Head of Investor Relations

Thank you. Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. I'm Shivani Kak, Head of Investor Relations. This morning, Moody's released its results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 as well as our guidance for 2026. The earnings press release and the presentation to accompany this teleconference are both available on our website at ir.moodys.com. During this call, we will also be presenting non-GAAP or adjusted figures.

Please refer to the tables at the end of our earnings press release filed this morning for reconciliations between all adjusted measures referenced during this call in U.S. GAAP. I call your attention to the safe harbor language, which can be found towards the end of our earnings release.

In accordance with the act, I also direct your attention to the Management's Discussion and Analysis section and the risk factors discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in other SEC filings made by the company, which are available on our website and on the SEC's website. These, together with the safe harbor statement, set forth important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statements.

Thanks, Shivani, and thanks, everybody, for joining today's call. I'm going to start with the highlights. And 2025 was a record year for Moody's. It was driven by consistent execution against the long-term demand trends that we've discussed over the last several years. And we finished the year with strong fourth quarter performance across both Ratings and Analytics and delivered robust growth and meaningful capital returns to shareholders.

Now we're scaling decision-grade contextual intelligence embedded directly into customer workflows across our platforms, third-party systems and AI-enabled interfaces so that we're present where critical decisions get made. And as technology and the ways of working continue to evolve, we enter 2026 well positioned and confident in the opportunities ahead. Now we had strong top line performance across the company in 2025. Total revenue exceeded $7.7 billion. That was up 9% year-over-year and 9% in both Ratings and Analytics. We expanded adjusted operating margin to 51.1%. That was up 300 basis points as we drive further operating leverage into the business.ํ˜„์žฌ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰์˜ ์ƒํ™ฉ๋ณ„ ์ธํ…”๋ฆฌ์ „์Šค๋ฅผ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ, ํƒ€์‚ฌ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์ธํ„ฐํŽ˜์ด์Šค ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์›Œํฌํ”Œ๋กœ์šฐ์— ์ง์ ‘ ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ, ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ •์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ณณ์— ํ•จ๊ป˜ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๊ทธ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋ฅผ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธฐ์ˆ ๊ณผ ์—…๋ฌด ๋ฐฉ์‹์ด ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ฐœ์ „ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026๋…„์„ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ์ž…์ง€๋ฅผ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์•ž์œผ๋กœ์˜ ๊ธฐํšŒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ๋งž์ดํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And these results are being driven by sustained customer demand for our decision grade data analytics and insights amidst very large funding needs, greater market complexity, heightened risk and resilience needs and compliance requirements. Now adjusted EPS -- sorry, adjusted diluted EPS reached a record $14.94, that was up 20% year-over-year. And that represents a 70% earnings growth over the past 3 years. So it's something like a 20% CAGR since 2022. Now let me turn to Ratings. And issuance and investment cycles came together very powerfully in the fourth quarter, resulted in the busiest fourth quarter in our history.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹ค์ ์€ ๋งค์šฐ ํฐ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ ์ˆ˜์š”, ์‹œ์žฅ ๋ณต์žก์„ฑ ์ฆ๊ฐ€, ๊ณ ์กฐ๋˜๋Š” ์œ„ํ—˜ ๋ฐ ํšŒ๋ณต๋ ฅ ์š”๊ตฌ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ทœ์ œ ์ค€์ˆ˜ ์š”๊ฑด ์†์—์„œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ๋ถ„์„ ๋ฐ ํ†ต์ฐฐ๋ ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์š”์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And the investments that we've made over several years have really positioned us to capitalize on this activity and that drove record revenue this past year. In 2025, we rated $6.6 trillion of debt. That was an all-time high, supporting investment across infrastructure, AI-driven data centers, energy finance -- energy transition finance and private credit. And in the fourth quarter alone, we rated more than $70 billion of issuance for companies, including Alphabet, Amazon and Meta, in part related to their AI investment programs. Now Moody's was named Best Credit Rating Agency in the U.S. by Extel again.์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•ด์˜จ ํˆฌ์ž๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ™œ๋™์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ•ด ์ฃผ์—ˆ๊ณ , ์ด๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ ํ•œ ํ•ด ๊ธฐ๋ก์ ์ธ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์— ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 6์กฐ 6์ฒœ์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ฑ„๊ถŒ์— ์‹ ์šฉ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰์„ ๋ถ€์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์—ญ๋Œ€ ์ตœ๊ณ ์น˜์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ธํ”„๋ผ, AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ผํ„ฐ, ์—๋„ˆ์ง€ ๊ธˆ์œต โ€” ์—๋„ˆ์ง€ ์ „ํ™˜ ๊ธˆ์œต, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹ ์šฉ ์ „๋ฐ˜์˜ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋งŒ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•ŒํŒŒ๋ฒณ, ์•„๋งˆ์กด, ๋ฉ”ํƒ€๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์˜ 700์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ๋ฐœํ–‰์•ก์— ์‹ ์šฉ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰์„ ๋ถ€์—ฌํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋“ค ๊ธฐ์—…์˜ AI ํˆฌ์ž ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋ฌด๋””์Šค๋Š” Extel๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ์‹ ์šฉํ‰๊ฐ€๊ธฐ๊ด€์œผ๋กœ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ์„ ์ •๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
That's for the 14th consecutive year, and that really reflects our role at the forefront of global debt markets. In December, we issued a Request for Comment on a cross-sector Stablecoin rating methodology. And as the use of tokenized cash continues to accelerate, the total value of issued Stablecoins is forecasted to reach $400 billion by the end of 2026 and $2 trillion by 2028.

