DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Moody’s is a provider of ( i ) credit ratings, (ii) credit, capital markets and economic research, data and analytical tools, (iii) software solutions and related risk management services, (iv) quantitative credit risk measures, financial services training and certification services a nd (v) outsourced research and analytical services. Moody’s has two reportable segments: MIS and MA. MIS, the credit rating agency, publishes credit ratings on a wide range of debt obligations and the entities that issue such obl igations in markets worldwide. Revenue is primarily derived from the originators and issuers of such transactions who use MIS ratings in the distribution of their debt issues to investors. Additionally, MIS earns revenue from certain non-ratings-related operations which consist primarily of the distribution of research and fixed income pricing services in the Asia-Pacific region and outsourced services. The revenue from these operations is included in the MIS Other LOB and is not material to the results of the MIS segment. The MA segment develops a wide range of products and services that support financial analysis and risk management activities of institutional participants in global financial markets. Within its Research, Data and Analytics business, MA distributes research and data developed by MIS as part of its ratings process, including in-depth research on major debt issuers, industry studies and commentary on topical credit-related events. The RD&A business also produces economic research as well as data and analytical tools such as quantitative credit risk scores. Within its Enterprise Risk Solutions business, MA provides software solutions as well as related risk management services. The Professional Services business provides outsourced researc h and analytical services along with financial training and certification programs. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated fin ancial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2014 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2015 . The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any subsequent period. In th e opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The year- end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |

INCOME TAXES | NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES Moody’s effective tax rate was 30.4% and 33.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively , and 31.5% for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The decrease in the quarterly ETR was the result of a state tax ruling and a change in New York City tax law , both relating to income apportionment , which were the principal reason s for the $14.3 million ( $8.5 million net of federal tax) decrease in UTPs duri ng the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2015 UTPs decreased $12.1 million ( $7.6 mil lion net of federal tax ). The Company classifies interest related to UTPs in interest expense, net in its consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized in other non-operating (expense) income, net. Moody’s Corporation and subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010 are under examination and its returns for 2011 through 2013 remain open to examination. The Company’s New York State tax returns for 2011 through 2013 are currently under examina tion and the Company’s New York City tax return for 2013 is currently under examination. The Company’s U.K. tax return for 2012 is currently under examination and its tax return for 2013 remains open to examination. For ongoing audits, it is possible the balan ce of UTBs could decrease in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of these audits, which might involve the payment of additional taxes, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or the recognition of tax benefits. It is also possible tha t new issues might be raised by tax authorities which could necessitate increases to the balance of UTBs. As the Company is unable to predict the timing or outcome of these audits, it is therefore unable to estimate the amount of changes to the balance of UTBs at this time. However, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for its financial exposure relating to all open tax years by tax jurisdiction in accordance with the applicable provisions of Topic 740 of the ASC regarding UTBs.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to global market risks, including risks from changes in FX rates and changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the Company uses derivatives in certain instances to manage the aforementioned financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes. Derivatives and non-derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges: Interest Rate Swaps In the second quarter of 201 4 , the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $250 million to convert the fixed interest rate on the 2010 Senior Notes to a floating interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR . In the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $ 250 million to convert the fixed interest rate on the remaining balance of the 2010 Senior Notes to a floating interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. T he purpose of th ese hedge s is to mitigate the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the 2010 Senior Notes , thus the Company has designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The fair value of the swaps is adjusted quarterly with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the 2010 Senior Notes. The changes in the fair value of the hedges and the underlying hedged item generally offset and the net