TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future business, events, trends, contingencies, financial performance, or financial condition, appear at various places in this report and use words like “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “see,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” and “would” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: guidance and predictions relating to expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings; strategic actions such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and dispositions, the anticipated benefits therefrom, and our success in integrating acquired businesses; anticipated levels of capital expenditures in future periods; anticipated levels of indebtedness, capital allocation, dividends, and share repurchases in future periods; our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing business operations; expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities, and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings; and our strategy for customer retention, growth, product development, market position, financial results, and reserves. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: operating in competitive markets, economic and financial conditions, including volatility in interest and exchange rates; our ability to develop new products and services; our ability to manage system failures or capacity constraints; our ability to manage fraudulent or unpermitted data access or other cyber-security or privacy breaches; our ability to successfully manage risks associated with changes in demand for our products and services; our ability to manage our relationships with third-party service providers; legislative, regulatory, and economic developments, including any new or proposed U.S. Treasury rule changes; the extent to which we are successful in gaining new long-term relationships with customers or retaining existing ones and the level of service failures that could lead customers to use competitors’ services; the anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion, and growth of our operations; our ability to retain and hire ~~key~~qualified personnel; our ability to satisfy our debt obligations and our other ongoing business obligations; ~~and~~ the occurrence of any catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or ~~hostilities.~~hostilities; and risks related to public health and safety issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers. These risks, as well as other risks which would cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, are more fully discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, along with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to

the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating, or liquidity. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is based only on information currently available to our management and speaks only as of the date of this report. We do not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

See accompanying notes.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of IHS Markit have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, ~~2018.~~2019. In our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, and such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

Our business has seasonal aspects. Our first quarter generally has our lowest quarterly levels of revenue and profit. We also experience event-driven seasonality in our business; for instance, CERAWeek, an annual energy conference, is typically held in the second quarter of each ~~year.~~year; however, this event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Another example is the biennial release of the Boiler Pressure Vessel Code (“BPVC”) engineering standard, which generates revenue for us predominantly in the third quarter of every other year. The most recent BPVC release was in the third quarter of ~~2017.~~2019.

~~Revenue Recognition~~The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. We have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in determining our estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, which establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12, respectively, which provide further revenue recognition guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, performance obligations and licensing, and narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients. These standards have all been codified in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

On December 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to our customer revenue contracts as of the adoption date. Revenue results for periods beginning after December 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 606, while prior year amounts continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.”

The following table shows the cumulative effect of the changes made to the December 1, 2018 consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of ASC Topic 606 related to contracts that were in effect at the time of adoption (in millions):

November 30, 2018 Adjustments due to adoption of ASC Topic 606 December 1, 2018
Accounts receivable, net $ 792.9
$ 29.8
$ 822.7
Other current assets 88.4
4.2
92.6
Other non-current assets 47.9
9.5
57.4
Deferred revenue 886.8
(28.8 ) 858.0
Deferred income taxes 699.9
16.3
716.2
Retained earnings 2,743.1
56.0
2,799.1

The net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was primarily related to (1) the change in accounting for the license rights associated with certain term-based software license arrangements, which were historically recognized over the term of the contract, but are now recognized at contract inception based on estimated stand-alone selling price, and (2) the change in accounting for commission costs incurred to obtain a portion of our contracts, which costs were historically expensed as incurred, but are now deferred at contract inception and recognized over the expected customer life.

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2019, the adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not result in a material difference between what we reported under ASC Topic 606 and what we would have reported under ASC Topic 605.

~~We disaggregate our revenue by segment (as described in Note 12) and by transaction type according to the following categories:~~

~~Recurring fixed revenue~~ represents revenue generated from contracts specifying a relatively fixed fee for services delivered over the life of the contract. The fixed fee is typically paid annually or more periodically in advance. These contracts typically consist of subscriptions to our various information offerings and software maintenance, which provide continuous access to our platforms and associated data over the contract term. The revenue is usually recognized ratably over the contract term or for term-based software license arrangements, annually on renewal. The initial term of these contracts is typically annual (with some longer-term arrangements) and non-cancellable for the term of the subscription and may contain provisions for minimum monthly payments.

~~Recurring variable revenue~~ represents revenue from contracts that specify a fee for services, which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is usually paid monthly in arrears. Recurring variable revenue is based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management, or the number of positions we value, and revenue is recognized based on the specific factor used (e.g., for usage-based contracts, we recognize revenue in line with usage in the period). Many of these contracts do not have a maturity date, while the remainder have an initial term ranging from one to five years. Recurring variable revenue was derived entirely from the Financial Services segment for all periods presented.

~~Non-recurring revenue~~ represents consulting (e.g., research and analysis, modeling, and forecasting), services, single-document product sales, perpetual license sales and associated services, conferences and events, and advertising. Revenue for services and other non-recurring revenue is recognized upon completion of the associated performance obligation.

~~The following table presents our revenue by transaction type (in millions):~~

Three months ended May 31, Six months ended May 31,
2019 2018 2019 2018
Recurring fixed revenue $ 785.2
$ 698.1
$ 1,552.4
$ 1,381.4
Recurring variable revenue 145.0
125.9
281.0
243.0
Non-recurring revenue 205.3
184.3
348.5
316.0
Total revenue $ 1,135.5
$ 1,008.3
$ 2,181.9
$ 1,940.4

Our customer contracts may include multiple performance obligations; for example, we typically sell software licenses with maintenance and other associated services. For these transactions, we recognize revenue based on the relative fair value to the customer of each performance obligation as each performance obligation is completed.

We record a receivable when a customer is billed or when revenue is recognized prior to billing a customer. Contract assets include unbilled amounts for multi-year customer contracts where payment is not yet due and where services have been provided up-front but have not yet been billed. Contract assets were approximately $39.2 million as of May 31, 2019 and $29.8 million as of December 1, 2018, and are recorded in accounts receivable, net, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities primarily include our obligations to transfer goods or services for which we have received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. As of May 31, 2019 and December 1, 2018, we had contract liabilities of $938.7 million and $858.0 million, respectively, which are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract liabilities from December 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019 was primarily due to billings of $1,797.5 million that were paid in advance or due from customers, partially offset by $1,694.8 million of revenue recognized for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and the reclassification of $22.0 million of deferred revenue to liabilities held for sale.

