MOODY’S CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(tabular dollar and share amounts in millions, except per share data)
NOTE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Moody’s is a global provider of integrated perspectives on risk that empowers organizations and investors to make better decisions. Moody’s reports in
two
reportable segments: MA and MIS.
MA comprises three interconnected businesses: i) Research & Insights, which provides credit research, economic analysis and scenario modeling used in investment, risk, and regulatory decisions; ii) Data & Information, which is powered by the world's largest database on companies and credit and serves as a critical input to financial analysis and AI model development/risk assessment; and iii) Decision Solutions, a set of cloud-based platforms embedding Moody's data and analytics directly into regulated banking, insurance, and KYC workflows. Together, these businesses benefit from deep customer integration, long-term subscription structures, and data assets that are proprietary in sourcing, breadth, and historical depth.
MIS publishes credit ratings and provides assessment services on a wide range of debt obligations, programs and facilities, and the entities that issue such obligations in markets worldwide, including various corporate, financial institution and governmental obligations, and structured finance securities.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2025 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any subsequent period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU No. 2024-03"). The amendments in this ASU require more detailed disclosures about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements (including employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization) and apply to both interim and annual reporting periods. ASU No. 2024-03 also requires disclosure of total selling expenses for both interim and annual reporting periods, with an additional requirement to provide an entity’s definition of selling expenses in annual reporting. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after the aforementioned effective dates or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU No. 2025-06"). This ASU eliminates prescriptive software development stages and requires capitalization of software costs when (1) management commits to funding the project, and (2) completion and intended use are probable, with consideration to when significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software no longer exists. This ASU also clarifies the disclosure requirements for internal-use software costs and supersedes prior guidance on website development costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may transition using prospective, modified prospective, or retrospective approaches. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Unbilled receivables, deferred revenue and remaining performance obligations
Unbilled receivables
For certain MA arrangements, the timing of when the Company has the unconditional right to consideration and recognizes revenue occurs prior to invoicing the customer. In addition, certain MIS arrangements contain contractual terms whereby the customers are billed in arrears for annual monitoring services, requiring revenue to be accrued as an unbilled receivable as such services are provided.
The following table presents the Company's unbilled receivables, which are included within accounts receivable, net, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Deferred revenue
The Company recognizes deferred revenue when a contract requires a customer to pay consideration to the Company in advance of when revenue related to that contract is recognized. This deferred revenue is relieved when the Company satisfies the related performance obligation and revenue is recognized.
Significant changes in the deferred revenue balances during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

Reflects adjustments to the deferred revenue balance that was disposed of pursuant to the divestiture of the MA Regulatory Solutions business, which was divested in the second quarter of 2026, as more fully discussed in Note 11.
For the MA segment, the decrease in deferred revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to the recognition of annual subscription billings, which occur in December and January. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the decrease in deferred revenue was primarily due to the recognition of annual subscriptions billed in the fourth quarter of 2025 and unfavorable effect of exchange rate changes. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in deferred revenue was primarily attributable to the favorable effect of exchange rate changes, partially offset by the recognition of annual subscriptions billed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the MIS segment, the change in the deferred revenue balance for all periods presented was primarily related to the significant portion of contract renewals that occur during the first quarter and are generally recognized over a one year period.
Remaining performance obligation
Remaining performance obligations in the MA segment include both amounts recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 as well as amounts not yet invoiced to customers as of June 30, 2026, largely reflecting future revenue related to signed multi-year arrangements for hosted and installed subscription-based products. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $
4.6
billion. The Company expects to recognize into revenue approximately
55
% of this balance within
one year
, approximately
25
% of this balance between
one
to
two years
and the remaining amount thereafter.
Remaining performance obligations in the MIS segment largely reflect deferred revenue related to monitoring fees for certain structured finance products, primarily CMBS, where the issuers can elect to pay the monitoring fees for the life of the security in advance. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $
90
million. The Company expects to recognize into revenue approximately
25
% of this balance within
one year
, approximately
55
% of this balance between
one
to
five years
and the remaining amount thereafter. With respect to the remaining performance obligations for the MIS segment, the Company has applied a practical expedient set forth in ASC Topic 606 permitting the omission of unsatisfied performance obligations relating to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