cash settlements on the swaps are recorded each period within interest income (expense) , net , in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $ 250 million to convert the fixed interest rate on a portion of the 2014 Senior Notes (5-year ) to a floating interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR . In the first quarter of 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $ 200 million to convert the fixed interest rate on the remaining balance of the 2014 Senior Notes (5-year) to a floating interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The purpose of these hedges is to mitigate the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the 2014 Senior Notes (5-year), thus the Company has designated these swaps as fair val ue hedges. The fair value of the swaps is adjusted quarterly with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the 2014 Senior Notes (5-year). The changes in the fair value of the hedges and the underlying hedged item generally offset and the net ca sh settlements on the swaps are recorded each period within interest income (expense), net, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the impact to the statement of operations of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges: Amount of income/(expense) recognized in the consolidated statements of operations Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, Derivatives designated as fair value accounting hedges Location on Statement of Operations 2015 2014 2015 2014 Interest rate swaps Interest income(expense), net $ 4.1 $ 2.0 $ 7.6 $ 0.5 Net investment hedges The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as net investment hedges and additionally has designated € 400 million of the 2015 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge. These hedges are intended to mitigate FX exposure related to non-U.S. dollar net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries against changes in foreign exchange rates. These net investment hedges are designated as accounting hedges under the applicable sections of Topic 815 o f the ASC. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the hedge on a pre-tax basis. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, any change in the fair value for the hedge is recorded in AOCI. Any change in t he fair value of these hedges that is the result of ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in other non-operating (expense) income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the notional amounts of the Company ’s outstanding net investment hedges: June 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Notional amount of net investment hedges: Long-term debt designated as net investment hedge € 400.0 € - Contracts to sell euros for USD € - € 50.0 Contracts to sell Japanese yen for USD ¥ 19,400 ¥ 19,400 The outstanding contracts to sell Japanese yen for USD expire in November 2015. The hedge relating to the portion of the 2015 Senior Notes that was designated as a net investment hedge will end upon the repayment of the notes in 2027 unless terminated earlier at the discretion of the Company. The following table provides information on the gains/(losses) on the Company’s net investment hedges: Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in AOCI on Derivative (Effective Portion) Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 FX forwards $ 2.1 $ (1.6) Long-term debt (9.7) - Total $ (7.6) $ (1.6) Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 FX forwards $ 13.4 $ (3.7) Long-term debt (2.1) - Total $ 11.3 $ (3.7) The cumulative amount of realized and unrecognized net investment hedge gains recorded in AOCI is as follows: Gains/(Losses), net of tax June 30, December 31, 2015 2014 FX forwards $ 34.3 $ 20.9 Long-term debt (2.1) - Total gains on net investment hedges $ 32.2 $ 20.9 Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges: Foreign exchange forwards The Company also enters into foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the change in fair value on certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency. These forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges under the applicable sections of Topic 815 of the ASC. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized immediately in other non-operating (expense) income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations along wit h the FX gain or loss recognized on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. These contracts have expiration dates at various times through October 2015.

The purpose of this cross-currency swap is to mitigate FX risk on the remaining principal balance on the 2015 Senior Notes that was not designated as a net investment hedge as more fully discussed above. The Company has not designated these cross-currency swaps as accounting hedges. According ly, changes in fair value on these swaps is recognized immediately in other non-operating (expense), income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations along with the FX gain or loss recognized on the €100 million principal of the 2015 Seni or Notes that was not designated as a net investment hedge. Under the terms of the swap, the Company will pay the counterparty interest on the $ 110.5 million received at 3.945 % per annum and the counterparty will pay the Company interest on the € 100 millio n paid at 1.75 % per annum. These interest payments will be settled in March of each year, beginning in 2016, until either the maturity of the cross- currency swap in 2027 or upon early termination at the discretion of the Company. The principal payments o n this cross currency swap will be settled in 2027, concurrent with the repayment of the 2015 Senior Notes.