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to exceed one year. Certain sales commission programs are designed to promote the sale of products and services to new customers, and we therefore defer the incremental costs related to these programs over the expected customer life related to those products underlying the contracts. We record these expenses as selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2016-02, which requires that lease assets and lease liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet, and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides targeted improvements to ASU 2016-02 by providing an additional optional transition method and a lessor practical expedient for lease and nonlease components. ~~The~~These standards have been codified in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, “Leases.”

We adopted the standard ~~will be effective for us~~ in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020 ~~although~~using the modified retrospective transition method applied to our lease contracts as of the adoption date. We elected to use the transition relief package of practical expedients, but we did not elect to use the hindsight practical expedient in determining a lease term and impairment of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets at the adoption date. We did not apply the lease accounting recognition requirements to leases with a term of one year or less.

We utilize operating leases for our various workplaces worldwide, and we also utilize operating leases for our data centers. These leases have remaining terms ranging from one to 12 years, many of which include renewal and early ~~adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating~~termination options. As of May 31, 2020, we have not considered extension and early termination options in our calculation of the ~~impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, but believe that the most significant impact of adoption will be the recognition of right-of-use~~ROU assets and lease liabilities ~~associated with~~because we do not believe that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. We do not have any significant finance leases.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We consider any contract where there is an identified asset that we have the right to control in determining whether the contract contains a lease. A ROU asset represents our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our operating ~~leases.~~leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We calculate our incremental borrowing rates by extrapolating our current unsecured bond portfolio across the maturity ladder and adjusting the resultant corporate rate for the estimated spread for a secured borrowing and for foreign currencies, as appropriate. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease transactions are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table shows the cumulative effect of the changes made to the December 1, 2019 consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of ASC Topic 842 related to lease contracts that were in effect at the time of adoption (in millions):



	November 30, 2019		Adjustments due to adoption of ASC Topic 842		December 1, 2019
Other current assets	3.4		(3.4	)	—

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~No.~~ 2016-13, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal 2021, although early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which addresses the accounting for implementation costs associated with a hosted service. The standard provides that implementation costs be evaluated for capitalization using the same criteria as that used for internal-use software development costs, with amortization expense being recorded in the same income statement expense line as the hosted service costs and over the expected term of the hosting arrangement. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal 2021, although early adoption is permitted. The amendments will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2022, although early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In May~~Aerospace & Defense divestiture. On December 2, 2019, we ~~announced transactions that will result~~completed the sale of our Aerospace & Defense (“A&D”) business line to Montagu Private Equity for approximately $466 million. The A&D assets were previously included in our Transportation segment. We recognized a gain of approximately $372 million on the sale, subject to final working capital adjustments. The gain is included in other (income) expense, net, in the ~~exchange~~condensed consolidated statements of operations. The transaction resulted in the divestiture of the ~~majority~~following assets and liabilities (in millions):



Current assets	$	18.9
Property and equipment	$	4.5
Intangible assets	$	4.2
Goodwill	$	87.7
Current liabilities	$	(1.1	)
Deferred revenue	$	(24.8	)

automotiveMastermind equity interests acquisition. In September 2017, we acquired automotiveMastermind (“aM”), a leading provider of ~~our Technology, Media,~~predictive analytics and ~~Telecom (“TMT”) market intelligence assets within our CMS segment~~marketing automation software for ~~Informa’s Agribusiness Intelligence group. The agreements value~~ the ~~two businesses~~automotive industry. We purchased approximately 78 percent of aM at ~~equivalent EBITDA multiples, with Informa contributing an additional $30 million~~that time. In exchange for the remaining 22 percent of aM, we issued equity interests in aM’s immediate parent holding company to aM’s founders and certain employees. We agreed to pay cash to ~~IHS Markit~~acquire the

interests over the next five years based on put/call provisions that tie the valuation to ~~reflect~~underlying adjusted EBITDA performance of aM. Since the ~~larger EBITDA contribution from~~purchase of the ~~TMT market intelligence assets. Both transactions~~remaining 22 percent of the business requires continued service of the founders and employees, we are ~~expected to close~~accounting for the arrangement as compensation expense that is remeasured based on changes in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. We expect that the Agribusiness Intelligence group will strengthen our Resources core end-market by building on our existing data, pricing, insights, forecasting, and news services within our chemical and downstream product offerings, and will expand our capability into fertilizers and chemical crop protection while expanding our capabilities in biofuels.

~~As a result~~fair value of the ~~anticipated transactions,~~equity interests. We have classified this expense as acquisition-related costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and we have classified the ~~relevant TMT intelligence assets~~associated accrued liability within other accrued expenses and other liabilities ~~as held~~in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In November 2019, the option holders exercised the put provision on 62.5 percent of their remaining 22 percent interest in the business for ~~sale~~$75.9 million in cash, which we paid in December 2019. We estimate the compensation expense associated with the remaining equity interests to be approximately $70 to $75 million, of which approximately $34.6 million has been recognized as of May 31, ~~2019, as further quantified~~2020. During the first quarter of 2020, due to a forfeiture and subsequent reallocation of equity interests to the remaining option holders, we reversed previously recognized expense for the forfeited interests, which resulted in negligible total first quarter 2020 acquisition-related performance compensation. We will recognize the ~~table below (in millions):~~expense associated with the reallocated interests over the remaining life of the options, through September 2022.

We disaggregate our revenue by segment (as described in Note 16) and by transaction type according to the following categories:

Recurring fixed revenue represents revenue generated from contracts specifying a relatively fixed fee for services delivered over the life of the contract. The initial term of these contracts is typically annual (with some longer-term arrangements) and non-cancellable for the term of the subscription, and may contain provisions for minimum monthly payments. The fixed fee is typically paid annually or more periodically in advance. These contracts typically consist of subscriptions to our various information offerings and software maintenance, which provide continuous access to our platforms and associated data over the contract term. Subscription revenue is usually recognized ratably over the contract term or, for term-based software license arrangements, annually on renewal.

Recurring variable revenue represents revenue from contracts that specify a fee for services, which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is usually paid monthly in arrears. Recurring variable revenue is based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management, or the number of positions we value, and revenue is recognized based on the specific factor used (e.g., for usage-based contracts, we recognize revenue in line with usage in the period). Most of these contracts have an initial term ranging from one to five years, with auto-renewal periods thereafter. Recurring variable revenue was derived entirely from the Financial Services segment for all periods presented.

Non-recurring revenue represents consulting, services, single-document product sales, perpetual license sales and associated services, conferences and events, and advertising. Revenue for services and other non-recurring revenue is recognized upon completion of the associated performance obligation.