During the first half of 2026, the Company granted
0.1
million employee stock options, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $
133.17
per share. The Company also granted
0.5
million shares of restricted stock in the first half of 2026, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $
443.74
per share. Both the employee stock options and restricted stock generally vest ratably over
four years
. Additionally, the Company granted
0.1
million shares of performance-based awards whereby the number of shares that ultimately vest is based on the achievement of certain non-market-based performance metrics of the Company over
three years
. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $
431.10
per share.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in determining the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted in 2026:
Expected dividend yield
0.93
%
Expected stock volatility
27
%
Risk-free interest rate
3.74
%
Expected holding period

years
Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at June 30, 2026 was $
13
million and $
354
million for unvested stock options and restricted stock, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.9
years and
2.6
years, respectively. Additionally, there was $
61
million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to the aforementioned non-market-based performance-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
2.0
years.

INCOME TAXES
Moody’s ETR was
24.9
% and
25.0
% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was
24.5
%
and
23.6
% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year of
0.9
% primarily reflects lower Excess Tax Benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year. The Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes is computed by applying its estimated annual ETR to the pre-tax earnings, including the impact of the Excess Tax Benefits on stock-based compensation of $
19
million.
The Company classifies interest related to UTPs in interest expense, net in its consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized in other non-operating income, net. The Company had a net increase in its UTP reserves of

Moody’s is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination. Currently, the Company's New York State tax returns for 2022 through 2024 are under examination. Additionally, New York City tax returns for the years 2018 through 2022 are also under examination, while returns for 2023 and 2024 are open for examination. Furthermore, the Company's U.K. corporate income tax returns are under audit for the years 2017 through 2023, with the 2024 return still open for examination.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to global market risks, including risks from changes in FX rates and changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the Company uses derivatives in certain instances to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.
Derivatives and non-derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges:
Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to convert the fixed interest rate on certain of its long-term debt to a floating interest rate based on the SOFR. The purpose of these hedges is to mitigate the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the long-term debt, thus the Company has designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The fair value of the swaps is adjusted quarterly with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the debt. The changes in the fair value of the swaps and the underlying hedged item generally offset and the net cash settlements on the swaps are recorded each period within interest expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges:

Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges:
Foreign exchange forwards
The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value on certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency. These forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges under the applicable sections of ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized immediately in other non-operating income, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations along with the FX gain or loss recognized on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. These contracts have expiration dates at various times through December 2026.

NOTE 9.
RESTRUCTURING
On December 19, 2024, the CEO of Moody’s approved the Strategic and Operational Efficiency Restructuring Program, the scope of which was expanded in July 2026. The Company currently estimates that upon completion, the program will result in annualized savings of $
300
million to $
350
million. This program relates to the Company's strategy to realign its operations toward high priority growth areas and to foster operating efficiency/leverage via simplification of organizational structures and technology enablement. This program will primarily include a reduction in staff, the rationalization and exit of certain leased office spaces, the retirement of certain legacy software applications, and the exit of certain businesses and product offerings, including the divestiture of the MA Regulatory Solutions business. The program includes $
285
million to $
330
million of expected pre-tax personnel and related restructuring charges, an amount that includes severance and other costs primarily determined under the Company's existing severance plans, expense related to the modification of equity awards, and additional costs to support the execution of the restructuring program. In addition, the program is expected to result in $
5
million of non-cash charges from the exit from certain leased office spaces and $
10
million to $
15
million of non-cash charges related to incremental amortization of internally developed software due to a reduction in the useful life of the software assets. The savings generated from the Strategic and Operational Efficiency Restructuring Program are expected to strengthen the Company's operating margin, with a portion being deployed to support strategic investments. The Strategic and Operational Efficiency Restructuring Program is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2027. Cash outlays associated with this program are expected to be $
285
million to $
330
million, which are expected to be paid through 2028.
Total expense included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations relating to the aforementioned restructuring program is below:

Represents fair value of certain derivative contracts as more fully described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
The following are descriptions of the methodologies utilized by the Company to estimate the fair value of its derivative contracts, money market mutual funds and mutual funds:
Derivatives:
In determining the fair value of the derivative contracts in the table above, the Company utilizes industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using spot rates, forward points, currency volatilities, interest rates as well as the risk of non-performance of the Company and the counterparties with whom it has derivative contracts. The Company established strict counterparty credit guidelines and only enters into transactions with financial institutions that adhere to these guidelines. Accordingly, the risk of counterparty default is deemed to be minimal.
Money market funds and mutual funds:
The mutual funds in the table above are deemed to be equity securities with readily determinable fair values with changes in the fair value recognized through net income under ASC Topic 321. The fair value of these instruments is determined using Level 1 inputs as defined in the ASC Topic 820.

Gain on business divestitures:
MA Regulatory Solutions business
The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $
179
million in connection with the sale of the MA Regulatory Solutions business, which was completed in the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the transaction agreement provides for up to $
119
million of remaining contingent consideration, payable upon the achievement of certain post-closing conditions in the second half of 2026. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize contingent consideration related to the sale of a business as a gain contingency in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Under this policy, contingent consideration is excluded from the initial measurement of gain or loss upon the divestiture of a business and is recognized in earnings when the contingency is resolved and the consideration becomes realizable.
MA Learning Solutions business
The Company recorded an incremental $
2
million pre-tax gain resulting from customary post-close purchase price adjustments related to the MA Learning Solutions business, which was divested in the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result, the total pre-tax gain on the divestiture of the MA Learning Solutions business was $
25
million.

% of the leased floors, resulting in lease commencement for those floors. Accordingly, the related ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were recognized and are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.
The Company has not yet been granted access to the remaining leased floors. Accordingly, the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at June 30, 2026 do not yet reflect the amounts for those floors. The future minimum lease payments for those floors are approximately $
100
million.