ACQUISITIONS | NOTE 6. ACQUISITIONS The business combinations described below are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at fair value on the date of the transaction . Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded to goodwill. T he Company has not presented proforma combined results because the impact on previously reported statements of operations w ould not have been material. These acquisitions are discussed below in more detail. Equilibrium On May 21, 2015 , a subsidiary of the Company acquired 100 % of Equilibrium , a provider of credit rating and research services in Peru and Panama. The aggregate purchase price was not material and the near term impact to the Company’s operations and cash flows is not expect ed to be material. Equilibrium operates in the MIS reportable segment and goodwill related to this acquisition has been alloca ted to the MIS reporting unit. Lewtan Technologies On October 27, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company acquired 100 % of Lewtan Technologies, a leading provider of analytical tools and data for the global structured finance market. The acquisition of Lewtan will bolster MA’s Structured Analytics and Valuations (SAV) business within its RD&A LOB, which provides an extensive data and analytics library for securitized assets. The aggregate purchase price and the near term impact to the Company’s operations and cash flows is not material. Lewtan operate s in the RD&A LOB of MA and goodwill related to this acquisition was allocated to the RD&A reporting unit. WebEquity Solutions , LLC On July 17, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company acquired 100 % of WebEquity Solutions, LLC, a leading provider of cloud-based loan origination solutions for financial institutions. The cash payment of $ 130.5 million was funded with cash. This acquisition will enhance MA’s risk management product portfolio. Shown below is the purchase price allocation, which summarizes the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed, at the date of the acquisition: Current assets $ 3.0 Property and equipment, net 2.3 Intangible assets: Client relationships (18 year weighted average life) $ 42.8 Software (15 year weighted average life) 11.5 Trade name (4 year weighted average life) 0.5 Total intangible assets (17 year weighted average life) 54.8 Goodwill 77.6 Liabilities assumed (7.2) Net assets acquired $ 130.5 The acquired goodwill, which has been assigned to the MA segment, is tax deductible . As of the date of the acquisition, WebEquity is part of the ERS reporting unit. ICRA Limited On June 26 , 2014, a subs idiary of the Company acquired 2,154,722 ad ditional shares of ICRA Limited, a publicly traded company in India . ICRA is a leading provider of credit ratings and research in India and will extend MIS’s reach in the growing domestic debt market in India as well as other emerging markets in the region. The acquisition of the additional shares increased Moody’s ownershi p stake in ICRA from 28.5 % to 50.06 %, resulting in a controlling interest in ICRA. Accordingly, the C ompany consolidated ICRA’s financial statements. Moody’s consolidates ICRA’s financial statements on a three month lag. Prior to the acquisition of the additional shares, Moody’s accounted for its investment in ICRA on an equity basis whereby the Company r ecorded its proportional share of the investment’s net income or loss as part of other non-operating income (expense), net . The acquisition of the additional shares has resulted in the Company consolidating ICRA into its financial statements. As a result of this consolidation and in a ccordance with ASC 805, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in ICRA was remeasured to fair value as of the acquisition date result ing in a pre-tax gain of $102.8 million ( $78.5 m illion after-tax) in second quarter of 2014. The fair value of the Company’s equity investment was based on ICRA’s quoted market price on the date of acquisition. The table below details the total consideration relating to the ICRA step-acquisition: Cash paid $ 86.0 Fair value of equity interest in ICRA prior to obtaining a controlling interest 124.9 Total consideration $ 210.9 Current assets $ 25.4 Property and equipment, net 15.1 Intangible assets: Trade name (36 year weighted average life) $ 46.8 Client relationships (19 year weighted average life) 33.8 Other (17 year weighted average life)* 18.3 Total intangible assets (26 year weighted average life) 98.9 Goodwill 296.7 Other assets 56.3 Liabilities (62.7) Fair value of non-controlling interest assumed (218.8) Net assets acquired $ 210.9 * Primarily consists of acquired technical know-how and ratings methodologies Current assets in the table above include acquired cash of approximately $ 5 million. Additionally, current assets includes gross accounts receivable of approximately $ 14 million, of which an immaterial amount is not expected to be collectible. Goodwill, which has been assigned to the MIS segment, is not deductible for tax. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined based on the quoted market price per share of ICRA on the date that the Company acquired the controlling stake. ICRA operates as its own reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment assessment. |