We record a receivable when a customer is billed or when revenue is recognized prior to billing a customer. Contract assets include unbilled amounts for multi-year customer contracts where payment is not yet due and where services have been provided up-front but have not yet been billed. Contract assets were approximately $25.7 million as of May 31, 2020 and $39.8 million as of November 30, 2019, and are recorded in accounts receivable, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities primarily include our obligations to transfer goods or services for which we have received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Billings represent amounts that were paid in advance or due from customers. We record our contract liabilities as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~2018~~2019 revolving facility. On ~~June 25, 2018,~~November 29, 2019, we entered into a ~~$2.0~~$1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (“~~2018~~2019 revolving facility”). Subject to certain conditions, the 2019 revolving facility may be expanded by up to an aggregate of $750 million in additional commitments. Borrowings under the ~~2018~~2019 revolving facility mature in ~~June 2023.~~November 2024. The interest rates for borrowings under the ~~2018~~2019 revolving facility are the applicable LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00 percent to ~~1.75~~1.625 percent, depending upon our corporate credit rating. A commitment fee on any unused balance is payable periodically and ranges from ~~0.125~~0.10 percent to ~~0.30~~0.25 percent based upon our corporate credit rating. ~~The obligations under the 2018 revolving facility are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries.~~ We had approximately $1.3 million of outstanding letters of credit under the ~~2018~~2019 revolving facility as of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, which reduced the available borrowing under the facility by an equivalent amount.

~~Subject~~ 2019 credit agreement. In September 2019, we entered into a 364-day credit agreement (the “2019 credit agreement”) for a term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. In April 2020, we amended the 2019 credit agreement to ~~certain conditions,~~extend the ~~2018~~term through April 2021.

~~2018 term loan.~~ Coincident with entering into the 2018 revolving facility, we entered into a senior unsecured amortizing term loan agreement (“2018 term loan”). The 2018 term loan had a final maturity date of July 2021, but we repaid both tranches of the 2018 term loan in April 2019 using proceeds from our April 2019 debt offering and borrowings under the 2018 revolving facility. The obligations under the 2018 term loan were not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The interest rates for borrowings under the 2018 term loan were the same as those under the 2018 revolving facility.

~~364-Day Credit Agreement.~~ On June 25, 2018, we entered into a 364-day Credit Agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) for a term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.855 billion, which became available to be borrowed upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the concurrent completion of our acquisition of Ipreo. On August 2, 2018, concurrent with the completion of our acquisition of Ipreo, we borrowed $250.0 million under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The unutilized balance of the commitment terminated upon completion of the acquisition. The interest rates for borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement were the applicable LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00 percent to 1.75 percent, depending upon our credit rating. The spread over LIBOR was subject to a 0.25 percent step-up on the 180th day following the closing date of the agreement and a 0.50 percent step-up on the 270th day following the closing date. The obligations under the 364-Day Credit Agreement were not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The 364-Day Credit Agreement had certain financial and other covenants that were consistent with the covenants contained in the 2018 revolving facility and the 2018 term loan, including a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, which was defined as the ratio of

Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense, as such terms were defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement. On January 7, 2019, we repaid the 364-Day Credit Agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had approximately ~~$995~~$497.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the ~~2018~~2019 revolving facility at a current annual interest rate of 1.47 percent and $250.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the 2019 credit agreement at a current weighted average annual interest rate of ~~3.91 percent, including the effect~~1.17 percent.

The 4.75% Notes due 2028 bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75 percent and mature on August 1, 2028. Interest on the 4.75% Notes due 2028 is due semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 4.75% Notes due 2028 were issued at a discount, which represented a price to the public of 99.628% of the principal amount. We may redeem the 4.75% Notes due 2028 in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes plus the applicable premium, as defined in the indenture governing the 4.75% Notes due 2028. Additionally, at the option of the holders of the notes, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of the notes upon occurrence of a change of control triggering event as defined in the indenture, at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The indenture contains covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur or create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indenture contains a covenant that limits our ability to consolidate or merge with another entity or to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another entity. The indenture contains customary default provisions. The fair value of the 4.75% Notes due 2028 as of May 31, 2019 was approximately $797.6 million.

~~4.25% senior notes due 2029 (“4.25% Notes due 2029”)~~. In April 2019, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2028 in a registered offering under the Securities Act. The 4.25% Notes due 2029 have been admitted for trading to the official list of The International Stock Exchange in the Channel Islands. The 4.25% Notes due 2029 bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25 percent and mature on May 1, 2029. Interest on the 4.25% Notes due 2029 is due semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 4.25% Notes due 2029 were issued at a discount, which represented a price to the public of 99.422 percent of the principal amount. We may redeem the 4.25% Notes due 2029 in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes plus the applicable premium, as defined in the indenture governing the 4.25% Notes due 2029. Additionally, at the option of the holders of the notes, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of the notes upon occurrence of a change of control triggering event as defined in the indenture, at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The

indenture contains covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur or create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indenture contains a covenant that limits our ability to consolidate or merge with another entity or to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another entity. The indenture contains customary default provisions. The fair value of the 4.25% Notes due 2029 as of May 31, 2019 was approximately $612.5 million.

As of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. We have classified short-term debt based on scheduled loan payments and intended repayments on our revolving facility based on expected cash availability over the next 12 months.

The carrying ~~values~~value of our variable rate debt instruments approximate their fair value because of the variable interest rates associated with those instruments. The fair values of the senior notes were measured using observable inputs in markets that are not active; consequently, we have classified those notes within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Our business is exposed to various market risks, including interest rate and foreign currency risks. We utilize derivative instruments to help us manage these risks. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.

To mitigate interest rate exposure on our outstanding revolving facility debt, we utilize interest rate derivative contracts that effectively swap ~~$400~~$300 million of floating rate debt at a ~~2.86~~2.93 percent weighted-average fixed interest rate, plus the applicable spread on our floating rate debt. We entered into these swap contracts in November 2013 and January 2014, and the contracts expire between ~~May~~August and November 2020.