NOTE 15.
CONTINGENCIES
Given the nature of the Company's activities, Moody’s and its subsidiaries are subject to legal and tax proceedings, governmental, regulatory and legislative investigations, subpoenas and other inquiries, and claims and litigation by governmental and private parties that are based on ratings assigned by MIS or that are otherwise incidental to the Company’s business. Moody’s and MIS also are subject to periodic reviews, inspections, examinations and investigations by regulators in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, any of which may result in claims, legal proceedings, assessments, fines, penalties or restrictions on business activities. Moody’s also is subject to ongoing tax audits as addressed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
Management periodically assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. For claims, litigation and proceedings and governmental investigations and inquiries not related to income taxes, the Company records liabilities in the consolidated financial statements when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated and periodically adjusts these as appropriate. When the reasonable estimate of the loss is within a range of amounts, the minimum amount of the range is accrued unless some higher amount within the range is a better estimate than another amount within the range. In instances when a loss is reasonably possible but uncertainties exist related to the probable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, management does not record a liability but discloses the contingency if material. As additional information becomes available, the Company adjusts its assessments and estimates of such matters accordingly. Moody’s also discloses material pending legal proceedings pursuant to SEC rules and other pending matters as it may determine to be appropriate.
In view of the inherent difficulty of assessing the potential outcome of legal proceedings, governmental, regulatory and legislative investigations and inquiries, claims and litigation and similar matters and contingencies, particularly when the claimants seek large or indeterminate damages or assert novel legal theories or the matters involve a large number of parties, the Company often cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be or the timing of any resolution of such matters. The Company also may be unable to predict the impact (if any) that any such matters may have on how its business is conducted, on its competitive position or on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As the process to resolve any pending matters progresses, management will continue to review the latest information available and assess its ability to predict the outcome of such matters and the effects, if any, on its operations and financial condition and to accrue for and disclose such matters as and when required. However, because such matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments or resolutions can occur, the ultimate outcome of such matters, including the amount of any loss, may differ from those estimates.
NOTE 16.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is organized into
two
operating segments: MA and MIS and accordingly, the Company reports in
two
reportable segments: MA and MIS.
Revenue for MA and expenses for MIS include an intersegment fee charged to MIS from MA for certain MA products and services utilized in MIS’s ratings process. Additionally, revenue for MIS and expenses for MA include intersegment fees charged to MA for the rights to use and distribute content, data and products developed by MIS. These intersegment fees are generally based on the market value of the products and services being transferred between the segments.
Overhead expenses include costs such as rent and occupancy, information technology and support staff such as finance, human resources and legal. Such costs and corporate expenses that exclusively benefit one segment are fully charged to that segment.
For overhead costs and corporate expenses that benefit both segments, costs are generally allocated to each segment based on historical/budgeted revenue amounts.
“Eliminations” in the following table represent intersegment revenue/expense. Moody’s does not report the Company’s assets by reportable segment, as this metric is not used by the CODM to allocate resources to the segments. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by reportable segment.
Financial Information by Segment
The table below shows revenue, significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM and Adjusted Operating Income by reportable segment. The CODM, identified as the Company's CEO, utilizes the Adjusted Operating Income measure to assess the profitability of the Company and each of its reportable segments each quarter. Adjusted Operating Income is used in our budgeting and forecasting process, enabling the allocation of capital resources across the Company's strategic initiatives.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Moody’s Corporation consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10
–
Q.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains Forward-Looking Statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” commencing on page
84
for a discussion of uncertainties, risks and other factors associated with these statements.
THE COMPANY
In a world shaped by increasingly interconnected risks, Moody's data, insights, and innovative technologies help customers develop a holistic view of their world and unlock opportunities. Moody’s offerings are distinguished by our vast proprietary and curated data and validated analytical models, which provide the trusted foundation that enables our customers to navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. Moody’s solutions enable the transformation of information into decision-grade intelligence, which is deeply interconnected across risk domains. Moody's also offers valuable insights into financial stability and creditworthiness for organizations, debt instruments, and securities, serving a key role in bringing transparency to the global debt markets. With a rich history of experience in global markets and a diverse workforce of approximately 16,000 across more than 40 countries, Moody's gives customers the comprehensive perspective needed to act with confidence and thrive in a dynamic global environment. Moody’s has two reportable segments: MA and MIS.
Moody's Analytics
Moody's Investors Service
MA provides curated data, intelligence and analytical tools to help business and financial leaders make confident decisions.
For more than 115 years, MIS has been a leading provider of credit ratings, research, and risk analysis helping businesses, governments, and other entities around the globe.
MA comprises three interconnected businesses: i) Research & Insights, which provides credit research, economic analysis and scenario modeling used in investment, risk, and regulatory decisions; ii) Data & Information, which is powered by the world's largest database on companies and credit and serves as a critical input to financial analysis and AI model development/risk assessment; and iii) Decision Solutions, a set of cloud-based platforms embedding Moody's data and analytics directly into regulated banking, insurance, and KYC workflows. Together, these businesses benefit from deep customer integration, long-term subscription structures, and data assets that are proprietary in sourcing, breadth, and historical depth.
MIS publishes credit ratings and provides assessment services on a wide range of debt obligations, programs and facilities, and the entities that issue such obligations in markets worldwide, including various corporate, financial institution and governmental obligations, and structured finance securities.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Moody’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Moody’s to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, Moody’s evaluates its estimates, including those related to goodwill and other acquired intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefits, investments in non-consolidated affiliates, income taxes, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Item 7, MD&A, in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, includes descriptions of some of the judgments that Moody’s makes in applying its accounting estimates in these areas. Since the date of the annual report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates disclosures.
Reportable Segments
The Company is organized into two reportable segments as of June 30, 2026: MA and MIS, which are more fully described in the section entitled “The Company” above and in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Moody's remains committed to using its cash flow to create value for shareholders by both investing in the Company's employees and growing the business through targeted organic initiatives and inorganic acquisitions aligned with strategic priorities. Additional excess capital is returned to the Company’s shareholders via a combination of dividends and share repurchases.
Cash Flow
The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s cash flows followed by a brief discussion of these changes:

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash paid for capital expenditures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” of this MD&A for further information on this financial measure.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $418 million compared to the same period in 2025, with the most notable drivers reflecting:
–
growth in operating income of $304 million coupled with various changes in working capital; and
–
approximately $70 million in lower incentive compensation payments in 2026 (based on full-year 2025 financial and operating results) compared to payments made in the prior year (based on full-year 2024 financial and operating results).
Net cash provided by investing activities
The $77 million decrease in cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to:
–
a $473 million decrease in sales and maturities of investments primarily due to the maturity of certificates of deposit in the first quarter of 2025, of which the proceeds were used to repay notes payable in the prior year;
partially offset by:
–
cash received from the divestiture of businesses (net of cash transferred to the purchaser) of $200 million, primarily relating to the sale of the MA Regulatory Solutions business in the second quarter of 2026; and
–
lower cash paid for acquisitions (net of cash acquired) of $200 million, primarily due to amounts paid for the acquisition of CAPE Analytics in the first quarter of 2025.
Net cash used in financing activities
The $849 million increase in cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributed to:
–
higher cash paid for treasury share repurchases in 2026 of $1.5 billion compared to the same period in the prior year;
partially offset by:
–
a $700 million repayment of notes payable in the prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
The Company’s aggregate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.5 billion at June 30, 2026 included approximately $1.1 billion located outside of the U.S. Approximately 21% of the Company’s aggregate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments is denominated in euro and GBP. The Company manages both its U.S. and non-U.S. cash flow to maintain sufficient liquidity in all regions to effectively meet its operating needs.
The Company regularly evaluates which entities will indefinitely reinvest earnings outside the U.S. The Company has provided deferred taxes for those entities whose earnings are not considered indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, the Company continues to repatriate a portion of its non-U.S. cash in these subsidiaries and will continue to repatriate certain of its offshore cash in a manner that addresses compliance with local statutory requirements, sufficient offshore working capital and any other factors that may be relevant in certain jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the Tax Act, which generally eliminated federal income tax on future cash repatriation to the U.S., cash repatriation may be subject to state and local taxes or withholding or similar taxes.

Material Cash Requirements
The Company's material cash requirements consist of the following contractual and other obligations:
Financing Arrangements
Indebtedness
At June 30, 2026, Moody’s had $7.1 billion of outstanding principal on debt and $1 billion of additional capacity available under the Company’s CP Program, which is backstopped by the $1.25 billion 2024 Facility.
The repayment schedule for the Company’s borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2026 is as follows:
For additional information on the Company's outstanding debt, refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
Future interest payments and fees associated with the Company's debt and credit facility are expected to be $3.4 billion, of which approximately $200 million is expected to be paid in each of the next five years, and the remaining amount expected to be paid thereafter.
Management may consider pursuing additional long-term financing when it is appropriate in light of cash requirements for operations, share repurchases and other strategic opportunities, which could result in higher financing costs.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations generally include multi-year agreements with vendors to purchase goods or services and mainly include data center/cloud hosting fees and fees for information technology licensing and maintenance. As of June 30, 2026, these purchase obligations totaled approximately $1.3 billion, of which approximately 35% is expected to be paid in the next twelve months and another approximate 45% is expected to be paid over the next two subsequent years, with the remainder to be paid thereafter.
Leases
The Company has remaining payments relating to its operating leases of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2026, primarily related to real estate leases, of which $100 million in payments are expected over the next twelve months. For more information on the expected cash flows relating to the Company's operating leases, refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
Pension and Other Retirement Plan Obligations
The Company does not anticipate making significant contributions to its funded pension plan in the next twelve months. This plan is overfunded at June 30, 2026, and accordingly holds sufficient investments to fund future benefit obligations. Payments for the Company's unfunded plans are not expected to be material in either the short or long-term.
Dividends and share repurchases
On July 21, 2026, the Board approved the declaration of a quarterly dividend of $1.03 per share for Moody’s common stock, payable September 4, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2026. The continued payment of dividends at this rate, or at all, is subject to the discretion of the Board.
On October 21, 2025, the Board approved $4.0 billion in share repurchase authority. At June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $1.8 billion of remaining authority under this authorization.
76