Private credit revenue in MIS grew by nearly 60% in 2025, reflecting both market growth and our expanding role in the sector. And we developed new methodologies and deepened our analytical and commercial engagement to capture rising demand for transparent, independent credit assessment. And that momentum is translating into tangible wins. Last year, we were the sole rating agency on the largest private credit CLO of the year, a $1.5 billion issuance by Blackstone. Now pivoting to Moody's Analytics. We finished 2025 on a strong note there as well. We delivered net growth that outpaced the fourth quarter of 2024.MIS ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹ ์šฉ(Private credit) ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 2025๋…„์— ์•ฝ 60% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์—ญํ•  ํ™•๋Œ€ ๋ชจ๋‘๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ํˆฌ๋ช…ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋…๋ฆฝ์ ์ธ ์‹ ์šฉ ํ‰๊ฐ€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•๋ก ์„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ•˜๊ณ  ๋ถ„์„ ๋ฐ ์ƒ์—…์  ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ์‹ฌํ™”ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์€ ๊ฐ€์‹œ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋…„์— ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ๋ธ”๋ž™์Šคํ†ค์ด ๋ฐœํ–‰ํ•œ 15์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜, ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹ ์šฉ CLO์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์œ ์ผํ•œ ์‹ ์šฉ ํ‰๊ฐ€ ๊ธฐ๊ด€์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And this performance included meaningful contributions from our highest priority growth areas. That includes our lending and credit decisioning solutions as well as decision-grade KYC data. We also closed the year with strong momentum in AI-related sales, ranging from specialized workflow agents to AI-ready data sets, and I'm going to talk about that in just a few minutes. Importantly, our strongest growth came from our largest strategic customers. These customers contributed over 30% of the total MA net growth in the fourth quarter and for the full year, grew at twice the rate of the rest of the MA customer base.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹ค์ ์—๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ตœ์šฐ์„  ์„ฑ์žฅ ์˜์—ญ์˜ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋Œ€์ถœ ๋ฐ ์‹ ์šฉ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰์˜ KYC ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ „๋ฌธํ™”๋œ ์›Œํฌํ”Œ๋กœ์šฐ ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ AI ์ค€๋น„ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ธํŠธ์— ์ด๋ฅด๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€ AI ๊ด€๋ จ ๋งค์ถœ์—์„œ ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์ž ์‹œ ํ›„์— ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ฃผ์š” ์ „๋žต ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋น„๋กฏ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ „์ฒด MA ์ˆœ์„ฑ์žฅ์˜ 30% ์ด์ƒ์„ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ๋‚˜๋จธ์ง€ MA ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ธต๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‘ ๋ฐฐ ๋น ๋ฅธ ์†๋„๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So this is durable high-quality growth with clear evidence of customer adoption. And I want to emphasize durable because the nature of MA's revenue growth is increasingly recurring and scalable, so recurring revenue grew 11% and represented 97% of fourth quarter revenue. So this, combined with some real execution discipline, enabled us to deliver 190 basis points of margin expansion and an adjusted margin of almost 36% in the fourth quarter. We set our focus on scaling MA's recurring revenue base a few years ago. And now we're making further proactive adjustments to our portfolio to reinforce that strategy.์ด๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ฑ„ํƒ์ด ๋ช…ํ™•ํžˆ ์ž…์ฆ๋œ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €๋Š” '๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•จ'์„ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™œ๋ƒํ•˜๋ฉด MA์˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ ์  ๋” ๋ฐ˜๋ณต์ ์ด๊ณ  ํ™•์žฅ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๊ฒฝ์ƒ ๋งค์ถœ(recurring revenue)์€ 11% ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜์—ฌ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 97%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ ์ด ์‹ค์ œ์ ์ธ ์‹คํ–‰ ๊ทœ์œจ๊ณผ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ๋˜๋ฉด์„œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 190bp(๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ)์˜ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ  4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ฑฐ์˜ 36%์— ๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ์กฐ์ • ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๋…„ ์ „๋ถ€ํ„ฐ MA์˜ ๊ฒฝ์ƒ ๋งค์ถœ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ค‘์ ์„ ๋‘์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด์ œ ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ „๋žต์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ €ํฌ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์— ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ์„ ์ œ์  ์กฐ์ •์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So in December, we closed on the sale of our Learning Solutions business, that was primarily reported as transactional revenue, and it really was no longer core to our strategy. We also announced the sale of our regulatory reporting business which serve customers with relatively limited cross-sell opportunities across other banking offerings. And underpinning all of this is our commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions. And that commitment was reinforced by our recognition as the #1 provider in the Chartis RiskTech100 for the fourth consecutive year, and that reflects the trust that customers place in Moody's to support workflows and decisions that matter most.์ง€๋‚œ 12์›”, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ•™์Šต ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜ ์‚ฌ์—… ๋งค๊ฐ์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์ˆ˜์ต์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ ๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋” ์ด์ƒ ์ €ํฌ ์ „๋žต์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์€ํ–‰ ์ƒํ’ˆ๊ณผ์˜ ๊ต์ฐจ ํŒ๋งค ๊ธฐํšŒ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ œํ•œ์ ์ด์—ˆ๋˜ ๊ทœ์ œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋งค๊ฐ๋„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And we see that market recognition reflecting a broader truth that as AI becomes a new interface for decision-making, the need for trusted context increases, not decreases. AI systems require verifiable permission, domain-specific data and analytics to produce outputs that are accurate, explainable and defensible. That's exactly what Moody's provides, and it gives us the opportunity to become even more deeply embedded in customer workflows. So we see this clearly in recent customer behavior.๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์ธ์‹์ด ๋” ํฐ ์ง„์‹ค์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฆ‰, AI๊ฐ€ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ธํ„ฐํŽ˜์ด์Šค๊ฐ€ ๋จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋งฅ๋ฝ(context)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ•„์š”์„ฑ์ด ์ค„์–ด๋“ค๊ธฐ๋Š”์ปค๋…• ์˜คํžˆ๋ ค ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Customers who have purchased or upgraded into at least one stand-alone Gen AI or agentic solution are retained at a rate of 97% and are growing at roughly twice the rate of the rest of the customer base. So this is an experimental usage. AI adoption is driving greater consumption of our proprietary data, expanding our share of wallet and reinforcing long-term customer economics, particularly amongst our largest strategic accounts. And a key reason for adoption that it's accelerating is how customers consume our intelligence.

They've told us that it can generate roughly 35% to 40% of each memo and saves analyst hundreds and hundreds and thousands of hours of time, equating, in some cases, to millions of dollars saved.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ƒ์„ฑํ˜• AI ํ™œ์šฉ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์™€ ์Šค๋งˆํŠธ API๋ฅผ ๋Œ€ํ˜• ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์€ํ–‰์— ํŒ๋งคํ•˜์—ฌ, ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์‹ ์šฉ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ ์žฌ๋ฌด ๋ถ„์„์„ ์ž๋™ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋„๋งค ๋Œ€์ถœ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์˜ ํ•œ Tier 1 ์€ํ–‰์€ ์‹ ์šฉ ๋ฉ”๋ชจ ์ž‘์„ฑ์„ ์ž๋™ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋ฌด๋””์Šค์˜ ์—์ด์ „ํ‹ฑ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ๋„์ž…ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ๋ง์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅด๋ฉด, ์ด ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์€ ๊ฐ ๋ฉ”๋ชจ์˜ ์•ฝ 35%์—์„œ 40%๋ฅผ ์ƒ์„ฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์• ๋„๋ฆฌ์ŠคํŠธ์˜ ์ˆ˜๋ฐฑ, ์ˆ˜์ฒœ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์— ๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ์‹œ๊ฐ„์„ ์ ˆ์•ฝํ•ด์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ˆ˜๋ฐฑ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ํšจ๊ณผ์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And that work is expanding into enabling real-time commercial real estate risk monitoring, API-based screening and KYC where we displaced a competitor in the fourth quarter. And the same holds true around the world. In the fourth quarter, we signed banks in APAC and the Middle East to embed our AI-enabled spreading and memo generation solutions into their loan origination platforms. And we heard back from them. They're reducing decision times in some cases by as much as 80% and cutting loan processing cycles, in some cases, by as much as 15x. So some real efficiency.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์€ ์‹ค์‹œ๊ฐ„ ์ƒ์—…์šฉ ๋ถ€๋™์‚ฐ ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ ๋ชจ๋‹ˆํ„ฐ๋ง, API ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์‹ฌ์‚ฌ ๋ฐ KYC(๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•์ธ ์ ˆ์ฐจ) ์ง€์›์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋ฅผ ๋Œ€์ฒดํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ถ”์„ธ๋Š” ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์•„์‹œ์•„ ํƒœํ‰์–‘(APAC) ๋ฐ ์ค‘๋™ ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์€ํ–‰๋“ค๊ณผ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ์ฒด๊ฒฐํ•˜์—ฌ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์Šคํ”„๋ ˆ๋”ฉ ๋ฐ ๋ฉ”๋ชจ ์ƒ์„ฑ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ๋Œ€์ถœ ์‹คํ–‰ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•˜๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ํ”ผ๋“œ๋ฐฑ์„ ๋ฐ›์€ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ์‹œ๊ฐ„์„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ 80%๊นŒ์ง€ ๋‹จ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋Œ€์ถœ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌ ์ฃผ๊ธฐ๋Š” ์ตœ๋Œ€ 15๋ฐฐ๊นŒ์ง€ ๋‹จ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ „ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And KYC continues to deliver mid-teens growth driven by customers' trust in the quality of the governance and the global coverage of our data. So a great example is our partnership with one of the world's largest e-commerce and technology companies where we've grown that relationship more than twentyfold over the last 3 years. And today, our data is integrated across KYC, supplier risk, credit risk, transfer pricing and sales workflows and covers more than 15,000 suppliers across automated entity resolution, screening and early warning signals.KYC๋Š” ๋‹น์‚ฌ ๊ฑฐ๋ฒ„๋„Œ์Šค์˜ ํ’ˆ์งˆ๊ณผ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์˜ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์ปค๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด 10% ์ค‘๋ฐ˜๋Œ€์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€ํ‘œ์ ์ธ ์˜ˆ์‹œ๋กœ, ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ๊ธฐ์—… ์ค‘ ํ•œ ๊ณณ๊ณผ์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ๋“ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 3๋…„๊ฐ„ ํ•ด๋‹น ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ 20๋ฐฐ ์ด์ƒ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œ์ผฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋Š” KYC, ๊ณต๊ธ‰์—…์ฒด ์œ„ํ—˜, ์‹ ์šฉ ์œ„ํ—˜, ์ด์ „ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๋ฐ ์˜์—… ์›Œํฌํ”Œ๋กœ์šฐ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ํ†ตํ•ฉ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ž๋™ํ™”๋œ ๊ฐœ์ฒด ํ•ด์ƒ๋„, ์‹ฌ์‚ฌ ๋ฐ ์กฐ๊ธฐ ๊ฒฝ๋ณด ์‹ ํ˜ธ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด 15,000๊ฐœ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์—…์ฒด๋ฅผ ํฌ๊ด„ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Similarly, in the fourth quarter, and you -- there's a pattern here, one of the world's largest global payment platform, signed a multiyear, multimillion dollar agreement to embed Orbis via API into their new customer onboarding processes. And they're treading 2 critical requirements. They're creating a smooth customer experience through prepopulated applications while addressing enhanced KYC due diligence requirements from their regulators. And just to bring it up another notch.