FAIR VALUE | NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE The ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy whereby the inputs contained in valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 : quoted market prices in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the date of the fair value measurement; Level 2 : inputs other than quoted market prices described in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; Level 3 : unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. The table below presents information about items which are carried at fair value at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 : Fair Value Measurement as of June 30, 2015 Description Balance Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivatives (a) $ 29.5 $ - $ 29.5 $ - Money market mutual funds 135.2 135.2 - - Fixed maturity and open ended mutual funds (b) 45.1 45.1 - - Total $ 209.8 $ 180.3 $ 29.5 $ - Liabilities: Derivatives (a) $ 6.3 $ - $ 6.3 $ - Contingent consideration arising from acquisitions (c) 2.0 - - 2.0 Total $ 8.3 $ - $ 6.3 $ 2.0 Fair Value Measurement as of December 31, 2014 Description Balance Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivatives (a) $ 41.8 $ - $ 41.8 $ - Money market mutual funds 149.7 149.7 - - Fixed maturity and open ended mutual funds (b) 48.0 48.0 - - Total $ 239.5 $ 197.7 $ 41.8 $ - Liabilities: Derivatives (a) $ 2.1 $ - $ 2.1 $ - Contingent consideration arising from acquisitions (c) 2.1 - - 2.1 Total $ 4.2 $ - $ 2.1 $ 2.1 (a) Represents interest rate swaps, FX forwards on certain assets and liabilities as well as cross-currency swaps as more fully described in Note 7 to the financial statements. (b) Represents investments in fixed maturity mutual funds and open ended mutual funds. The remaining contractual maturities for the fixed maturity instruments range from one month to 25 months and two months to 23 months June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. (c) Represents contingent consideration liabilities pursuant to the agreements for the CSI acquisition. The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities: Contingent Consideration Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Balance as of January 1 $ 2.1 $ 17.5 Total losses (realized and unrealized): Included in earnings - (0.2) Foreign currency translation adjustments (0.1) (0.1) Balance as of June 30 $ 2.0 $ 17.2 The $ 2.0 million of contingent consideration is classified in accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The following are descriptions of the methodologies utilized by the Company to estimate the fair value of its derivative contracts, fixed maturity plans and contingent consideration obligations: Derivatives: In determining the fair value of the derivative contracts, the Company utilizes industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models proj ect future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using spot rates, forward points, currency volatilities, interest rates as well as the risk of non-performance of the Company and the counterparties with whom it has derivative contra cts. The Company established strict counterparty credit guidelines and only enters into transactions with financial institutions that adhere to these guidelines. Accordingly, the risk of counterparty default is deemed to be minimal. Fixed maturity and ope n ended mutual funds: The fixed maturity mutual funds and open ended mutual funds primarily represent exchange traded funds in India and are classified as securities available-for-sale. Accordingly, any unrealized gains and losses are recognized through OC I until the instruments mature or are sold. Money market mutual funds: The money market mutual funds represent publicly traded funds with a stable $1 net asset value. Contingent consideration: At June 30, 2015 , the Company has a contingent consideration obligation related to the acquisition of CSI which is carried at estimated fair value, and is based on certain non-financial metrics set forth in the acquisition agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Company also had contingent consideration obli gations related to the acquisitions of Copal and Amba . These obligation s were measured using Level 3 inputs as defined in the ASC. The Company records the obligations for these contingent consideration arrangements on the date of each respective acquisit ion based on management’s best estimates of the achievement of the metrics and the value of the obligations are adjusted quarterly. The contingent consideration obligation for CSI is based on the achievement of a contractual milestone by January 2016. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to value this obligation. The future expected cash flow for this obligation is discounted using an interest rate available to borrowers with similar credit risk profiles to that of the Company . The most significant unobservable input involved in the measurement of this obligation is the probability that the milestone will be reached by January 2016. At June 30, 2015 , the Company expects that this milestone will be reached by the aforementioned date. For certain of the contingent consideration obligations relatin g to the acquisition of Copal, a portion of the contingent cash payments were based on revenue and EBITDA growth for certain of the Copal entities. This growth was cal culated by comparing revenue and EBITDA in the year immediately prior to the exercise of the put/call option to acquire the remaining 33 % ownership interest of Copal Partners Limited, to revenue and EBITDA in Copal’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Paym ents of $ 12.2 million under this arrangement were made in the fourth quarter of 2014 pursuant to the Company exercising its call option to acquire the remaining shares of Copal Amba . The Company had utilized discounted cash flow methodologies to value th ese obligations prior to their settlement in 2014. The expected future cash flows for these obligations were discounted using a risk-free interest rate plus a credit spread based on the option adjusted spread of the Company’s publicly traded debt as of th e valuation date plus sovereign and size risk premiums. The most significant unobservable input involved in the measurement of these obligations was the projected future financial results of the applicable Copal Amba entities. For the contingent conside ration obligations relating to the acquisition of Amba , the payment was based on the acquired entity achieving a revenue target for its fiscal year ended March 31 , 201 4 which was met resulting in a $ 4.3 million payment in the third quarter of 2014. |