s
Restructuring
As more fully discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently in the process of executing the Strategic and Operational Efficiency Restructuring Program. Future cash outlays associated with this program are expected to be approximately $130 million to $175 million, which are expected to be paid out through 2028.
Sources of Funding to Satisfy Material Cash Requirements
The Company believes that it has the financial resources needed to meet its cash requirements and expects to have positive operating cash flow over the next twelve months. Cash requirements for periods beyond the next twelve months will depend, among other things, on the Company’s profitability and its ability to manage working capital requirements. The Company may also borrow from various sources as described above.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to its reported results, Moody’s has included in this MD&A certain adjusted results that the SEC defines as “Non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes that such adjusted financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s performance, facilitate comparisons to competitors’ operating results and can provide greater transparency to investors of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These adjusted measures, as defined by the Company, are not necessarily comparable to similarly defined measures of other companies. Furthermore, these adjusted measures should not be viewed in isolation or used as a substitute for other GAAP measures in assessing the operating performance or cash flows of the Company. Below are brief descriptions of the Company’s adjusted financial measures accompanied by a reconciliation of the adjusted measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin
:
The Company presents Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin because management deems these metrics to be useful measures to provide additional perspective on Moody's operating performance. Adjusted Operating Income excludes the impact of: i) depreciation and amortization; ii) restructuring charges/adjustments; iii) a reserve for an international non-income tax obligation; iv) Duplicate Rent expense incurred during the build-out and transition to the Company's new New York City headquarters; and v) charges related to asset abandonment. Depreciation and amortization are excluded because companies utilize productive assets of different estimated useful lives and use different methods of acquiring and depreciating productive assets. Restructuring charges/adjustments and charges related to asset abandonment, which the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating cost structure, are excluded as the frequency and magnitude of these charges may vary widely across periods and companies. The reserve for an international non-income tax obligation is excluded because the Company believes it is not indicative of its ongoing operating cost structure. Duplicate Rent expense incurred during the build-out and transition to the Company's new New York City headquarters is excluded because it relates to an infrequent corporate headquarters relocation and is not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating cost structure.
Management believes that the exclusion of the aforementioned items, as detailed in the reconciliation below, allows for an additional perspective on the Company’s operating results from period to period and across companies. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Margin as Adjusted Operating Income divided by revenue.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS attributable to Moody's common shareholders:
The Company presents Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS because management deems these metrics to be useful measures to provide additional perspective on Moody’s operating performance. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS exclude the impact of: i) amortization of acquired intangible assets; ii) restructuring charges/adjustments; iii) a reserve for an international non-income tax obligation and related interest and penalties; iv) charges related to asset abandonment; v) Duplicate Rent expense incurred during the build-out and transition to the Company's new New York City headquarters; and vi) gain on business divestitures.
The Company excludes the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets as companies utilize intangible assets with different estimated useful lives and have different methods of acquiring and amortizing intangible assets. These intangible assets were recorded as part of acquisition accounting and contribute to revenue generation. The amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Furthermore, the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets and the related amortization period are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from period to period and across companies. Restructuring charges/adjustments and charges related to asset abandonment, which the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating cost structure, are excluded as the frequency and magnitude of these items may vary widely across periods and companies. The reserve for an international non-income tax obligation and related interest and penalties are excluded because the Company believes they are not indicative of its ongoing operating cost structure. Duplicate Rent expense incurred during the build-out and transition to the Company's new New York City headquarters is excluded because it relates to an infrequent corporate headquarters relocation and is not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating cost structure. Gain on business divestitures are excluded due to their infrequent nature and because they do not reflect the Company's ongoing operations.
The Company excludes the aforementioned items to provide additional perspective when comparing net income and diluted EPS from period to period and across companies as the frequency and magnitude of similar transactions may vary widely across periods.