In the fourth quarter, Interpol announced they're leveraging our ownership in firmographic data to support their operations targeting illicit finance, with a recent operation resulting in 83 arrests across 6 countries. And it's in environments like this, our accuracy, providence and the auditability are nonnegotiable. Now our data can't be synthesized from public sources. It reflects how ownership and control actually work in the real world, cutting through complex multilayered structures across jurisdictions, and reflecting years of proprietary data curation, entity resolution and relationship mapping. And it's that breadth and depth that makes our data both AI-enabling and AI resilient.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ธํ„ฐํด์€ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—… ์ •๋ณด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ ๋ถˆ๋ฒ• ์ž๊ธˆ ๋Œ€์‘ ์ž‘์ „์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ž‘์ „์„ ํ†ตํ•ด 6๊ฐœ๊ตญ์—์„œ 83๋ช…์„ ์ฒดํฌํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์—์„œ ์ €ํฌ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์˜ ์ •ํ™•์„ฑ, ์ถœ์ฒ˜์˜ ๋ช…ํ™•์„ฑ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ์‚ฌ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์€ ํƒ€ํ˜‘ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์—†๋Š” ํ•„์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ์š”์†Œ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And we see some similar dynamics in insurance as well, where rising climate-related losses are driving demand for more data-intensive, model-driven solutions. In December, we launched our high-definition severe convective storm model. That was calibrated on more than $55 billion of granular claims data, and that was contributed by the industry and available nowhere else. And then we deliver that SCS model through our cloud-based intelligent risk platform, and early adoption has been strong, reflecting the demand for more precise underwriting as these secondary perils as they're called, increasingly behave like primary risk. So we believe the common thread here is clear.๋ณดํ—˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋„ ์œ ์‚ฌํ•œ ์–‘์ƒ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ธฐํ›„ ๊ด€๋ จ ์†์‹ค์ด ๋”์šฑ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ง‘์•ฝ์ ์ด๊ณ  ๋ชจ๋ธ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

As AI proliferates, value accrues to providers of trusted context, decision grade data and analytics that are embedded, auditable and difficult to replicate, and that is exactly where Moody's sits. So stepping back, our confidence heading into 2026 is grounded in the durability of the business model that we've built and the discipline with which we allocate capital.

We're accelerating efforts to link our massive data estate, expand network-based insights and make our content more actionable within customer workflows. And given the traction we're seeing, we've established a dedicated sales team focused on agent-ready data in 2026, and that reflects both customer demand and our conviction in this opportunity.

First, in lending and credit decisioning, we're upgrading customers onto a more integrated AI-enabled platforms. This includes moving CreditView users to what we call Moody's view, expanding CreditLens into a broader lending suite, and delivering agenetic capabilities such as automated credit memos and early warning tools. And we're also expanding and packaging our credit tools specifically for private credit origination and underwriting where demand continues to grow. Second, in KYC and compliance, we're focused on driving efficiency and scale. For financial institutions, we're delivering productivity gains through workflow partnerships and piloting screening and diligence agents.์ฒซ์งธ, ๋Œ€์ถœ ๋ฐ ์‹ ์šฉ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์„ ๋”์šฑ ํ†ตํ•ฉ๋œ AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์œผ๋กœ ์—…๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด๋“œํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” CreditView ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋“ค์„ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ 'Moody's View'๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ถ€๋ฅด๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๊ณ , CreditLens๋ฅผ ๋” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ๋Œ€์ถœ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ž๋™ํ™”๋œ ์‹ ์šฉ ๋ฉ”๋ชจ ๋ฐ ์กฐ๊ธฐ ๊ฒฝ๋ณด ๋„๊ตฌ์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ƒ์„ฑํ˜• AI ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๋“ค์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์† ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹ ์šฉ(private credit)์˜ ๋ฐœํ–‰(origination) ๋ฐ ์‹ฌ์‚ฌ(underwriting)๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ํŠน๋ณ„ํžˆ ์‹ ์šฉ ๋„๊ตฌ๋“ค์„ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ํŒจํ‚ค์ง•ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