Because the terms of these swaps and the variable rate debt (as amended or extended over time) effectively coincide, we do not expect any ineffectiveness. We have designated and accounted for these instruments as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value being deferred in ~~AOCI~~accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Foreign Currency Forwards

To mitigate foreign currency exposure, we utilize short-term foreign currency forward contracts that manage market risks associated with fluctuations in balances that are denominated in currencies other than the local functional currency. We account for these forward contracts at fair value and recognize the associated realized and unrealized gains and losses in other (income) expense, net, since we have not designated these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. The notional amount of these outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was ~~$516.6~~$397.3 million and ~~$500.1~~$695.0 million as of May 31, ~~2019~~2020 and November 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Derivatives

Since our derivative instruments are not listed on an exchange, we have evaluated fair value by reference to similar transactions in active markets; consequently, we have classified all of our derivative instruments within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. As of May 31, ~~2019~~2020, and November 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had assets of ~~$0.3~~$3.7 million and ~~$0.2~~$3.5 million, respectively, which were classified within other current assets, and we had liabilities of ~~$14.0~~$3.2 million and ~~$1.6~~$3.9 million, respectively, which were classified within other accrued expenses and other liabilities.

In the second quarter of 2020, as a result of efforts to moderate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we incurred restructuring charges of approximately $73.4 million across all segments, comprised primarily of employee severance charges. For the six months ended May 31, 2020, we incurred approximately $77.9 million of restructuring charges.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the restructuring liability, recorded in other accrued expenses, as of May 31, 2020 (in millions):



	Employee Severance and Other Termination Benefits			Contract Termination Costs			Total

Balance at May 31, 2020	$	58.6		$	3.8		$	62.4

As of May 31, 2020, approximately $14.6 million of the remaining restructuring liability was in Resources, $13.0 million in Transportation, $18.2 million in Shared Services, $14.4 million in Financial Services, and the remainder in CMS.

As part of our effort to moderate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also evaluated our office facilities to determine where we could exit, consolidate, or otherwise optimize our use of office space throughout the company. During the second quarter of 2020, we fully or partially abandoned multiple office locations, recording approximately $7.9 million of impairment charges in accordance with the impairment provisions of ASC Topic 360.

During the six months ended May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we incurred approximately ~~$44.2~~$7.5 million in costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, of which $30.7 million was performance compensation expense related to the automotiveMastermind (“aM”) acquisition described below, and the remainder was associated with employee severance charges and retention costs, contract termination costs for facility consolidations, and legal and professional fees. Approximately $3.3 million of the total charge was allocated to shared services, with $30.7 million of the charge recorded in the Transportation segment, $9.1 million in the Financial Services segment, and the remainder in the Resources and CMS segments.divestitures.

In September 2017, we acquired aM, a leading provider of predictive analytics and marketing automation software for the automotive industry. We purchased approximately 78 percent of aM at that time. In exchange for the remaining 22 percent of aM, we issued equity interests in aM’s immediate parent holding company to aM’s founders and certain employees. We will

pay cash to acquire these interests over the next five years based on put/call provisions that tie the valuation to underlying adjusted EBITDA performance of aM. Since the purchase of the remaining 22 percent of the business requires continued service of the founders and employees, we are accounting for the arrangement as compensation expense that will be remeasured based on changes in the fair value of the equity interests; we have classified this expense as acquisition-related costs within the consolidated statements of operations and we have classified the associated accrued liability as other accrued expenses and other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. We currently estimate a compensation expense range of approximately $150 million to $175 million, to be recognized over a weighted-average recognition period of approximately 3.5 years.

The ASC Topic 842 transition adjustment is related to the net cease-use liabilities associated with facility abandonments that were reclassified to ROU asset and operating lease liabilities at the transition date. As of May 31, ~~2019, the $111.4 million remaining liability was primarily in the Transportation segment, with the remainder in the Financial Services segment and in shared services. Approximately $94.7 million~~2020, substantially all of the remaining liability is associated with the aM acquisition-related performance compensation ~~liability. We expect that the significant majority of the remaining~~ liability ~~will be paid within the next 12 months.~~described in Note 2.

The aggregate intrinsic value amounts in the table above represent the difference between the closing price of our common shares on May 31, ~~2019~~2020 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options as of that date. This represents the value that would have been received by stock option holders if they had all exercised their stock options on May 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In future periods, this amount will change depending on fluctuations in our share price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended May 31, ~~2019~~2020 was approximately ~~$59.7~~$325.4 million.

Our effective tax rate is estimated based upon the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2019~~2020 was 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively, compared to 14 percent and 8 percent ~~respectively, compared to 10 percent and negative 61 percent, respectively,~~ for the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The low tax rates for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020 are primarily due to tax benefits associated with the tax-efficient divestiture of the A&D business line (U.K. share sales are exempt from tax) of approximately $9 million and $38 million, and excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation of approximately $12 million and $76 million, partially offset by U.S. minimum tax impacts of approximately $20 million and $31 million, respectively. The low 2019 tax rates are primarily due to tax benefits associated with excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation of approximately $6 million and $18 million, respectively, for the three

and six months ended May 31, 2019, as well as a change in partnership basis related to intangible assets of approximately $7 million. The low or negative 2018 tax rates were primarily due to tax benefits associated with U.S. tax reform of approximately $136 million in the first quarter of 2018, and excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation of approximately $7 million and $31 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018.

On June 14, 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department (“U.S. Treasury”) and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released final temporary regulations related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Temporary Tax Regulations”). The Temporary Tax Regulations are effective retroactively to our 2018 tax year. We are evaluating the impact of the Temporary Tax Regulations and quantifying the amount of any additional one-time U.S. net tax liability related to the 2018 tax year.

During the first quarter of 2020, we incurred settlement expense of approximately $11.6 million related to lump-sum distributions to participants in our U.S. RIP, SIP, and U.K. RIP plans. We also converted to termination accounting for our U.K. RIP at the end of the first quarter, which resulted in an expense recognition of actuarial loss in excess of corridor of approximately $9.6 million.

During the second quarter of 2020, we transferred our U.S. RIP annuity liability and our U.K. RIP liability to third-party insurers, which resulted in additional settlement expense of approximately $8.9 million.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we are involved in various legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings, lawsuits, government investigations, and other claims, including employment, commercial, intellectual property, and environmental, safety, and health matters. In addition, we may receive routine requests for information from governmental agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigatory authority or from private third parties pursuant to valid court orders or subpoenas. We review such proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, claims, and requests for information and take appropriate action as necessary. At the present time, we can give no assurance as to the outcome of any such pending proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, claims, or requests for information and we are unable to determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the effect they may have on us. However, we do not expect the outcome of such proceedings, lawsuits, claims, or requests for information to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We have defended and will continue to vigorously defend ourselves in all matters.