Free Cash Flow
:
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash paid for capital additions. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful metric in assessing the Company’s cash flows to service debt, pay dividends and to fund acquisitions and share repurchases. Management deems capital expenditures essential to the Company’s product and service innovations and maintenance of Moody’s operational capabilities. Accordingly, capital expenditures are deemed to be a recurring use of Moody’s cash flow. Below is a reconciliation of the Company’s net cash flows from operating activities to Free Cash Flow:

Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth (Decline):
The Company presents organic constant currency revenue growth as its non-GAAP measure of revenue growth. Management deems this measure to be useful in providing additional perspective in assessing the Company's revenue growth excluding both the inorganic revenue impacts from certain acquisition and divestiture activity completed within the last 12 months and the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company calculates the dollar impact of foreign exchange as the difference between the translation of its current period non-USD functional currency results using comparative prior period weighted average foreign exchange translation rates and current year reported results.
Below is a reconciliation of the Company's reported revenue and growth (decline) rates to its organic constant currency revenue growth (decline) measures:

Key Performance Metrics:
The Company presents ARR on an organic constant currency basis for its MA business as a supplemental performance metric to provide additional insight on the estimated value of MA's recurring revenue contracts at a given point in time. The Company uses ARR to manage and monitor performance of its MA operating segment and believes that this metric is a key indicator of the trajectory of MA's recurring revenue base.
The Company calculates ARR by taking the total recurring contract value for each active renewable contract as of the reporting date, divided by the number of days in the contract and multiplied by 365 days to create an annualized value. The Company defines renewable contracts as subscriptions, term licenses, maintenance and renewable services. ARR excludes transaction sales including one-time training, services and perpetual licenses. In order to compare period-over-period ARR excluding the effects of foreign currency translation, the Company bases the calculation on currency rates utilized in its current year operating budget and holds these FX rates constant for the duration of all current and prior periods being reported. Additionally, to provide better perspective in assessing growth, the Company excludes from ARR contracts associated with acquisitions and divestitures completed within the last 12 months.
The Company’s definition of ARR may differ from definitions utilized by other companies reporting similarly named measures, and this metric should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements located in Part I of this Form 10-Q for a discussion on the impact to the Company relating to recently issued accounting pronouncements.
CONTINGENCIES
Legal proceedings in which the Company is involved also may impact Moody’s liquidity or operating results. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Item 1 - "Financial Statements," Note 15 "Contingencies” in this Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements and are based on future expectations, plans and prospects for the Company's business and operations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve estimates, projections, goals, forecasts, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Those statements appear at various places throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including in the sections entitled “Contingencies” under Item 2, “MD&A,” commencing on page
42
of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, under “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, and elsewhere in the context of statements containing the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “strategy,” “aspire,” “target,” “forecast,” “project,” “estimate,” “should,” “could,” “may,” and similar expressions or words and variations thereof relating to the Company’s views on future events, trends and contingencies or otherwise convey the prospective nature of events or outcomes generally indicative of forward-looking statements. Stockholders and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and other information in this document are made as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and the Company undertakes no obligation (nor does it intend) to publicly supplement, update or revise such statements on a going-forward basis, whether as a result of subsequent developments, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulation. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is identifying certain factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Those factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
–
the uncertain effects of U.S. and foreign government actions affecting international trade and economic policy, including changes and volatility in tariffs and trade policies and retaliatory actions, on credit markets, customers, and customer retention, and demand for our products and services;
–
the impact of general economic conditions (including significant government debt and deficit levels and inflation or recessions and related monetary policy actions by governments in response thereto) on worldwide credit markets and on economic activity, including on the level of merger and acquisition activity, and their effects on the volume of debt and other securities issued in domestic and/or global capital markets;
–
the uncertain effects of U.S. and foreign government initiatives and monetary policy to respond to the current economic climate, including instability of financial institutions, credit quality concerns, and other potential impacts of volatility in financial and credit markets;
–
the impacts of geopolitical events and actions, such as the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, military conflicts in the Middle East, and tensions between India and Pakistan, and of tensions and disputes in political and global relations, on volatility in world financial markets, on general economic conditions and GDP in the U.S. and worldwide and on the Company's own operations and personnel;
–
other matters that could affect the volume of debt and other securities issued in domestic and/or global capital markets, including regulation, increased utilization of technologies that have the potential to intensify competition and accelerate disruption and disintermediation in the financial services industry, as well as the number of issuances of securities without ratings or securities which are rated or evaluated by non-traditional parties;
–
the level of merger and acquisition activity in the U.S. and abroad;
–
the impact of MIS’s withdrawal of its credit ratings on countries or entities within countries and of Moody’s no longer conducting commercial operations in countries where political instability warrants such actions;
–
concerns in the marketplace affecting our credibility or otherwise affecting market perceptions of the integrity or utility of independent credit agency ratings;
–
the introduction or development of competing and/or emerging technologies and products;
–
pricing pressure from competitors and/or customers;
–
the level of success of new product development and global expansion;
–
the impact of regulation as an NRSRO, the potential for new U.S., state and local legislation and regulations;
–
the potential for increased competition and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the EU;