For corporates, we're rolling out a simplified modular compliance suite that scales in data and functionality based on the company's size, exposure and sophistication. All of that will be delivered through the Moody's reg compliance platform. And third, in insurance, we continue to invest across catastrophe modeling, underwriting and risk transfer. This includes ongoing migrations to our cloud-based Intelligent Risk Platform, new high-definition model offerings and enhanced data management capabilities with our new Risk Data Lake.๊ธฐ์—… ๊ณ ๊ฐ์„ ๋Œ€์ƒ์œผ๋กœ๋Š”, ๊ธฐ์—…์˜ ๊ทœ๋ชจ, ๋…ธ์ถœ๋„, ์ •๊ตํ•จ์— ๋งž์ถฐ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์ด ํ™•์žฅ๋˜๋Š” ๊ฐ„์†Œํ™”๋œ ๋ชจ๋“ˆํ˜• ์ปดํ”Œ๋ผ์ด์–ธ์Šค ์Šค์œ„ํŠธ๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋ฌด๋””์Šค์˜ ๊ทœ์ œ ์ค€์ˆ˜ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ œ๊ณต๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And in the capital markets, we see an opportunity in catastrophe bonds as climate risk increasingly migrates into structured finance, an area where Moody's is uniquely positioned at the intersection of models, ratings and market infrastructure with the recent launch of our cat bond rating methodology and revamped cat bond modeling platform. Across both Analytics and Ratings, a critical enabler of this growth is the continued build-out of our AI context layer and knowledge graph. And we're capturing large new structured and unstructured data sets and leveraging our global connectivity to enrich how our AI systems and our analysts understand risk, relationships and exposure.์ž๋ณธ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋Š” ๊ธฐํ›„ ์œ„ํ—˜์ด ์ ์  ๋” ๊ตฌ์กฐํ™” ๊ธˆ์œต์œผ๋กœ ์œ ์ž…๋จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์žฌํ•ด ์ฑ„๊ถŒ(catastrophe bonds)์—์„œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌด๋””์Šค๋Š” ์ตœ๊ทผ ์žฌํ•ด ์ฑ„๊ถŒ ์‹ ์šฉ ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ํ‰๊ฐ€ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•๋ก ๊ณผ ๊ฐœํŽธ๋œ ์žฌํ•ด ์ฑ„๊ถŒ ๋ชจ๋ธ๋ง ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๋ชจ๋ธ, ์‹ ์šฉ ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰, ์‹œ์žฅ ์ธํ”„๋ผ์˜ ๊ต์ฐจ์ ์—์„œ ๋…๋ณด์ ์ธ ์œ„์น˜๋ฅผ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

While we experienced tariff-driven uncertainty that resulted in a market-driven air pocket early in 2025, conditions recovered as the year progressed, and we finished very close to our initial internal expectations. Let me start with Moody's Analytics. In 2025, we sharpened our focus on our highest conviction growth opportunities, while continuing to actively optimize our product portfolio and manage costs with discipline. For the full year, MA revenue grew 9% and adjusted operating margin improved by 240 basis points to 33.1%.2025๋…„ ์ดˆ, ๊ด€์„ธ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ฃผ๋„ํ˜• ์—์–ด ํฌ์ผ“์„ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ํšŒ๋ณต๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‚ด๋ถ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜์— ๋งค์šฐ ๊ทผ์ ‘ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This performance builds on our already strong financial profile, delivering consistent growth at scale with a very high concentration in recurring revenue and retention in the low to mid-90s. ARR reached $3.5 billion, up 8%, which is in line with organic constant currency recurring revenue growth also at 8%. Now before turning to the drivers of ARR growth, I want to do a quick reminder on the MA revenue disclosures. Reported revenue reflects period results and that includes FX and M&A.์ด๋ฒˆ ์‹ค์ ์€ ์ด๋ฏธ ํƒ„ํƒ„ํ•œ ์žฌ๋ฌด ๊ฑด์ „์„ฑ์„ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ๋น„์ค‘์ด ๋งค์šฐ ๋†’๊ณ  ์œ ์ง€์œจ์ด 90% ์ดˆ์ค‘๋ฐ˜๋Œ€์— ๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ทœ๋ชจ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊พธ์ค€ํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Organic constant currency recurring revenue measures renewable software licenses, decision grade data and world-class content and analytics, which collectively represents an incredibly durable core business, and that removes FX and M&A. However, the growth rate can still vary quarter-to-quarter due to upfront revenue recognition timing, especially for on-premise licenses. Now ARR is forward-looking. It's normalized for FX and M&A. And it reflects the current position of recurring contracts. As a result, this gives, in our view, the clearest perspective of customer demand and the future revenue base. Using that lens, let me walk through a few highlights.์œ ๊ธฐ์  ํ™˜์œจ ๋ถˆ๋ณ€ ๊ฒฝ์ƒ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ ๊ฐฑ์‹  ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์†Œํ”„ํŠธ์›จ์–ด ๋ผ์ด์„ ์Šค, ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์ฝ˜ํ…์ธ  ๋ฐ ๋ถ„์„์„ ์ธก์ •ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋“ค์€ ์ด์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ๊ตฌ์„ฑํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ง€ํ‘œ๋Š” ํ™˜์œจ ๋ณ€๋™ ๋ฐ M&A ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ด ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ํŠนํžˆ ์˜จํ”„๋ ˆ๋ฏธ์Šค ๋ผ์ด์„ ์Šค์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์„ ํ–‰ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ธ์‹ ์‹œ์  ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„๋กœ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋ณ€๋™๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Starting with Decision Solutions, which includes KYC, insurance and banking, and continues to be a key growth engine for MA. These businesses delivered double-digit ARR growth and represent approximately 45% of total MA ARR, underscoring both their scale and strategic importance. KYC remains the fastest-growing component, with growth consistently in the mid- to high teens over the past 2 years and 15% ARR growth at the end of 2025. Growth in KYC continues to be driven by both deeper penetration with existing banking customers, especially Tier 1 institutions as well as expansion beyond our traditional financial services customer profile.๋จผ์ € Decision Solutions์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We are increasingly seeing demand from nonfinancial customers for unique solutions to address complex, high-stakes compliance challenges, as you heard Rob talk about with the Interpol example. We delivered very strong net growth in the quarter, supported by both new customer wins and continued cross-selling and expansion with existing relationships. Now a few recent deals illustrate the power of our solutions here and our ability to deliver trusted outcomes for customers. As Rob referenced earlier, we secured a competitive KYC displacement win as a tier bank that also leverages a broader set of Moody's solutions.๋กญ์ด ์ธํ„ฐํด ์‚ฌ๋ก€์—์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ณต์žกํ•˜๊ณ  ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ ์ธ ๊ทœ์ œ ์ค€์ˆ˜ ๊ณผ์ œ๋ฅผ ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ณ ์œ ํ•œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋น„๊ธˆ์œต ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์ ์  ๋” ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์œ ์น˜์™€ ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ต์ฐจ ํŒ๋งค ๋ฐ ์‚ฌ์—… ํ™•์žฅ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฒฌ์กฐํ•œ ์ˆœ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ช‡ ๊ฑด์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์€ ์ €ํฌ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•จ๊ณผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์—๊ฒŒ ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ์ž˜ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋กญ์ด ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ฌด๋””์Šค์˜ ๋” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜๋“ค์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๋Š” ํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ์€ํ–‰์—์„œ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ๋Œ€์ฒดํ•˜๋Š” KYC ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ์ˆ˜์ฃผํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And what this example illustrates is our ability to build and more broadly scale relationships over time. In fact, the relationship grew by more than 20% in '25 and continues to present meaningful expansion opportunities in '26. Beyond the payments company customer example Rob mentioned earlier, we won new business with 2 manufacturing corporates, including a leading global aerospace and defense company facing new U.S. export control requirements. In this case, the customer needed a solution capable of identifying ownership and control structures across complex global entities to comply with the BIS 50% rule and the evolving export restrictions.๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด ์‚ฌ๋ก€๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ™•์žฅํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ, ํ•ด๋‹น ๊ด€๊ณ„๋Š” 25๋…„์— 20% ์ด์ƒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 26๋…„์—๋„ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ํ™•์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We are uniquely positioned to address this kind of customer challenge because of our ability to link together billions of ownership structures through our extensive network of local registry relationships. Turning to banking. Our focus on customer mix here differ quite a bit from KYC. While KYC is anchored in deep relationships with Tier 1 banks and corporate customers, our banking offerings in Decision Solutions are much more significantly concentrated with Tier 2 and Tier 3 institutions, where demand is centered on scalable, configurable end-to-end workflow solutions that are ready to deploy. Banking delivered ARR growth of 8%. That's up from 7% in the third quarter.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ํ˜„์ง€ ๋“ฑ๊ธฐ์†Œ ๊ด€๊ณ„ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ˆ˜์‹ญ์–ต ๊ฐœ์˜ ์†Œ์œ ๊ถŒ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ ๋•๋ถ„์— ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ๋‚œ์ œ๋ฅผ ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋…๋ณด์ ์ธ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And you'll see in 2025, this trend continued and was compounded by the recently completed divestiture of the Learning Solutions business, which is a further sharpening of our focus within the banking portfolio towards the highest demand and quality revenue. Now turning to insurance. Demand from our -- for our most sophisticated high-definition models and cloud-based Intelligent Risk Platform drove 7% ARR growth for the year-end '25 and that's an increase of 21% over the last 2 years. And looking at this 2-year view is important because 2024 was particularly strong, reflecting record levels of customer migrations on to the IRP combined with large model upgrades and new product adoption.2025๋…„์—๋„ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ถ”์„ธ๊ฐ€ ์ง€์†๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ๊ทผ ์™„๋ฃŒ๋œ Learning Solutions ์‚ฌ์—…๋ถ€ ๋งค๊ฐ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋”์šฑ ์‹ฌํ™”๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์€ํ–‰ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค ๋‚ด์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๋งŽ๊ณ  ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•˜๋Š” ๋ถ„์•ผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ดˆ์ ์„ ๋”์šฑ ๋ช…ํ™•ํžˆ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Stepping back, our recent performance underscores the successful integration and execution of growth strategies we laid out for the RMS business following the acquisition. In fact, we completed and slightly exceeded the financial target associated with that transaction, adding $150 million run rate revenue by 2025. Now achieving that milestone required shifting RMS from flattish growth in 2021 to a high single-digit CAGR, including synergies over a 4-year period. That's a transition that was supported by sustained customer demand and meaningful platform-led upsell activity.

