From the SEC's correspondence on EDGAR: staff letters (form UPLOAD) and company letters (form CORRESP), 3 letters filed since 2019-06-27. Questions and answers are matched by their numbers; topics come from words in each question. The reports are compared word for word (same form, before the first SEC letter against the first report after the company's reply). No AI.