Share Repurchase Programs

~~Our~~In October 2019, our Board of Directors ~~has~~ authorized a share repurchase program of up to ~~$3.25~~$2.5 billion of IHS Markit common shares from October 17, 2019 through November 30, ~~2019,~~2021, to be funded using our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and future cash flows, or through the incurrence of short- or long-term indebtedness, at management’s discretion. This program replaced the previous share repurchase program that was originally set to terminate on November 30, 2019, but was early terminated by our Board of Directors. This October 2019 share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any set dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice. Under ~~this~~the repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase our common shares on the open market from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions, or through accelerated share repurchase ~~(ASR)~~ agreements, subject to availability of common shares, price, market conditions, alternative uses of capital, and applicable regulatory requirements, at management’s discretion. As of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$1.007~~$1.75 billion remaining available to repurchase under the program.

In December 2019, we funded a $500 million accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a scheduled termination date in the first quarter of 2020. Upon funding of the ASR, we received an initial delivery of 5.547 million shares. At the completion of the ASR in February 2020, we received an additional 0.944 million shares.

In March 2020, we funded a $250 million ASR agreement with a scheduled termination date in the second quarter of 2020. Upon funding of the ASR, we received an initial delivery of 2.807 million shares. At the completion of the ASR in May 2020, we received an additional 1.214 million shares.

In August 2016, our Board of Directors separately ~~and additionally~~ authorized, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, the repurchase of our common shares surrendered by employees in an amount equal to the exercise price, if applicable, and statutory tax liability associated with the vesting of their equity awards, for which we pay the statutory tax on behalf of the employee and forgo receipt of the exercise price of the award from the employee, if applicable.

Dividends

On January 17, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.17 per common share issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of February 6, 2020. A cash dividend of $67.7 million was paid on February 14, 2020, and dividend equivalents of $1.3 million were accrued on unvested equity awards. The total $69.0 million associated with the dividend was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

On April 16, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.17 per common share issued and outstanding to the holders of record as of April 30, 2020. A cash dividend of $67.6 million was paid on May 15, 2020, and dividend equivalents of $1.2 million were accrued on unvested equity awards. The total $68.8 million associated with the dividend was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) Shares

We have approximately 25.2 million outstanding common shares that are held by the Markit Group Holdings Limited Employee Benefit Trust. The trust is under our control using the variable interest entity model criteria; consequently, we have consolidated and classified the trust shares as treasury shares within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~12.~~16.	Segment Information

We prepare our financial reports and analyze our business results within our four operating segments: Financial Services, Transportation, Resources, ~~Transportation, CMS,~~ and ~~Financial Services.~~CMS. We evaluate revenue performance at the segment level and by transaction type. No single customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our total revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2019~~2020 and May 31, ~~2018.~~2019. There are no material inter-segment revenues for any period presented. Our shared services function includes corporate transactions that are not allocated to the reportable segments, including net periodic pension and postretirement expense, as well as certain corporate functions such as investor relations, procurement, corporate development, and portions of finance, legal, and marketing.

We evaluate segment operating performance at the Adjusted EBITDA level for each of our four segments. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs and performance compensation, exceptional litigation, net other gains and losses, pension mark-to-market and settlement expense, the impact of joint ventures and noncontrolling interests, and discontinued operations. Information about the operations of our four segments is set forth below (in millions).

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the financial condition and results of operations of IHS Markit Ltd. (“IHS Markit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) as of and for the periods presented. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References to ~~2019~~2020 are to our fiscal year ~~2019,~~2020, which began on December 1, ~~2018~~2019 and ends on November 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Executive Summary

Business Overview

We are a world leader in critical information, analytics, and solutions for the major industries and markets that drive economies worldwide. We deliver next-generation information, analytics, and solutions to customers in business, finance, and government, improving their operational efficiency and providing deep insights that lead to well-informed, confident

decisions. We have more than 50,000 business and government customers, including 80 percent of the Fortune Global 500 and the world’s leading financial institutions. Headquartered in London, we are committed to sustainable, profitable growth.

To best serve our customers, we are organized into the following four industry-focused segments:


•	Financial Services, which includes our financial Information, Solutions, and Processing product offerings;


•	Transportation, which includes our Automotive and Maritime & Trade product offerings;


•	Resources, which includes our Upstream, Downstream, Power, Chemical, and Agricultural product offerings;


•	Consolidated Markets & Solutions, which includes our Product Design; Economics & Country Risk (“ECR”), and Rootmetrics product offerings.

•~~Resources, which includes our Energy and Chemicals product offerings;~~

~~Transportation,~~ ~~which includes our Automotive; Maritime & Trade; and Aerospace, Defense & Security product offerings;~~

~~Consolidated Markets & Solutions,~~ ~~which includes our Product Design; Technology, Media & Telecom (“TMT”); and Economics & Country Risk (“ECR”) product offerings; and~~

~~Financial Services, which includes our financial Information, Processing, and Solutions product offerings, as well as our product offerings from Ipreo, our recent acquisition.~~

We believe that this sales and operating model helps our customers do business with us by providing a cohesive, consistent, and effective product, sales, and marketing approach by segment.

On December 2, 2019, we completed the divestiture of our Aerospace & Defense (“A&D”) business line for approximately $466 million, which was previously included in our Transportation segment. Proceeds from the divestiture were primarily used to fund our first quarter accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”).

Our recurring fixed revenue and recurring variable revenue represented approximately 8488 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended May 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Our recurring revenue is generally stable and predictable, and we have long-term relationships with many of our customers.

For ~~2019,~~the six months ended May 31, 2020, we ~~are focusing~~focused our efforts on the following actions:

~~Increase in geographic, product, and customer penetration.~~

•

Increase in geographic, product, and customer penetration. We believe ~~that~~ there are continued opportunities to add new customers and to increase the use of our products and services by existing customers. We plan to add new customers and build our relationships with existing customers by leveraging our existing sales channels, broad product portfolio, global footprint, and industry expertise to anticipate and respond to the changing demands of our end markets.

•

Introduce innovative offerings and enhancements. In recent years, we have launched several new product offerings addressing a wide array of customer needs, and we expect to continue to innovate using our existing data sets and industry expertise, converting core information to higher value advanced analytics. Our investment priorities are primarily in energy, automotive, and financial services, and we intend to continue to invest across our business to increase our customer value proposition.