Ratings data feeds are the primary growth driver within the segment, with ARR growth well above the overall line of business. And that underscores their decision-grade nature and central role in customers' credit, risk and investment workflows. In parallel, our decision-grade data estate, which includes company ownership, people and news, is increasingly embedded in customer workflows across a wide range of third-party risk use cases. Now growth in this area can vary year-to-year based on deal mix, including the timing of closure of renewals of large enterprise-wide data agreements versus sales to smaller institutions.์‹ ์šฉ ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ํ”ผ๋“œ๋Š” ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋‚ด ์ฃผ์š” ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์ด๋ฉฐ, ARR(์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ๋งค์ถœ) ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ์ „์ฒด ์‚ฌ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์„ ํ›จ์”ฌ ์ƒํšŒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์˜ ์˜์‚ฌ๊ฒฐ์ • ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ํŠน์„ฑ๊ณผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ์‹ ์šฉ, ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ ๋ฐ ํˆฌ์ž ์›Œํฌํ”Œ๋กœ์šฐ์—์„œ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ ์ธ ์—ญํ• ์„ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And as we shared, 2025 was impacted by those related cancellations across several U.S. government agencies. Excluding these items, underlying demand and customer engagement remains solid. We've had several notable Orbis wins in the fourth quarter, including one with a large global bank for enterprise-wide access and a new partnership with one of the world's largest asset managers underscoring the breadth, relevance and durability of our data estate. Turning to margin. As I mentioned earlier, Moody's Analytics delivered ahead of the target we originally set for 2025.

What differentiates Moody's Analytics is our ability to invest in growth while expanding margins. We expect to be able to sustain this balance for the years to come. Because beyond near-term cost actions, we're making structural changes to how roles are set up in our core processes. Let me give you an example. We're building out a single standard Gen AI-led product development life cycle process across MA, which we expect will drive higher productivity, improved quality and faster delivery for customers.๋ฌด๋””์Šค ์• ๋„๋ฆฌํ‹ฑ์Šค์˜ ์ฐจ๋ณ„์ ์€ ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ๋„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ํˆฌ์žํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ์กฐ์น˜๋ฅผ ๋„˜์–ด, ํ•ต์‹ฌ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์—ญํ•  ์„ค์ • ๋ฐฉ์‹์— ๊ตฌ์กฐ์ ์ธ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” MA ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ๋‹จ์ผ ํ‘œ์ค€ ์ƒ์„ฑํ˜• AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ์ˆ˜๋ช… ์ฃผ๊ธฐ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ ํ–ฅ์ƒ, ํ’ˆ์งˆ ๊ฐœ์„  ๋ฐ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋‚ฉ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ์ถ•์„ ์ด๋Œ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In parallel, we are embedding advanced analytics and Gen AI into other core workflows such as sales account planning, which allows us to scale impact and customer value without proportional increases in headcount. Turning to MIS. Fourth quarter revenue was up 17% year-over-year and the performance here was driven by activity that was very strong, particularly in the investment-grade asset class within Corporate Finance, where tight spreads, strong investor demand and several large jumbo deals from hyperscalers supported record issuance. Project and infrastructure finance also had near record issuance in the quarter.์ด์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜์—… ๊ณ„์ • ๊ณ„ํš๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์€ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์›Œํฌํ”Œ๋กœ์šฐ์— ๊ณ ๋„ ๋ถ„์„(advanced analytics) ๋ฐ ์ƒ์„ฑํ˜• AI(Gen AI)๋ฅผ ์ ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋น„๋ก€์ ์ธ ์ธ๋ ฅ ์ฆ์› ์—†์ด ์˜ํ–ฅ๋ ฅ๊ณผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ํ™•์žฅํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Private credit across all asset classes grew 40% in Q4 from particularly strong activity from finance and securitization. Transactional revenue increased 22% in Q4, supported by 10% issuance growth and a more favorable mix as lower yield bank loan repricing activity declined versus the prior year quarter. MIS recurring revenue was particularly strong, up 9% year-over-year in Q4. Turning to margins. MIS delivered a full year adjusted operating margin of 63.6%, representing 350 basis points of year-over-year expansion. And that reflects strong operating leverage in the Ratings business, driven by continued technology investments and disciplined capital allocation.๋ชจ๋“  ์ž์‚ฐ๊ตฐ์— ๊ฑธ์นœ ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹ ์šฉ์€ ๊ธˆ์œต ๋ฐ ์ฆ๊ถŒํ™” ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ํŠนํžˆ ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ํ™œ๋™์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 40% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 22% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ฐœํ–‰๋Ÿ‰ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ €์ˆ˜์ต ์€ํ–‰ ๋Œ€์ถœ ์žฌ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ฑ…์ • ํ™œ๋™์ด ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜์—ฌ ๋”์šฑ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•ด์ง„ ๋ฏน์Šค์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Looking forward, we expect investment needs will continue to increase, and debt remains an attractive funding source. Accommodative monetary conditions, declining default rates and healthy investor demand for yield should support access to capital across sectors. For the full year 2026, we expect total issuance to increase at a low single-digit percent pace, followed by ongoing refinancing needs and 40% to 45% increase in debt-funded M&A issuance. We also expect ongoing growth from private credit as well as issuance from hyperscalers and AI-driven data centers. Based on our issuance outlook, we expect MIS revenue for 2026 to grow at a high single-digit percent pace.ํ–ฅํ›„ ํˆฌ์ž ์ˆ˜์š”๋Š” ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ๋ถ€์ฑ„๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์›์œผ๋กœ ๋‚จ์•„์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™„ํ™”์ ์ธ ํ†ตํ™” ์ •์ฑ…, ํ•˜๋ฝํ•˜๋Š” ๋ถ€๋„์œจ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋“ค์˜ ๊ฒฌ์กฐํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์„นํ„ฐ์—์„œ ์ž๋ณธ ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our forecast project year-over-year growth across all 4 quarters, strongest in the first half and moderating in the second. We're projecting a full year operating margin of approximately 65%, that's up 150 basis points versus 2025. For Moody's Analytics, reported revenue guidance is at the high end of mid-single-digit growth, including a 180 basis point headwind to year-to-year growth from the divestiture of our Learning Solutions business. Adjusting for the effect of this divestiture and uneven foreign exchange rates across the 2 years, we expect organic constant currency recurring revenue growth to be aligned with ARR in the high single-digit percent range.์ €ํฌ๋Š” 4๊ฐœ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ „๋งํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋†’๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๊ณ  ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์™„ํ™”๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ ์•ฝ 65%๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 2025๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 150bp(๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ) ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