This replaces the $ 1 billion five-year 2012 Facility that was scheduled to expire in April 2017. Interest on borrowings under the facility is payable at rates that are based on the LIBOR plus a premium that can range from 79.5 basis points to 120 basis points per annum depending on the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The Company also pays quarterly facil ity fees, regardless of borrowing activity under the 2015 Facility. The quarterly fees for the 2015 Facility can range from 8 basis points of the facility amount to 17.5 basis points, depending on the Company’s Debt/ EBITDA ratio. The 2015 Facility contain s covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, without the approval of lenders, to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions or to incur li ens, as set forth in the facility agreement. The 2015 Facility also contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a Debt/EBITDA ratio of not more than 4 to 1 at the end of any fiscal quarter. Upon the occurrence of certain financial o r economic events, significant corporate events or certain other events of default constituting a default under the 2015 Facility, all loans outstanding under the 2015 Facility (includ ing accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) may be declared immedia tely due and payable and all commitments under the 2015 Facility may be terminated. In addition, certain other events of default under the 2015 Facility would automatically result in amounts outstanding becoming immediately due and payable and the termination of all commitments . On March 9, 2015, the Company issued € 500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in a public offering. The 2015 Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.75 % and mature on March 9, 2027. Interest on the 2015 Senior Notes is due annually on March 9 of each year, commencing March 9, 2016. The Company may prepay the 2015 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a Make-Whole Amount. Additionally, at the option of the holders of the notes, the Company 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 2015 Indenture, at a price equal to 101 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The 2015 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries t o, among other things, incur or create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the 2015 Indenture contains a covenant that limits the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with another entity or to sell all or substantia lly all of its assets to another entity. The 2015 Indenture contains customary default provisions. In addition, an event of default will occur if the Company or certain of its subsidiaries fail to pay the principal of any indebtedness (as defined in the 20 15 Indenture) when due at maturity in an aggregate amount of $ 50 million or more, or a default occurs that results in the acceleration of the maturity of the Company’s or certain of its subsidiaries’ indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $ 50 million or mo re. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the 2015 Indenture, the 2015 Senior Notes may become immediately due and payable either automatically or by the vote of the holders of more than 25 % of the aggregate principal amount of all of the notes then outstanding. The Company has designated €400 million of the 2015 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge as more fully discussed in Note 7. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps on the 2010 Senior Notes and the 2014 Senior Notes (5-Year) which are more fully discussed in Note 7 above. A t June 30, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained within all of the debt agreements. T he 2015 Facility, the 2015 Indenture, the 2014 Indenture, the 2007 Agreement, the 2010 Senior Notes, th e 2012 Senior Notes and the 2013 Senior Notes contain cross default provisions. These provisions state that default under one of the aforementioned debt instruments could in turn permit lenders under other debt instruments to declare borrowings outstanding under those instruments to be immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2015 , there were no such cross defaults.

CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 14 . CONTINGENCIES Moody’s is involved in legal and tax proceedings, governmental investigations and inquiries, claims and litigation that are incidental to the Company’s business, including claims based on ratings assigned by MIS. Moody’s is also subject to ongoing tax audi ts in the normal course of business. Management periodically assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. Moody’s discloses material pending legal proceedings pursuant to SEC rules and other pending matters as it may determine to be appropriate. Following the global credit crisis of 2008, MIS and other credit rating agencies have been the subject of intense scrutiny, increased regulation, ongoing inquiry and governmental investigations, and civil litigation. Legislative, regulatory and enforcement entities around the world are considering additional legislation, regulation and enforcement actions, including with respect to MIS’s compliance with regulatory standards. Moody’ s periodically receives and is continuing to address subpoenas and inquiries from various governmental authorities, including the United States Department of Justice and states attorneys general, and is responding to such investigations and inquiries. In addition, the Company is facing litigation from market participants relating to the performance of MIS rated securities. Although Moody’s in the normal course experiences such litigation, the volume and cost of defending such litigation has significantly increased following the events in the U.S. subprime residential mortgage sector and global credit markets more broadly over the last several years. On August 25, 2008, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank filed a purported class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting numerous common-law causes of action against two subsidiaries of the Company, another rating agency, and Morgan Stanley & Co. The action related to securities issued by a structured investment vehicle c alled Cheyne Finance (the “Cheyne SIV”) and sought, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. The central allegation against the rating agency defendants was that the credit ratings assigned to the securities issued by the Cheyne SIV were fals e and misleading. In early proceedings, the court dismissed all claims against the rating agency