Table of Contents
–
exposure to litigation related to our rating opinions, as well as any other litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries to which Moody’s may be subject from time to time;
–
provisions in U.S. legislation modifying the pleading standards and EU regulations modifying the liability standards, applicable to CRAs in a manner adverse to CRAs;
–
provisions of EU regulations imposing additional procedural and substantive requirements on the pricing of services and the expansion of supervisory remit to include non-EU ratings used for regulatory purposes;
–
uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the U.S. and China;
–
the possible loss of key employees and the impact of the global labor environment;

any vulnerabilities to cyber threats or other cybersecurity concerns;
–
the timing and effectiveness of our restructuring programs;

–
exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil remedies if Moody’s fails to comply with foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which Moody’s operates, including data protection and privacy laws, sanctions laws, anti-corruption laws, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials;
–
the impact of mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations and the ability of Moody’s to successfully integrate acquired businesses;
–
the level of future cash flows;
–
the levels of capital investments; and
–
a decline in the demand for credit risk management tools by financial institutions, corporate or government entities.
These factors, risks and uncertainties as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause Moody’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements are described in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Moody’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other filings made by the Company from time to time with the SEC or in materials incorporated herein or therein. Stockholders and investors are cautioned that the occurrence of any of these factors, risks and uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. New factors may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict new factors, nor can the Company assess the potential effect of any new factors on it. Forward-looking and other statements in this document may also address our corporate responsibility progress, plans, and goals (including sustainability and environmental matters), and the inclusion of such statements is not an indication that these contents are necessarily material to investors or required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into new cross-currency swap hedging transactions designated as net investment hedges, which are disclosed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. The related sensitivity analysis disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for our derivatives and non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges has been updated below to reflect the Company's exposure to market risk as of June 30, 2026. There have been no material changes to the Company's market risk other than the aforementioned cross-currency swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2026. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Derivatives and non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges:
The Company designates derivative instruments and foreign currency-denominated debt as hedges of foreign currency risk of net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries (net investment hedges) under ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
.
Cross-currency swaps
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges to mitigate FX exposure related to a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries against changes in exchange rates. The notional values and corresponding interest rates are disclosed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
•
If the euro were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $450 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
•
If the Hong Kong dollar were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $50 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
•
If the Singapore dollar were to strengthen 10% relative to the Hong Kong dollar, there would be an approximate $30 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
The aforementioned unfavorable impacts recognized within OCI would be offset by favorable currency translation gains on the Company’s hedged net investments in those foreign subsidiaries.
Euro-denominated debt
As of June 30, 2026 the Company has designated €500 million of the 2015 Senior Notes and €750 million of the 2019 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge to mitigate FX exposure relating to euro denominated net investments in subsidiaries. If the euro were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $140 million unfavorable adjustment to OCI related to these net investment hedges. This adjustment would be offset by favorable translation adjustments on the Company’s euro net investment in subsidiaries.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the communication to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has determined that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.
The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. The Company's management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all instances of error and fraud. Any control system, regardless of how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