•

Balance capital allocation. We will continue to manage to our capital policy target leverage ratio, and intend to return 50 to 75 percent of our annual capital capacity to shareholders through share repurchases and a quarterly dividend. We will continue to evaluate the long-term potential and strategic fit of our asset portfolio, and we will also continue to evaluate potential mergers and acquisitions, focused primarily on targeted transactions in our core end markets that will allow us to continue to build out our strategic position.

•

Respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have strengthened our position as a trusted partner with customers by helping them assess, plan, and respond to the challenges within each of their markets. From an employee standpoint, we transitioned to a global work-at-home model and believe that employee productivity has maintained during this period. We also took proactive cost reduction actions to address both near-term necessities and long-term optimization opportunities. These actions will help us to protect against further downside revenue risk, if needed, and to invest in additional initiatives to support our long-term growth. We continue to carefully monitor and evaluate the potential length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In early March 2020, we cancelled all of our large customer events scheduled for the second quarter of 2020. The cancellation of those events reduced non-recurring revenue by approximately $50 million. In our Transportation segment, we saw a near-term disruption to consumer spending that impacted our automotive customers, and we voluntarily provided temporary price relief for our dealer customers in an effort to mitigate the sudden negative impact on their sales. In our Resources segment, we experienced pressure as a result of significantly lower oil prices and the related decrease in capital expenditure spending. We anticipate a continuing adverse impact on our Resources revenue as our annual subscription contracts

come up for renewal and our customers focused on cost management make decisions about the amount of products and services ~~by existing customers. We plan to add new customers and build~~they purchase from us. In our ~~relationships with existing customers by leveraging our existing sales channels, broad product portfolio, global footprint, and industry expertise to anticipate and respond to the changing demands~~Financial Services segment, we experienced lower revenue within certain of our ~~end markets.~~

~~Introduce innovative offerings and enhancements.~~ ~~In recent years, we have launched several new~~Solutions product offerings ~~addressing a wide array of customer needs, and we expect~~due to continue to innovate using our existing data sets and industry expertise, converting core information to higher value advanced analytics. Our investment priorities are primarily in energy, automotive, and financialsome services ~~and we intend to continue to invest across our business to increase our customer value proposition.~~

being delayed.

~~Balance capital allocation.~~ As part of our capital allocation focus for the majority of 2019, we continue to de-lever to our capital policy target leverage ratio of 2.0-3.0x. Over the long term, we expect to balance capital allocation between returning capital to shareholders (through consistent share repurchases) and completing mergers and acquisitions, focused primarily on targeted transactions in our core end markets that will allow us to continue to build out our strategic position. In May 2019, we announced transactions that will result in the exchange of the majority of our Technology, Media, and Telecom (“TMT”) market intelligence assets for Informa’s Agribusiness Intelligence group. The agreements value the two businesses at equivalent EBITDA multiples, with Informa contributing an additional $30 million cash to IHS Markit to reflect the larger EBITDA contribution from the TMT market intelligence assets. Both transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. We expect that the Agribusiness Intelligence group will strengthen our Resources core end-market by building on our existing data, pricing, insights, forecasting, and news services within our chemical and downstream product offerings, and will expand our capability into fertilizers and chemical crop protection while expanding our capabilities in biofuels.

On June 19, 2019, we provided written notice to the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) that we intended to transfer the principal listing of our common shares from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), where they have been authorized for listing. We expect to voluntarily withdraw the listing and trading of the common shares from Nasdaq effective as of the close of trading on July 1, 2019 and to commence trading on the NYSE the following business day, July 2, 2019. The common shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under our current ticker symbol “INFO.”

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA (both in dollars and margin), and free cash flow are key financial measures of our success. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”).

Revenue growth. We review year-over-year revenue growth in our segments as a key measure of our success in addressing customer needs. We measure revenue growth in terms of organic, acquisitive, and foreign currency impacts. We define these components as follows:

•

Organic – We define organic revenue growth as total revenue growth from continuing operations for all factors other than acquisitions and foreign currency movements. We drive this type of revenue growth through value realization (pricing), expanding wallet share of existing customers through up-selling and cross-selling efforts, securing new customer business, and the sale of new or enhanced product offerings.


•	Acquisitive – We define acquisitive revenue as the revenue generated from acquired products and services from the date of acquisition to the first anniversary date of that acquisition. This type of growth comes as a result of our strategy to purchase, integrate, and leverage the value of assets we acquire. We also include the impact of divestitures in this metric.

~~Organic~~ – We define organic revenue growth as total revenue growth from continuing operations for all factors other than acquisitions and foreign currency movements. We drive this type of revenue growth through value realization (pricing), expanding wallet share of existing customers through up-selling and cross-selling efforts, securing new customer business, and through the sale of new or enhanced product offerings.


•	Foreign currency – We define the foreign currency impact on revenue as the difference between current revenue at current exchange rates and current revenue at the corresponding prior period exchange rates. Due to the significance of revenue transacted in foreign currencies, we believe that it is important to measure the impact of foreign currency movements on revenue.

~~Acquisitive~~ – We define acquisitive revenue as the revenue generated from acquired products and services from the date of acquisition to the first anniversary date of that acquisition. This type of growth comes as a result of our strategy to purchase, integrate, and leverage the value of assets we acquire. We also include the impact of divestitures in this metric.

~~Foreign currency~~ – We define the foreign currency impact on revenue as the difference between current revenue at current exchange rates and current revenue at the corresponding prior period exchange rates. Due to the significance of revenue transacted in foreign currencies, we believe that it is important to measure the impact of foreign currency movements on revenue.

In addition to measuring and reporting revenue by segment, we also measure and report revenue by transaction type. Understanding revenue by transaction type helps us identify and address broad changes in product mix. We summarize our transaction type revenue into the following three categories:

•

Recurring variable revenue represents revenue from contracts that specify a fee for services, which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is usually paid monthly in arrears. Recurring variable revenue is based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management, or the number of positions we value. Most of these contracts have an initial term ranging from one to five years, with auto-renewal periods thereafter. Recurring variable revenue was derived entirely from the Financial Services segment for all periods presented.


•	Non-recurring revenue represents consulting, services, single-document product sales, perpetual license sales and associated services, conferences and events, and advertising. Our non-recurring products and services are an important part of our business because they complement our recurring business in creating strong and comprehensive customer relationships.