defendants except those for fraud and aiding and abetting fraud. In June 2010, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for class certification, and additional pla intiffs were subsequently added to the complaint. In January 2012, the rating agency defendants moved for summary judgment with respect to the fraud and aiding and abetting fraud claims. Also in January 2012, in light of new New York state case law, the co urt permitted the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint that reasserted previously dismissed claims against all defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and related aiding and abetting claims. In May 2012, the cou rt, ruling on the rating agency defendants’ motion to dismiss, dismissed all of the reasserted claims except for the negligent misrepresentation claim, and on September 19, 2012, after further proceedings, the court also dismissed the negligent misrepresen tation claim. On August 17, 2012, the court ruled on the rating agencies’ motion for summary judgment on the plaintiffs’ remaining claims for fraud and aiding and abetting fraud. The court dismissed, in whole or in part, the fraud claims of four plaintiffs as against Moody’s but allowed the fraud claims to proceed with respect to certain claims of one of those plaintiffs and the claims of the remaining 11 plaintiffs. The court also dismissed all claims against Moody’s for aiding and abetting fraud. Three of the plaintiffs whose claims were dismissed filed motions for reconsideration, and on November 7, 2012, the court granted two of these motions, reinstating the claims of two plaintiffs that were previously dismissed. On February 1, 2013, the court dismisse d the claims of one additional plaintiff on jurisdictional grounds. Trial on the remaining fraud claims against the rating agencies, and on claims against Morgan Stanley for aiding and abetting fraud and for negligent misrepresentation, was scheduled for M ay 2013. On April 24, 2013, pursuant to confidential settlement agreements, the 14 plaintiffs with claims that had been ordered to trial stipulated to the voluntary dismissal, with prejudice, of these claims as against all defendants, and the court so orde red that stipulation on April 26, 2013. The settlement did not cover certain claims of two plaintiffs, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System (“PSERS”) and Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”), that were previously dismissed by t he Court. On May 23, 2013, these two plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Second Circuit, seeking reversal of the dismissal of their claims and also seeking reversal of the trial court’s denial of class certification. According to pleadings filed by plaintiffs in earlier proceedings, PSERS and Commerzbank AG seek, respectively, $ 5.75 million and $ 69.6 million in compensatory damages in connection with the two claims at issue on the appeal. In October 2014, the Second Circuit affirmed the denial of cla ss certification and the dismissal of PSERS’ claim but reversed a ruling of the trial court that had excluded certain evidence relevant to Commerzbank’s principal argument on appeal. The Second Circuit did not reverse the dismissal of Commerzbank’s claim b ut instead certified a legal question concerning Commerzbank’s argument to the New York Court of Appeals. The New York Court of Appeals subsequently agreed to hear the certified question, and on June 30, 2015, the Court of Appeals ruled in Moody’s favor. The case has now been returned to the Second Circuit for final disposition of the appeal, and a decision is expected in the near future. On July 9, 2009, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) filed an action in the Superior Cour t of California in San Francisco (the “Superior Court”) asserting two common-law causes of action, negligent misrepresentation and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. The complaint named as defendants the Company, MIS, The McGraw-Hi ll Companies, Fitch, Inc., and various subsidiaries of Fitch, Inc. (CalPERS subsequently released the Fitch entities from the case). The action relates to the plaintiff’s purchase of securities issued by three structured investment vehicles (“SIVs”) known as Cheyne Finance, Sigma Finance, and Stanfield Victoria Funding. The plaintiff’s complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages arising from alleged losses in connection with investments that purportedly totaled approximately $1.3 billion; in subsequent court filings, the plaintiff claimed to have suffered “unrealized losses” of approximately $779 million. The central allegation against the defendants is that the credit ratings assigned to the securities issued by the SIVs were inaccurate and that the me thodologies used by the rating agencies had no reasonable basis. In August 2009, the defendants removed the action to federal court, but the case was remanded to state court in November 2009 based on a finding that CalPERS is an “arm of the State.” In Apri l 2010, in response to a motion by the defendants, the Superior Court dismissed the claim for negligent interference with prospective economic advantage but declined to dismiss the claim for negligent misrepresentation. In October 2010, the defendants file d a special motion to dismiss the remaining negligent misrepresentation claim under California’s “anti-SLAPP” statute, which limits the maintenance of lawsuits based on speech on matters of public interest. In January 2012, the Superior Court denied the an ti-SLAPP motion, ruling that, although the ratings qualify as protected speech activity under California law, the plaintiff had provided sufficient evidence in support of its claims to proceed. The defendants appealed this decision to the California Court of Appeal, which affirmed the Superior Court’s rulings in May 2014, and in September 2014, the Supreme Court of California declined to review the Court of Appeal’s decision. The action has been returned to the Superior Court, and discovery has begun. On Ma rch 11, 2015, pursuant to a settlement agreement in which S&P agreed to pay CalPERS $125 million, S&P was dismissed from the action. In November 