From a margin perspective, our 34% to 35% adjusted operating margin outlook reflect approximately 150 basis points of improvement at the midpoint. Putting this all together, we expect MCO revenue growth in the high single-digit percent range and MCO adjusted operating margin, likewise expanding by 150 bps to the 52% to 53% range for 2026. Our 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance is $16.40 to $17, implying approximately 12% growth at the midpoint. We expect the effective tax rate to be in the range of 23% to 25% in 2026, a more normalized overall rate after we realized a sizable M&A-related onetime benefit in 2025.๋งˆ์ง„ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ 34%~35% ์กฐ์ • ์˜์—… ๋งˆ์ง„ ์ „๋ง์น˜๋Š” ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์•ฝ 150bp ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์„ ์ข…ํ•ฉํ•ด ๋ณผ ๋•Œ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026๋…„ MCO ๋งค์ถœ์ด ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ํ›„๋ฐ˜๋Œ€ ํผ์„ผํŠธ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ , MCO ์กฐ์ • ์˜์—… ๋งˆ์ง„ ๋˜ํ•œ 150bp ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์–ด 52%~53% ๋ฒ”์œ„์— ์ด๋ฅผ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ 2026๋…„ ์กฐ์ • ํฌ์„ EPS ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” 16.40๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 17๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์•ฝ 12% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026๋…„ ์‹คํšจ์„ธ์œจ์ด 23%~25% ๋ฒ”์œ„์— ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 2025๋…„์— ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ M&A ๊ด€๋ จ ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•œ ์ดํ›„ ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ •์ƒํ™”๋œ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์„ธ์œจ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We've also added a new appendix slide with additional detail to provide further insights into the key drivers of our results and 2026 outlook assumptions. Lastly, we're expecting free cash flow to be in the range of $2.8 billion to $3 billion, 13% growth at the midpoint. Now this guide is impacted by a notable $100 million increase in CapEx for the build-out of our New York headquarters and London office space. We expect to repurchase approximately $2 billion in shares during the year and announced a 10% increase to our quarterly dividend. Overall, our capital plan calls for a return of at least 90% of our free cash flow to shareholders in 2026.๋˜ํ•œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์‹ค์ ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ๋™์ธ๊ณผ 2026๋…„ ์ „๋ง ๊ฐ€์ •์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋” ๊นŠ์€ ์ดํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋•๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ธ๋ถ€ ์ •๋ณด๊ฐ€ ๋‹ด๊ธด ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ถ€๋ก ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„(FCF)์ด 28์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 30์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ 13% ์„ฑ์žฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” ๋‰ด์š• ๋ณธ์‚ฌ์™€ ๋Ÿฐ๋˜ ์‚ฌ๋ฌด์‹ค ๊ณต๊ฐ„ ๊ตฌ์ถ•์„ ์œ„ํ•œ 1์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ž๋ณธ ์ง€์ถœ(CapEx) ์ฆ๊ฐ€์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด ์•ฝ 20์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ๋ฅผ ๋งค์ž…ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ์„ 10% ์ธ์ƒํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ž๋ณธ ๊ณ„ํš์€ 2026๋…„์— ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์˜ ์ตœ์†Œ 90%๋ฅผ ์ฃผ์ฃผ์—๊ฒŒ ํ™˜์›ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋กœ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Given the recent market activity in our sector and our strong fundamentals and durable growth outlook, you can expect us to be aggressively buying back shares at these levels.

Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Curtis, first of all, welcome to the call. It's great to have you on today. I would say we feel very good about the assets and the capabilities that we have. And you heard me talking about this, Curtis, a bit in my prepared remarks. I mean, I think we all understand that data and trusted data is going to be the fuel for AI and especially for the big regulated institutions that are big customers of ours. And so we feel very good about having built out this massive data estate. And then now, as you heard me talk about, it's about linking that and it's about the ability to draw insights across that network of data. So I think -- and again, I think we also understand that proprietary data sets will be at premiums going forward. And wherever we have an opportunity to add uniquely valuable data into this giant data estate, putting it into our context layer, helping to build out our network graph, I think you're going to see us do that. In terms of the trimming, I think this is just -- you hear us talking about where we're making the more concentrated bets. And I talked about lending and credit decisioning, KYC and compliance and insurance. And those are the places where we think we bring the strongest set of capabilities, the deepest customer relationships that give us the strongest right to win. And so we felt there was just an opportunity to look across the portfolio at things that weren't as central to that and had an opportunity to, as you said, kind of prune the portfolio and allow us to focus even more on the areas of the greatest scalable growth opportunities.**Robert Fauber:** ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ์ž์‚ฐ(assets)๊ณผ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰(capabilities)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ปคํ‹ฐ์Šค๋‹˜, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์ค€๋น„๋œ ๋ฐœ์–ธ(prepared remarks)์—์„œ ์ด ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ ธ๋“ฏ์ด ๋ง์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Alex Kramm: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division I want to stay on MA. Thanks to both of you for all the AI detail, a lot of impressive stats. On the flip side though, it doesn't sound like it's really translating into ARR revenue yet, maybe it is. But obviously, if we look at the guidance and the results, relative to your medium-term outlook, those have kind of softened a bit. So I guess the question is, when is AI really going to contribute? And if it's already contributing, are there some other issues elsewhere in the business. So maybe an open question there.**Alex Kramm:** ๋‘ ๋ถ„๊ป˜์„œ AI ๊ด€๋ จ ์ƒ์„ธํ•œ ์„ค๋ช…๊ณผ ์ธ์ƒ์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์น˜๋“ค์„ ๋งŽ์ด ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํ•œํŽธ์œผ๋กœ๋Š”, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ AI ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์•„์ง ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ๋งค์ถœ(ARR: Annual Recurring Revenue)๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์ง€๋Š” ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก  ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์„ ์ˆ˜๋„ ์žˆ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค๋งŒ, ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค(guidance)์™€ ์‹ค์ ์„ ์ค‘๊ธฐ ์ „๋ง(medium-term outlook)๊ณผ ๋น„๊ตํ•ด ๋ณด๋ฉด ๋‹ค์†Œ ์•ฝํ™”๋œ ๋ชจ์Šต์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์€, AI๊ฐ€ ์–ธ์ œ์ฏค ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ• ๊นŒ์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งŒ์•ฝ ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ์–ด๋–ค ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋ฌธ์ œ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฑด๊ฐ€์š”?
Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Alex, thanks. And I think in a way, there's kind of 2 parts that I want to unpack in that question. The first is kind of your observation around the trajectory of MA. And I would say that our fourth quarter ARR was in line with the third quarter. And as you'd expect, when you've got, I'm going to say, kind of a portfolio, we're selling into very different customer bases, there's some puts and takes in terms of what's growing faster and what's growing not as fast. If you look at kind of the ARR trend across the portfolio in 2025, I think you'd see that actually banking, research and data actually picked up a little bit and we had some headwinds with insurance and KYC. And as you heard Noemie mention, we've talked about before in the call, some of that with KYC was impacted by DOGE. And you see our guide, that's consistent with these growth rates. I talked about the new products and the cross-sell and upgrade pathways that are going to drive that growth. But I think maybe one other point I want to just double-click on. Everybody wants to understand how much revenue is being generated by AI. And there were 2 stats that again, I want to come back to because I do think they are leading indicators for us. One, is the fact that those largest accounts for us are growing at about twice as fast as the rest of the portfolio. That's really important because that's where we have the deepest engagement with the most sophisticated institutions on the planet, and that's where they all want to be able to consume our content and bring it into their own AI workflow orchestration platforms and consume it through AI portals. So there is a lot of AI-oriented engagement with those big institutions. That's what's driving, and importantly, driving that growth. And then second, we have that stat about the cohort of customers who have bought at least one stand-alone or packet or upgraded into an AI solution, that's growing twice as fast, again, because of the level of engagement. So I think, Alex, I feel good that the most sophisticated institutions are where we've got the most growth and the most engagement around AI. And our view is that that's going to then trickle through the rest of the customer base over time.**Robert Fauber:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์งˆ๋ฌธํ•˜์‹  ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ž ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Yes. Manav, great to have you on the call. So I'm going to start with issuance and then maybe I'll just -- I'll go into revenue real quickly for you because I know that will be helpful. So we're expecting issuance activity, like we typically do, to be more heavily weighted towards the first half of the year. We have very attractive market conditions. And there's, I would say, a relatively strong start to the year as well. And that's also in line with what we've been hearing from the banks, who we've been talking to, who think that the issuance, again, it will be a little bit front-loaded in the first half of the year. To give you a sense, that's probably mid-50s percent of total issuance is going to be in the first half of the year, at least that's what we're modeling. That was pretty consistent with '23 and '24. '25 was a little more back-end loaded, I think, as you know. And that's also a pretty consistent pattern that we see with frequent issuers. So to put a finer point on it, Manav, we're expecting issuance to grow in the first half of '26 in the kind of high single-digit range versus the first half of last year and to decline mid-single digit in the second half. And in the first quarter, in particular, we think we're going to see kind of high 20s percent of issuance in terms of -- as a percent of the full year. Now when we go to revenue, it's a little less pronounced in terms of being front-end loaded. So I would say from a revenue perspective, we expect it to be somewhere in the low to mid-50s percent of revenue in the first half of the year. I think importantly, we do expect revenue growth in each quarter of the year. We think that we're going to be somewhere in the mid-teens for revenue growth in the first half of the year and somewhere in kind of the low single-digit range for the second half of the year. And for the first quarter, probably somewhere in the mid-20s percent.**Robert Fauber:** ๋„ค, Manav๋‹˜, ํ†ตํ™”์— ์ฐธ์—ฌํ•ด์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Yes. Toni, rather than me sitting here and trying to convince you of some statistic, let me help you think about it in slightly a different way. And this is about why we think we are well positioned in an AI world. And first, as you said, like we all understand we have a massive proprietary data estate. And you heard me talk about we're in the process of unifying all of that, all the data, the models, the ratings, the research, the risk assessments into really a single normalized record for each entity. And that is going to be able to give us the ability to create a very, very powerful knowledge graph, right? And then we're going to keep adding to that. And that is going to enable the agents to be able to access a comprehensive interconnected view of any entity. And as I said, give unique insights and allow for richer decision-making. But the second thing, I think this is important is we're assembling all of that into what we call, and you might have heard me use this term, a trusted context layer. So that context layer sits between the raw data assets and the AI reasoning engines. So it makes the data usable for reasoning. And what that is, is a structured, governed representation of what the data means, how it relates across entities and time and scenarios, when and why the data should be applied and much, much more, right, is a deep contextual understanding of the data. Orbis, obviously, a very important part of this massive data estate is a great example. It's not just company data. It's years of entity resolution, ownership mapping, expert judgment, and of course, a complex ecosystem of licenses and IP rights. And we've built all of that context directly into our analytics, our methodologies and our models so that then the outputs are accurate, they're explainable and they're defensible, and as you've heard me say, and I love this term, they're decision-grade. So hopefully, that gives you a sense. It's all of that together that makes our data, I think, uniquely valuable.**Robert Fauber:** ๋„ค, ํ† ๋‹ˆ. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์„œ ์–ด๋–ค ํ†ต๊ณ„ ์ˆ˜์น˜๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ํ† ๋‹ˆ ์”จ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋“ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•˜๊ธฐ๋ณด๋‹ค๋Š”, ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋ฐฉ์‹์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด ๋ณด์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋„์™€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ AI ์‹œ๋Œ€์— ์™œ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ์œ„์น˜(well positioned)์— ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋Š”์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Yes, Ashish. Great to have you on the call. Again, I think the way to think about this, and it's interesting if you think about -- you heard me talk about CreditLens and our lending solution, and that has an AI-enabled layer to all of it from the ingestion of financials to credit decisioning and covenant monitoring and much more. You've got different adoption curves with different customer segments. So you heard me say at the high end, almost all of the banks, the big Tier 1 sophisticated banks want to be able to consume our content in a variety of different ways, and it's typically not through software, right? But what they want is we had a bank that's working on agentic. I mentioned it in my remarks. They're building an agenetic workflow for lending. So while they don't need to adopt CreditLens, what they do want is they want our specialized agents around credit memo generation and early warning that are populated with all of our data and access to our model. So they're consuming it through either through smart APIs and MCPs or specialized agents that are going right into the workflow that they're building. So for me, again, it comes back -- we talk about we're going to be wherever our customers want us to be. If you are a Tier 3 bank and you want a lending software platform that's enabled with AI and has access to a lot of our data, we're going to sell that to you. If you want our content through, as I said, different ways to consume the data or specialized agents, we'll do that. If you want to consume it in a enterprise software system, we'll do that. So in a way, Ashish, I'm actually less worried about it because at the end of the day, and we've always talked about this, the software that we have built is simply a delivery chassis for the content. It's not just some business logic that we've sold to a customer. It's a delivery channel for the content. We'll deliver it through software, we'll deliver it into your AI platform, it doesn't matter.**Robert Fauber:** ๋„ค, Ashish๋‹˜. ์ „ํ™” ์—ฐ๊ฒฐํ•ด์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Noemie Heuland: Senior VP & CFO Yes, Andrew. So let me start with the first part of your question in terms of how those affect our guide. Learning Solution was actually divested in December. So obviously, for 2025, there's a very immaterial impact. In terms of our outlook, we expect about 1 percentage point of headwind to the MCO revenue growth, and that's reflected in our -- reported in our outlook for total revenue. We expect a little under 2 percentage point headwind to the revenue growth -- sorry, 1 percentage point headwind to MCO revenue growth and 2% headwind to MA revenue growth, which is embedded in our guide. And there's -- most of it is onetime. That's about 90%. Going forward, it should modestly improve the total revenue growth on a pro forma basis that the training revenue was a slower flattish growth. And when it rolls off, that should improve the profile going forward. This is broadly neutral to MA, about 30 basis points MA margin dilution and very minimum for the MCO adjusted operating margin guide. Now for the regulatory business, this is not yet reflected in our guide. We expect the transition to close around midyear of 2026. We'll update our guidance to reflect that impact at the time. Just to give you a sense of the impact when it closes, we expect about 2 percentage points of headwind to MA reported revenue growth, and that's mostly recurring. We expect 100 basis points tailwind of MCO adjusted expense growth and about 10 basis points dilution on MCO margin. This will also have a minor $0.05 to $0.10 adjusted EPS impact. It depends on when the timing of the transaction closes as we anticipate to redeploy some of the sales proceeds to additional share buybacks. Just on your last question about ARR and constant currency organic recurring revenue. This is what ARR is adjusted to eliminate the effects of divestitures and acquisitions, and we expect both of those to grow high single digit in 2026.**Noemie Heuland:** ๋„ค. ์งˆ๋ฌธ ์ฃผ์‹  ๋‚ด์šฉ ์ค‘, ํ•ด๋‹น ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ด ์ €ํฌ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค(guidance)์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋จผ์ € ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Noemie Heuland: Senior VP & CFO Yes. So we're guiding adjusted operating margins for Moody's Ratings of about 65%. I think there's 2 components, obviously, revenue and transaction revenue growth. But we've also made significant investments, if you recall, over the past couple of years or 3, 4 years on technology enablement. And around our data, and Rob talked a lot about the value of the ratings data feeds and all the data that our analysts produce, all the insights, so we've done a lot of work around that. We've also equipped our Ratings analysts with pockets of automation tools to be more efficient and spend more time on actually -- on Ratings committee, spending time with issuers and less so on more administrative tasks. And that's really driving increased operating leverage. We're still investing in the Ratings while at the same time, improving and getting those margins level. We're investing in analytical staff to support, obviously, the volume but also areas like private credit. We are looking to also on our commercial efforts as well as methodology groups and technology more broadly.