~~Recurring fixed revenue~~ represents revenue generated from contracts specifying a relatively fixed fee for services delivered over the life of the contract. The fixed fee is typically paid annually or more periodically in advance. These contracts typically consist of subscriptions to our various information offerings and software maintenance, which provide continuous access to our platforms and associated data over the contract term. The revenue is usually recognized ratably over the contract term or for term-based software license arrangements, annually on renewal. The initial term of these contracts is typically annual and non-cancellable for the term of the subscription and may contain provisions for minimum monthly payments.

~~Recurring variable revenue~~ represents revenue from contracts that specify a fee for services, which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is usually paid monthly in arrears. Recurring variable revenue is based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management, or the number of positions we value. Many of these contracts do not have a maturity date, while the remainder have an initial term ranging from one to five years. Recurring variable revenue was derived entirely from the Financial Services segment for all periods presented.

~~Non-recurring revenue~~ represents consulting (e.g., research and analysis, modeling, and forecasting), services, single-document product sales, perpetual license sales and associated services, conferences and events, and advertising. Our non-recurring products and services are an important part of our business because they complement our recurring business in creating strong and comprehensive customer relationships.

Non-GAAP measures. We use non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow in our operational and financial decision-making. We believe that such measures allow us to focus on what we deem to be more reliable indicators of ongoing operating performance (Adjusted EBITDA) and our ability to generate cash flow from operations (free cash flow). We also believe that investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although we caution readers that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures or disclosures. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income or operating cash flow as an indicator of operating performance or any other U.S. GAAP measure.

Throughout this MD&A, we provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

•

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to assess our operating performance. For example, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under our revolving credit agreement. We define EBITDA as net income plus or minus net interest, plus provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA further excludes primarily non-cash items and other items that we do not consider to be useful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs and performance compensation, exceptional litigation, net other gains and losses, pension mark-to-market, settlement, and other expense, the impact of joint ventures and noncontrolling interests, and discontinued operations).


•	Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less payments for acquisition-related performance compensation and capital expenditures.

~~EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA~~. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by many of our investors, research analysts, investment bankers, and lenders to assess our operating performance. For example, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under our revolving credit agreement. We define EBITDA as net income plus or minus net interest, plus provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA further excludes primarily non-cash items and other items that we do not consider to be useful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges,

acquisition-related costs and performance compensation, exceptional litigation, net other gains and losses, pension mark-to-market and other adjustments, the impact of joint ventures and noncontrolling interests, and discontinued operations).

~~Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.~~

Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. These measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because we believe ~~that~~ the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of U.S. GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with higher U.S. GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, excluding the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. They are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition or liquidity, and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, these performance measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Global Operations

Approximately 40 percent of our revenue is transacted outside of the United States; however, only about 20 percent of our revenue is transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, a strengthening U.S. dollar relative to certain currencies has historically resulted in a negative impact on our revenue; conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has historically resulted in a positive impact on our revenue. ~~However, the impact on operating income is diminished due to certain operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.~~ Our largest foreign currency exposures for revenue are the British Pound, Euro, and Canadian ~~Dollar, Singapore Dollar, and Indian Rupee.~~Dollar.

~~We saw solid organic~~Organic revenue growth in ~~our Transportation, Resources,~~the Financial Services and ~~Financial Services~~CMS segments for the three and six months endedMay 31, ~~2019~~,2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018.~~

~~Acquisitive~~2019, was more than offset by organic revenue ~~growth~~declines in the Transportation and Resources segments, due to the current economic environment impacting primarily the dealer-facing products in Transportation and Upstream products in Resources, as well as our event cancellations in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of our event cancellations, organic revenue declined 3 percent and grew 1 percent for the three and six months endedMay 31, ~~2019~~,2020, respectively.

The acquisitive revenue change for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018,~~2019, was primarily due to the ~~Ipreo acquisition in~~A&D divestiture and sale of our TMT market intelligence assets, partially offset by the ~~third quarter of 2018.~~Agribusiness acquisition.

The percentage change in revenue for each segment was due to the factors described in the following table.

~~Resources~~Financial Services revenue for the three and six months endedMay 31, ~~2019~~,2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018, experienced positive~~2019, increased organically from strength across our Information and Processing product offerings, while Solutions product offerings had lower growth. Within our Information product offerings, organic revenue growth ~~with 4 percent~~was led by our core pricing, valuation, equities, and ~~5 percent recurring~~indices offerings. Within our Solutions product offerings, organic revenue growth ~~respectively,~~was slightly negative in the three months ended May 31, 2020, due to a difficult year-over-year comparison and some services being delayed, but was partially offset by continued strength in private capital markets and corporate actions offerings. Within our Processing product offerings, organic revenue growth was led by increased derivative processing activity as a result of increased market volatility.

Transportation revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2019, experienced a significant slowdown in organic growth as a result of the COVID-19 impact on our automotive offerings. Revenue from the dealer-facing portion of our automotive offerings was negatively impacted by our temporary price relief for dealer customers, a pause in new sales activity, and 11cancellations from financially distressed customers. Non-recurring organic revenue growth was also down for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, reflecting lower recall and marketing revenues. Our automotive product offerings continue to provide the largest contribution to Transportation revenue, and our diversification in used and new car product offerings allows for balanced opportunities for growth. A portion of our Transportation revenue decline was also due to the cancellation of certain Maritime events; excluding the events cancellations, Transportation organic revenue declined 16 percent and 134 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020.

Resources revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2019, experienced significant organic revenue declines, primarily as a result of the cancellation of our annual CERAWeek event in March 2020. Excluding events cancellations, our Resources segment for the three months ended May 31, 2020, had a 1 percent organic revenue decline, comprised of 1 percent recurring growth, offset by 15 percent non-recurring decline. Excluding events cancellations, organic revenue growth ~~respectively.~~was flat for the six months ended May 31, 2020. Our Resources annual contract value (“ACV”), which represents the annualized value of recurring revenue contracts, ~~grew at a 4~~decreased $20

Recurring variable revenue was composed entirely of Financial Services revenue.2020.

The non-recurring organic revenue increases for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, was primarily due to strength in Solutions product offerings within the Financial Services segment, with positive contributions also coming from the Resources and Transportation segments. The increases were partially offset by lower revenues in the CMS segment from sales of the most current BPVC engineering standard, which was last released in the third quarter of 2017.

The following table shows our operating expenses and the associated percentages of revenue.

Cost of Revenue and SG&A Expense

In managing our business, we evaluate our costs by type (e.g., salaries and benefits, facilities, IT) rather than by income statement classification. The ~~increases~~decreases in absolute total cost of revenue and SG&A expense were ~~primarily~~largely due to the ~~Ipreo acquisition.