2008, Pursuit Partners, LLC and Pursuit Investment Management, LLC filed an amended complaint adding the Compa ny as a defendant to an existing action, which was then pending in the Superior Court of Connecticut in Stamford against UBS AG, UBS Securities LLC, and a UBS employee (collectively, “UBS”). The Company was served in January 2009, and in October 2011, the Company’s rating agency subsidiary, MIS, was substituted for the Company as a defendant. The action arises out of UBS’s sale of five collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) to the plaintiffs, who purchased them on the secondary market in 2007 on behalf of two investment funds under their management. With respect to UBS, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that UBS made material misrepresentations and omissions in pre-sale communications with the plaintiffs. With respect to MIS, the plaintiffs allege , among other things, that, prior to the plaintiffs’ purchases, MIS provided UBS with non-public information about potential downgrades of the ratings of the CDOs while maintaining inappropriate investment-grade ratings on the CDOs. As to all defendants, p laintiffs seek compensatory damages for alleged investment losses of approximately $44 million, as well as, among other things, attorney’s fees, costs, interest, and punitive damages. Plaintiffs’ initial complaint against the Company asserted claims for fr aud, violation of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act (“CUSA”), aiding and abetting fraud and civil theft by UBS, negligent/reckless conduct, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy. In March 2012, the court granted MIS’s motion to strike the claim for unjust enrichment but denied MIS’s motion to strike the other claims. In June 2012, after the close of discovery, MIS moved to dismiss all claims against it for lack of standing and also moved for summary judgment. In October 2012, the court granted the mo tion to dismiss, but in July 2014, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration and reinstated the action. In October 2014, MIS filed a new motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds, which was denied on February 11, 2015. MIS’s motion for summary judgment, originally filed in June 2012, was denied on June 17, 2015. Trial is scheduled to begin on August 18, 2015, in the Superior Court of Connecticut in Waterbury. For claims, litigation and proceedings and governmental investigations and i nquires not related to income taxes, where it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and periodically adjusts these as appropriate. When the reasonable estimate of the loss is within a range of amounts, the minimum amount of the range is accrued unless some higher amount within the range is a better estimate than another amount within the range. In other instances, becaus e of uncertainties related to the probable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, management does not record a liability but discloses the contingency if significant. As additional information becomes available, the Company adjusts its assessments and estimates of such matters accordingly. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation, regulatory, governmental investigations and inquiries, enforcement and similar matters and contingencies, particularly where the claimants s eek large or indeterminate damages or where the parties assert novel legal theories or the matters involve a large number of parties, the Company cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be or the timing of any resolution of suc h matters. The Company also cannot predict the impact (if any) that any such matters may have on how its business is conducted, on its competitive position or on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As the process to resolve any pen ding matters progresses, management will continue to review the latest information available and assess its ability to predict the outcome of such matters and the effects, if any, on its operations and financial condition. However, in light of the large or indeterminate damages sought in some of them, the absence of similar court rulings on the theories of law asserted and uncertainties regarding apportionment of any potential damages, an estimate of the range of possible losses cannot be made at this time. Legacy Tax Matters Moody’s continues to have exposure to potential liabilities arising from Legacy Tax Matters. As of June 30 , 201 5 , Moody’s has recorded liabilities for Legacy Tax Matters totaling $11.1 million. This includes liabilities and accrued in terest due to New D&B arising from the 2000 Distribution Agreement. It is possible that the ultimate liability for Legacy Tax Matters could be greater than the liabilities recorded by the Company, which could result in additional charges that may be materi al to Moody’s future reported results, financial position and cash flows. |

SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2015 | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is organized into three operating segments: ( i ) MIS, (ii) MA and (iii) Copal Amba . The Copal Amba operating segment has been aggregated with the MA operating segment based on the fact that it has similar economic characteristics to MA. Accordingly, the Company reports in two reportable segments: MIS and MA. In January 2014, the Company revised its op erating segments to create the new Copal Amba operating segment. The new operating segment consists of all operations from Copal and the operations of Amba which was acquired in December 2013. The Copal Amba operating segment provides offshore research and analytic services to the global financial and corporate sectors. The Company has determined that the Copal Amba and MA operating segments have similar economic characteristics as set forth in ASC 280. As such, Copal Amba has been combined with MA to form the MA reportable segment and Copal Amba’s revenue is reported in the PS LOB. In the fourth quarter of 2014, pursuant to the acquisition of ICRA, Moody’s realigned certain components of its reportable segments to better align with the current manageme nt structure of the Company. The