Craig Huber: Huber Research Partners, LLC Rob, I thought you did a really good job talking about your AI moats that you have. But just a little further on that. Within Moody's Analytics, there's obviously concern out there with investors, you can see it in your stock price and your peers as well, that AI firms or firms that pop up or exist that have AI tools over time could replicate what you guys do in parts of your MA operation. Can you just talk a little bit further about the moats there? Where do you think -- just to talk on the other side of this, where do you think maybe you are vulnerable to a third-party AI initiative that takes some share away from you on a meaningful basis? And then on the second way to look at this is there's a lot of concern out there, people talking about that AI is going to ravage the white collar workforces out there in the U.S. or around the world. Talk to us, if you would, about MA, how you price your product here. It's not really on a per seat basis. But if white collar headcount out there goes down 25% plus, just say, hypothetically, at a lot of your institutions, how will that impact how you get paid, how much you get paid when contracts come up for renewal, not existing contracts, but when they come up for renewal, how may that impact your discussions there.**Craig Huber:** AI ํ•ด์ž (AI moats)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ์ž˜ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด์ฃผ์…จ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๊ทธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ข€ ๋” ์—ฌ์ญค๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Fauber: President, CEO & Director Yes, Craig, some good stuff there. Thanks for the questions. Let me just talk a little bit -- I'm going to go back to Orbis for a moment because it's one of our biggest parts of our data estate. And we get questions about this. And I would say a few things in terms that make it very hard to replicate that I do not think are understood. First of all, a lot of the data just simply isn't available to the public. We have a complex ecosystem of commercial agreements and IP rights. I mean that has taken us decades to build and we're constantly curating that. Second, there's legal and regulatory issues, privacy laws and export controls and all sorts of things that our customers need to know that we're abiding by, right, if they're going to use the data. There's semantic complexity. This gets into things in different jurisdictions mean different things. And models have a lot of challenges with semantic drift. So that's where we've been curating all this and our local experts over decades, understand what different things mean in different locations. And then they're cleansing and normalizing that data to make it valuable. There's entity resolution and ownership inference. And by the way, the models are not simply doing entity resolution. That is a really important thing to be able to resolve against the right entity. And we've combined probabilistic models, human-in-the-loop validation and proprietary logic, and we've been doing this over years and years and years. And then we've got all this historical depth, right? So we have a lot of historical depth and in some cases, the data has either been archived or it doesn't exist in digital forms. It's not easy to get some of that history. And then finally, governance. And I got to tell you, Craig, every bank I talk to tells me good enough is not good enough for our institution. What they want from us, they want to move, in many cases, to fewer trusted providers. So they want us to be able to meet their needs. And look, I'll acknowledge, Craig, that things like automated data ingestion and things like that will be done by AI. But it's those things that I talked about. And it's not just Orbis. You could go across a number of other data sets that we have, and the same is true. So hopefully, that gives you a sense. Now let me talk about how do we price the product. And we've never had seat-based licenses. That's not the way we've operated. We've always tried to kind of think about value in our pricing schedules. But look, we are starting to trial in parts of the business, different pricing models, right? And thinking about elements, bringing in elements of consumption-based pricing that I think will be more closely aligned to outcomes, right? Because at the end of the day, Craig, what you're talking about, if there is a substantial labor replacement, somebody and some companies are going to capture some of that opportunity. Maybe not all of it, but they're going to capture, right? And that is going to be, in my opinion, a combination of the model providers and the data providers who are making that efficiency possible. And so we are going -- we are thinking -- as we speak, and trialing different pricing models to be able to capture some of that, frankly, some of that upside.**Robert Fauber:** ๋„ค, ํฌ๋ ˆ์ด๊ทธ, ์ข‹์€ ์ง€์  ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