~~Acquisition-related Costs~~Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Please refer to Note 68 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of costs associated with our recent cost reduction initiatives. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, we recorded approximately $81.3 million and $85.8 million, respectively, of direct and incremental costs associated with restructuring and impairment charges, including employee severance and the abandonment or partial abandonment of various office locations around the world.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Please refer to Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of costs associated with our integration and other acquisition-related activities. During the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we recorded approximately ~~$44.2~~$6.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of direct and incremental costs associated with acquisition and divestiture activities, primarily for performance compensation expense related to the aM acquisition, but also including employee severance charges and retention costs, contract termination costs for facility consolidations, and legal and professional fees.activities.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

For the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the three months ended May 31, 2020, and increased for the six months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to ~~the Ipreo acquisition and~~ the leverage in our business model ~~as incremental~~and cost reduction efforts, partially offset by the sale of our A&D business line and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic disruption on our revenue ~~drives higher margins.~~growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, ~~2019~~2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~110~~207.8 million. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, and amounts available under a revolving credit facility. We had approximately ~~$5.26~~$5.39 billion of debt as of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, consisting primarily of ~~$995 million~~$497.0 of revolving facility debt and ~~$4.30~~$4.68 billion of senior notes. As of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had approximately ~~$1.00 billion~~$751.7 million available under our revolving credit facility.

In January 2019, we repaid the 364-Day Credit Agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In April 2019, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes and used the proceeds, along with minor additional borrowings under the 2018 revolving facility, to repay all of our term loan debt, in-line with our goal of terming out our capital structure, with fixed rate debt at approximately 90 percent of total debt as of May 31, 2019.

Our interest expense for the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to the three and six months ended May 31, ~~2018, increased~~2019, decreased primarily because of ~~a higher average debt balance due~~lower floating interest rates in 2020 compared to the ~~Ipreo acquisition, as well as a higher effective interest rate due to an increased amount~~prior year.

Our Board of ~~longer term fixed-rate debt.~~Directors approved quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 per share during each of the first and second quarter of 2020, which resulted in approximately $135.3 million of cash payouts during 2020.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to ~~$3.25~~$2.5 billion of IHS Markit common shares through November 30, ~~2019,~~2021, to be funded using our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and future cash flows, or through the incurrence of short- or long-term indebtedness, at management’s discretion. This repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any set dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice. Under this program, we are authorized to repurchase our common shares on the open market from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions, or through accelerated share repurchase agreements, subject to availability of common shares, price, market conditions, alternative uses of capital, and applicable regulatory requirements, at management’s discretion. ~~As of May 31,~~In December 2019, we ~~had repurchased approximately $2.24 billion~~entered into an ASR to repurchase $500 million under this authorization, and in March 2020, we entered into an ASR to repurchase $250 million under this authorization.

Our Board of Directors has separately authorized, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, the repurchase of our common shares surrendered by employees in an amount equal to the exercise price, if applicable, and statutory tax liability associated with the vesting of their equity awards, for which we pay the statutory tax on behalf of the employee and forgo receipt of the exercise price of the award from the employee, if applicable. Such repurchases have been authorized in addition to the share repurchase program described above.

Based on our cash, debt, and cash flow positions, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the number and magnitude of future acquisitions, amount of share repurchases and dividends, the need for additional facilities or facility improvements, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, information technology infrastructure investments, investments in our internal business applications, and the continued market acceptance of our offerings. We could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings; however, additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. Given current market conditions as a result of COVID-19, we are focused on maintaining high levels of liquidity and capital structure flexibility. We maintain a solid balance sheet, investor grade rating, a well-positioned debt maturity ladder, and a strong diversified bank group. We expect to return to share repurchases later this year or early next year while maintaining our capital policy target of operating within our 2.0-3.0x gross leverage range.

The ~~increase~~decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to ~~improved operating~~$75.9 million of payments for acquisition-related performance compensation associated with the aM acquisition described in Note 2, as well as distributions associated with the settlement of our U.S. and U.K. pension plans, incremental cash tax payments associated with recent divestiture activity, and negative impacts on working capital ~~activities, partially offset by higher bonus payments and higher interest payments in~~from the ~~six months ended May 31, 2019.~~current market conditions.

The increase in net cash ~~used in~~provided by investing activities was primarily due to the ~~increase in acquisition activity and capital expenditures compared to~~sale of the ~~prior year.~~A&D business line.

The increase in net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the $750 million in share repurchases and our ~~efforts to de-lever the company in 2019 following the acquisition of Ipreo in the third quarter of 2018~~dividend payout, partially offset by ~~reducing debt balances, compared to 2018, when our financing cash flows were used to repurchase shares.~~increased proceeds from stock option exercises.

Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure)

The following table reconciles our non-GAAP free cash flow measure to net cash provided by operating activities.

The ~~increase~~decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to higher ~~net cash provided by operating activities through continuing operational improvements, partially offset by higher~~ capital expenditure ~~activity.~~activity, distributions associated with the settlement of our U.S. and U.K. pension plans, incremental cash tax payments associated with recent divestitures, and negative impacts on working capital from the current market conditions. The payments for acquisition-related performance compensation are associated with the exercise of put provisions by aM equity interest holders, as further described in Note 2. Our free cash flow has historically been positive due to the robust cash generation attributes of our business model, and we expect that it will continue to be a significant source of funding for our business strategy of growth through organic and acquisitive means.

Credit Facility and Other Debt

Please refer to Note 46 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the current status of our debt arrangements.

Share Repurchase Programs

Please refer to Note 1014 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to Part II, Item 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our share repurchase programs.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We have no off-balance sheet transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in our accounting for revenue recognition, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, ~~pensions,~~ and stock-based compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their anticipated effect on our business.

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~Borrowings under the 2018~~Our 2019 revolving facility and 2019 credit agreement are subject to variable interest rates. We use interest rate swaps in order to fix a portion of our variable rate debt as part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy. As of May 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~approximately $995~~$747 million of floating-rate debt at a ~~3.91~~1.37 percent weighted-average interest ~~rate, of which $400 million was subject to effective floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.~~rate. A hypothetical increase in interest

rates of 100 basis points applied to our floating rate indebtedness would increase ~~our~~ annual interest expense by approximately ~~$6.0~~$4.5 million ($~~10.0~~7.5 million without giving effect to any of our interest rate swaps).

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act are effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports required to be filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