effect of this realignment was to combine non-ratings ICRA operations with certain immaterial research and fixed income pricing operations in the Asia-Pacific region that were previously reported in the RD&A LOB of MA. Al l of these operations are managed by MIS and their revenue is now reported in the new MIS Other LOB. All operating expenses from these operations are reported in the MIS reportable segment. The impact of this realignment did not have a significant impact on previously reported results for the reportable segments and all prior year comparative periods have been restated to reflect this realignment. The MIS segment now co nsists of five LOBs . The corporate finance, structured finance, financial institutio ns and public, project and infrastructure finance LOBs generate revenue principally from fees for the assignment and ongoing monitoring of credit ratings on debt obligations and the entities that issue such obligations in markets worldwide. The MIS Other LOB primarily consists of the distribution of research and fixed income pricing services in the Asia-Pacific region as well as ICRA non-ratings revenue. The MA segment develops a wide range of products and services that support the risk management activiti es of institutional participants in global financial markets. The MA segment con sists of three LOBs – RD&A, ERS and PS. In July 2014, a subsidiary of the Company acquired WebEquity , a leading provider of cloud-based loan origination solutions for financial institutions. WebEquity is part of the MA reportable segment and its revenue is included in the ERS LOB. In October 2014, the Company acquired Lewtan , a leading provider of analytical tools and data for the global structured finance market. Lewtan is par t of the MA reportable segment and its revenue is included in the RD&A LOB. Revenue for MIS and expenses for MA include an intersegment royalty charged to MA for the rights to use and distribute content, data and products developed by MIS. The royalty rat e charged by MIS approximates the fair value of the aforementioned content, data and products and is generally based on comparable market transactions. Also, revenue for MA and expenses for MIS include an intersegment fee charged to MIS from MA for certain MA products and services utilized in MIS’s ratings process. These fees charged by MA are generally equal to the costs incurred by MA to produce these products and services. Additionally, overhead costs and corporate expenses of the Company which exclusive ly benefit only one segment, are fully charged to that segment. Overhead costs and corporate expenses of the Company which benefit both segments are allocated to each segment based on a revenue-split methodology. Overhead expenses include costs such as ren t and occupancy, information technology and support staff such as finance, human resources and information technology. “Eliminations” in the table below represent intersegment revenue/expense . Moody’s does not report the Company’s assets by reportable segme nt as this metric is not used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources to the segments. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by reportable segment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STAN
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2015 | |
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | NOTE 16. RECENTLY ISSUED A CCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This ASU outlines a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption options and the impact that adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statement s. Currently, the Company believes this ASU will have an impact on: i ) the capitalization of certain contract implementation costs for its ERS business; ii) the accounting for certain ratings monitoring fees received in advance of service being rendered; iii) the accounting for certain license and maintenance revenue in MA; iv) the accounting for certain ERS revenue arrangements where VSOE is not available and v) the accounting for contract acquisition costs. In April 2015, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date of the ASU for annual and interim reporting periods beginn ing after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted up to the original effective date of December 15, 2016. This proposal was subject to the FASB’s normal due process requirem ents which included a 30-day public comment period on the proposed ASU. In July 2015, the FASB reaffirmed its decision to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. A final ASU relating to this deferral is expected in the third quarter of 201 5. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05 “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. This ASU provides guidance on accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. In accordance with the ASU, a cloud computing arrangement that contains a software license should be accounted for consistently with the acquisition of other software licenses. If no software license is present in the contract, the entity should account for the arrangement as a servi ce contract. The Company can elect to apply this ASU either retrospectively or prospectively effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impa ct that adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. This ASU simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs in financ ial statements and requires a company to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The ASU is effective retros pectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will impact the presentation of debt issuance costs in the Company’ s consolidated balance sheets. In May 2 015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07 “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU removes the requirement to include investments in the fair value hierarchy for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient. ASU No. 2015-07 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will only impact the presentati on of the Company’s pension assets invested in common/collective trust funds in the fair value hierarchy disclosures. |
