Purchase Price Hedge Gain:

There was a $111.1 million realized gain reflecting gains on an FX collar and foreign exchange forwards to economically hedge the euro denominated purchase price for Bureau van Dijk as more fully discussed in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

CCXI Gain:

CCXI is a Chinese credit rating agency in which Moody’s acquired a 49% stake in 2006. Moody’s accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting. On March 21, 2017, CCXI, as part of a strategic business realignment, issued additional capital to its majority shareholder in exchange for a ratings business wholly-owned by the majority shareholder and which has the right to rate a different class of debt instrument in the Chinese market. The capital issuance by CCXI in exchange for this ratings business diluted Moody’s ownership interest in CCXI to 30% of a larger business and resulted in a $59.7 million non-cash, non-taxable gain. The issuance of additional capital by CCXI is treated as if Moody’s sold a 19% interest in CCXI at fair value. The fair value of the 19% interest in CCXI that Moody’s hypothetically sold was estimated using both a discounted cash flow methodology and comparable public company multiples. A DCF analysis requires significant estimates, including projections of future operating results and cash flows based on the budgets and forecasts of CCXI, expected long-term growth rates, terminal values, WACC and the effects of external factors and market conditions. Moody’s will continue to account for its 30% interest in CCXI under the equity method of accounting.
